It doesn't look amazing, it's not particularly funny, and the more ambitious plotlines of the second season have really shined a spotlight on the author's weaknesses, but it's still disarmingly sincere and well-observed.

There's a bit in Bravern where the grunt squad blasts a bad guy and one of the characters goes "that was waaaay too easy, is this one of those moments where someone says "IMPOSSIBLE!"?" And then the bad guy steps out of the big explosion completely unharmed and it smash cuts to the admiral saying "IMPOSSIBLE" in the most serious possible way.

To the extent that it's a class, Bravern is very much the one that rides on its vibes. Bravern is about the imposition of genre values. Bravern himself is pretty much overtly powered by Braves vibes, and it works because the enemies themselves are overtly powered by depression vibes. Everyone else simply has to wrap their heads around the new rules. Samflam is about the imposition of genre outcomes. The mechanics of a hero show are falling down over the heads of people who were either not prepared for it or are beholden to assumptions about it that don't hold. Those who have internalized the genre assumptions are forced to figure out how they can put them into practice from scratch. Gridman is about the imposition of genre imagery. When you break it down, it's basically just a "monsters as metaphors for anxiety and growth" play, with really good production decisions and execution. Gridman himself barely even does anything narratively. Material consequences, outside the thematic problems of resetting and stasis, are not really what anyone is interested in, in contrast to both Bravern and Samflam, which ask, in different ways, how far its protagonist is willing to go in the face of real horrors.

symbolic posted:it being borne of bad association is partly the case (as evidenced by a couple posts upthread) but it's also that it personally just hits an uncanny valley for me, who didnt get weened on like, Vocaloid, and whose only exposure to 3D anime stuff is HnK (very good), sequences in Zombieland Saga (ehhh), and the brief uses of it in Do It Yourself!! (very bad). i'm still going to check out GBC, it might just take a bit longer for me to ease into it based on that style but i have no preconceived notion about it being bad. if anything, watching the PV once or twice more made me more hopeful now noticing how fluid the more dynamic animations are

I think some people also view 3D animation as inherently trying to displace 2D due to how things have largely played out with theatrical animation in America when that's not really the case with anime. There's cases of schools of 2D anime dying off (mechanical animation for instance), but that's mostly tied to the industry's own issues with drawing and training talent.

Big Leg posted:there's always the lingering sense that their reality is strangely artificial and childish (although i'm guessing bravern might not be as literal in that regard). like there's a scene in bravern where the two main dudes are boxing out their emotions and bravern hangs a boom mic over them lol cool, it’s now on the list

how yall gonna talk about 3D anime and not mention Trigun Stampede I know Lustrous is the same folks and arguably more... Ambitious? Interesting? Visually, because of it's unique subject matter, but Stampede was the first CG TV anime that I never once questioned the aesthetic of even a little. Orange is in a class of their own. That poo poo looked better than a lot of big budget CG movies, frankly.

My personal pitch is that Bravern isn't like Gridman at all because because I was frustrated and disappointed by Gridman and I like Bravern.
