I was enjoying the hell out of this until the last couple of minutes when it suddenly went all cliche super robot on me. It's like it hit me with every generic mecha trope at me in 3 short minutes. Mecha with swords making fancy poses and the like. Have a feeling its more down hill from here.

If liking lolicon makes me a pedo, not liking ecchi makes you a faggot

First 90% of the episode was gritty and realistic, and then it turned into an absolute cheesefest. Amazing :D

I'm sorry, but did the mech sing it's own theme song or was it my imagination? I can't. Nope.
@dragynfaerie Lol, that was my favorite part, then when the MC dude was like “WTF is this song?!” 😂
“SAITO! YOU NEED TO EXPLODE! FOR THE WORLD’S SAKE!”

@gappasaurus My favorite part was when the MC went to pull that lever and he was like no we're not there yet. I think he almost ejected himself.

I had figured it was going to be super robot in nature from the title, but that had slipped my mind when all the fighting with the US army/JSDF/aliens was going on. I was so shocked when the super robot showed up and started blasting the theme song lmao what a tonal shift. Really fun!

Ok. My predictions for how well something is recieved are totally off - as usual. No synopsis, "American Hero Style", Alien Thread and something serious being taken... not very serious. This is essentially The Marginal Service with a taking Gundam. So I expected something with 40% dislike and a score of 4.8 - 5.2.

Anyway - regarding the show itself, I'm not quite sold yet. It was slow, but promising until the talking Gundam showed up. Because that thing did NOT fit the dark, apocalyptic atmosphere established before.

I hope next episode will get a grip on the genre and pull this show in a good, or at least fixed direction.

@TheRedComment absolutely heroic characters can fit in grim militaristic settings. Bravern seems to lend itself to being like an Ultraman story. Especially since i think some staff in ultramanb blazar is working on Bravern as well. The hero super robot mecha juxtaposing the grim military tone and setting practically makes an entire story about some foreign entity bestowing their power and passion towards a form of humanity society that may be deemed as inferior.

Bravern IS taking from Ultraman

This is classic giant robot cheese in the most glorious way possible.

If it had been yet another 14 year old stuffed in a robot it would have been a yawn and drop, but serious military man Isami going 'wtf is that song?' completely sold me. hahahahaha

What the heck, hahaha. It's so ridiculous and immature that it put a huge grin on my face. I am a huge fan of Tekkaman Blade which came from the same director, and this anime feels like a full-blown parody of Tekkaman Blade.

I was loving this until, braven showed up and the sound track and the atmosphere became something else, giving me power ranger like comparison.
Not sure I'll continue episode 2

An anime about a real robot setting having a super robot coming out of nowhere fighting with a giant sword and intradiegetic catchy song was something I always wanted without daring to ask

So my kid made me watch this, and as a mecha fan I was all "okay".

It starts out with the predictable war games. Then friendly rivalry with Lewis (or as my kid says, "D cups") telling Isami they need to have a rematch. I tell my kid I hope at some stage Lewis loses his shirt. (This happens in Episode 2 at the ED when my kid says "your wish is granted."

Then a super robot comes out, He's got his own theme song and moves and is all bright and shiny plus he really REALLY wants Isami to "get in" the cockpit.

LMAO, I think I spent the rest of the episode laughing!

Hoping this keeps up so I can make it a weekly watch.

This first episode was such a rollercoaster. I had zero expectations because of that ridiculous name, but then it started out really grounded and mature. Some sort of conflict rising up was inevitable but aliens? Well, I guess aliens are as good an enemy as any other choice so whatever. Then comes a random Gundam out of nowhere to save the day, completely throwing any of the built up tension out the window with that completely ridiculous song playing - not only as bgm but seemingly 'in universe' too. I wish the first 18 minutes hadn't been as promising, because this turned out to be the joke I expected from the title and there's no reason to give hope for a serious show for 18 minutes prior.

That held onto reality longer than expected. Man, the synopsis doesn't hint at ANY possible craziness! I totally woulda passed on this show if it weren't for some goofy screen shots and people talking about the trailer being misleading hahaha :)

Almost the whole episode, I was worried this was gonna be a super, serious war drama and that I put on the wrong show. Then the robot playing it's own background music showed up XD I'm super down for this shit B)

First off let me say that the animation is decent, better than some of the much more popular anime this season. As for the plot... it is strange but pleasant imo, the sudden attack of aliens and the arrival of a talking robot that plays happy music on the battlefield where people were massacred was so random XD

Pretty fun start, it's all training until the attack is real, I like the military settings, it makes me think about a kind of Starship Troopers x 80s mecha
