One of the things I loved about Gridman/Dynazemon was the naturalistic dialogue.
It’s one of the best naturalistic dialogue I’ve seen on an anime for awhile now, not to mention the dry humor is just chef kiss. Actually wondering what other anime that has this similiar style of naturalistic dialogue, because I'm gonna really miss it after this anime
I love the awkward silence
Boy them little cringy moments like Anti hittin his sword while turning are the salt of the anime
That's because they hire Ultraman writer who write for Dorama/Tokusatsu for that franchise.
Usually this style of dialogue often happened in anime movie original . And with unique cinematography of SSSS series and High quality of sound editing (seriously check it how SSSS editing sound, it's very good quality), you can get discount movie anime quality for anime series in SSSS. series.
I really hope Dynazenon gets more attention, it was such a good show and had such a unique feel. Also its soundtrack was a banger, any show that unapologetically uses its OP for hype gets a like in my book.
Re:Creators has a stellar ost by Hiroyuki Sawano, same guy as 86 and Attack on Titan. Definitely a must watch.
This show is sooooo under-appreciated (at least in the west). Both gridman and Dynazenon have some of the most superb directing and feels very reminiscent of the greats like hideaki anno. I was honestly more invested in the dialogue and the characters than I was in the action scenes so I’m glad the direction is getting the praise it deserves here.
I also felt a bit nostalgic to older mecha shows when watching the SSSS series, with its introspection and focus on characters, like NGE
What I found interesting was that dynazenon was not just a follow up to gridman. Gridman was more a half tokusatsu half yusha series homage while dynazenon went all in on the tokusatsu elements with cgi buildings feeling like miniatures
probably because it had bigger buildings. Gridman had smaller structures in comparison. The vast majority of buildings there didn't reach the size of some of the kaijus
Half yusha? What does that mean exactly
@@bonefire8640 I'm not sure if I am right, but I found that yusha translated to hero or something like that
@@luckyowl10 oh its other name is brave series which is super robots
It's so sad to me how a huge portion of the western fan base aren't even going to give this anime a chance because giant robots and cgi aren't cool anymore. Thankfully the Japanese fanbase are keeping the franchise alive.
Yeah. It's also because it's not the type of show western fans expect from Trigger, and they aren't familiar with Gridman the same way Japan is. Yes, we do have Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad, the adaptation of Gridman in the west. But a lot of American tokusatsu adaptations that aren't Power Rangers are regularly ignored. And are often unfairly labeled with the same 90s cheese MMPR had. Especially a lot of the other PR seasons.
It makes me very worried that western fans will ignore the Kamen Rider Double anime the same way next summer. Especially since it's a sequel to the original toku show that they likely won't watch because it's live-action, 49 episodes, and not legal to stream yet. Which sucks because Double is a great introduction to Kamen Rider.
don't worry we other Asian countries will support it... after all we basically grew up on that...
Gridman was my AOTY back in 2018, such an unexpected, surprising rollercoaster of emotions. With Dynazenon I already knew what to expect but ofc Trigger always knocks it out of the park.
And, yes, that Kaiser Girdknight gattai scene is one of the most satisfying I've ever seen and will ever see. You know they're all gonna combine, you want them to, and yet again it goes way beyond expectations
I laughed so hard at that first transform. The cheesiness was so bombastically awesome with over-the-top moments just piling one on another for final eternal gloriousness. It stretched the sequence to breaking point but delivered with each additional moment spectacularly.
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS series is definitely a slap of emotional tokusatsu mix 2D and 3D that i didnt knew i need
I loved how the characters in SSSS.Dynazenon felt so close to real life and sincere
Im so glad this video exists, Dynazenon's animation and direction was so superb and amazing so to see you put them all into one neat and compact video is great to see
Underrated show. MASSIVE payoff for old school toku fans.
Second-chan is Best Girl.
I don't even really like classic tokusatsu, i like the concept more than the execution, which is why i love this new wave of kaiju.
Second-chan is SECOND best girl. Akane is true best in class.

"Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad" a nod to the American adaptation of Gridman.
@@MrLCGO Good thing it is not.
@@theLikou1 Yes it is. It also has other meanings particular to each show. Something can have multiple meanings.
"Scarred Souls Shine like Stars" for Dynazenon and "Special Signature to Save a Soul" for Gridman
@@GervasiusMC This. While it is a nod to "Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad", they still gave SSSS their own meaning for both Gridman and Dynazenon.
