Have you seen his show yet?
Obari's magnum opus? Of course I have.
looks kinda gay
>>22760953Not that there's anything wrong with that.

>>22760728I have. It was ga-ga-pi
Bowling ga-pi!!
>>22765726you spelled SRWOGIN wrong
>>22765731I don't really think that's a word.

>>22765966Technically that's still not a word.
>>22765982Also it's usually got a space or colon or something in there.
>>22760728Watched his show a few months ago.
I've been away for a while, has there been any major updates since like, late may?
>>22769818For mecha in general, Grendizer U's premiere last month.
>>22761256Dude. Did we watch the same show? Shit was bara as fuck. NO sissy husbando shit there man. Just pure man on man Van Darkholme shit.
>>22769818update for what?
>>22769818Last big thing was the matsuri event and went extremely well even if people were on edge until the very end. Everyone hoped for something big, but they announced the Round 1 collab (the bowling here >>22764681), the OST release and a comic anthology handled by Kadokawa.This morning was announced a Bravern x Donki collab with the female cast>https://x.com/donki_donki/status/1821381482449092805
>>22760728>Coolest non-preachy LGBT+ show we had in decades>Overshadowed by coomer slop like the "dude what if magical girls had gay sex??" showI'm still upset.
>>22770478>faggots trying to not be insufferable>challenge level: impossible
>>22770478Both things can coexist anon but the comparison is not fair when they come from two different genres and source.original mecha/super robot show are niche if they don't belong to a big household name, like gundam (and even there doesn't translate to instant success) while the other is an adaptation of a ecchi yuri published on a seinen magazine.But as a matter of fact Bravern wasn't overshadowed. On niconico viewers rating Bravern was always on top when it was broadcasting, except for two episodes (8 and 11).
>>22760728Several times. >>22770434>OST releaseFinally!
>>22770500on the event stream they quickly showed the tracklist and the new illustration of the coveron cygames store (purchase bonus is a bromide)>https://cystore.com/products/4570141995696and ppl already found the amazon jp page (the bonus is a mega jacket (24cm x 24cm))>https://www.amazon.co.jp/音楽:渡邊崇、福本雄木-イサミ・アオ-CV-鈴木崚汰/dp/B0DBHJ8PMG/ref=tmm_acd_title_0?_encoding=UTF8&&qid=&&sr=

