Now, some fans may recognize Gridman’s footage for its adaptation as DIC Productions’ Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad. Where following the broadcast of both productions, the overall series became a cult classic among tokusatu fans. Eventually, Gridman would see a revival in popularity through its anime reboot and sequels in both, SSSS.Gridman and SSSS.Dynazenon. For those unaware, both anime series are available in North America licensed through Funimation Entertainment with English dubs. Thankfully, due to the success of Ultraman’s relaunch in North America, and Gridman’s anime this Blu-Ray set is reality. Hopefully, Gridman will open the door for Tsuburaya Productions’ other series to receive home video releases in North America. Anyway, readers please stay tuned to Hero-Club for more updates on Mill Creek Entertainment’s Ultraman releases and other heroic news.
