>has two insta-win nuclear cannons
>uses hands instead just to send a message
Garrod is so underrated honestly

>>22607839
I love it when Gundams just punch each other

>>22607839
The charge of time is a bit of a weakness.

>>22607839
Would Garrod fare in a Gundam Fight of G Gundam?

>>22614583
the video literally has Garrod shake off the Frost bros first, taking them by surprise with Double X's performance to charge up before they can no longer approach.
Meanwhile the space fight has them in more even machines, can't expect them to just hang back after getting kicked if you start charging the cannons.
And yeah he was pissed off.

>>22614583
Why didn’t they just destroy the satellites? Are they stupid?

>>22614583
>Nearly 20 seconds to fire
>Not a problem

>>22614671
Never watched anime before?
Anime's time doesn't flow realistically for dramatic effects

>>22614662
The moon base is guarded with 20 G-bits all carrying satellite Cannons.
Going near them is suicide

>>22607839
That's not how thrusters work in space. The boosting Gundam would just drag the mobile suit holding on to it. It wouldn't "yank" free.

No wonder Gundam X was cancelled.

^ that's why it's called "science fiction", retarDuel

>>22614764
Frieza realized he was wrong about the time during the fight because he missed the core of the planet. The fight wasn't long in the manga, the anime dragged it out. IIRC, it takes like 5 chapters after he says that for the fight to end. The DX has to contact the moon and wait for the laser to reach it. It taking 20 seconds isn't out of the question.

>>22614779
the anime and manual both stated that it takes only 4.03 seconds to charge the DX too.

Also, episode 34 had the DX shooting 3 shots with a single charge.

>>22614770
The thruster exhaust literally pushed the holding Gundumb away
Your birth was cancelled halfway

>>22614583
That fire barrier is cool as heck
Wish it was used more

>>22614662
They did destroy the Satellite that hovered around Earth and allowed charging the Satellite Cannon at any time. But the actual moon base is guarded by the DOME controlled Bit Mobile Suits and pretty much impregnable.

>>22614802
There's no air in space to do any pushing.

>>22615469
which is why the thrusters blow him away even harder since theres no air in the way

>>22614770
Actually, that is how thrusters work in space. Any energy released against a surface will push that surface away from it based on the velocity of the initial acceleration. Ashtaron will be moving in the exact opposite direction at the same speed as DX moving away until DXs acceleration exceeds the shared velocity at the moment of separation.
Virsago is the one where everything fucks up because Virsago didn't utilize any corrective propulsion. Virsago is the one that should have been taken for a ride.
That means that both you, and Gundam X, are retarded.

>>22614764
It actually is a problem as we see in the fight against the Correl. The Double X gets dominated by fast suits.

>>22615504
>Ashtaron will be moving in the exact opposite direction
Except it isn't.

>>22615867
By "fast suit" you mean the fastest prototype in the setting that sacrificed all armor for speed, while also having an extremely strong beam knife that did more damage than beam sabers/rifles of other suits to the DX.

>>22615469
Rockets exhaust tens of thousands of pounds of gas at hypersonic velocities. It's going to push things away whether it's in space or not

>>22615871
If Garod's enemies could hit their shots the correl wouldn't be needed. It's not faster than beams.

>extremely strong beam knife
It's literally just a depowered beam saber. Gundam X suffers from enemies being dumb and bad at piloting more than any other gundam instead of just inventing some crazy armor to defend the main cast.

>>22615870
Huh? Check the scene again, it IS going backwards, not just standing in place, unlike the Virsago.

>Virsago is the one where everything fucks up because Virsago didn't utilize any corrective propulsion. Virsago is the one that should have been taken for a ride.

Virsago was just going to fire at point blank on the DX, it wasn't really trying to hold it. It seems to just give up on that when the DX is set free.

>>22615876
>If Garod's enemies could hit their shots the correl wouldn't be needed. It's not faster than beams.
The DX is hit often. It takes beam rifles and even sabers while just getting knocked around with little damage. It took sustained beam shots from the Bertigo's funnels to damage the original X which had weaker armor. The Correl is the only time a beam weapon slices through X's version of Lunar Titanium like it were butter.

>>22607839
Thanks to that the Frost faggots are still alive and causing trouble years after the end of the show.

>>22615882
I really hope if they go forward with that sequel during the upcoming anniversary they don't make the Frosts the main villains again. It'd be so lame to make them the only people that make the setting move. It's also bizarre they're still even part of the NUNE forces after what they pulled in the finale.

>>22615867
>Correl
Even Frosties sounded so afraid of it because it IS the fastest suit in AW timeline.
Remember how two entire armies shat themselves when they saw the satellite link in episode 38 and quickly retreated from the range?

Funny enough, in the manga, Garrod defeated Correl and the other Psychos with Satellite Cannon. it didn't need the vulcans

>>22615940
Wait, that's the Gable doing some long jump/flight?! I guess it's technically not impossible considering the low weight of everything X related, but it's still a bizarre sight.

>>22615955
probably has lots of thrusters

>>22615459
>They did destroy the Satellite that hovered around Earth and allowed charging the Satellite Cannon at any time
when did that happen?

>>22616056
That was something that happened offscreen before the start of the show.

The premise of the "Under the Moonlight" manga was that one of the satellites in that network turns out to only be damaged and knocked offline, and 9 years after the events of the TV series that surviving satellite has been repaired and converted into a satellite to provide power for the humans on Earth rebuilding their cities. However it also still functions as part of the GX satellite cannon power system and responds to satellite cannon systems requesting energy.

>>22616056
>>22616187
The relay station stuff was mentioned in the old official Gundam X site they created for the DVD release. But, yeah, I don't think they ever talk about it in the show itself.

>>22616187
>>22616243
damn, TSC during daytime could be cool

>>22616243
IIRC they do briefly refer the lack of the relay system in the early episodes to explain why it only works when the moon is visible

>>22616298
I don't remember if the show does, but you don't think the Moon's only visible at night, right?

>>22616466
>>22616298
They do show the moon visible with the skies still blue in the Gable episode, although they decide against using the Satellite Cannon anyway.

>>22617863
Ideon = lost the entire ending, that became exclusive to a movie.
Layzner = lost the entire ending. even the 3rd OVA didn't cover the whole ending and left 2-3 arcs uncovered.
0079 = lost the original ending and was going to cut abruptly until Tomino and his team begged Sunrise to get 4 more episodes just to make a new ending to wrap things up
X = actually finished the story. the only thing it lost is Ennil's Gundam and DX's extra weapons

learn the difference, kid

>>22617866
the only things that we know of. It's not exactly a secret the entire space arc was rushed and was missing ten episodes worth of material and character growth. But despite that the show did stick the landing perfectly well and can be considered complete and finished as it was intended to be.

>>22617893
I think they cut things that aren't significant to the story like all the action scenes of G-Falcon with Leopard/Airmaster and Frost Brothers getting their upgrade Gundams.
They also wanted to make Amuro's VA be the voice for D.O.M.E but this was scrapped as well.

>>22615878
>Bertigo's Funnels
In universe I just always assumed Gundam X had made anti-beam coating reliable and incredibly easy to mass-produce. It is after the 7th space war after all.
Out of universe its the same team who did Gundam Wing so they're used to drawing Gundams that never get hurt by beams lmao

>>22617899
I dunno, I think Satyricon for example would have had a bigger role to play. At least bigger than getting wiped out 15 after they're introduced. By extension giving Pala more screen time and development, seeing how she's meant to be part of the "new generation" kids with Garrod, Tiffa, Carris. And Kid. Kinda?

>>22614779
>he missed the core of the planet.
He destroyed the core, the problem was he held back because he didn't want to blow up the planet whole sale and risk getting killed in the blast.