>>22770774Wrong thread anon >>22766487
>>22770788kek
>>22770478Next time tell them not to release a sequel novel which somehow manages to piss off pretty much all the fans of the different configurations of the main couple.
>>22770864We don't know if it's a legit sequel (more a bridge for the sequel) or non-canon material since the novel ending imply some ambiguity. Anyway the problem was the writing, handled by someone who doesn't write novels but scripts, not shipping. It was a very sad fumble, but no one is perfect.People are still not that cool with it, but after the two dramas that showed more about the big issue in the novel, i think in retrospective many are kind of understanding what he wanted to write.
>>22770788Goteem.
>>22770878What's the problem with the novel?
>>22760728I dropped gayvern
>>22770891The novel is fine. The poor reaction happened because of its staggered rollout and because fans don’t know how to read. For a few days everyone was playing telephone with a small group of loud shippers who made up events that would’ve been bad, if they’d been in the novel. Once most people got their copy and read it for themselves, they realized that nothing those shippers claimed actually happened, and have calmed down for the most part.
>>22770942Wait, I do agree that a lot of people overreacted but the problem with the writing still stands. Why muddle something so straightforward like the ep 9 twist when all the material we got, like the Lulu spin-off, confirms it. >who made up events that would’ve been bad, if they’d been in the novelUh, explain.
>>22770965I don’t think it was muddled at all. I think it treats Bravern=Smith as fact, and expects the readers to do the same, since it’s so clear cut in the show and in the Lulu spinoff. When Smith “talks” with Bravern, it’s not that they’re two separate entities, it’s just two parts of him coming together to make a decision what to do next. Sure, the medium affected what that “looks” like, but I think that a lot of the initial readers didn’t actually think about what they’d read when they started talking about it online, and ended up spreading false info that freaked everyone else out.>Uh, explain.What I saw was people claiming that the ATF being happy when Bravern showed up meant they didn’t care about Smith, that Smith lost his identity and was reduced to a vessel for a parasitic Bravern, that Isami was confirmed to only like Bravern and not Smith. Some more stuff I’m forgetting, probably. Stuff that I agree would’ve been bad, but didn’t happen.
>>22770986Honestly I agree with you that a lot of people, even the ones who strongly believe that Bravern is Smith got effected more by fandom reaction, especially /that/ side of the fandom, than the actual material.But I still think that the writing, especially in the second part was not the best which is why a lot of critiques were about that.but really a lot of comments were very little about shipping and more about the characters aloneThen we can talk about how everyone expected more character introspection since the premise of the first part was implying that. It didn't deliver much aside a little bit on Isami's pov but even there wasn't much.>Smith lost his identity and was reduced to a vessel for a parasitic BravernI'm 50/50 because I kind of understand were this comes from since aside that small part, that was also the second part preview, we don't get to see Smith's pov which imo was a mistake if the previous part you hint with that letter that there is something going on between him and Bravern.When I mean muddled is having for example Isami have doubts about Bravern when 10sec after Smith/Bravern talked to him in episode 12 he was "oh ok, Smith was Bravern all-along. cool" amd at the end of the novel you have Lulu being "Now that you fuse you can't go back as you were" which read as very ambiguous even for native speakers and doesn't even help the ending with the "Really?" at the end.Koyanagi can do his work and don't think what he did was 100% bad but clearly since he has no experience as novel writer the work is not the best. Probably whatever idea he had in mind didn't translate well in the novel format but if was turned into a audio drama, like the one he wrote for the bravern matsuri, probably it wouldn't end up like that.
>>22771013I think we just might have to agree to disagree on this one. I see where you’re coming from, since a lot of this can be vague in isolation, but I think it makes sense in context. Lulu’s line, for example: “they can’t go back” is ambiguous, but less so after reading about Isami trying to “go back” to life as it was before Bravern. He’s considering riding his Rekka, contemplating how lonely his quiet room feels, so when he fuses with Bravern he’s accepting that he can never “go back.”I do agree that Smith POV likely would’ve given more insight. I wonder how much of that is limited by what Koyanagi, Obari, and the rest can say about Smith and how much they have to resort to the 3-shop system. It seems like they’re going to continue using Bravern to show Smith’s feelings towards Isami as long as they keep writing with these characters, whether that is what fans want or notI agree that it would’ve been better received as an audio drama too. The matsuri dramas were well-liked and Koyanagi’s didn’t read too different from the novel to me, and I think the seiyuu contribution made the tone of the whole thing more definitive.
>>22771130In context is not so ambiguous because I understand is meant as "they can't go back to a normal life" since outing Bravern like that means that he exist in the real world. Hal King was trying to keep it hidden for Smith and Isami's sake.Smith (Bravern) is the character with the most insight, you can assume a lot of things just watching the main show without extra content, I don't personally dislike the approach a lot of iconic characters don't have an extensively tl;dr on their thoughts and goals But don't think they are limiting themselves, after all was the Producer who proposed the idea of Smith being Bravern, so I think that they liked the concept enough to build the most important part of the plot around it.But like I said before, we wouldn't have certain discussion (and a lot of distress) if a part of people wasn't so fixated not wanting Bravern to be born from a human and have said human "alive" inside of him and is the actualization of Smith and Isami's union (it's a little detail that is often ignored, i wonder why).He wrote the dream one, funny he decided to write something absolutely inside but the only instance in which you see Bravern/Smith weakness and his fucked up perception of himself.
>>22771162*insane lol
>>22771162> was the Producer who proposed the idea of Smith being BravernDo you have a source? I must’ve missed where this came from.I completely agree though, it seems like the existence of the “Bravern who isn’t Smith” crowd provokes a lot of defensiveness when it comes to people who like the text of the show as-is.Yeah the dream was crazy, it was cool to see both sides of Smith/Bravern’s self-perception play out like that. I’m hoping they’ll expand on that thread a little more if there is more content; I find it really interesting.
>>22771184I remember reading ona fusetter that was talking about Great Mechanics G or Hobby Japan where there was a roundtable between the staff, i can't link you a specific tweet or fusetter because i didn't save it
>>22771216It’s cool, that narrows it down. Thanks!

