Today the production team behind the Denkou Choujin Gridman revival project, SSSS Gridman, held a live event called Gridman Special Night to promote the October premiere of the series.
The event featured interviews with the cast and crew, hi-res looks at character & kaiju designs, and a surprising look at a physical live action suit for SSSS Gridman! This suit was surely produced for promotional purposes rather than any real use in a live action production, but it’s unquestionable just how good it looks standing next to the original Gridman. Hopefully this isn’t the last we’ve seen of it.
SSSS Gridman officially premieres this October!
Den-O says
Some character designs, new Kaiju for the series, and surprisingly a gorgeous physical suit of the SSSS Gridman design! This suit was produced for promotional purposes rather than any real use in a live action production, but it looks magnificent anyway.
IgnikaMarcus says
Gridman *cough*Servo*cough* is looking good there.
Side note, if this ever gets an English dub, the opening needs to be a cover of the original SSSS theme.

Option #1: "Renewed interest in Gridman with New Anime leads to renewed interest with original series which is viewed and understood differently than it was in the old days which sparks interest in a Live-action Gridman Revival Movie with the promotional suits at the Special Night Event serving as inspiration which leads to a new Super-Human Samurai Revival Movie, possibly after Hasbro gets the rights to the original series and tries to find some of the original actors to reprise their original roles which were originally meant to capitalize on the success of American Tokusatsu thanks to Power Rangers which Hasbro now has the rights to, possibly leading to a Super-Human Samurai vs. Power Rangers Crossover Event that defies logic and echoes what American-Tokusatsu-in-the-Nineties were all about in a nutshell!"
Option #2: "They could dub the new Anime and shove it on Toonami!"
Which works better?
Smozz says
All this Gridman stuff on the front page makes me happy.
Costume SSSS Gridman looks rad. He has giant feet though!

So redhead kid is the host. I assume the three forms are depending on how you stack the support vehicles.