>>22612951
they should have rocket punches honestly, fuck this distinction of real and super let me do awesome super moves in gundam games too

>>22623899
wasn't there a suit in Turn A that had a rocket punch? or was it G-Reco?

>>22625093
Turn-A specifically Corin Nanders Kapool

>>22623899
Honestly you could probably handwave the realism in a show by having it happen during a desperate situation and the pilot jury rigs some technobabble thing to rocket one of the MS's hands out. It'd end up inexplicably being one of the ultimate attacks in SRW like how Waverider Crash is almost always the Zeta's, even though it really shouldn't be stronger than anything involving beams.

>>22623899
Neue Ziel does exactly this. So can the Zeong. It just so happens that the guns in those hands tend to be better than slamming your machinery with relatively delicate controls and (more importantly) a fucking fuel source onboard that could potentially explode.

>>22607839

Those two asswipe brothers should have died, that was the saltiest part about the ending for me.

>>22623899
>>22626821
Just do it like Victory Gundam with its legs, they launch their fist and HQ sends them a new one in the air.

>>22627601
Yeah, as much as I love Gundam X, i didn't like how it made everyone in the main cast survive the war.

>>22626821
>Honestly you could probably handwave the realism in a show by having it happen during a desperate situation and the pilot jury rigs some technobabble thing to rocket one of the MS's hands out.
that exact thing happened in a western mech show

>>22626821
The Doven Wolf and Silver Bullet could do it.


Sunrise Robot Laboratory

Anonymous

https://roboken.sunrise-world.net/

>What is Sunrise Robot Laboratory?

>The Sunrise Robot Laboratory is a research institute established to study and speculate on the imaginary robots and mecha that have appeared in Sunrise works, which have created numerous robot animation series since the first "Invincible Superhero Zambot 3" in 1977, from various perspectives, including past databases and new studies. The research institute was established to explore the imaginary robots and mecha that have appeared in Sunrise productions, which have created many robot animations.

Since it was established in 1977, I can imagine how the mecha in Armored Trooper VOTOMS were to work must have been tested there.

>>22618879
>Since it was established in 1977
1977 is just the date Zambot-3, referenced here as Sunrise's first robot anime, was created.

>>22619408

My bad. If not 1977, when was this laboratory created?

Seems like they are going to do shorts with their old franchises<br>next one seem to be Zambot 3 https://roboken.sunrise-world.net/r<wbr>eference/

This building looks like the old Sunrise building

>>22623254
Zambot, Daitarn, Lgaim, Xabungle and Dragonar are coming soon.

>>22618879
So I'm guessing we aren't actually getting anything from this? No series, no OVA, no movie, only these short vids?

>>22626001
There would be more material if more interest was shown. By interest, meaning more toy sales so buy those new Dunbine (or other non-Gundam Sunrise mecha) plamo if you want more content.

>>22626750
>proceeds to make them P-Bandai or some other shit

>>22623337
Are they skipping Layzner, Ideon and Gundam?

The Dunbine new animations looked like something out of a pachinko. I gather they are using less 'flashy' videos like so nowadays.

>>22623337
>Lgaim
Kinda unrelated but I really hope this points to them doing a remaster for it, esp since kits are coming up for it on p-bandai.

>>22634178
They should since its 40th anniversary is this year.

>>22634190
Please fucking please, I want to see the auge in glorious 1080p.

>>22629368
I'm sure they're skipping Gundam given the entire point of this was to put focus on the less used IPs

>>22629368
They are skipping a lot more than just that, starting with Trider G7.
As >>22635841 said, it makes sense that they aren't choosing more popular ones, like Votoms.
Or maybe we are in for the Phase 2.


Iron Saga VS

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRP<wbr>Q-sBkxDM<br>I don't know shit about the mobile game but this looks kinda good.

>>22617674
>Wanted a new Super Robot Spirits fighting game
>This is announced
close enough

looks nice enough, though it's a shame the cape isn't there most of the time.

I wish more gacha devs would do stuff like this with their IP.

>>22617979
What other gachas could work as fighting games? I know Granblue has one.

>>22617993
I don't necessarily mean fighting games, just regular games in general. Now that you mention it though I'm not sure what would work. Arknights maybe?

The OG on the title screen looks like Soulgain swiped Cybuster's back bulbs when he wasn't looking.

>>22617674
The mobile game is far gone in terms of story, gameplay, and pvp meta. Goddamn is it fucked up where they constantly shit out some new over powered unit, I used to log in daily and play a bit but now I'm going months without logging in cause there just isn't a point anymore, and the game servers seem to be being kept afloat by a bunch of chinese whales that max out every new hot gacha unit that comes out every month.

>>22618103
The OGs are ok-ish but I'm really glad the Dynamic Pro mechs and Dancouga are in, Obari did design some OGs for the mobile game which look good.

>>22618152
This. They had a few cool original units and then never got around to doing much with most of them in game or story because everything new was became either some power creeped crossover representative or some power creeped china stronk themed robot.

>>22617932
sincerely, i have always wanted exactly this. a sprite based/chibi SRW fighting game, ever since i discovered SRW via Alpha 3.

to think that 15 years later someone would actually do this is beyond incredible, the only thing better would be for Bamco to take notice and actually make their own SRW 2d SD fightan. featuring both liscenced series and the OGs.

>>22621507
The China strong mecha have long since faded in the meta world

>>22622519
Really? I think Lu Bu, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun mechs are still good. Not bonkers broken like Mazinger Zero or GGGG, but still strong for most of the content.

>open get
>couple of seconds of invulframes
This shit looks unbalanced as fuck.

>>22617674
there's also a Gundam EXVS-like gacha game for pc Starward

>>22628908
is that the chinese only one with anime titties instead of robots?

I'm so glad that it's OG basic Getter and not Shin or Arc or whatever the fuck.
Also it's either manga or armageddon version, i.e. the fat and violent Getter and not thin boymodel from TV.
Fucking perfect.

>>22618152
reminds me that the last time I tried reading some recent story chapters, I couldn't get it cause the "main character" Becas is just gone for some reason, and a "female Becas" is in his place in recent chapters and event story too, which started out as a joke skin for the MC which is basically him with long hair and big tits, but now I'm not even sure anymore.

>>22631201
well, based on the video, it's definitely suppose to be the Armageddon Getter 1 cause its stage has Shin Dragon in the background

>>22631201
I guess Liz can't handle Getter rays.

>>22631471
Good enough.

>>22631473
Because fuck dinosaurs.

https://youtu.be/LGEGzq-CP3A

Justin's annoying but this is some of the clearest footage we've got outside of trailers. Also got some matches against devs later in the video, with the funny Boss Borot dev just throwing shit.

I want to get hype this but it kinda looks like a mobile tier game <s>and Chinkshills/Chinkfags have been pissing me off in the past 4 years with their obnoxious shilling and astroturfing</s>

>>22617674
It looks like the engine for Hardcore Mecha, <s>now where is Hardcore Mecha 2?</s>

>>22634001
><s> Hardcore Mecha 2</s>
Stuck as a gacha/mobile game now
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ea<wbr>s7_vqcow

>>22631201
You have something against Shin Getter?

>>22633977
Boss borot top tier?!?!
Is this the so fabled age of fatso?

Do you think Gurren Lagann, Dangaioh, Zeorymer, or GaoGaiGar will be in the game too?

>>22634160
Wait what, who the fuck are these bitches? Where the hell is Tarethur and his crew?

>>22634160
>Mobage
Tell me why i should trust China again?

>>22633995
I get the feel it looks kinda mobile game-y, but I think the chibi appeal helps because of SRW staying chibi for so many years.

>>22633977
Man they nailed Boss.
>>22634247
I don't think Gaogaigar will be in because it's owned by Bamco but the others maybe.

>>22634904
All of these robots are already in their other Iron Saga mobage. Even other versions like Great Zeorymer or Genesic GGG. So, there's a possible overlap.

