One dedicated fan of SSSS.Gridman has realized that the show pays tribute to several other mecha anime and TV shows, additionally creating a video comparing all the scenes and bound to have many surprised at the similarities.
The 2-minute video revealing that SSSS.Gridman has paid tribute to shows such as Ultraman:
Considering the entire thing is the dream of a mecha aficionado, everything makes sense.
Literally what the show is about…
Honestly, most of these comparisons are so superficial, you might as well do it convincingly between any two animes. Some of them are straight tropes or even animation techniques.
people who likes the show: “pays tribute”
people who don’t like it: “plagiarizes”
wtf .. bible black .. oh now they got me triggered :^)
