Other News

I really want to end with this piece of news because it is so random and wonderful. The のワの Tumblr by sushiobunny details the connection between the new SSSS Gridman anime and a previously posted Twitter Yuri novella by director Amemiya Akira, called The Uniform from a School I Don’t Recognize (私の知らない他校の制服). Furthermore, the credits  for episode 3 of SSSS Gridman confirm that the characters are, in fact the same ones from the Yuri novella. And JP blogs have picked up on it now. Fans (including me!) are loving the idea that the director has inserted their original characters into this anime, because why not? ^_^