>>22634916
I know but I just think Bamco might be more hesitant when it comes to licensing their IPs to a non-mobile game, I hope I'm wrong though.

Sparkaiser poster here; here's a clearer image of the page.

People keep posting about the Hobby magazine Future Soldier Lulu but not writting a summary or anything

>>22609646
Because japanese are sharing little, and the only thing were about the snipped was posted on HJ website.
If there are english speaking folks who got the magazine and read it they didn't translate or shared any info.

>>22609646
I ran the part on HJ through DeepL, and it's the battle with Segnitus from another soldier's POV.

https://twitter.com/bangbravern/sta<wbr>tus/1785867199523234287 there's a little survey being made as a commemoration for the release of the first BD. I put that I liked all things about Bravern

>>22610323
do they even accept answers not in Japanese?

>>22610325
Just use google translate/DeepL for the writing parts, don't think they going to mind.

>>22609140
Sorry in advance Bravern thread. Just wanted to post this amount of 'tism on my part.
<s>This size assumes that Smith is packing 7". And that he and Bravern share about the same body proportions.</s>

>>22610325
You have to be Japanese to win the prize but there's no harm in putting in an answer, I guess?

>>22610682
I'm sure Obari would be happy anyway.

>>22610674
It doesn't matter what size it is, Isami was willing to take Bravern either way if Lulu didn't interrupt them. lol

I just finished the show, it was fucking great.

tried showing this show to my mom and she didn’t like it<br>is it too niche for people unfamiliar with mecha to enjoy

>>22609140
Fuck off, you despicably disgusting faggot

>>22611392
No. Isami is for sexo and the world NEEDS to know.

So when does the first part of the novel come out?

>>22611714
With the first volume of the BD on May 10th.

The new pop up store opened today, seems like that aside the usual material they put on display the script of different episodes.

>>22611379
>show to my mom
Anon, please.

>>22611761
and there episode 11 script and the display says that Isami
>まんざらでもない
So kind of comferm Isami being a slut, but it's fine, he wasn't cheating kek
So yeah,

>>22611764
So yeah, there were a lot of people in line for the shop, around 100 circa

>>22611766
chapter 1 is written on the tea mug

I'm still waiting for an explanation regarding this Bravern ability.

>>22611776
I didn't read any Nip mentioning that line as something weird like was that infamous Cunus' like that got mistraslated. But it's a curious thing, probably since he sucking from the core of the Earth he feels it reacting to Bravern's "magic" in some way, if you think about it Isami became one with a man who reincarnated as a robot.

>>22611764
google translate can't pick up yabai context as usual, but it's やばい so you know it means a lot of things lol both bad and good

both animedia and animage gonna have bravern content, animedia a feature while animage a poster and something else, like merch related?

I hope they will do an OVA about the first timeline, I want some tragedy kino

>>22609662
It's the worst time for me to order stuff right now otherwise I might have done it. I hope someone eventually scans it as you said Japan will never share anything. Since it's not popular in the west I have no hope that they might release a translated version of the volumes here if they print any.

>>22612059
im not aware because never got interest in novels, but can novels published on monthly magazines being printed as books/tankobon?

>>22610323
Is the last part asking me which DD I want to fusion with? I assume they mean piloting, but still a cool question I didn't expect.
Best DD is a hard choice because there are a bunch I consider basically perfect I feel bad not voting for the rest. I hope they will get kits at some point.

>>22612092
I choose Segnities to laze around with him (inside his cockpit) as we watch old toku shows

>>22612077
Yes. But honestly I am not sure if it's always the case of if only some of the publishers do it. One franchise I like even eventually got its monthly web novel published a book though it was also never released in the west. It was always done by Tokyopop in the past, but then they died and it all stopped. Not sure if US TP returned at some point but if they did they never cared about picking the LNs up that I cared about

>>22612096
ah, don't care much about western release but would be more easy to translate if after it's done it get a physical tankobon release.
anyway, if you wanted to get it there is the digital of the magazine, an anon posted the link on the previous thread.

>>22612113
Thanks I will look it up and save the url. Can't buy right now but might get them in the future. The option to get them digitally makes it a lot easier.

>>22612124

she was watching some japanese drama called shogun so i asked if she wanted to watch an entertaining robot show and she said yes
in the first episode when it switched from realism to super robot she didn’t react then afterwards i explained it was supposed to be funny that the mood changed
she laughed during the second episode when bravern was narrating chapter one, but that was it
probably never gonna try showing her more of it though

>>22612214
>i explained it was supposed to be funny that the mood changed
this is a very funny image

Is it unusual for a Sergeant Major of the Army to attend RIMPAC?

>>22612077
The High Card serialisation has, if you wanted a recent example. I think the problem is having enough chapters to warrant it, but with digital services they might be able to sell them as a bundle later.

>>22612791
but Hobby Japan is its own publisher differently from Newtype (i found a high card novel in a newtype issue) who is published by Kadokawa Shoten.
But we will see, there might be a demand and publish it later on.

first time to sold out is the tea mug, understandable it's very cool

i read some western fans got it, i hope they gonna share

>>22616234
I know the release date, I was asking if anybody already got it, that's what a furage is

>>22611660
Isami is for being loved tenderly and gently caressed. Still can't believe that they got away with what's basically a hurt/comfort fic in episode 2.

>>22612113
>western release
>mfw the idea of a localized Western release
I'm thankful that the show hasn't gotten an English dub.

>>22617861
Explain how episode 2 was basically a hurt/comfort fic? Sure thing:
Hurt: Isami is worm down physically and emotionally by the torture he goes through. Simple enough.
Comfort:
1.Smith saves Isami from any more torture. Earning Isami's gratitude.
2. Isami is afraid of piloting Bravern again and says that Smith should pilot instead. Smith offers to do just that. It shows that he values Isami enough to do what Isami asks of him. Instead of forcing him to pilot Bravern.
3. When that's not an option Smith begs Isami to save everyone. Which Isami does willingly now that he's been built back up by Smith.

>>22617900
Can I add that inside Bravern Isami is thinking of Smith or is too much? Because i remember that vividly and I thought was really interesting.

>>22617862
I think with some good talent, a dub of this show could be very enjoyable.

New article in Animage, featuring an interview with producer Muranaka and series composer Koyanagi. Also a retrospective on Isami and Smith's friendship, now with a Friendship Gauge.

https://x.com/animage_tokuma/status<wbr>/1788041139997557153

>>22617968
It'd be impossible but I'd like Isami to speak English with a Japanese accent. Maximum weeb bait.

Is Bravern officially a Brave now that Takara is making toys of it?

>>22618655
waiting also to see the 3way can badge. anyway nits such a cute picture and I'm glad that Lulu is also there.
there is also animedia, there should be a feature there

>>22618783
Surely there's a Japanese-American VA out there who could deliver something native-level.

>>22616166
There shouldn't have been more than one Bravern as an option.

Reading nips receving email notification about the BD shipping, they will def get their copy by tomorrow
>>22619161
except for Burn Brave Big Bang whos isami i would agree, but is funny because people split the votes because the twist and didn't know which one to vote

>>22617968
>good talent
That would be what you need. The other thing I fear a western dub company would do is inject a bunch of american alphabet people nonsense into the show. For example:
>Isami is aromantic!
>Lulu is nonbinary!
>A character will spout off about gay pride and being oppressed randomly once an episode

WHERE ARE THE FUCKING BD AFTERSTORY LEAKS

>>22619683
Holy shit, SaiKano in the year of 2024?

>>22619948
anon said ppl got their shipping notification, at best if someone is lucky they will get it tomorrow at worst the day after tomorrow

>>22619969
it's kind of fitting. now i want to re-read the manga

>>22618973
It's anime dubbing though, they'll hire a Filipino to put on a Japanese accent.

