There's still the other big bulky gagapi robot who was teased last episode. Maybe Superbia and Bravern's fight gets interrupted and they team up to kick his rear end.

Bravern being able to modify the enemy robots to speak japanese is something.

BRAVERN DUBBING PUNCH

With appropriate accents!

I really like how varied everyone's response to Bravern has been, too. The boss is just kind of tired of his bullshit, Isami is going insane, and the grunts are often "Hell yes, we're the heroes, this crazy bullshit is motivational!"

This fuckin' show... goddamn.

I was down for an Obari robot show. Got turned off by how goofy it was in the first episode then somehow it went into goofball overdrive...

It was the diegetic theme song blasting in BRAVERN!'s, uh, cockpit that hooked me. I am here for the ride, where it takes us.

Me, trying to describe this show to a friend: "You see, when a man loves a robot from space, and that robot from space loves another man very much..."

I love how Bravern has projectors on his back to add explosions or giant logos or really just whatever he thinks the scene needs to really pop. He doesn't use them every scene but when he does it's magical.

I dont know if they'd ever dub this show but if they did they'd better make Lulu do beep boop sounds rather than gagapi noises just to keep the joke running.

You could also do a lot of funny things with Bravern's language-dubbing fist.

the pentecostal enabling of the speaking of tongues by braven is because he is the holy spirit. smith wishing to pilot braven but being told he cannot because he is not the chosen one is because he is john the baptist. isami is tortured by bob the cia guy (pontius pilate) despite his innocence because he is the messiah.

superbia is on track to be saul of tarsus but we will see for sure in a week or two

Really amazing how the series nails down the levity after some serious poo poo and vice versa . Just about every episode has something like that. It genuinely dark when Isami is progressively losing his poo poo about not finding a single living person and Smith dejected saying that it really doesn't look like they are going to find anyone. Then surprise lulu.

Every single episode, a masterpiece. I still have no idea what this show is aiming for, but it's doing it perfectly. It's so many things at the same time, while deconstructing all of them.

Sure. Get in the robot, Lulu.

I think at about episode 10 it is revealed that Bravern is a deathdrive and the super robo accoutrements are an elabourate ruse to hide the fact. Isami will brood naked outside the robot this time for a few episodes and CIA-BOB will try to waterboard Bravern.

Cupiridas just wants a really, really big explosion.

With Lewis getting a new multi-seater TS with a red and white color scheme that uses brainwaves to sync the pilots I'm putting my money on time travel. Bravern is Lewis from the future after he and Lulu keep upgrading their machine and this is all stable time loop shenanigans.

Its so great how Smith desperately wants to the the pilot in a Super Robot anime, even willing to settle for being the blue mech rival, but the world seems to want to force him into a real robot. Meanwhile Isami would give anything to be in a serious real robot style setting and instead is stuck as the pilot lf a crazy super robot setting.

Show has turned from depressed Isami therapy to depressed giant robot therapy. Cupiridas and Superbia have some issues.

I lost it at the waterboarding scene. The "Impossible" bit got a pretty good chuckle too. The comedy in this show is really top notch.

Winning the fight by causing an existential crisis. :allears:

Also the enemy Towers not being transports but 3d printers ... hmmmm.

Proof that Bravern is secretly evil: making his 3d printer print out parts on a runner, that sick bastard

Did that robot just blush.

Is it supposed to be Cupiditas or Cupiridas? I see different spellings.

They're fine. They can be a little variable, the ones I've built have designs that their engineering can't quite pull off but I'd put them just under Kotobukiya average and a few steps beneath Bandai average.
