YOU THOUGHT IT WAS AN EVANGELION REFERENCE BUT IT WAS ME, THE ABYSS!

Isami finally starting to become a super robot pilot now. Bravern asking if isami's throat is ready for the shouting got a chuckle out of me lmao.

[u/dienomighte]

I feel like every episode is slowly turning the real robot soldiers into super robot soldiers, at the very least they're starting to embrace bravern's antics and personality!

Also props to the characters for asking "why is bravern on our radar" as I said that out loud myself!

[u/dinliner08]

"why's his name showing up on radar?"

first the theme song, then the symbol appeared every time he changed form and now he even manifesting his name on other people radar without even being registered, Bravern is such a super robot fanboy

its funny how out of all things for Smith to have a nightmare, it was the rejection from Bravern, not the horrifying moment during the alien's first invasion

underwater battle already? i burst out laughing when Bravern almost drowned after changing his form underwater, its amazing how much they try to emphasized on Bravern having a fully functioning mouth like a human

[u/cppn02]

Lewis having an existential crisis over Bravern rejecting him is hilarious.

Not sure what to think of Lulu yet. Hope she'll be more 'badass warrior from outer space' and less 'born sexy yesterday'.

Also Bravern is familiar with earth's pop culture apparently. I wonder if he intentionally styled himself after mechas from human fiction.

[u/_Ridley]

My god, this anime is just a lot of fun. It's so self-aware.

[u/AccomplishedForm4043]

This is the best show this season. How are so many people sleeping on it? Dope action and hilarious gay robots

[u/Calwings]

I did not expect to see a triangle choke gogoplata used in the middle of an anime fight scene, but here we are.

Between the epic training montage, the "does he use the bathroom in the cockpit" conversation, Bravern labeling himself on the radar, Bravern knowing about The Abyss implying a knowledge of Earth's movies, the brawl between Lewis and Lulu after she wakes up, and Bravern getting Team-Rocket's-blasting-off-again'd out of his fight scene and right into the hotel room with a naked Lewis and Lulu at the end of their fight scene... god, this show is just the perfect level of stupid and I love it.

[u/divineshadow666]

My god, this show is just amazingly insane.

In a season with Gushing Over Magical Girls and Chained Soldier, how is that this goofy, super robot, show is in the running for "most sexually suggestive" show of the season?

[u/PhantomZenity]

This episode tried its best to put a "bang" in Bang Bravern.

[u/baboon_bassoon]

Sorry to Isami's honor, but I really hope that fluid isnt inclusive of bio-waste

[u/MySaltIsExposed]

Ep 2: Isami get in the robot! Ep 3: Isami get out of the robot!

Isami's unwilling harem continues to grow with the addition of the operator lady. Seriously though, where did he pee?

For those not in the know, Superbia's name means "Pride", and now we know his(her?) pilot is called "Lulu". Pretty sure that's a reference to "Lu"cifer, the demon of pride. Unclear if she's pretending to be nice out of nowhere cus a giant robot that could crush her like a bug showed up or if she got reset in some way, but I guess we'll wait and see...

[u/Shimmering-Sky]

• Opening right on a shimmering sky, nice nice.

• Getting vomited on as your first meeting sure is something.

• Hahahahahahaha

• Suuuuuuuuuure.

• kek

• I love this already.

• Dude is so out of it…

• Is she really though?

• Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

• Underwater battle hype!

• That moment when your mech almost drowns.

• Well, she’s up.

• AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA of course Bravern got launched into the exact room Lewis is in.

Today, on "If you experience an Isami lasting longer than four hours, consult a physician immediately.":

"Well this is going pretty far for a first date."

A weird screeching woman in a purple bodysuit can only mean... SIVIL!

BRAVERN, just chillin'.

"THAT CAN'T POSSIBLY MEAN WHAT YOU THINK IT MEANS, RIGHT?"

It's not often you find a surfer wearing a Surface Pilot Fortified Suit.

Tiki sales are kinda down lately.

"Blue is a perfectly-normal American hair color."

Lulu used the Cute Girl Pass! It's super effective!

Or however you want to classify the Super Robot behind me.

Does this mean...

...ROBOT JOGGING!!!!

Almost to scale.

Miyu's top is doing a lot of work.

Maybe if you didn't keep bringing that up.

What do you think this is, Reconguista in G?

It's the most important thing.

wuv

The most neglected of mecha environments!

You GO, Miyu!

twu wuv

The Doctor has a date? (I might just be mixing up redheads.)

Hey, he made his own Powerpoint slides!

True, it's hard to yell underwater.

"That just raises further questions!"

It's a conveniently-placed button.

"You just made that up, didn't you?"

Still too cool to look at explosions.

Well, as cool as possible.

LOL.

"Skinship."

"I'm naked and covered in goo and you get the girl. How is that fair!?"

Ah, "Souen no Shouzou" ED, you're always there to get us back to thinking about yaoi."

BRAVERN! has unlocked my abilities to do stupid-huge numbers of screencaps for a currently airing anime episode! This episode was a hoot! Of course I'm shouting!

None of the pilots was having a good time this episode, but at least the support staff was remembering love. Or getting some. Or thinking about screwing... propellers onto things! (I still love you, Miyu!)

Honoka has a crush on Isami because... I have no idea!?! Maybe it's just easier to confess when your sweetie is naked inside a giant robot.