The subtlety of the not-action scenes acted as a catapult for hype up further the "Studio Trigger" brand of action scenes of this anime. Bravo!
Love these shows so much, as someone who very much appreciates toku and just mecha/kaiju in general this series was a Godsend. Also love the almost Hideaki Anno like directing style in some episodes and subliminal messaging/ communication through shot framing. Also helps that the soundtrack is full of absolute bangers (the Battle Go bit of episode 10 of Dynazenon is insanely synced). Very very excited for the crossover season, an absolute shame people in the west are reluctant to try it out given the bad rep tokustatsu has always had and for some reason mecha has been given lately, very grateful the Japanese audience made this series as successful as it is.
I think what awesome with the SSSS series, like videos from Mother Basement, is how this series animation feel like real life tokusatsu. The battle is slow and have weight, the monster design feel like you can created it as real life suit, most of the action you can do it wirework with some action is over the top anime action. You can feel how much the team behind the series love and respect tokusatsu
wait, Dynazenon x Gridman was announced?? I didn't see that endcard on Funimation release, never even saw a post on r/anime or anything...
edit: alright, pirated a raw and saw the endcard. what the hell funimation? that is important information, don't cut it for no reason!
super fucking hype now, though I was kinda hoping for the impossible dream of 3-5 seasons before the Avengers team up, this is good too. maybe a Precure-esque setup where they have a collab movie every time they introduce a new group? I never want this series to end.
The funimation sub omitted the announcement for some reason (i guess they didnt want to promote a show they might not have the rights to by the time it airs) but there was a post on r/anime, made after episode 12 aired. That's how i learned of it IIRC. But yeah, super hyped about it, probably the single show i'm most hyped about at the moment
What i like about both SSSS Gridman and Dynazenon is that it seemingly did the impossible. Hyper Agent Gridman at this point was widely considered forgotten by the majority of the Tokusatsu community apart from those who watch this and its English adaptation Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad back in the 90s.
In my watch of Dynazenon, I feel that it was a sorta mirror image of Gridman. Like where Gridman had alright to meh lead characters but amazing villains, Dynazenon is reverse where the villains just kinda sucked but the main characters were the highlights of my viewing. Where I came back to see Akane and her development this time I revisted for Yomogi and Minami develop from totally strangers to boyfriend and girlfriend while also investigating Minami's sister's death. Having Anti return as a supporting role was the second highlight of the series. We've watched him grow from an intelligent kaiju to Gridknight and now end up as sorta a mentor figure along with Second, who serves as his main confidant like Yomogi is to Minami. I said years ago that I hope we see Gridknight again in the next series, here i got my wish although he's not the main lead i still loved see him.
The fights were just as good as last series. In fact I noted that there weren't that much story in Dynazenon, with the villains only slightly more a threat at the end and more focus on the characters. In spot each episode felt like a classic Tokusatsu episode. The plot of a standard Tokusatsu is pretty simple to follow even an idiot can understand: starts with characters going about their day with some minor problem or dilemma, meanwhile villains are conversing in their base and decide on a plan to destroy their enemies before making a monster or kaiju, kaiju is unleashed and the heroes get in their mecha and stops evil plan, then resolution on dilemma. Done! While Gridman had more emphasis on the story with Akane, Dynazenon was more low-key with its story and focuses more on the main leads while there isn't that much at stake.
But here's the thing. SSSS Dynazenon proved that SSSS Gridman was not a one hit wonder, that it can work a second time and succeed just as it did when it first premiered. With Gridman X Dynazenon slated for next year, I'm more than positive that it will succeed again. Baby dan dan forever!!!!
Gridman and Dynazenon have to be the most under watched anime in their respective seasons. So many great moments in these shows and the animation & music are top notch. I came in due to my Gridman nostalgia I watched as a kid but these shows uplifted the og 👏
I agree that the CG is good for making the show look like a tokusatsu show. It's one of the rare times when doing it in 3D makes sense.
I love both seasons. breath taking frames and animation, beautiful music and good character development. I hope there will be more.
Graphinica : Made the wasted anime of record of ragnarok
Graphinica : Made the 3D fights of Gridman....
So yeah, looks like Graphinica isn't ready to be the lead animating studio yet.
I mean their work as lead studio on hello world and expelled from paradise was pretty darn impressive imo.
So they should just make more 3d anime instead as lead studio, imo that's where graphinica shines.
