Evangelion and Gridman: Shinji Ikari and Akane Shinjo in front of Unit 01
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Neon Genesis Evangelion is a highly unique anime that became a phenomenon, both in Japan and beyond. It inspired a generation of upcoming animators and writers, who then went on to create their own spin on many of the themes and ideas of the series.
Like Evangelion, it can be difficult to discuss SSSS.Gridman without getting into spoiler territory, particularly in the ways that the two are similar. In both series, there's something very clearly wrong with the world, although in SSSS.Gridman only the protagonists seem to notice, as no one else has memory of the changes. Both also see attacks from mysterious monsters that threaten to eliminate the people living there. In SSSS.
While SSSS.Gridman's nominal protagonist Yuta Hibiki does bear a few resemblances to Shinji, such as the fact that only he can operate Gridman, there's another character whose journey is much more like Shinji's: Akane Shinjo, the antagonist of the series. Akane is, like Shinji, rather unhappy with her life, but unlike him, she has fantastic power which allows her to act on her darkest impulses.
Perhaps where the two series are most similar is in their endings, which can be a bit confusing for many fans. While Evangelion's ending was so obtuse as to need End of Evangelion to clarify things, SSSS.Gridman is somewhat clearer. Without getting into spoilers, both series' finales revolve around the mental state of a certain character, and whether the bonds that they've built will be enough to put a stop to the world's problems.
