I really liked Gridman, so Dynazenon was already something I've been looking forward to since it was announced, plus the joy of expanding the SSSS franchise. And I will definitely follow future projects.

The story follows a structure similar to that of Gridman, having the slice-of-life side and a fight with a Kaiju, in the classic style of Tokusatsus.
As the synopsis says, the story begins when the main characters end up getting involved with Gauma in the fight against kaijus, basically because they are in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Gauma, Yomogi, Yume, Koyomi and Chise don't have many things in common as they got together by chance, which makes it interesting how their relationship develops and creates a bond between them. As well as the development of the individual relationship between them, as well as their own personal development.

I liked the villains too, since and many moments, we see scenes between them, which make you have a certain sympathy with them. We see that they and Gauma have a relationship, which is revealed later on.

The fights are very well done, along with the score, I believe the battle formula at the end of the episode works well. Reminds me of when I was younger and watched I used to see Tokusatsu, and it brings me a certain nostalgia. Based on some comments I've seen discussions, I know some don't like this format, as it gets repetitive, but I believe it worked well in both Gridman and Dynazenon, maybe it's not the binge-watch anime, but it works great watching weekly.
I don't want to summarize the series, but I need to comment on the story, especially about the growth of each one. For me, Yume was one of the ones that most caught my attention in this aspect, in relation to her sister, and how Dynazenon and the others managed to change her, and her journey to understand what happened to her sister. Especially the contrast created by the first impression we have of her when she calls Yomogi and doesn't appear towards the end of the anime, where we see the difference. And how Yomogi is willing to accompany Yume on her journey, and how he cares for her.
Koyomi and Chise are also interesting cases, Koyomi being a 33-year-old NEET, gradually changing, overcoming the past and in the end we see him looking for a job trying to reintegrate into society, as well as Chise, who despite apparently not having returned. school seems to be better at it than at the beginning of the series.

Dynazenon is a work that divides opinions (at least, among those I know), but if you liked Gridman, I recommend it. It may not be perfect, but without a doubt it has its value and is worth being seen.
