The Hero Of Dreams - A Complete Retrospective On The Hyper Agent Gridman

When it comes to the world of Tokusatsu, there are the 3 obvious kings. Super Sentai, Kamen Rider, and Ultraman. But one franchise that I feel has never truly gotten its flowers in the manor it deserves is The Hyper Agent Gridman! Born from an economically turbulent Japan, the Hero Of Dreams first came into the world in 1993, with a successful television run. After that, for some years the property was put on ice, that is until Studio Trigger's hit 2018 anime, SSSS.Gridman. Celebrating the 30th anniversary of the series this is a complete retrospective on every angle of Gridman as a series, from its initial pre production origins, to Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad, its american re-adaptation. To my favorite anime of the last decade, SSSS.Dynazenon. To the brand new anniversary film, Gridman Universe in 2023. This video became massive in scale, and I couldn't have done it without the support of everyone who watches these videos and has contributed to this channels growth. Thank you so much.