>>22619969
I was thinking the same, how is that pose so recognisable even from the thumbnail.

>>22619948
IT'S ONLY PART 1 OF THE FUCKING BOOK
WE DON'T EVEN GET THE WHOLE THING YET
CALM THE FUCK DOWN

>>22620302
I DON'T CARE I NEED PART 1 RIGHT NOW

I’m seeing people saying <s>Smith becomes a vagabond?</s>

>>22620874
How did that happen after the cruise?

>>22620881
I don’t know that information, it was just one person’s reaction.

>>22620887
It just sounds kind of like bullshit is all.

>>22620949
Let's just wait for someone to post the entire novel <s>I read another impression and it seems like, he sort of disappeared, neither Isami and Lulu don't know his whereabouts? Apparently they are trying to find him or something... Maybe Smith didn't want to compromise the safety of Isami, Lulu or anyone at the ATF that's why he left?</s>

A fujo I follow is talking about how it is now explicit that Smith and Bravern have the same feelings for Isami. I know it's obvious but it's making my heart beat.

>>22620959
<s>yeah is gonna be some shit about him thinking they will be safer if they are away from him and then they will find him and Lulu is gonna roundhouse kick him and Isami punches him while he's still down</s>

It's the tricolor shirt, and it does look a little big on Isami.

>>22620959
>>22620990
before the cruise thing him doing that is what I expected and imagined he would do lol

Can anyone corroborate whether <s>Bravern allegedly reappears at the end in a cliffhanger</s>?

>>22621121
<s>I saw someone mention that while Smith and Bravern are of course the same there's something like Bravern himself exosting within Smith
<s>I also saw mentions of Lulu working as spy? and Isami being on "vacation", as if Isami is trying to locate Smith on his own. He seems to barely appear in the novel himself</s>
Overall people sound very excited about the novel and already desperate for part 2</s>

>>22621070
>3 way
what did they mean by this

>>22621155
it can be used in 3 different way, like a standee, can badge and hung up iirc

>>22621150
<s>Gave me the impression that Bravern or whatever name it has because at the end Bravern is the name Smith's picked as his new identity, that is more closer to a God-like figure. Would kind of explain the powers that Bravern had and why and how Smith could come back alive (even if it was his own doing since they said he came back because Isami's wish).
It's more mythological than sci-fi lol</s>

>>22621236
and there is an animate benefit if you buy from their store

>>22621150
<s>their travel around the world seems confirmed but after that, since Smith goes mia Isami seems like goes on an leave, he doesn't go back to Japan.Or at last is what I got from people comments.</s>

>>22621224
I read this take based on the after story novel and it's interesting
>https://fusetter.com/tw/tMEtR4xB#a<wbr>ll

The one I’m reading is this frantic play-by-play.

https://fusetter.com/tw/flESBFs4#wa<wbr>tchword

>>22621258
Does this mean he got over Isami? He sounds like a deadbeat dad abandoning his family.

>>22621302
No, the novel clarify that Smith love Isami but seems there is something going on but the comments seems pretty vague about it (and the MTL is not helping)
But I had the impression a letter or something like that was left, and it was written by Smith/Bravern but IDK

>>22621311
>But I had the impression a letter or something like that was left, and it was written by Smith/Bravern but IDK
Comments says it's another Smith's monologue
>https://fusetter.com/tw/RHeIuId5#a<wbr>ll
>https://fusetter.com/tw/bMBONKiN#a<wbr>ll
And for now the character showed were all the cast except Isami and Smith.
People are loving Bob with Lulu, seems he's doting her and Superbia's necklace appears.

Seems like the novel made a point of <s>Bravern appearing again in MURRICA, I wonder if that means Smith henshin'd into him</s>

>>22621263
<s>Bravern as a concept who manifests via Smith, and the main characteristic is that they all love Isami in any timelines... this feel closer to a relationship between a god-like entity and its favorite human. Very interesting concept, kinda hot in a way but also tragic.</s>

>>22621392
I thought that for some time, it makes sense for a bunch of stuff, especially in the way that Bravern was born as Smith (and Isami) wish were that strong to "create a miracle"
but there is also this:
>https://fusetter.com/tw/tMEtR4xB#a<wbr>ll
which also makes sense because even if its a loop, there is always (but not always since the two seat orthos exist?) a Smith that dies to become Bravern and there is a split between the Smith who became Bravern and the Smith in the current timeline who becomes Bravern.
Damn this shit is complicated to explain lol

>>22621347
I got that as well, so I guess the second part is about that and should have Isami and Smith chapters (and lulu?)

>>22620985
I'm just surprised that a fujo is watching the series.

>>22621427
Anon, you are bit late on this but most of the people who talk/make fanart/etc are fujo or at least women

So the jist is
>went on a cruise
>Smith got the urge to henshin
>left an "I love you Isami, goodbye" note
>Lulu and Bob become friends
>Smith turns into Bravern in America
>Isami is pissed and goes to look for his retarded ass

This is a very tight summary plus the person comment on the content of the story
>https://fusetter.com/tw/tXrczEMX#w<wbr>atchword

>After the ATF was dissolved, almost everyone was promoted except for General Hal King, who refused all honors to protect Isami and the others' dignity, and former Lieutenant Shelley Lauren, who was honorably discharged and is now working as a bartender in Las Vegas.
>Lieutenant Honoka Suzunagi's huge feelings for Lieutenant Isami Ao are still there. He unexpectedly shares coffee with Captain Karen Aldren at dawn (※Karen just looked after Honoka, who was drunk until the morning after drinking Moscow Mules because of her huge feelings for Isami. When Honoka asks him to marry her, he says, "I'd never do that" ※※She is still positive)
>Captain Nina Kowalski, although not a psychiatrist by trade, conducts counseling sessions with each of the former ATF members, which also serves to deepen her friendship with them. (Military movie nerd? She seems a bit like Miyu...)
>Akira Mishima (unknown if he was promoted) is on leave and reunites with Sherry. They try to contact Lt. Lewis Smith, but his number, which was only given to former ATF agents, is no longer in use.
>After getting off the luxury cruise ship, Isami is still on long-term leave and his whereabouts are unknown. Smith seems to have become a drifter, giving his contact information only to former ATF agents, but his whereabouts are as above.
>Bob Craib resigns from the CIA after making arrangements with various government agencies to keep Braeburn secret and protect Isami, Smith, and Lulu... or so he was supposed to do.
>Lulu becomes a spy. Training for new CIA personnel by Uncle Bob (※On the verge of retirement) (※※Presidential order)

>>22621463
>A new mission for the CIA: Search for and secure the missing former Braeburn, Louis Smith, as soon as possible.
>A confession of love to Isami written by someone calling himself "Braeburn who became a star." (ほしになったブレイバーン)
>New York is Times Square, and even though the threat of Death Drives should have been over, the sounds of conflict can still be heard there, and the real Braeburn descends once again.

>>22621452
>>Isami is pissed and goes to look for his retarded ass
The point of question is that BOTH Smith and Isami are MIA but Lulu is looking for Smith but not Isami who went on an indefinite leave from the service and the chapters doesn't mention his whereabouts.

