Marty subbing toku... who would have thought?
(This won't be the last time, but that's another story for another time)

I had heard for a while that the live-action Gridman show has... really bad official English subs. Matter of fact, Gridman was one of those shows that I wanted to check out eventually but the lack of an actual good-quality release resulted in me putting a low priority on checking it out.

It seemed like someone was going to scrub the subs years ago, but only episode 1 was put out and the project got dropped afterwards for some unknown reason I don't know of—despite the subber still being active nowadays...

I randomly got the urge to check out Episode 1 many months ago, and... despite the somewhat dated production values, I really liked it! It's got an interesting premise and I enjoyed the idea of having cyber heroes fight off villains looking to wreck the real world via "digital" means. And so—seeing how nobody else was seemingly going to fix up the subs any time soon...

I decided to do it myself :)

Episodes 01 ~ 03 are the /m/subs release, but with various lines tweaked & re-timed here and there. Episodes 04 & 05 are translated from scratch by Yume—and the rest of the show, going forward, will be TL'ed from the ground up too.

The show is currently translated up to episode 9—more & more episodes will be translated in the following months, but they will still need to be edited by me. The plan after this release was to upload the remaining episodes one by one (and do batch releases later), but maybe I might just do batches of five instead like with today's release. This is subject to change though, it's not final!

That said, enjoy these subs. They're a huge improvement over the official Mill Creek release and really deserve this treatment!
