 Bang Brave Bang Bravern is an original mecha anime directed by Masami Ōbari and produced at CygamesPictures. Inheriting the title of the classic Brave series of robot shows but taking it into a new tonal direction, Bravern sets itself up as a Hollywood-inspired war drama centered on the rivalry between exuberant american mech pilot Lewis Smith and ice-cool japanese mech pilot Isami Ao, highlighting the human cost and psychological strain of war against an unknown enemy. Then something something they are now in a gay love triangle with a giant alien robot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zkg_03wzNKQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIRO9Hk5ACs Bravern is wild. It's the surprise of the season to me. The 1st 2 episodes thus far released are an absolute ride, and it looks to have a lot to offer for people who are fans of mecha, grand operatic BL, and/or things that are just generally a bit tonally unhinged. Also, I think the girls are cute. Very excited to see where it's going.

For all the fun madcap stuff I'm glad the show takes the time to make the more earnest and serious scenes land too. I liked the little exchange between the Lt. Colonel and the Sgt. Major. But also everyone at the base fussing over Lulu was great

yeah lol congrats Caphi for calling this one after episode 2 it did cash out in a fantastic combination sequence (loved Isami reading his lines off a karaoke prompt is great) so I'm happy about this turn of events also, Lulu is the best

GATOS Y VATOS posted:I agree but at the same time younger people in Japan (and a lot of other Asian countries) often call middle aged men “Uncle”. I’ve often been called that while over there. So I don’t think it was a deliberate incest thing, although, yeah. Ugh.

Show stayed true to itself all the way through the end, a big gay fun nonsense ride. I don't think I'm going to be thinking about it a lot going forward but it was a great experience week to week But yeah, I would have liked it to be twice the length. I know the days of brave robot shows getting 50 eps by default are long behind us, and the mile-a-minute pace is certainly part of its madcap appeal, but it's hard for me to not dream of a version of the show where we actually travel with the sunrise to fight robots around the world, giving us a bit more time to organically develop the relationships and space to give to the side cast. If there's one thing I'm disproportionally annoyed about it's that Akira and Sherry had really cool character designs but then didn't get to like, do anything
