Masami Obari is one of the most influential talent in Mecha Genre and there was a period of time the man tried to make a name for himself by making his own anime series. Among his original works, Choujushin Gravion is arguably one of the Obari's works that are easier to get into. Gravion is essentially the culmination of Obari's experience handling Yuusha series. Overall Gravion is pretty much a Generic Super Robot series as it can get, excelling in Styles but lacks in substance which had been Obari's most glaring flaw.
The first time i was exposed to Gravion was from SRW Z which is more than a decade ago and to be honest SRW had better opportunity to make the series shine compared to the anime. Several things that are unexpected for me with Gravion Anime series are that Gravion's Final Form only show up for few minutes in the last episode and The main protagonist's elder sister relationship with Sandman.
In any case Gravion is still a fun ride if you look for mindless Super Robot action and its lackluster storyline is still better than Gridman.
