It's been a year since the gritty hard boiled grounded military anime Bang Brave Bang Bravern was announced with this promo art, what did you think of it? Did it live up to your expectations?
>>22903812Ending might have been slightly weak but it's still probably one of my favorite anime ever. Felt tailor made for me and it really was just fantastic save for a meh final episode.
>>22903844>Ending might have been slightly weakWhat would you change or do differently?
Bravern has a marketing collab with Venom: The Last Dance. Somehow, this makes perfect sense.https://x.com/bangbravern/status/1849044357510467809
>>22903877Honestly it's a copout "lame" answer but I definitely would have just made it more "hot blooded"Proper dai-gattai, some burning passion, and most importantly post credits wedding.
>>22903977I don't care about venom but it's hilarious that they found a parallel and went with it for marketing, and had Bravern's seiyuu sing too lol.
>>229038122nd half dropped off so hard
I hope it gets licensed and distributed in the west only so all the supplemental materials are translated and in one place.
>>22904235the complete setting material that was released>https://cystore.com/products/4550621156069?_pos=83&_sid=f8aabb265&_ss=r afaik has minimal text, i only saw the characters profile with their data like the official site so nothing newI think Futabasha mook could be translated because has interviews that sum up things were said on magazines plus new trivia and btsI know that Fubatasha made mooks of other mecha shows in the past, I remember I saw the MSG:Hathaway mook but was that translated?

>>22904721Those would be nice but I was more thinking about all the chapters of Future Warrior Lulu and the epilogue novel.
>>22905075the future warrior lulu is atm free to read on HJ site (last episode should be uploaded this month??), so dunno if in the future they might release a book version. for the BD novel, since it comes with the BD content don't think it will be released out of it, the BD was expensive and you'd piss a lot of people doing that.But looking at >>22904883 there are few stories that are based on the novel premise, but they are still understandable as stand-alone without reading it.
>>22905135>since it comes with the BD content don't think it will be released out of itObviously that’s correct. That’s the reason I said I want this to be licensed in the west, so we have an official English BD release (yes, with a dub too, but that could turn out good if there’s talented people doing it). I was assuming if there were such a release, they’d include other stuff that has come out up until now, such as the Lulu story.
>>22905145>dub>talented peopleit's always the same 3 faces plus some influencers here and there for clout
>>22903877remove the lulu/subperbia romancecall me a beta cuck normie but it felt weird when she called him uncle the whole time
>>22905704It's uncle as in "old man", how new are you anon come on.
>>22905707>crunchyroll translated it to "uncle" since it's more familliar to most viewers>get blindsided by the romance subplotlmao, believablelet's hope the BD has reworked subtitles
>>22905320>>22905145 quality aside there's probably weird stuff with music rights in the way of making a dub since they'd have to dub the op/ed as well (they are "credited" to the characters)
>>22906228Would they have to dub the op and ed? I thought the whole point of doing that was that they didn't have to get actual licensed music for the show.
>>22903977The choice is completely understandable, I mean they also picked Kitaro movie for the same reason, but while Kitaro movie is back in the theaters for the director's cut, Bravern was a tv show and ended months ago... I'm more surprised about this than anything else
Thought it was a wonderful show. It mixed humor and genuine sincerity perfectly, with characters being slapstick prone but the threats and stakes being taken seriously. I liked pretty much every aspect of it, and thought it had a great ending with a lot of heart.Probably the best (new / original) mecha show in years, short as it was.
there seems to be a strange group of people who for some reason never registered any of the sexual content in bravern was supposed to be sexual (“someone couldnt possibly be attracted to men like this!) and then get angry when bravern does…sexy stuff in side contents Like, did they have their eyes closed when Smith and Isami frotted?
>>22906709Is this some stupid twitter drama or what, because none of that ever happened here.
>>22906709There is no need to regurgitate twitter discussion here. >>22906807That’s because it is verbatim someone’s tweet. To be precise, a tweet and its reply.
There is no need to copypaste that kind of thing here, since anons are not here for the drama or other shitThe only interesting thing in the second anthology, published by comic nora(gakken) is the fact that they want to emulate old magazines that featured doujinshi-like comedy and art, in fact anmedia used to have a supplemental issue called paromedia and comic nora had comic pockethere few names in the artist list that were recognized as artist who published in those magazines back in the 90's>https://x.com/kinekofu/status/1849382151562895597Some people out there are mean spirited, even in Japan when usually they seems to not give a fuck, and don't understand how working for a publisher works, don't trust obari enough.
>>22907036>Some people out there are mean spiritedWhy do you say that?
>>22907075because they clutching pearls only because things are going in the way they don't like and bring up things that exist in their heads

The other day there was Rihiro Yamane x Obari talk, there are no summaries or explicit comments on what they talked about, more than one people went there and said that it was prohibited to disclose anything butthe only interesting tidbits worth of reporting here was that the scene of Smith's death by explosion was an homage to Daimajuu Gekitou Hagane no Oni last scene>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fW87LYxzdIA>>22910245Love the big thighs, not an expert on painting but is looks very good with that "used" effect on

Got both mook and setting collection.Don't want to destroy the books, so I can't take share high quality scans, but I can share decent pics if anyone request it (mecha/character etc)Anyway we got confirmed that Smith was 16 when his parents died.