Important to consider Record of Ragnarok had a terrible schedule anyway so I can't really blame them for how it turned out
Well, they made Hello World, which is full CG, and it's pretty good.
Record of Ragnarok is bad cuz bad schedule timing and NETFLIX
Wasn't one of their first projects the last 3 Hellsing Ultimate OVAs and Hellsing the Dawn?
Huh, a subtle Trigger show? That’s a first.
Tremendous work you doing each video
Another amazing video! Learning the behind the scenes stuff about the people who make this awesome anime is super inspiring. It might be a bit of a pipe dream, but it makes me dream about creating my own studio one day.
The subtle and quiet feels every scene is just so good
The real outfits thing is a proper toku trope. The idea that anyone can be a hero no matter how they dress, cos' of the henshin device thing
I loved watching Dynazenon every week I can’t wait for the crossover
Absolutely love how your passion and excitement overflows onto us, the viewers. You rock, Canipa Effect ;D
Thank you!!
This show was my anime of the year tied with JJK. Definitely one of the best I’ve seen in a long ass time
Dynazenon is so cool! And what a first episode with 2 full transformations.
slapping video!
new canipa effect dropped and it's made for MEEEE!!!
Dynazenon is amazing! I can't wait for the sequel.
So that's why the sound design was topnotch!
I love these shows so much
Thank you so much for this video canipa, at this point i think dynazenon is peak studio trigger
I always have a laugh during the Patreon shout outs; Some random nicknames and internet handles then "My own Mother" comes out. Thanks again for the videos!!
No problem at all! Yeah, my mum became a Patreon as a joke so I'd have to say her name, and then she just never unsubscribed lol.
8:47 man that scene looked amazing, episode 9 in general is just amazing
This gridman series, somehow reminds me of a more positive and more friendly evangelion. They center around self care message and the fact that the dialogue flows with minimal BGM everything being more subtle reminds me of early EVA where almost every shot was very nicely composed.
It’s not mentioned in here, but Hideaki Anno is easily one of Amemiya’s greatest inspirations, and his style is clearly very similar to Anno’s, but he’s definitely made it his own with these two shows
To go along with the other comment, Gridman especially is filled with Eva references including a homage to the famous elevator scene.
You should make a "records of ragnarok" brake down animation.I think it would be cool to understand what happened
Trigger's getting Patreon money and still not paying their animators!?
The audacity!
It's only $6k per month
What is that money for anyway, i know it isn't for animation production.
The money on Patreon would barely make about 3 minimum wages in Tokyo.
I LITERALLY just finished the last episode of SSSS.Dynazenon.
The drama was really well done and I love the realistic voice acting. I would've preferred no kaiju, tho. It always felt like an interruption of all that good character drama.
Just here looking for fellow Mujina fans... I know I'm not alone
#thiccthighs
I would love to see you talk about Yoneyama Mai, she is an amazing artist that I was always admire to be like since I discover her last year.
YEAAAAAH DYNAZENON
i love ssss gridman and ssss dynazeon.. i need more
SSSS.GRIDMAN is my top 1 favorite anime ever ♡. The story feels like it's the antagonist's story more than anyone else's
DYNAZENON's not as hype, but I still enjoyed it. I didn't get it until I saw another art dissection video from a different youtuber. It's a story of stagnation, something many can relate to
Also, Trigger, please spend my Patreon money I send every month to the animators ♡
Dynazenon deserves so much more recognition.
I’m hype outta my mind
I haven’t heard this show yet but loved Gridman :]
Not gonna lie I liked this a lot more than Gridman
9:17 ahh that. You mean that famous powerpoint presentation?
Akira Amemiya is a perfect definition of "Duality of a Person".
Can you please make a video on either CloverWorks or Sunrise. Another PA Works video will also be great 🙏🙏🙏
A video on CloverWorks would be pretty interesting, especially with how much of a mess the production of Wonder Egg Priority was.
They do sell those trigger lanyards though, they had some at the imaishi expo
In this case it was an actual animator who had just arrived home from work at Trigger XD
@@TheCanipaEffect :(
Key information about the show from the latest and final Dynazenon Radio Show.
- Confirms that Akira Amemiya’s the one who came up with the name ‘YomoYume Imperfect’ for the radio show
- Also confirms that he’s the one who came up with Yomogi cosplaying as Gauma / the mummy (and very likely Yume as the princess / yuurei) for the finale
- Suggests that Yomogi and Yume went together to buy their matching umbrellas after Yume lost her umbrella in the first episode, Yomogi’s VA gets jealously annoyed over this
- Kaneishi's crush being verbalized was purposely left out and Amemiya wanted it to be told that way silently in the background and if you didn't catch it well it doesn't affect anything but if you did great.