>>22776462Don't think they need that, but if you are talking about the doujinshi, it's autoproduced and an author never gain any money back, it's an losing investment. Anyway, Bravern merch is selling pretty well, a day ago they announced they gonna resell the Matsuri merch (except for the keychains).>https://cystore.com/blogs/news/2024080902also looking at the cygame store, the OST is ranking 3rd after Uma MusumeAtm fans are asking for the Matsuri to be released as DVD/BD so people could rewatch it.
>>22776569I know, it's just a joke like that myth from Godannar.
>>22776588Joke or not, deep inside I wish he released more of his human art. Why he gave up on that, does he think his style doesn't suit the modern otaku taste or else?The sample he posted of the Bravern OP looks good, even if they are just sketches.
>still no sequel announcement
How many people ITT are gay or female?
>>22778100Why you want to rush things?
>>22778106>>>/soc/
>>22778100Does it need one?
>>22760728this show was such a let down in the 2nd half
>>22778346I'm just curious because some of the posts here sound like they were written by gays or women. It would give me some insight on the demographics of the /m/ Bravern fandom.
>>22779737Obari said that he didn't write with any demographic in mind, it's the work he wanted to do for himself, I remember he answered very dryly when was asked if his work was taking inspiration from x or y work he worked or other mecha works (was one of the first talk shows iirc).In jpn the ratio between male/female fans leans more to the female but no side is more relevant than another, of course the fact that there are a lot of fanart/fic aimed to a certain demographic is not strange and make it feels there are more women than men.
>>22779753Ok, but are you gay or a woman?
>>22779761No.

who's done the best subs?
>>22786090There is a fansub for this show?
>>22787434afaik no? cr picked it up a week late while aniplus asia picked it from the start, you can look at the archive and ppl got the first episode subs from aniplus
>>22760728Yes. The fallout where people were trying to justify that Isami and Smith weren't actually gay was some good mental gymnastics. Well played, show.
>>22787455i just want to avoid crunchyroll
>>22787624Go back to twitter dramafag.
>>22787626SEA subs are usually way, way worse. Because SEAfags have no standards and only pretend to know English.
>>22787626the only crime cr did do was messing up a important dialogue in episode 8 but the rest is average also not using the official romanization names for few characters
>>22787624I think is one of the few instances that no one complained about that. a bunch of retards calling the show queerbait or other shit doesn't really count

Happy birthday to captain Alaka’i and Isami
Anisama stage went smoothlyas both Isami and Smith's VAs started to undress the audience cheered and from the people who went there seems like not just women were impressed but also men

They looked good with their outfit and the sleeveless shirt. They both said that they worked out hard to get in shape (i guess it was less harder for Isami's VA since he was doing that already lol).Anyway, they released the preview of chapter 5 on HJ site>https://hjweb.jp/article/1695240/

The Anthology they announced last month updated their page on Rakuten adding more details>https://books.rakuten.co.jp/rb/17992119/>196 pages>Up-and-coming creators unite with courage! Bang Bravern A!! Isami! Smith! Lulu! Laughter and tears, and what happens after the final episode? The cover illustration is an original drawing by character designer Kamo Kamen!! Participating creators are Kozo Omori, Hiyon Katsuragi, Yutaka Akatsu, PINAKES, Mizuki Sakura, Futarou, domco, and Yuki SakurabaSeems like it's more than just one volume seeing the number in the title.
>>22823225196 pages and 8 artists, 24 pages for each one. Not bad. I read people are fearing an After Story 2.0 but IDK don't think they gonna expand the canon in a similar way, since it's an anthology with different artists. I remember seeing a Spark Kaiser art as one of the previews they showed when they announced the project.
>>22823225those are more artists than were in the original announcement, the new ones mentioned are non-mech artists. >>22823801people getting worried over nothing when it's probably just going to be a cute SOL thing.
>>22824970>twitter dramaIt's funny to call it in that way when it's about people who support the show, especially with their money, since day one>>22824834I agree about them being too defensive but honestly I understand where they come from since the BD didn't cost like 10 bucks. The anthology is not that expensive, and probably will be just fluff material that doesn't influence the actual show.
>>22824834>those are more artists than were in the original announcement, the new ones mentioned are non-mech artiststhis is what was showed during the stream when they announced it

