In case you’re unfamiliar, Tsuburaya Productions is the iconic studio by Eiji Tsuburaya, the creator of the Ultraman series and co-creator of the Godzilla franchise. The series began with SSSS.Gridman, an anime by Studio Trigger that was released in 2018. It is loosely based on the Denkou Choujin Gridman (aka Gridman the Hyper Agent) tokusatsu series which was released back in 1993. Trigger followed it up with SSSS.Dynazenon which aired from April to June 2021. Unlike the first anime which is similar to Ultraman-style tokusatsu shows, Dyznazenon features mecha versus kaiju action. While there’s no info yet on its story, the cast and visuals confirm that this movie will feature a crossover between the two previous TV anime projects. The Gridman Universe movie is set to release sometime in 2023, though there’s no word yet on an official release date. If you haven’t seen the two previous series yet, both shows are currently streaming on Crunchyroll.