>>22621463
>>22621466
<s>I'm starting to wonder if this novel was an entire arc cut from the anime</s>
<s>wouldn't mind it released as a movie</s>

>Smith said <s>"Let there be light (Isami)</s>
Is Smith god

>>22621498
Well I guess it could also be interpreted as <s>when Smith met Isami, his world was born. Isami is the world to Smith. What's wrong with him.</s>

>>22621484
could be that some idea were there but maybe not, it just look like a fully fleshed out sequel/after story especially since a lot of time passes from the show. wouldn't mind a movie as well, but let's see how things end, don't think things are going to end tragically because would defeat the purpose that obari had with the show
here a chronology of the events
>https://fusetter.com/tw/zSFpRuK2#a<wbr>ll

>Part 1 and 2: Within six months of the main story.
>ATF members (some of them) are on a world triumphant return, Smith/Isami/Lulu are on a luxury cruise ship (Isami is treated as an extended holiday).
>Part 3: Unknown timeline.
>Later than Part 1 (six months later), as Hibiki has returned to Japan.
>Part.4: About a year after the main story?
>Feels like it's been a while since Smith/Isami/Lulu finished their round-the-world trip.
>Mentions Smith after his round-the-world trip.
>Part 5: One to two years after the main story?
>Talking about what Lulu is doing.
>The end of Part 6: timeline unknown.
>Probably after 5.

>>22621463
One of the funniest thing from the novel is that Nina seems liking Satake/Plumman bromance, she has taste.

>>22621463
>Lieutenant Shelley Lauren
Who?

>Lulu becomes a spy. Training for new CIA personnel by Uncle Bob
After he waterboarded one of her dads to the point of mental breakdown? Can't believe they just ruined her character like that by making her a glowie puppet. Disgusting.

>>22621527
She wants to find Smith since he's MIA and not even CIA knows where he is.
The characters had no hard feelings on him, he even apologize to Isami, so why you should?

<s>I hope Isami finds him, give him a lengthy scold "why are you going away from me wtf stay and hold me usoyaro" and holds his face like Smith did when they were boxing</s>

A fragment of Superbia’s pendant still exists.

>>22621466
>>22621463
> they keep blueballing with the Smith/Isami reunion with an actual heart to heart talk

>>22621475
Yeah it's a cliff hanger but it's obvious Isami went to look for him.

>>22621567
technically they spent the time of a travel around-the-world to "reunite"

>>22621594
>>22621567
yeah it feels like is building up for that, if not I will be flabbergasted
I feel like Smith thinks in reality the CIA/governments won't actually commit to leaving him alone his whole life which would in turn put everyone else in danger and Isami probably agrees hence the "vacation" but also where does that leave Lulu who agreed to work for them

>>22621649
Lulu is probably doing it to try and find a way Smith won't be bothered by them. Either Lulu will be successful, since this is fiction, or Lulu will have a wake up call when she sees how shitty american government is. Depends on how realistic they want to be with it.

>>22621551
>The characters had no hard feelings on him, he even apologize to Isami, so why you should?
Because, unlike them, I don't have Stockholm Syndrome and want a functional society, not a US-style shitshow of sociopathic dindunuffins getting away with everything.

>>22621649
>where does that leave Lulu who agreed to work for them
Her character has been neglected in episode 12 to the point she is written having brainded cheerful retorts to Isami hours after Superbia's death, so it's just a continuation of that.

>>22621662
Not sure what's your problem but maybe you should walk out or something. It's fiction and so far what was posed are summary of a novel, not the whole text.

>>22621662
What the fuck are you talking about? We don’t see Lulu cheerful hours after Superbia’s death. She’s sobbing his name a couple minutes before the show ends.

>>22621484
I think it's more likely for the movie/OVA treatment to be used for the original timeline events.

>>22621527
>Who?
The big booba lady who may or may not be lesbian

the friendship gauge went goes beyond the limits and is rainbow kek

>>22621698
i can english, i swear to god
>>22621691
that sounds like every female character in the show except honoka

>>22621698
It's like the editors are playing a game of how gay they can make it without explicitly saying it's gay because they probably aren't allowed to lmao

>>22621730
More like they are making a joke out of them being homos then being afraid to call it gay. Saying their relationship broke the boundaries of friendship is pretty much saying that.

>>22621676
>We don’t see Lulu cheerful hours after Superbia’s death.
Rewatch the last episode.

>>22621662
this isn't real life, the militarly in mecha anime most of the time fights aliens or actual terrorists/cartels not bombing brown people unless it wants to be a serious war cautionary tale

>>22621691
>The big booba lady who may or may not be lesbian
Why would she downgrade to being a bartender if she has a well-paying, prestigious job? Is she mental?

>>22621730
it's pretty much what everyone is thinking, but iirc not even stuff like YoI called the two leads for what they are.
But I guess is what happen when you are not officially a BL
Obari already found the Bravern loophole (Nips call it "three-shop system") to make their relationship homo.

>>22621789
Apparently not even Saudi Arabians think it's homo if it's a robot

>>22621789
I saw a few observations that they’re abandoning the 三店方式 now that Smith admitted his feelings are the same as Bravern’s.

>>22621794
Can you read? I never wrote that she doesn't grieve, only that her writing is inconsistent and an afterthought.

>>22621836
you mean the love triangle angle?

>>22621873
No, the pachinko system loophole. It's illegal to gamble for prizes, but it's not illegal to gamble for fake currency that you then trade in for prizes.

>>22621873
It's a pachinko metaphor. You can't trade your winnings from pachinko to cash directly, instead you take it to another store where they give you prizes for the pachinko balls, and then you can take those prizes and change them for cash.

The three shop metaphor with Bravern is, "Smith never directly declares his love for Isami while he's Smith, instead Bravern talks about how horny he is for Isami, and then we are told that Smith and Bravern are the same person."

>>22621836
But it was admitted off screen in a post show novel. It doesn't really change the fact they are trying to get around doing it properly.

>>22621815
a lot of people who are not self-aware and see straight romances until they are not shoved to their faces, imagine being religious or conservative, its even worse

>>22621895
A novel that's bundled in with the BD release.

Casual fans of Bravern aren't bothering to do the three shop math anyway. They watched a funny comedy about a robot that accidentally says perverted things, and they enjoyed it because it reminded them of the robot shows they used to watch as a kid. That's it.

I was really convinced that this epilogue was just going to be a wacky adventure. Even from these summaries I can feel some of the tension and mystery I felt around episode 7/8.

>>22621976
Same. My only experience with a bonus novel was Mawaru Penguindrum and iirc that was a novelization of the last chapters. Are bonus novels always this loaded? I usually expect this kind of narrative from some sequel anniversary novel/manga.

>>22621976
Watch part 2 turn wacky and still leave shit unanswered. Bravern will do something stupid, Isami will punch out Smith for being a retard, they still won't properly love confess, Lulu brings Superbia back via some unexplained bullshit too. We all thought the plot was thickening around episode 7/8 only for 12 to finally come and go in an unsatisfying conclusion filled with plot holes.

>>22622022
I think we should just wait and see.

>>22621976
I guess because the main scriptwriter and probably obari are involved and it's not a classical mandated content just to milk some money, at least is the impression i got from also seeing lulu's spin-off

>>22621976
More than one person has said it felt exactly like the TV series, not only in the tension, but the humor was dead on too.

People are probably too caught up in the new story developments, but has anyone noticed any animation fixes in the BD?

>>22621236
From Animedia there is an interview with Suzuken and I saw this reported and he's the best
>1話からずっと他のキャスト陣に内緒で「俺の考える最高にクールなヒーロ<wbr>ーでのブレを大仰に演じるスミ」を演じてくれてたのマジ感謝だなって思いま<wbr>した

>>22622107
there is that, the cast commentary and the artbook
i remember there were dedicated jpn account that would post screenshot with the differences between tv and bd release

>>22622121
The artbook of the show is only given in the bluray? Fuck me

>>22622107
I don't think there was much to fix in the first place.

>>22622139
that's why was that expensive, the first BD has the setting material while the second one obari's storyboards/original art collection

>>22621397
I only think that probably there is a clash between the present Smith who is not Bravern (and will become Bravern) and the future Smith who fully became Bravern and they collide when Smith dies etc

>>22622384
I read some reports long ago about the perfumes and iirc Lulu's had a soft sweet/floral scent, akin to a good detergent or something like that

>>22622416
Lulu probably has CSM Power's habits

Smith’s getting hairier and hairier on his wanderings…

>>22622450
I just want to know what happened on that cruise before he ran away because he didn't want Isami to know he has a Bravern henshin problem.

