So Bravern has dropped all pretenses and innuendo at this point, I'm just watching a gay robot show without any layers of irony separating me from it. Very impressive how Bravern very slowly pulled me out into deeper and deeper waters.

The best parts of Twin Peaks were when it randomly decided to hit you w/ extremely beautiful and tender scenes out of nowhere with a character you wouldn't expect. This is my personal favorite example:

People have noticed the engrish in Bravern, but I don't think it gets enough credit for just how good it is. The intonation and timing is almost completely correct here.

Like how GaoGaiGar is gradually accumulating tools over the course of the series. He's like Batman. Actually, now that I think about it, he has a bat signal too. I also like that there's a logical progression: They introduce the Goldion Hammer, but it's dangerous to use...

Turn A Gundam really tapped into a unique feeling of dread with this episode. Watching people who don't know what nukes are handle armed nukes is like watching a toddler play with a blowtorch. Sort of reminds me of a similar scene from X where Garrod sets off a nuclear meltdown

Lulu beating the ever loving shit out of Isami at every opportunity is one of my favorite jokes in Bravern. She literally travelled back to the past, and she immediately choked him out, just for old time's sake.

The final fight in GaoGaiGar actually felt smaller in scale than the one on Jupiter, but I think that actually worked to its benefit. It felt brutal and personal, with GaoGaiGar and Zonuda just tearing each other apart.

Ep 9 of Bravern was the most batshit episode of TV anime I have seen in a while. It had no jokes, the ridiculousness was played completely straight. I am not joking when I say there are multiple parts that evoked a genuine emotional response from me. This scene gave me chills.

So. I finished Betterman. Bit of a wild ride, and the finale definitely went to some dark places. It almost bordered on nihilism at some points, but the larger themes of birth and death being a necessary part of evolution - and a necessary part of life.

Goldymarg truly is the most based character in GaoGaiGar. Regardless of the situation, his immediate solution is to punch his way out of it. People could stand to learn from his example. "Have you lost your mind?" He never had it in the first place, get sucked bozo.