>>22825378Smith isn't gay, he is Isamisexual.
>>22825378She died the moment they merged, it was all Smith. The only things he inherited from her body were the time/space powers. Keep in mind the reason she was attracted to him out every other person on Earth were the hidden feelings he couldn’t tell anyone, as opposed to Bravern who openly expressed those feelings.
Yeah, there are definitely women and homos posting in this thread.
>>22825467Your male lover? Of course you're a bottom.
>>22825378He did not merge, she died. Kunus only cared about Smith not about Isami kek
finally, FINALLY watched the first episode; and what a riot! I'll devour the whole series in pretty short order, I think.
>>22825626Glad you liked it. Enjoy and may the Getter Rays be with you.

>>22760728The worst Obari thing? No, I haven't and I'm not going to. Also, CG mecha is garbage mecha and I'm not fucking watching it.
>>22825626It's all downhill from there.
This show fucking reeks and I hate when shows like this are made because the most insufferable people on the planet turn up to give it grade-a cunnilingus when it's mediocre at best just because they catered to their fetish or they're brain rotted out of their minds and clap because "muh representation" fuck off with this shit we had a big titty mechanic and she barely showed a millimetre of cleavage the fuck happened to you Obari?
>>22831113Wrong thread >>22827696
>>22760728I wanted to because of the girls until I saw what was going on in it. Then I saw Cygames as the makers, and suddenly it all made sense.
>>22835064What's the deal with white Superbia?
>>22835540NTA but if you mean lulu's spin-off in the bravern&isami dead timeline, it's related to the fact that for some reason copies of DDs spawned, but i can't tell you from where because didn't understand that, but they showed Vanitas, Cunus (which is calling for Smith's soul inside Bravern's core) and Bellator (i think they call it like that??) aka white Superbiaif you meant something else, please explain
>>22835889That is what I meant. I had no idea Lulu’s story was getting so crazy.
>>22836726I wish I could understand more about it, there is no proper translation so a lot of what i know it's mtl and fans summaries of each chapters.so far the interesting part is giving more highlight to the rest of the cast, like the other pilots like hibiki or satake, still is unknown what kind of creature are these clones the interesting detail is what i mentioned about smith's soul inside bravern core, even before this lulu recognized what was left of bravern, the torso with the core like we see in episode 11, what's left of smithWhat we know it's just that earth is at peace in the timeline they show us, lulu growing up and all so I'm curious how things will develop with these new details.
>>22837716worded the spoiler part horribly in the last part, she refer to bravern's core as smith

Seems like another anthology popped up, but it's not clear it's the sequel of the one published by Kadokawa or another work under a different publisher, Gakken>https://www.hanmoto.com/bd/isbn/9784056071399>A comic anthology of the original TV anime "Courage Explosion Burn Brave Burn". It features the best comics by 18 manga artists. The cover is by character designer Koichi Motomura, and the frontispiece is by character designer Kamo Kamen and animation director Ryuta Ura.