- They talked about the VA of Yomo's dad, and it's a secret. But Yomo's VA says when you hear it you should be able to guess who it is.
- Shizumu never got tired because he was always connected to a Kaiju. Which was a detail, Wakyama and Enoki didn't notice.
- Both Amemiya and the voice actors of Yomo and Yume said it the last voice drama will be something sweet.
- Amemiya said in the last program of the radio "YomoYume Imperfect". When asked if Dynazenon was the real world he replied with "For Yomogi and Yume, this is reality".
- Yomogi’s VA brought up that YomoYume has matching umbrellas and he would be a bit pissed if he saw a couple doing that irl, once Amemiya suggests YomoYume bought them together he goes ‘goddamnit’ twice at the young lovebirds and Yume’s VA points out his resentment is leaking out.
Ooh, I love the vague answer about whether it's the real world or not. I guess we'll be learning more about this "Universe" in the next series.
The SSSS Gridman Universe is when Studio Trigger returns to their roots and inspiration by Tokusatsu, and go full Gainax.
The last part of this video can be said for mappa too
Also that anime ragnerock going with still frames for some stuff jsut reminds me of the final season of fairy tail where it started doing the same thing.
Man i would love to see 86''s showcase in canipa effect..
I loved both SSSS Gridmon and SSSS Dynazenon.
I love Gridman even more now since I last year watched Hyper Agent Gridman and it was a lot of fun to watch.
Both Gridman and Dynazenon remind me of Power Rangers when I would get up early in the morning just so i could see the next episode of the show.
When the dvd's become avilable I'm buying them so i have the series forever in my collection
for me this balance of naturalistic gray life
with Tokusatsu guts, bravery, love, friendship and save the world!
worked for this series.
In a way, characters fight with kaiju is a bit like our escapism into anime and absorbing heroic values from them. Thats how in SSSSDynazeon main characters, inspired by Tokusatsu values eventually find purpose in life and move forward.
I can't express just how much I love both Gridman and Dynazenon. Gridman is one of the few anime I consider my favourite. I didn't yet rate Dynazenon because I don't want recency bias to show, but I can't imagine I will rank it anywhere else than up there with Gridman.
What made Gridman cool for me was how it paid homage to tokusatsu through aspects like the suit-like kaiju designs and the logic behind the computer world.
Dynazenon felt more like a TRIGGER show which definitely came from the lack of restrictions that comes with an adaption. Gauma looks straight out of Gurren Lagann. Hell, the fight with the penultimate kaiju is literally the 11th hour of Gurren Lagann. It loses what made Gridman unique but the improvements to the previous show more than justified it.
Yeah, the fights lost a little of that weight, the mechas now do more super jumps and don't look much like someone on a costume.
I think they still have a great balance on the fight scene between tokusatsu wirework feel and over the top anime feel
Yeah i felt that. Gridman felt more like a straight up Saturday morning cartoon while dynazenon is just its own thing. That being said overall dynazenon is a step ahead in improvement from gridman imo so that more than to justify the loss of the unique feel gridman had
Gauma was the mummy from the orignal series hyper agent Gridman (1993) episode 18
@@blackblade7757 Yeah, I know. I saw the original Gridman after the anime came out in 2018. What I meant was his redesign looks very Trigger.
Dynazemon was my favorite last season
Finally
DYNAZENON is unironically good i need to finish it lol
Gridman the hyper agent is the SHIT! Love that show!
Hey have you considered doing a video on Scissor Seven?
Is it possible you could ever do a "Animator Spotlight" for the currently running Pokemon Journeys?
Asking since I terribly loved your input for the Sun&Moon Part 1 and 2 videos😄 Its ok if you cant!
Excellent video as always. I definitely enjoyed Dynazenon more than Gridman because of the better executed character writing, dialogue, drama and sense of quiet introspection. Most of the characters in Gridman felt kinda flat to me aside from the villain girl and Knight. Amemiya and his crew did a great job. While they might be empty words on their part, I really do hope work conditions and pay improve at TRIGGER and the industry itself.
i wanna know if there is some interesting story about vivy's creation
I need the Soundtrack to Dynazenon now!!!!!!!
