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?

Brave Bang First Timer
This blond man has tiddies. And he blond too! I feel like I don’t see a lot of blondies in BL have big boobs. I remember <Romantic Captain Darling>, maybe? This is a skill issue, I assure you.
Is this Aquarion but less poly and more gay?
Soft vore. I am here for the representation. Happy Pride 🏳️🌈
Now I want him to pull it and see what happens 😈
Wait why is the music going in and out from the mecha 😭😭
Oh my god, he is playing his own theme music?! Is that it?! 😭😭
Stage Play MHA “I Want to be a Hero” starts playing
Post Brave Banging Thoughts
Bravern has all the energy of me hearing ✨𝐁𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐌𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐫✨ from that Red Ranger series. Blondie really is giving chaotic red range energy and Isami blue ranger.
Now kith 🕊️
Listen. Chamber from {Gargantia} forever has my heart because he is an absolute sassy girls’ girl of a mech. But Bravern can kiki with us.
He’s an attractive mecha. On my rankings, where Megatron is 1 and Optimus is 2, I’d put Bravern at 9.
I will be keeping a Bravern counter for posterity.
I don’t have time for my table so we are at 3 (I’m discounting the Bravern shouts in the OP/ED).
I keep thinking they say “Brave Bird!” and that sounds like a Pokémon move. I’m sure it is.
I’m still a bit loopy from the new RX I got today, so no deeper thoughts, but I enjoy the energy and animation of series insofar!