>>22622450
he travels with one of these bad boys

>>22622469
willing to bet literally nothing bad happened, they probably acted like newlyweds but Smith was still thinking "this is bad for them" just waiting till the trip was over to leave

>>22622469
>thanks to Kunth the "henshin problem" is a metaphor for something like sex addiction or erectile dysfunction

this would be the funniest route

>>22622503
>tfw sex with Isami was so godlike it overwhelmed Smith so much he ran away

>>22622547
they need to commit to the bit till the end and make it so Smith can only turn back into Bravern by filling a gauge that requires making him cum like in Escalayer, and the military needs to be tortured over this like in episode 2

The fujoshi are discovering that “ao” can mean “light” in Hawaiian.

>https://twitter.com/kujicliff/stat<wbr>us/1788735712763732368

>>22622450
im patiently waiting the fanart of this
>>22622469
all the reports says that the novel mention it so people feel free to imagine what happened, but the important part is that it concluded. it's not clear how much time passed, at least i didn't read a clear information.
and if you search for world cruises, google tell you that the itineraries last "between three and five months on average but can be longer", in fact i found one (first result on google) that last 9 months.

>>22623198
If anyone is interested in the 3WAY can badge you can buy it from here https://www.tokuma-shop.com/

>>22623209
that 9 month cruise was a one time thing, they made a huge deal out of it and then it turned out to have been kind of poorly planned and soms people went insane and started to investigate other passengers. I don't think they were in the 9 month cruise

>>22623547
they say luxury so idk, could just be 6 months and it's still quite a lot

>>22621463
>When Honoka asks him to marry her, he says, "I'd never do that"
First time I can't be mad at the classical trope of x character who can't read the room and is clueless. I hope Karen can comfort her.

>>22622022
>unexplained bullshit
You mean transferring his data on the necklace to the Build Burn made from his tower?

>>22624625
I too hope Superbia comes back as a necklace or like the chibi Bravern or something silly like that

>>22624728
>>22624625
I'm so disappointed he isn't back. His body did not disappear, like other DDs - what's the excuse for that? Only for Lulu to pilot his corpse with no payoff?

>>22624811
Smith managed to become or otherwise recreate Bravern again. Since Superbia’s pendant still exists, there is a chance he’ll return too.

>>22625582
Obari said it wasn't planned, and was asked in their live Q&A around episode 5 but knows, things might have changed and cygames heard ppl's demands.

I seem to recall them wanting to release Isami’s version of the opening somewhere, I presume on the full OST.

If there’s any part of the novel I want to read directly, it’s the Smith/Bravern section. It sounds like the most intriguing and perplexing chapter.

>>22625649
yeah is the hardest to grasp what's up with him
really hoping is just a phase and not some weird deification process, after everything that happened I just want everyone to be calm and happy

>>22626715
Even if Smith becomes a god he'll want his Isami. I have a feeling he'll be fighting withdrawal the longer he tries to spare Isami trouble. If he has to become Bravern and do heroic acts, he'll need his pilot. A mech is empty without.

>>22626742
also Smithvern is so much weaker when Isami isn't piloting him

>>22626715
i bunch of comments i read about it said that was weird that was implied that lulu's new mission was to find smith (and bravern) but nothing about isami since he also kind of went mia, so she might know what isami is doing

>>22626931
Cool. Really glad to see that <s>Smith ranking on two spots is unfair kek</s>. Last month Isami was 12, Smith 22 and Bravern 30
<s>seeing genazo and bravern being on the top 10 is very nice</s>
Anyway, I think this comment is supposed to be taken from the episodes commentary
>https://fusetter.com/tw/gXADoULP#a<wbr>ll
and they say that also Hiro was supposed to die in the first episode along with Ryoma, Smith's captain.

>>22626931
Ugh, why? Isami is such a loser when Lulu or Smith are not around. He's a coward, he can't hero on his own, it's beyond his abilities.

>>22626948
That's part of his charm and if Smith/Bravern trusted him so should you

>>22626948
For one simple reason: Everyone wants to fuck Isami.

>>22626781
If there's no alien threat he can get away with it, he's way outclassing most earth tech. It's all about his comfort and state of mind. Being the Bravern persona without Isami will tire him out. He'll probably have US military and police treating him as a potential threat too, and that really clashes with his style.

>>22626948
In the final episode he gold standard hero'd, and it was very moe.

lmao really he can't stop throwing bones at us

>>22626853
I assumed she was doing her part from the inside because it was a little odd she had no reaction to Isami's temporal retirement unless he told her to
then again at least Isami isn't mia

>>22627246
meant to say, though Isami asked for a temporal retirement and is just isolating, not like Smith that did go missing and gave people fake phone numbers

>>22627246
>>22627248
from the notes, if MTL didn't fuck up, he's on a long term leave but it's unknown where he is while the cast, at least from shelly/akira and lulu/CIA smith is MIA
maybe im overthinking, but they could say that both smith and isami are mia instead there is a clear distinction, so probably there is a reason
but why the cia is looking for bravern/smith and not isami who was his pilot?

It completely ruined the character for me.

Am I missing something in characterization?

[Judas] Brave Bang Bravern! - S01E12.mkv_snapshot_03.48.281.jpg

>>22628503
that can't be helped since ira colors are black/yellow/red. im seeing other fanart giving him black/green and black/purple
>>22628511
He's a human, all the people who could have fought against DDs died and he doesn't want the other and himself to die.
He belong to the "real robot world", so he doesn't and can't play the hero without weapons which is why he gain courage again when he talks with smith/bravern who tell him to "use his body to go beyond" and he feels reassured that smith was bravern.

>>22628525
"Real robot world" doesn't have overwhelmingly superior enemy forces or hopeless situations?
If you're cowardly bitch nigga, why are you even in military holy shit.
And why do people even like this dude? He was an asshole for the most of the series and just magically turned into Guy Shishioh in the last fight for no reason.
There aren't many "real robot" shows to begin with, and I don't remember a single character as annoying as isami.

>>22628511
>Am I missing something in characterization?
Nope. The writer ruined his character on purpose to have his lolsworthy finale. In episode 1 Isami was brave enough to try rescuing a trapped pilot even if it meant being fried by a laser.

>>22628525
> all the people who could have fought against DDs died
Bullcrap. The military is still there and they know much more about DDs than they did in episode 1. Smith killed Kunusu - the most OP DD to exist - in a TS explosion. No new special weapons needed - just big bang Ira. Ira doesn't even have magic abilities, like space/time travel or fog fumes. He's physical attacks only - the easiest opponent to deal with. Defeatist schizo Isami was the worst character assassination in mecha after SEED Destiny.

>>22628547
The military is still there doesn't mean nothing because the time they arrived Isami would have been dead and against DDs they would have died, you see in different episodes that human weapons doesn't damage them.

Smith dying wasn't even planned because he was supposed to escape using the escape thing-y inside Orthus. Which is why he was mad when he understood he was dead.
And Cunus didn't died because those bombs were strong but because Smith granted her wish.
The existence of Bravern proved that he was the only way to defeat DDs, why are you being stupid about this kek It's what Bravern told to Isami and he believed from the start.

Also using the first episode scene where he tries to save Hibiki doesn't mean much when they don't know what's happening and he's just trying to do the first thing he thought. What he could have done alone against a 9m alien robot?

>>22628560
>What he could have done alone against a 9m alien robot?
Show him the middle finger and die like fucking samurai?
Or talk about how "you killing me won't grant your wish, wait for when I get a robot to fight your properly" or some shit.
But not fucking bitch out holy fuck.

