Yuta sees hallucinations of a robot named Gridman in an old computer in Takarada's family store, later called 'Junk' in reference to its name in the original show. His standard introduction no doubt had people rolling their eyes, including me, and it does detract from the story, at least until we learn why he lost his memory. With no clue who she is, or who he is for that matter. The show opens on Yuta Hibiki, an amnesiac first-year in high school who's just woken up in the home of Rikka Takarada, a girl in his class. The new story takes a theme relevant to today's audiences and focuses on the youth of Japan and their relationship to technology. It is overflowing with references and callbacks to the live-action series, SSSS is a lovingly crafted modernized take on the original series. Gridman, the love child of first-time director Akira Amemiya and Keiichi Hasegawa, famed screenwriter of the 1990s Ultraman. More specifically, practical effects think people wrestling in rubber monster suits smashing through model cities and stop motion animation. For those who are new to Gridman and tokusatsu entertainment, it is the Japanese term attached to any sci-fi/fantasy live-action series that uses an abundance of special effects. After 25 years since the original Gridman TV series debuted in 1993, Studio Trigger and Tsuburaya Productions, the company behind Gridman and Ultraman, have collaborated to produce the magnificent tokusatsu inspired reboot SSSS.
