this guy was in love with another man so much that an alien death god approached him out all billions of humanity cus she thought that it was so hot she wanted him nuked and then after she did he just went B E G O N E in purgatory and killed her soul and stole her corpse
love how if smith simply admired isami as a pilot this should have been a shot of him looking cool in battle. no instead he thinks about how cute he looks drunk.
seeing how sweetly theyre looking at each other here and knowing its confirmed this is timeline zero and also mostly like the worst and most doomed timeline. this scene is moments before horrific disaster.
bravern takes place in the 2030s so smith was not part of the generation that was bullied for liking anime at school. at most went into despair over being the only kid who likes robots in a sea of shounen jump and when people keep calling his gundam stuff "transformers"
the west is still have insecurity discourse whether its okay to still be in a fandom over the age of 30 meanwhile in japan a lot of those doujinshi artists at events are aged 30-40+ lmao
really is so crazy bravern outsold dunmeshi vol 1 by that much in jp yet still crickets in the west over bravern 😭😭 your local anime con will not have bravern stuff in the artist alley
also they confirmed this -is- from the first worldline where bravern didnt exist and it was smith and isami in otros
where is the bravern/zero prequel film!!!!
youre fucking kidding me obari said he wanted smith, isami, and bravern dakimakuras made first but one of the guys on the production development staff was like NO @ him and to make dakis of the girls instead first 😭😭😭
i am literally so ferocious about them its not even funny. they are a set. do NOT SEPARATE THEM EVER. or i will shapeshift into a gorilla and tear up all the walls in the house
obari tweeting “its not over yet” and liking tweets of people going “smiths eyes are green in the end, theres still something going on is there?” ok sir i see you!!!!
every time this person (in the picture) still goes viral years later
i feel an urge to tell everyone i used to be mutuals with them and they unironically would tweet shit like the real reason why char tried to nuke the earth in CCA was cus he had catholic guilt
after reading that obari himself even admitted he was so nervous (but also confident in his vision of what he wanted to put out) before ep 1 bravern aired cus there was the chance bravern would flop with how many odds it had against it, im sooo happy it did as well it did
considering how obari kept saying “i want them to make a bravern plushie” “i want maid bravern” and they keep saying yes to him, maybe when he said “i want a bravern live action stage where they recreate the ed animation exactly and perfectly” might be on the list too
need to give MY two cents on these fits too
1. is the pool ring for lulu?? 😭
2. the water gun has lulu's name and "bang bravern" etched on it?? smithvern made her a custom water gun from build burn like a true home depot dad....
gonna be thinking for a while about obari saying kuro bravern basically would destroy all of humanity but in the end still saves them before he gets nuked and the process of how did smith get to that point, thanks obari
apparently what happened in the detective conan is one of the most popular BL ships got revealed to actually be cousins in canon after 20 years this week LMAOOOOO WHY IS THIS IS SO FUNNY TO ME
ive seen several jp tweets now that are like “i dont think bravern is trying to ‘pander to fujo’ i seriously think the director is just legit attracted to the content in the show himself at this point. hes pandering to himself.” and i agree with all of them lmaooo
for the music section for anime grand pix
bravern's op won first place (2nd is yoasobi's idol and 3rd is jujutsu kaisen's op lol) and 5th place is souen no shozo so it made it -twice- in the list
i wonder what it felt like being an animator for bravern and being explicitly instructed by obari “can you guys animate a boxing scene also can you make them start dry humping each other in the middle of it”
me when i remember bravern's cockpit in the chest area is literally is heart and isami is in his heart and smith's line was translated as "i've always held isami in my heart" Really Makes you Think
the reason why theres sumiisa fanart coming out of smith putting that ankle bracelet on isami is because having one on your left ankle can symbolize marriage
everything really converges and connects in the end <3
i like how aesops creator said he wanted aesop to be young and attractive to defy the stereotype that embalmers are all old grandpas because that means he really sat there like "what if there was an embalmer out there....except he was hot..."
bravern continuation needs to happen because im still so flashbanged over that info they just dropped in one of the magazines this week about isamis upbringing with his older brother wtfffff
bravern is still breaking all kinds of boundaries in the industry post finale. first maid cafe that serves bottles of beer. first desserts buffet thats male hooters.
@arvalis
ai art shills will write you a whole mucho texto essay about how you "dont know how AI works" and the moment you point out "so its still all unethical image scraping in the end?" they're either like "erm thats kinda bad i suppose" or they go full mask off "YEAH AND? WHO CARES?"
vol 1 of his show sold more copies than vol 1 of a studio trigger adapted anime hes really The Super Robot that Could. so proud of him and his huge tits
gonna try and order the BDs for bravern as soon as possible when i have time cus man the staff saying they can only make a s2 or movie for bravern if they get enough financial support…i gotta do my part for peak fiction
cant believe im not hallucinating rn? staff really said what canonically happened after ep 12 is smith/isami/lulu are still together and even vacationing as a family now?
insane how 80% of the “ackshully smith ISNT bravern + smith having feelings for isami isnt true/gross” posts arent even from token homophobic meathead dudes watching bravern
theyre from robogooners still seething over how their “PURE robot x human ship is ruined with flesh!1”
thinking about it smith probably inherited an amount of money after his parents died looking how he seems upper middle class+family veteran benefits+foster benefits. good on him for dropping hundreds of dollars on anime figurines as a coping mechanism instead of substance abuse.
surprisingly umeda sky building also has oshikatsu photo displays for people like me who arent visiting for the purpose of an IRL significant other and just own character goods
thanks for enabling me!
bravern being so sexually unhinged about isami in public literally because hes just that nervous someone is going to take him away from him is so funny. Go ahead and call the cops BITCH Ill Have Sex With Isami
makes me soooo happy bravern was originally gonna get a more sad ending but they changed their mind cus “this is bravern it should get a happy ending” cus smith and isamis love for each other being rewarded makes it all more memorable to me instead of it just ending in tragedy 😭
if you look closer the city in the bg has already been devastated. the TS have already clearly taken a beating including them. already deep on the road to hell they cant return from together but they could still smile because they still had each other until they didnt.
crazy to me how apparently suzuken was the only person on the voice staff who was told from the beginning that smith was bravern
cant imagine what it would have been like to be with all the other seiyuu having to keep his mouth shut until ep 9 cus everyone else had no idea
suzuken really did nail his job cus yeah he also said "i voiced bravern the whole time keeping in mind hes smith" cus yeah!!! when you listen to bravern closely!!! he talks like smith!!! he always did!!!
