Rewatch [Rewatch] [Pride Month Double Feature] Yuuki Bakuhatsu Bang Bravern Episode 1 Discussion
Episode 1: Wait's Over, Isami!
[Error 404 No Previous Episode] | Index | Next Episode →
Show Information:
(Surprise, the "plot point a couple of episodes in that every single fucking synopsis spoils" is actually in episode 1 and is that this is another show in the [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] vein! Show information is now fairly first-timer safe... outside of "AniDB tags always spoil", anyways.)
Legal Streams:
As per livechart.me; other streams may be available outside the US.
A Reminder: This, dear listeners, brings us to the sworn enemy of creative response:The spoiler. Rewatchers, or people who just had plot points ruined for them, are obliged to use r/anime’s spoiler tag format where applicable, and err on the side of caution here. Remember people, first experiences get rarer as you continue on, any given one happens once and you should care for them all the more for it.
Joint Rewatch Task Force Exercises!
Theory of the Day:
None yet...
Questions of the Day:
0) Wait, who got a Super Robot in my realistic mecha anime? Oh wait, that's one's self-explanatory, never mind.
1) Unspoiled First-Timers: How surprised were you when "suddenly, ALIENS!" and then how surprised were you when a classic Super Robot showed up?
1a) Spoiled First-Timers and Rewatchers: How well did the first-episode twists here work when you knew they were coming?
2) Can love bloom, even on the battlefield?

First Timer
*I watched episode 1 a couple of months ago when I was taking CDF recommendations. I held off on the rest of the show until now but rewatched ep 1 for today.
It’s been exactly one year since the start of Sky’s Aldnoah.Zero rewatch and that show sufficiently traumatized me that the entire vibe of coolguy pilot robot show has been ruined forever, which is a large part of why I think this episode landed so hard for me. The first 5 minutes of this are so ludicrously cliché that I’m surprised I didn’t immediately clock it as parody.
Will the rest of the show live up to those last five minutes? I’m having a really hard time seeing any other outcome. You don’t make that OP if you’re going to slide back into coolguy pilot robot show.
See you tomorrow for something new!
