Finally have Japanese subs so I can properly yell about this

In ep 12 Lewis says literally the same thing he said in ep 1, only changing 彼/kare (he/him) to 君/kimi (you)!

正真正銘の勇者/shoushinshoumei no yuusha

彼(君)のようになりたかったんだ/kare (kimi) no youni naritakatta nda

I wanted to be like him/you, a real hero.

#bang brave bang bravern #yuuki bakuhatsu bang bravern #bravern spoilers #lewis smith #i've rewatched all episodes before the finale and everything was fresh in mind #and i fucking yelled at the screen 'SHUT UP! T_T' when this happened

[the-unaligned]

TFW you confess your feelings and die in the same episode

I planned on threading in clips from the bad ending timeline in as well but was lazy and forgot

(Bravern fandom on tiktok is still dead so here you go)

#I’m not ready for the finale yall #bang brave bang bravern #bravern #bravern spoilers

This line from Bravern (despite the image of Superbia it's Bravern who's talking, in the bad end; Smith says something similar earlier) is so interesting to me. He's describing courage purely in terms of relationships to other people, even though you'd usually think of it as something you possess entirely within yourself.

In scenes like the first fusion, where Lulu is encouraging Isami to "brave bang", if you view them in isolation, you would think it was about courage as a choice to do things without knowing the outcome for sure, and I think that is true too; but considering that we later learn that Lulu in this scene has returned to ensure that Bravern and Isami don't go off alone and get killed, it might not be so different from Smith's meaning after all.

Lulu, of course, has jumped back in time from a future where Bravern and Isami saved the world at the cost of their own lives; she talks about becoming a hero who saves them, even though it means giving up (at least for herself?) a future of certain victory.

And when Smith died, it wasn't for the sake of saving the world that he refused to accept it. The thought that successfully brought him across time and death was simply: I made a promise to him.

(shameless plug: for more on this, I wrote a fic about it)

I don't know what's going to happen in the final episode. But if we're "meeting true bravery", I think it's going to be more about the people you love than about victory in battle.

(I'm still not sure what I make of about the focus on waiting specifically though. Being patient and having faith that they'll meet you where you're both going, like Isami eventually does? Bravern waiting for the moment to tell Isami how he feels? It's an interesting choice for a story that goes so quickly!)

#bravern #bbbb #will we ever truly understand what “brave bang” is though #there's a lot to say about isami's path through this story too but the finale is in 15 hours and I have not prepared that post soooo #instead have smith tiddy

GAGAPIIIIII

Quick someone teach Lulu to dab before Lewis gets back as a super cool amnesiac anti-hero

#it'll be funny i swear #bang brave bang bravern #bravern #yuuki bakuhatsu bang bravern #lulu #baxxes binted #my art #lulu will never die #anyway guess who finally watched ep 8 and cried about it #bravern spoilers #spoilers

my like. Actual Serious Thoughts now that it’s been a few days since ep2 is that. bravern is going for camp, and to play up aspects of the super robot genre (called attacks, powerups, endless optimism, hot-blooded manly affection/rivalry, mechs that care for their pilots) and that obviously frames them in a humorous way juxtaposed in a real robot setting. and i definitely get why people are afraid of it turning mean about any of those things, and i also very much hope it doesn’t!! i think there will likely have to be allowances on both sides of the equation, but since it’s reading imo as camp rather than HAHA isn’t it STUPID to CALL ATTACKS atm that the allowances will be both “sides” learning to work together, i.e. bravern perhaps not coming onto isami So Strong but also the military aspect not being like Big Unknown Robot Bad >:( like bravern is the one winning the battles rn!!! it’s still following super robot rules even if it’s also acknowledging how silly they can be, which gives me hope!!

however my sillier thought is that. for as much as non-mecha fans like to say THIS show is SPECIAL because it’s about the PEOPLE instead of the ROBOTS, i think that a better sign of a good mecha is when the robot has captured the hearts of its fans and there is significant mecha fanart too. and so in this respect bravern is peak LMAO

#again as per usual i could be way off the mark and this could suck #but i like it a lot so far and i hope it doesn’t :) #maybe it will finally get me to finish ggg while i’m waiting between episode drops LMAO. #a: bravern #t.bbbb #bravern spoilers

[aecho-again]

Oh wow, he understands the importance of giving credit where credit is due and doesn't boast about his powers or Isami for once

#bang brave bang bravern #it's not exactly character growth but it's nice to see this change in demeanor regardless #not exactly spoilers but #spoilers #also i'm repeating myself but i like superbias design #it finally speaks! yay! i've been waiting for a giant robot to giant robot conversation #bravern had a whole exkaiser style “even the enemy's life is important” moment

#remibloggue #bravern spoilers #bang brave bang bravern #what a nice finale. i smiled the whole way through. #bingo attempt failed utterly though #arthropods

[ruethos]

Bravern really is a show that should have 24 episodes instead of 12.

#Kassandra talks like someone's listening #I like what we got and I'm excited for the finale #BUT! BUT! I need. More of these characters #I would love to have more time to really flesh everyone out. Show more of a gradual change in Isami's feelings towards Bravern #get more of the side characters #Get more of Bravern being absolutely head over heels In Love with Isami #I just want More. But i'm not surprised we won't get any #Kassandra watches tv #I'm not liveblogging Bravern but i'll put it in the liveblogging tag

#post bravern finale checkup on the gay people in my phone

[unhinged-comics-scree]

Hi the people who said Bravern tricks fujos into mecha anime. I am learning that entire 50 episode seasons of Gundam are available just. On Youtube. Also Adam Savage has a video where he marvels at Gunpla building. And you can get them at Target and Barnes and Noble and and adn

#I'm not going to make another sideblog I promise #I did take tomorrow off though so I might finally do a bravern final ep/series thoughts post
