Yuuta Hibiki wakes up in the room of Rikka Takarada and notices two things: he has no memories, and he can hear a mysterious voice calling his name from a nearby room. On further inspection, he finds a robot—which introduces itself as Hyper Agent Gridman—behind the screen of an old computer. Much to Yuuta's surprise, Rikka cannot hear Gridman, nor can she see the ominous monsters looming over a thick fog as it envelopes the town outside. Another giant monster materializes in the city and proceeds to wreak havoc. Amidst the confusion, Yuuta is once again drawn to the old computer and merges with Gridman. Suddenly, he appears in the middle of the battle and is forced to fight the monster. Together with Rikka and fellow classmate Shou Utsumi, Yuuta forms the "Gridman Alliance" to defeat the monsters plaguing the city and find whoever is responsible for their emergence.

Verified RatingActually a lifechanging episode. we have to remember that Gridman is a character from a 1993 tokusatsu show, and this episode pays homage to everything that tokusatsu is about, specially about the hope-filled messages that it conveys. "You're all... not alone" is the core message of Gridman and something we must carry within ourselves.
Verified RatingSolid episode that continues flawlessly from the previous cliffhanger. The city not resetting after the previous episode shows that the situation now is dire. The relationship between the Neon Genesis' students and Rikka's mom is nice to see, they have been hanging out in her shop for a while after all.
Verified RatingThe first half of the episode feels like the previous ones, with themes and such, it picks up and get interesting after the kaiju appears. Seeing Anti reflect upon his raison d'etre and thus changing what he is was an interesting development. It is akin to when one of the antagonists joins the Sentai team halfway through the season. The episode also has an amazing cliffhanger for the remaining ones.