It's already out.
Is that a hint for the next video? (IG production, Moriaty the patriot)
can you create a video on Vivy?
How do you make such good video but so little subscriber?
It's really disappointing to hear about their working conditions.
So directors are important
Hi are you going to talk about the demon slayer film...so beautiful the animation
WE NEED A DAVID PRODUCTIONS VIDEO
I was wondering if you were gonna touch on Dynazenon.
Favourite show of the season!
is there a news for new season of ssss series?
Yeah it was announced a crossover between SSSS GridmanXDynazenon. They writing isn’t done but it was announced in Japan last episode of dynazenon hopefully we see or hear more by the end log the year
I'm still waiting the day a 2D classic Ultraman anime show is made.
Is that Howard wimshurst?
Dude its beem 4 years
I yet have to understand what just happened there :/
Is there even a story? Or just teens getting inside a robot, fighting big monsters till they leave
I got confused when I heard Howords voice
Dynazenon the G.O.A.T
SSSS Gridman/Dynazenon series is that kind of anime where it's mostly like a slice of life, but then it got spiced up with epic mecha-kaiju battles and *deep* dramas and dialogues 😂🤣😂🤣
Seeing that even Trigger isn't immune to the ongoing troubles with workplace issues... It doesn't exactly shock me. It just dissapoints.
power point
I'm going to be honest, that wasn't much of a grid man spoiler considering i generally had no idea what was going on
welp, I guess im a mecha fan now.
can you do sunrise? I think it will be time consuming to make and research considering how beefy the studio is. sunrise is a damn underrated studio that nobody talks about somehow
Guess I'm gonna miss Mujina then 😂
10:00
Let's not talk about record of ragnarak XD
.
Or maybe you can go detailed for what actually went behind of ragnarak
Sssssssss🤣🤣🔥

@@neroshiki7575 o got it thanks 🙏🏾
Can you make a vid about pierrot someday :)
Like if you think he should
The thing that I found with Dynazenon is that it feels very much like a mirrored version of Gridman. Where Gridman had alright to bland and at worst a terrible (specifically Utsumi and his dickishness) main cast of heroes while the villains particular Akane and Anti had amazing character arcs where you want to see what they'll do next, Dynazenon is the exact reverse with bland villains and a cast of colorful characters where you genuinely want to follow. With Yogomi and Minami i absolutely loved seeing them together and watching them grow into a couple while also investigating Kano's death like Sherlock and Watson. There were no bad moments between the main characters, Chise was seen a little as a third wheel but she was pretty cool with creating Goldburn. With Anti, returning as a main character and the most experienced Kaiju fight was a brilliant move on the director's part. It feels like he's matured in the intervening time between the two shows, kinda becoming an Obi-Wan like figure. All I can say for him was its great to have him back even if he didn't go through the same development as the others his arc was in Gridman where he stopped being a Kaiju and joined forces with the very thing he was made to destroy.
What did drag this show down was the Kaiju Eugenicists. If you like these guys, totally cool I can see why, however they weren't interesting to watch and ultimately they were boring. Like Akane before them they had failed in every major conflict with Dynazenon and Gridknight, but unlike Akane they had scored no major victories against the team and really they just sucked at their job. Mind you they didn't have the resources and creativity that Akane and Alexis Kerib had, but at times whenever they started spouting about how they'll destroy the world I just looked at them as hypocrites. They seem perfectly contempt without destroying the world, spending most of their time having fun and going to movies. Really why do they even want to destroy Akane's world? Having laid back villains is ok sometimes but when your heroes are supposed to be afraid of them it just creates a weird paradox that make them look incompetent.
But what I'm trying to get at is that Dynazenon proved that SSSS Gridman wasn't a fluke. That its major success over the Godzilla Anime Trilogy wasn't some weird coincidence, lightning in a bottle if you will a one shot only. However this show proves that kaiju anime can work, sure there have been other shows in the past but I'm talking about the new age. I love Gridman, its a beautifully underrated anime that seemingly did the impossible and expanded on it. And it ain't done yet. At the ending of Dynazenon, trigger revealed the next installment of the Gridman Universe. I'm looking forward to Gridman X Dynazenon.
Baby dan dan forever!
lmao at one point this guy just straight up spew a lot of Ss for the anime title 😂
Had to throw in a voice recording joke lol. It's really difficult to tell how many Ss you're saying when you're recording audio.
Why not talk of Manglobe that is no longer?
