Anime Travel 15 – SSSS. Gridman in Real Life


Igusa High School

Mecha anime was not really my goto genre, before I know the badass battle that were introduced by SSSS.Gridman (and of-course not because of Rikka's thighs wink wink). After starting this anime, I have grown my fond towards Gridman series (including SSSS.Dynazenon and Gridman Universe) and of course the legendary amongst them all, Evangelion series.

I admit this obsession of Rikka Takarada is not healthy
financially and mentally lol

At the moment, I would like to continue once again my blog-writing hobby, which was tough after I lost my previous blog that I had to manually restore my backup posts one-by-one from wordpress format to blogger (there were no such automatic process). Nonetheless, I can finally proceed with the journey storytelling. But I will keep the writing to be at minimum effort (example: not writing captions to each picture) compared to my previous posts in order to keep my sanity on track and maintain my motivation to write such posts lol.

Anyways, the location for SSSS.Gridman is based around Tokyo, which is almost similar with my previous take on SSSS.Dynazenon. If you follow the story, Gridman and Dynazenon are both running within parallel universes of the similar environment (this is all explained in the final movie Gridman Universe, I highly recommend to watch if you haven't).

1. Dokushonomori Park 

Dokushonomori park is used for the scene where Rikka met Anti for the first time, and when Anti finally met with Anosillus the 2nd.