>>22846130Masahiro Yamane worked on different gundams shows and Brave serie so who knows
I liked it. It was a great homage to the Brave series, and Obari certainly delivered on the quality. Superbia being a Lian reference was kinda disappointing, but it’s nice to see more weapon Mecha.I gotta be honest, though. Burn Bravern is a bit….iffy. I get it’s a reference to Gravion and every leading Brave robot, but the arms missing some of the blue really bugs me. Like Obari gave up halfway through. There’s also the weird time travel mechanic that should’ve been more fleshed out, but I guess side material can cover that.Bravern is handsome, though.
>>22846973>I get it’s a reference to Gravion and every leading Brave robotI wish /m/fags will stop to say this show was an homage to the Brave serie (or a parody, even worse imo) when nothing in the plot or characters dynamic play in that way, especially when the author himself never mentioned Brave or his previous works as reference or homage (and Japanese authors are not shy to declare such thing). It's just bad PR that only exist in the english speaking side of the internet for some reason. I'd prefer people to call it Super Robot Madoka (or Ryuki)ANYWAY, new line stickers>https://x.com/mup_contents/status/1837038990668546296
>>22847736It's more a parody of western action movies than being a mecha parody. And this is was actually talked about since the scriptwriter mentioned being a fan of western movies and Obari wanting to mix real robot, using as inspiration Hollywood action movies, and super robot The only big reference to another japanese show is in the last episode and it's ultraman.

The staff talk show ended, there are reports going around, i'll try post a translated summary (or link a jpn one)>https://x.com/bangbravern/status/1839939988412346654
>>22861429anyway they said that the OST is gonna release on streaming platforms
>>22861429In the second part of the talk they showed preliminary sketches of the main cast, before the official designs were finalized. of course there are no pictures and seems like they don't appear in the setting material collection book, the one released by cygamesisami>17 years old, gives the vibes of a main protagonist>his haircut was similar to captain satake>they showed 6 different headshot with different hairstyles: long hair, ponytail, lulu-like hairstyle, and hairstyle made by lulu (with multiple buns) they say six but these are the only one they mentionsmith>he almost look the same but younger to match isami's age>middle parting haircut>the face looks slightly longer the sideburns are different>in the army, not marines>good looking (they use the term 顔が良い its otaku slang)lulu>nothing different in her face except she looks more serious>a lot of different hairstyles that were also showed in the anime in episode 4leaving the last two points untranslated because i don't get the context>インナーカラーになったのは途中から?>鶏白湯みたいなTシャツ着てませんでした??miyu&hibiki>miyu looks the same, they saw a drawing of her up in a scrunchie, there was also a three-dimensional drawing of her wearing her uniform>hibiki is the same of miyu, her design didn't change much but her original name was akane (read in the file name)>Full-body uniforms of Isami, Hibiki, and SmithIsami and Hibiki are wearing the new uniforms of the JGSDF, and Smith is wearing the Army uniform, not the Marines.source https://x.com/nikutabetai502/status/1839984670949212329
>>22861810They made the right choice aging them up.
Whenever Hawaii became a key part of the setting is when I guess Smith was changed from Army to Marines, as the former doesn't really participate in Pacific exercises, to my knowledge. Was it when Obari was vacationing there a couple years ago?
>>22862013I remember more than once is mentioned that Obari really loves Hawaii, so probably writing down the script with Koyanagi (who is also a military adviser, at least for his previous works for ultraman was also listed as such) they came up with the idea of setting it around the time of RIMPAC. At least I assume, I don't remember in the past they mentioned anything specific.Anyway, some people are already drawing by memory the early draft sketches they saw at the event
>>22862091
At some point they mentioned the content of the Kadokawa Anthology, which explain why was teased this scene >>22825014>In the comics, since the existence of Bravern has been kept secret after the main story (just like after story, it seems that the setting is that Smith and Isami are performing in a two-seater on the Ortos as a propaganda piece to make it seem as though they saved the world.>I thought the exchange of "Let's go, Isami!" and "Yes!" was just an otaku hallucination, but I was wrong...They also showed the cover of the anthology, with Isami and Smith doing a heart with their arms and Lulu on the front. Isami is wearing a white t-shirt, Smith red and Lulu blue.

