About SSSS.GRIDMAN

Meet SSSS.GRIDMAN, an action, mecha and sci-fi anime by TRIGGER and Tsuburaya Productions (2018). Here is the premise in a nutshell. What the story covers: Collaboration with Tsuburaya Productions. Yuta Hibiki awakens with amnesia and the ability see things that others cannot.

Soon after, he first encounters a Gridman in the reflection of his friend Rikka Takarada's computer and it tells him to "Remember his calling," but Yuta doesn't understand what this means. Later, in the distance, he sees an extremely large monster but it doesn't move. It's only when Yuta gets to school that the two sightings make sense: a monster attacks and the hero Yuta saw in the computer screen pulls him within the computer and transforms Yuta into a giant hero named Gridman.