>>22915131from obari on his bsky account:>This jacket was actually something that Smith had prepared for himself and then passed on to Lulu. That's why it's oversized>The Brave Knights' captain's jacket and cap, plus the sunglasses from episode 1. If he had returned safely, the image of Captain Smith would have become a reality...
>>22916496cute
>>22903877Split it into 2 episodes, because the mood swings are jarring and characters behave weird (Isami becoming a ragetard straight from grieving, Superbia dies and Lulu is back to normal too quickly even though she was wailing seconds before etc.).

>>22919176Pretty good anon.
>>22904108dropped off at the second episode and I don't even care about the gay shit
>>22907036>There is no need to copypaste that kind of thing here, since anons are not here for the drama or other shitYou're right. Drama and milk should be posted in the mecha thread on Lolcow Farm.
>>22919071Isami is a soldier, he can't be a crybaby forever.
Wake me up when expanded universe has Shelly and Akira doing hot steamy lesbian sex.

>>22921999the livestreaming started minutes ago, reading from comments >The exclusive purchase bonus is a clear file of the Toyrise Burn Bravern package drawn by the director
>>22923636They just showed the package illustration
Someone compiled a comparison with the other Bravern releases now that Takara Tomy's TOYRISE Bravern is on pre-orderA comment from the person who compiled this comparison>If you pre-order the Takatomi version at Takara Tomy Mall by 13:00 on 11/11, you will receive a package art clear file (originally drawn by the director). If you don't need the clear file, AmiAmi has it at 20% off >Good Smile Burn Dragon is a limited edition, so it may be difficult to get hold of it after its release. If you missed out on Burn Bravern, then you should definitely get the Takatomi version! I've never bought Good Smile's THE GATTAI series, but I have bought Takatomi's TF, so based on that, I think the Takatomi version is stronger. If you want to move it around a lot by transforming and combining, then I recommend the Takatomi version!
So what was green Bravern anyway?
>>22924135Energy saving mode.
>>22924135After his reincarnation that is his body without Isami inside.

anyway on bsky obari stated that the agf illustration was supervised by him. not clear on which extent but since last time was smith&isami tuxedo illustration, i imagine he picked their outfits

>>22931316cute old man
>>22903812Absolute kino. I went into Bravern expecting nothing and walked away with one of the best anime experiences I've ever been on the receiving end. I even managed to convince my usually non-anime friends to give it a try for movie night, and by the end, it was rated a unanimous 10/10.Bravern restored my faith in mecha after years of melodramatic slop. I'm not even afraid to say it's usurped Gurren Lagann as my all-time favorite /m/ anime.
>>22932933>Bravern restored my faith in mecha/m/ is not dead yet.

>>22935959Holy kino
>>22929346so what i gather from this is:>Supreme and Pucca (from Precure AllStars F) are still loved.>People have some degree of shit taste since LA VENAA (Aka: Nokotan) is on the top 10>Satoru and Daifuku were considered runner ups for this poll>Kinnikuman is moe, somehow.>People like Chopper more than any of the women in OP.
>>22903812I got lost on my way to another board and saw this thread. How actually hard boiled and grounded is it? The lead characters aren't teenagers, so that's a plus off the bat. What's the actual vibe of the show? The only mecha stuff I have experience with is, 8th team gundam, patlabor, and like half of code geass (friend made me). Not super into the "baseless drama with oversized super hero fights" that a lot of stuff seems to be.

Bought and read the second anthology.It can be bought digitally on bookwalker>https://bookwalker.jp/def499bfdd-1e18-43b9-90ac-dcc1b059c86b/but you need a vpn to buy itmy quick review is that this is way more tame than the first anthology, it has more humor and surreal situations (that can't be considered canon) but still in line with bravern, if that makes sense lolafaik each submission was supervised by cygames and the lead writeri hope this, like the previous anthology will get a fan translation
>>22903812Does anyone have a guide on drawing Brave robot faces?
>>22916349Cool Gravion cousin
So like is everyone gay in here or is everyone just women?
>>22940695I'm the straightest man alive. I just appreciate kino.
>>22940695No just you.
>>22940467Brave robot faces? You mean Obari style robot, Bravern or Yuusha in general?
>>22940886Transformers started the Yuusha face.
>>22940890If anon meant transformers he would had said that. Anyway the show is not related to Yuusha or Trasformers in any way or form.
>>22935974Indeed.
>>22903877When all seemed lost, would have had the insignias of all the previous Braves from Exkaiser to Layzelber appear one by one and asking the Isami et al the true meaning of courage, firing them up for some reality breaking attack. Happy ending follows.
>>22936958>How actually hard boiled and grounded is it? It is a kind of comic, colorful version of Detonator Orgun.
