Japan's anime studios have captured the world's attention. In this program, we go behind the scenes for an in-depth look at the most prominent studios — usually closed to the public — to find out the secrets behind their creativity.

Yuta Hibiki finds himself drawing Gridman, who he seems to have missing memories of. Now in his second year at Tsutsujidai High School, Yuta decides it's time to confess his feelings for Rikka. But their peaceful days would come to a end as Gridman suddenly returns with a warning: "The balance of this world is collapsing."

Yuuta Hibiki wakes up in the room of Rikka Takarada and notices two things: he has no memories, and he can hear a mysterious voice calling his name from a nearby room. On further inspection, he finds a robot—which introduces itself as Hyper Agent Gridman—behind the screen of an old computer. Much to Yuuta's surprise, Rikka cannot hear Gridman, nor can she see the ominous monsters looming over a thick fog as it envelopes the town outside. Another giant monster materializes in the city and proceeds to wreak havoc. Amidst the confusion, Yuuta is once again drawn to the old computer and merges with Gridman. Suddenly, he appears in the middle of the battle and is forced to fight the monster. Together with Rikka and fellow classmate Shou Utsumi, Yuuta forms the "Gridman Alliance" to defeat the monsters plaguing the city and find whoever is responsible for their emergence.

High schooler Yomogi comes across Gauma, a strange drifter claiming to be a Kaiju User. Soon after, a Kaiju attacks, and Gauma summons the giant robot Dynazenon to fight it. Yomogi, his classmate Yume, and local NEET Koyomi are caught in the chaos and join as copilots. Together, they form the Gauma Team. But Kaiju Eugenicists, a secret society of teens with special powers, stand in their way.

22 years ago… A boy, Takeshi Todo, who attempted to take over the world with the devil of the Computer World together. He reformed himself after the battle and now needs the power of the Hyper Agent. Again, the evil is going to appear in the real world. A materialized monster is now approaching! Enter the battle code! The access code is… “GRIDMAN.”

A special video that celebrates forty years of the Transformers saga.