>>22862272I want that, I want Future Warrior Lulu animated, I want the epilogue animated, I'll take anything. I'd watch a compilation movie so they can touch up the ending.
>>22861810a detail that i completely missed, didn't clarify, is that smith was supposed to be older, 24 year old.Anyway, about the talk show, they talked about interesting stuff, they are very colloquial, people who went there felt like a bar chat so I feel it's bit hard to translateI'll post summaries that the aunties who went there compiled>https://privatter.net/p/11185363>https://fusetter.com/tw/oXgdYWJi#all>https://x.com/kairu_jill_ff14/status/1839858011399176378

Bros, did you get your own sexy Bravern daki?
>>22868488Are these all new interviews? I’m thinking of those tweets where people wonder if there will a collection of the random bits of info that Obari has revealed over the months.
>>22868888Is this official?
>>22868907yes, was sold on cygames shop.>>22868901I collected almost all the interviews (except for the ones on HJ) on paper so I can easily check if there are dupes, but the list is pretty long and features a lot of designers, so who knows.
Is it normal for a show to get this much attention from the staff? Could more animated content be in production/planning?
>>22869070depends, since it's an original production obari was the director who handled the project (with the producer) and hired friends and colleagues i guess you have different kind of mood going on.about the future, no one knows but since bravern i doing better than expected we might hope for something.
>>22869070>>22869074Were there not vague statements of "interest" in adapting one of the side works? I think I recall Obari wanting to animate a flashback of Isami's dead brother specifically. Was there also a tweet where he said they have planned Smith's henshin poses?
>>22869115>flashback of Isami's dead brother specificallyIsami's dead brother is a mistranslation.When asked what kind of childhood Smith and Isami had Obari said that to him Isami seems he was a crybaby and imagined that probably he might had a big brother figure and probably it passed away. But it's not canon, he just gave his how headcanon lol in fact Isami's brother is something that was mentioned once but in other interviews/talks he only stated his desire to make a prequel showing Isami's life before Bravern.Anyway, >https://camos-store.com/collections/bangbravern-teaBravern tea started the orders hours ago and in less than 20min both Isami and Smith's teas went sold out along with the handkerchief and later Satake's tea.The teacup saucer set was restocked once and still available, on twitter was announced that they plan to do a second sale in early November. >https://x.com/Charart11/status/1841679682254864696>Collaboration with Hotel New Otani (Tokyo) has been decided!>Detailed information will be posted on this account on Thursday, October 10th.

I finally decided to watch this series, and I liked it but at the same time it made me sad. Bravern has all the characteristics of being a good series but it exaggerates in the use of tropes of the mecha genre and prefers the use of deus ex machina and nonsense when in reality it doesn't need them since it has basic ideas that if they had been developed with more seriousness and coherence would have resulted in an enjoyable and entertaining series.
>>22872629>this wasn't enjoyable or entertaining because it wasn't seriousWhy are you even in this board.
>>22872629respect your opinion dude, but i'd just say that a mecha, and in this case a super robot, that land on earth to save the day because human military can't fight against an alien invasion as a starting point of the story already acknowledgement the fact that super robots are a deus ex machina in the context of a real robot world. the only thing that defeat a super robot is not another robot but the fact that the feelings between the pilot and robot are not mutual (which is why episode 11 exist).but i think the plot twist in episode 9 kind of defeat the concept of "bravern is a deus ex machina" and re-contextualize the story and show themes.about the "use of nonsense"? idk i'd call it a humor that doesn't involve character being funny just to force you a laugh but bravern saying things that are outlandish as robot and humans reacting to them. there are some funny situations, especially in the early episodes and episode 10 and 11 goes back to that humor to loosen the tension that built up from episode 6 to 9.i think its just a matter of taste so can't judge anyone, this is just my impression.i hope i explained myself well.
>>22871959Glad this looks great since I preordered it a while ago. However, what we really need is similarly scaled Isami figure as well. Gonna be weird having only Bravern.
>>22875140obari didn't know they would release the naked isami, he thought he would get a figma or plamatea lol even if i think that a lulu figure and isami and smith nendos are on the list before than that (i remember them saying while showing bravern nendo prototype that isami and smith were wip)