>>22621789
Bravern has an on screen confession, I don't get these posts

Obari literally directed shemale hentai, what are you faggots even arguing about.
Also Ordian is better gay couple show overall.
Where's my BD

>>22628584
You sound underage.
>>22628592
Bravern is not human male.

>>22628601
Nigga, they literally talked with Spermia like 10 minutes earlier how Bravern will only get stronger over time, so rather than dying, he should wait for better rematch.
It's the very same logic here.
Ira wanna die, then let this dude prepare for death match instead of smacking him here and now and basically wasting the entire effort.
>Bravern is not human male
He literally is. That's the twist duuuuh.

>>22628560
>And Cunus didn't died because those bombs were strong but because Smith granted her wish.
Learn English before using this board. She still died - she just didn't respawn. Ira's wish is easy to grant - you just duel him. And he won't respawn if you destroy his tower first.

>Smith dying wasn't even planned because he was supposed to escape using the escape thing-y inside Orthus. Which is why he was mad when he understood he was dead.
Your fanfiction is not based on the show itself.

Wave the white flag then go cry himself silly, like he did in the last episode. It's in-character for him, according to you.

>The existence of Bravern proved that he was the only way to defeat DDs, why are you being stupid about this kek
This sentence doesn't make any sense. You'd be better off using Google Translate.

>WHY DIDN'T SHINJI GET IN THE ROBOT RIGHT AWAY WHAT A PUSSY

>>22628615
Wrong comparison. If Shinji was a career soldier and had no problems piloting Eva throughout the show, but only pussied out in the last episode, you'd complain. Is your knowledge of mecha limited to Eva for you to choose such a moronic example?

>>22628615
Still valid criticism.

Won't reply to the rest because you are playing dumb on purpose or just being retarded.

>>22628637
Sorry, I judge the story by what is actually shown in the anime, not what a staff member writes on twatter (developments he didn't even bother including in the show, despite having the power to do so, considering his role - really makes you think why), which then gets misinterpreted by people MTL-ing tweets.

>you are playing dumb on purpose
That's you and your whole line of thought defending the writing in the last episode (Isami having any justification to act like a scared toddler).

8 months until any Bravern merch is in my house and still not any other figures up for order yet.

>>22628694
>Sorry, I judge the story by what is actually shown in the anime
NTA but the show had Smith visibly getting upset in the afterlife because he wasn't supposed to die against Cunny

>>22628793
If he was ready to die and sacrifice himself this whole scene wouldn't exist.
That anon is just too dumb, like others who thought Smith kamikaze'd himself, that's why Obari and the designer added that comment.

>>22628802
"sorry I exclusively judge the story by what was shown" proceeds to not actually pay attention or rewatch
Never mind in any medium but specially in tv anime a lot of corners have to be cut, sometimes not even by choice of the director

>>22628599
I've been waiting for an Angel Blade sequel for over 10 years. Now that Obari has the money he should do it already

>>22629078
I think that scene got easily misunderstood because how was framed, especially in the way he ejected Lulu from the cockpit.
Smith was sure to come back but didn't want to risk to put Lulu in such situation if anything went wrong (and it happened).

Do you think new Bravern will have the same exact control setup as before (i.e., Smith transforms into him directly), or will it be a two-seater inside where Smith has his own controls or maybe a tank of goo to sit in?

>>22629080
I don't think Obari will be back to do anything like that because apparently he said he doesn't like drawing people much, and because Angel Blade feels like an outlier next to Orgun, Virus, Bravern, Gravion, Ordian and other shows he created/directed. Plus high budget porn era is long gone.

>>22629180
no idea, but since the novel specify bravern's colors (red/green/white) when he crashes in times square probably means that isami is inside, at least it what i understood from fans speculating on the last part

If Bravern was a classic 50 episode show we would get the episode where the evil/black bravern timeline crashes in the current one. <br>you think it will be very dramatic and serious but why i have the feeling it would end being around isami being bullied by the evil alters while smith is having an existential crisis locked up somewhere

for an original robot show that is not tied to gundam or other popular franchise it did well

Bravern came with the art booklet and novel, so it still has the appeal of exclusive goods. I had a look at TGCF's Japanese release, and aside from a large poster its sales are likely affected by having 6-7 episodes per volume, and offering both Japanese and Chinese audio (something Japanese streaming sites didn't all carry). Even if we consider both series cult hits, one has had longer to hype and build up a fanbase who wants to spend money on it (TGCF had fan translations in Japanese before its official license there, and people would buy foreign language editions to collect the art).

>>22630244

It's a bit complex, but let's just say that "concept" Bravern is not a bad thing, but is a bit troubling the way shippers use it.
Maybe a normal person would think "oh cool, who helped Smith became Bravern and gave its powers was some God or the Power of Bravery" but for those people, Bravern is Bravern and Smith was a part of Bravern and he's not him.
So no longer the Bravern=Smith but the opposite thing as Smith being an ingredient along with Cunus and Orthus.
But anyway about this there are many official statements that clarify this situation, magazines, radio etc so this argument it's more of an headcanon than actual canon.

But about Smith's situation in the novel.
I have ideas but since there is no english translation whatever i say might be wrong and not in line with what is written in the novel (but i read quite many different and conflictual thoughts, so not even japanese fans can agree on it).
Like you said, he probably is having an identity crisis, more specifically related to Himself and his Bravern persona which is why in that letter he uses two different "I" in the same way Bravern use "watashi and Smith "ore", or doesn't sign the letter as Smith but as Bravern (but he's just being weeb imo) but I don't think it's an identity crisis where his Bravern self is taking control of his human body but more a classical dilemma of the hero who has an alter ego.
And things are even more complicated when your alter ego is your past self, because "concept Bravern" or not, what we see from episode 1 are two different Lewis Smith, one coming from the the future to the past and the other living the current present not knowing what's going to happen to him.

So, tl;dr the novel include Smith's alter go crisis) because was something that the show didn't explicitly touch and probably was needed because is a important theme for any Hero who hide his identity from their loved ones for a greater good/purpose.

taking a break means months at best and years at worst if he doesn't have anything else that his agency doesn't want to disclose, like many voice actors (and idols) easily develop nodules in their throat/vocal cord.
Anyway, he might not attend the the event in August since there is also a live drama reading.

Front Mission 2 Remake is not fun.
It feels like a job.
Worst part is that I can't grind skills in the arena and then just blast through the game like 1.
Enemies' shields are a fucking bitch.
And sometimes they just skill-chain me to death in one attack, while my dudes rarely chain even 2 skills with feint.
Am I supposed to save scum this game?
Am I missing some broken strategy, like arena skill grinding in FM1 or Ryogo soloing in FM3?
Also what the fuck SKILL stat on computer means?

Play through the tutorial, 2 is a massive leap in complexity relative to 1 and does some needlessly convoluted stuff with how it handles action points.<br>Game plays like it expected you to read a nonexistent manual though, which makes sense since the game was originally made back when instruction manuals were the norm!

>>22619225
>>22619225
>Worst part is that I can't grind skills in the arena and then just blast through the game like 1.
In original Front Mission 2, you could farm in arena whenever it was available, at least for the moneys
Funny huh
>Am I missing some broken strategy, like arena skill grinding in FM1 or Ryogo soloing in FM3?
In original FM2 the success was in not making multi-weapon-type loadouts per Wanzer AT ALL. Except -maybe- putting different long-range weapons on your designated units with AoE attacks, but that's the most of it. IIRC it was about some accuracy penalties from too much load and that practically all weapon skills were hard-tied to very specific weapon types

All of this may be useless for remaster, but maybe someone out there will decide to check the superior original

>>22620559
>superior original
Emutrannies have no skin in this game, the load times are unacceptable.

