What is SSSS.GRIDMAN about?

SSSS.GRIDMAN is a TV anime series of 12 episodes animated by TRIGGER, based on an original story written for the screen. It aired from October 7, 2018 to December 23, 2018. AniList classifies it as action, mecha and science fiction.

Collaboration with Tsuburaya Productions.

Yuta Hibiki awakens with amnesia and the ability see things that others cannot. He first encounters a Gridman in the reflection of his friend Rikka Takarada's computer and it tells him to "Remember his calling," but Yuta doesn't understand what this means. Later, in the distance, he sees an extremely large monster but it doesn't move. It's only when Yuta gets to school that the two sightings make sense: a monster attacks and the hero Yuta saw in the computer screen pulls him within the computer and transforms Yuta into a giant hero named Gridman.
