The long awaited dub for this show has come out and it's a solid dub. 2021 has been pretty packed with mecha and in theory, this should be the lighthearted palette cleanser to contrast with the tragedy of 86, but this one is actually also pretty angsty. Really, no surprise when it's predecessor was all about Akane's depression. This time around, it's more of an ensemble show with a team of robot pilots all with their own psychological issues. It almost feels like a weird mix of CW drama angst with highly childish silliness like robots turning into dinosaurs that seem to be an oil/water mix on paper, but somehow the bizarre contrasting elements seem to work better than they should. The action scenes seem even campier than Gridman, yet the character drama is also dialed up too. This series feels like the predecessor series dialed way up. It's an interesting watch and when the dub is finished, I can finally comment on how it all adds up. SSSS.Gridman was a very fun series and I expect this to meet the same expectations.