>>22619225
I don't think it's a remake problem. Original 2 was already strict enough about which build you should focus on for each character. You just have to learn about AP debuffs against enemies by surrounding them, and learn which type of weapons you should be using the moment you get a new character. Both the original and the remake work very similarly, the only difference is that remake is much faster and the original has cool modular sprites and cool 3D animations.

>>22620559
I can farm infinite money, but it doesn't help much, as game won't sell me gear that I'm not supposed to have yet anyways.

>>22621359
I'm just loading everyone with machine guns, just like 1, and pray every time for skill chain, that would demolish an enemy.
Circling bosses to disable them works relatively well, yeah.

Also I kinda hate how my boy Zenith looks in the remake. It barely resembles itself.
Tiny ass feet is the worst part. Zeniths always had huge stompers.
1st Remake's models are much better.
I hope 3 Remake will make it more accurate to the original's renders.

If I remember correctly, the same thing happened in the original. Royd and the other guy ending as disposable mobs (Royd was the only one with a unique portrait too) in a throwaway encounter was such a dirty thing to do but I guess it was supposed to be in the spirit of the setting.

It turns out that Front Mission is just an incredibly bipolar franchise that ping pongs between the banality of normal war-criming and the coked out insanity of a sci fi conspiracy thriller.

It feels like complete shit but if you think about it, it really is the only option Royd has. I mean, he was already an independent guerilla fighter (read: domestic terrorist) by the end of 1.

Wasn't the original concept "Ultimate Coordinator" kind of vain according to the flashback in SEED as it just meant that the baby will come out without any deviation? I sometimes wonder how it eventually turned Kira into this uber pilot that made even most Coordinators like chumps

>>22619805

>>22619805

>Wasn't the original concept "Ultimate Coordinator" kind of vain according to the flashback in SEED as it just meant that the baby will come out without any deviation? I sometimes wonder how it eventually turned Kira into this uber pilot that made even most Coordinators like chumps

If think the idea is that even coordinators that are seemingly perfectly physically can still have small deviations from the "formula" that lowers their ability compared to the "ideal coordinator" that's implemented perfectly, while Kira IS that ideal made flesh.

Although in Aura's case she wanted to modify things further and didn't consider the model Kira followed the best one, thus why she considers him a failure.

>>22619392
Glenn had the better idea of Coordinators being more about the goals to better humanity than genetic type.

>>22619434
She could also be considering him a failure just out of how his character developed and because he's not an arrogant shitbag who wants to overthrow the world with his genetics then he's a failure. Just like how they all gradually got more and more pissed with Lacus because she was actually humble and thought they were all nuts and wanted nothing to do with their crazy plan.

It's like how post Angel Down Durandal laments that Kira was wasted potential and useless in the end because he was raised as a regular dude that didn't care for combat and just wanted to be left alone rather than if he'd been raised to be a warrior from birth slaughtered anyone ordered to without hesitation and had no room for unnecessery worries.

>>22619392

>>22623189
>It's like how post Angel Down Durandal laments that Kira was wasted potential and useless in the end because he was raised as a regular dude that didn't care for combat and just wanted to be left alone rather than if he'd been raised to be a warrior from birth slaughtered anyone ordered to without hesitation and had no room for unnecessery worries.

You're selling Durandal short here. When he made that comment, there was nothing to imply he wanted Kira to be an mindless robot.

Kira really is a great pilot, and Durandal's correct to note that he would never have been able to make use of this immense talent if not for the random circumstances that got him into the Strike. Even if it's for fighting, it would have been tragic to let that talent go to waste.

>>22624293
>>22623189
I really wish that Fukuda just pivot to Durandal being a total gray-tier villain and that Gil had standards and those standards set him to abandon the Accords.

>>22624296
Durandal's already one of the most accomplishment heads of state in Gundam. Only that guy from IBO did better. And the movie at least does him credit by having Kira seriously consider that he was right all along. Even the Destiny Plan isn't *that* bad considering what both sides were trying to do in the first war. But I agree it would have great to get a flashback where he tells the Accords to fuck off.

>>22624293
>When he made that comment, there was nothing to imply he wanted Kira to be an mindless robot.

Not a mindless robot, but certianly someone that didn't overthink fighting in war and just killed whoever he was told to without caring about them unlike what he developed into thanks to the circumstances of having a friend of the opposite side and then meeting up with Lacus. Durandal thinks Kira would be better being like Shinn and just slicing up whoever he was told without feeling bad for them.

However this is mostly self serving as Durandal wants Kira to be someone who would obey his given authority figure without question which in Durandal's ideal world would be Durandal himself. Hence why he tries to mold Shinn into his equivalent. It's like how he says the same to Athrun, he thinks too much about the other side and if what he's doing is for the good of the world when that should be up to people like Durandal to worry about and he should just kill who he's told and go home happy and without worry.

>>22624296
>>22624313
>Having Durandal abandoning Aura and the Accords
Is that even possible when most of the flashback bits and pieces pretty much implied "GIL WAS A FATHER TO US!!!" to them?

>>22624448
It either has to be or half the stuff Durandal said and did, even to trusted people like Rey and Rau was all bullshit and he was really just another nut on Aura's crazy train all along.

>>22619835
I can't believe they joked about mighty strike freedom 20 years ago

Kira is an aimbotter and script kiddie.

>I sometimes wonder how it eventually turned Kira into this uber pilot that made even most Coordinators like chumps
Because the ultimate coordinator is also the ultimate human being. Coordinators were literally made to be peak humanity. As Kira put it, the potential that coordinators hold is the dream of every human, the desire to be the best of the best in every regard, to have maximum potential as a human being. Faster, stronger, more attractive, smarter, healthy, etc. Normal coordinators fall short of that ultimate ideal due to defects introduced by the natural womb

Yeah, and he'd still kick your ass

As good as Kira is, Athrun is consistently presented as even better, at least as long as Athrun's not in the Savior. Kira's pretty jacked in terms of raw stats because of his genetics, but I always thought it was also clear he was molded into the powerhouse that he is by his experiences and not just because he was born gifted.

Even Durandal understood that Kira's experiences were just as important as his nature. That's why he tried to cargo-cult Shinn into becoming a second Kira by giving him a similar ship with a similar Gundam and creating three similar prototype Gundams to let the Alliance steal so that Shinn would get into fights similar to the ones that Kira got into.

Athrun will never be better.
He is the sidekick, nothing more.

Wasn't that Rau's rambling during their meeting in Mendel?

Athrun mostly shines when Kira falters, like in the movie. Kira has maximum operating capacity, meaning he CAN surpass all other coordinators when operating on all cylinders, but no mortal can actually be perfect, like akin to a god. That's exactly what happens to Kira in the movie. Under pressure the illusion of Jesus Yamato comes crumbling down and we see the mortal underneath and we even see the limits of the perfect coordinator when faced against the Accords, which is ironic because the broken and imperfect Kira defeats the superior Accords alongside Lacus, who rejected the plan she was made to fulfill. The movie does a good job making good on Kira's words to Sai in spirit.

It is a pity that even though the site is still up but all the animations had been taken down a few months ago

He at least writes his own scripts and aimbots unlike you who have to do falseflag operations to acquire and reverse engineer them

And you're just Rey in a fur coat

Given that politicians like to use nutty extremists as muscles to enforce their will (like the SA to the Nazi Party), it could be the case that Durandal lied to Aura to make her and her children into useful pawns -- at the very least they could weaken the Eurasia Federation. Had the Destiny Plan succeeded, Durandal would've had able to contain nutcases like Aura, but it didn't and he died.

So he is Jesus.

Literally, Jesus, the Jews also wanted a warlord but God gave them a holy man whose highest form of violence was whipping them for ripping people off in their temples with bullshit and wanting to guide people to essentially an ascetic but peaceful lifestyle.