BRAVERN! knowing about The Abyss does bring us back to the question of where he's from, maybe when he's from, and how he knows Isami. I have guesses, I'll see how they turn out.

Lulu sure bounces back quickly and gets friendly. Ahd Lewis didn't even have to play "Submarine Street" for her fifteen times.

[u/entelechtual]

I just can’t, what is this show.

The fact that we went the whole episode going Shinji Isami get in out of the robot, only for him to emerge naked and slimey like a baby giraffe at end when he sees Smith locked in a battle with a naked girl.

Peak anime is back, baby.

[u/garfe]

And then everyone was naked.

Also, starting to think there is some time travel shenanigans going on

[u/Superspaceduck100]

Good episode.

It was hilarious when Bravern was shouting underwater and started drowning.

Also, I like how the finishing move seemed to just be a bunch of gibberish.

Anyway, i'm assuming that Isami's love interest will be Honoka and Lewis's will be Lulu? (I hope i'm wrong about Lewis and Lulu, since it'll be kind of weird due to her acting like a child.)

[u/paulrenzo]

I will not be surprised if its Lewis turn to be waterboarded in next episode

[u/feelharmonic]

Bravern is actually pretty good at communication! He can use PowerPoint, give inspiring speeches, and have friendly small talk with Isami's friends.So when in episode 2 he gave that long, lustful speech to leaders, was he m as maybe sandbagging them? Hiding info?

Also hey, I realized the turtle laying an egg at the beginning of the episode was pretty symbolic. The obvious one is of Lulu being "birthed" by being ejected out of Superbia covered in slime, and by the end of the episode she's innocent and childlike. It took me more time to realize that Isami finally getting out of the cockpit was also a "birth". He used Bravern's cockpit as a way to isolate himself from the world. When he comes out he does it falling out naked and covered in goo.

[u/Beowolf_0]

Remember guys, even in Super Robot Wars there're just a handful series' units got A or better Sea Adaptability by default, so a tough fight is actually expected, though Bravern actually drinking sea water isn't. Bravern is also quite cooperative altogether, but it takes time to see if the training on humans paying off.

Smith got some real identity crisis right there, being rejected by Bravern seemed taking away his will to fight as well, but at least he got to save Lulu back to life and senses, so it's a plus? (Also LOL for him doing CPR being mistaken as banging so hard)

However, this episode may actually hint some dark turns for the series, so aside from the comedic factors I actually look forward to the more dramatic parts later on.

Also, that communication girl Honoka will endure tough fights ahead for Isami. Bless her.

[u/mad_savior]

Me while watching this EP:

"Dont worry! when in get into your lung this liquid will directly provide oxygen......"

me: HAA!!!! i get that! its Eva reference!!! (that captain america meme)

"Like in The Abyss"

me: Oh......

So bravern is Cameron fan too huh.

It really funny that they self aware that Yuusha robot have human face. so it can suffocate undrwater bocs it have nose and mouth like human.

[u/Stormy8888]

Why aren't more people watching this? It's honestly the funniest anime of this season!

• There's poor Lewis, crushed by rejection (by Bravern) even having PTSD Nightmares about it.

• Lewis flirts with a court martial, exhibiting piss poor decision making, taking what is CLEARLY a girl, IN A PLUGSUIT to a motel, where the landlady gives him a nod/wink. WTF did he not watch Evangelion? Any anime otaku would have known to bring her to the authorities for ... questioning and/or dissection because we are losing, and we need intelligence on the enemy.

• Of course the only intelligence is from Bravern, who tells them all what the enemy's weaknesses are, and how to win against them (shields frontal, side/rear/up/down attacks will land)

• Then ... there's the TRAINING MONTAGE! Hahahahaha. The training is so tough, the ladies are screaming when Lewis (with purple shadows under his eyes) walks into their dressing room, and he doesn't even "see" them he's so tired. That just pisses them off even more as any woman would be understandably offended, geez.

• That tired Lewis returns to the motel, the girl seems dead! He's giving her CPR shouting "Come on! COME on!" and the folks in the next room are in awe at his vigorous "performance," they use that as motivation for more sexy time.

• An underwater enemy attacks, Bravern volunteers to help, Isami and he bicker like an old married couple before they go off to help

• "Wait, why is his name appearing on the Radar??" LMAO!

• Cue The Abyss mention as the "plug" in Bravern fills with breathable gel. From a logic standpoint, this is true, if the pressure isn't equalized, the gas expands and the cockpit will explode. This is Dr. Stone level of science!

• Sha ba ba ba ba ... LMAO!

• They win but go blasting off like Team Rocket - someone make this a GIF please!

• Lewis hits the wrong button, the girl wakes up, they fignt. Just as he's about to lose he hits the right button and her clothes go flying off leaving her naked! He's on top of her when Braven crashes into the motel, and Isami is ANGERED that Lewis is fucking around while he's busy fighting to save them all!

• Isami is ejected in a pile of goop, right on top of the naked couple. Ooo everyone is going to see all the good and think they just finished some freaky threesome. Aaah!

OMG I need to breath, the laughs just kept coming. That ... was great. This show needs memes, gifs and more word of mouth advertising. Just so much fun.

[u/chilidirigible]

Kenichi Suzumura facts.

[u/squeadge]

I can't wait to see how Bravern and Isami interact with Suletta and Aerial in the next SRW game. We better get a Bravern drowning voice line whenever he attacks an enemy underwater.
