History YMMV / SSSSGridman

* MisaimedFandom: The anime is clearly aimed at those who watched the source material (and its American adaptation) as kids, as well as kaiju fans and tokusatsu fans. And there are those who watch the show for the "waifus" Rikka and Akane, some of them even hoping the two will become a lesbian pairing... despite the fact that Rikka's friendship with Akane is PlayedForDrama and Akane is the BigBad [[spoiler: turned TragicVillain due to the manipulations of the BiggerBad.]]

* FandomBerserkButton: For some fans, the {{Fanservice}}-obsessed segments of the fandom is this due to the fact that the majority of the main cast, and the most often lewdly portrayed characters, are ''[[{{Squick}} underage.]]''

* PeripheryDemographic: The anime is clearly aimed at those who watched the source material (and its American adaptation) as kids, as well as kaiju fans and tokusatsu fans. And there are those who watch the show for the "waifus" Rikka and Akane...and then some of them watched on whether the girls will become lesbians.

* EpilepticTrees: Many fans speculated that Akane will become a Kaiju in the final episodes, and her Kaiju design is very likely to resemble a ''[[Anime/DarlingInTheFranxx Franxx]]''-like humanoid. If this really happens, this could be a case of Trigger's SelfDeprecation and a chance of [[TakeThat redeeming]] [[WinBackTheCrowd themselves for the fandom]].

** Thank you Gridman. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Given the notoriety of [[Anime/DarlingInTheFranxx Trigger's previous Anime]], fans were eternally grateful to the fact that [[AuthorsSavingThrow Gridman eventually showed up and stopped Yuta and Rikka for doing any unnecessary drama in the anime]].[[/labelnote]]

* AdaptationDisplacement: Half/some of the fans are completely unfamiliar with the Ultra Series and the majority of Tokusatsu shows and instead, would compare the show with ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion''.

* WhatAnIdiot: Akane [[spoiler:enters the shop at the end of episode 10, and no one tries to restrain her. Yuta gets stabbed when he walks up to her to talk her down. That said, there is the possibility that [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu no one wanted to attempt to aggravate the god of their world much further.]]]]

* BestKnownForTheFanservice: If there's anything you can glean from all the Pixiv and Twitter art, ''SSSS'' is about the cute girl with the thighs, the cute evil girl with the big breasts, and ''maybe'' something about cybernetic kaiju.

* PeripheryDemographic: The anime is clearly aimed at those who watched the source material (and its American adaptation) as kids, as well as kaiju fans and tokusatsu fans. And there are those who watch the show for the "waifus" Rikka and Akane.

* MoralEventHorizon: Akane gets hers in Episode 10 [[spoiler: when she attempts to murder Yuta personally with a knife after her newest monster failed to do the job.]]

* WinBackTheCrowd: After how...[[InternetBackdraft controversial]] ''Anime/DarlingInTheFranxx'' ended up being, the success of ''SSSS.Gridman'' has redeemed Trigger in the eyes of many viewers, especially the lack of RomanticPlotTumor.

* CounterpartComparison: This show is about an amnesiac main character who is bound/transform into a superhero from a pre-2000 tokusatsu show that was given a modern redesign while fighting against monster attacks and strives to discover their lost memories. Are we talking about ''SSSS.GRIDMAN'' or ''Series/UltrasevenX''? Hell, their shows are even planned for [[TwelveEpisodeAnime twelve episodes]], premiered in OtakuOClock and owned by Creator/TsuburayaProductions!

* IJustWantToHaveFriends: [[spoiler:Despite being a god, able to destroy & remake the world on a whim, and claiming to have made everyone to love her,]] Episode 9 heavily implies Akane desperately wants people to actually like her. The Alliance even admit that, if they had met normally rather than knowing her as [[spoiler:a [[MisanthropeSupreme petty, misanthropic god]]]], they probably would have been friends.

** All of Episode 4.44, which features Rikka and her mother having a heart-to-heart about mortality and the latter urging the former to stay alive, ending with a cute moment of them laughing over tonight's dinner.

* HoYay: There is some between Rikka and Akane.

** Gridman is Forever. [[labelnote:Explaination]]A snowcloned version of the "Breasts are temporary" meme, fans parroted the sentence just to show that they watch the anime for Gridman's action scenes instead of showing affection to "waifu baits" like Rikka and Akane.[[/labelnote]]

* WinBackTheCrowd: After how...[[InternetBackdraft controversial]] ''Anime/DarlingInTheFranxx'' ended up being, the success of ''SSSS.Gridman'' has redeemed Trigger in the eyes of many viewers.

** Not even Yuta's immune, with fans drawing him lither and shorter to match Rikka and Akane's voluptuous proportions.
