    ULTRA INSTINCTCAMP! ABSOLUTE TERRITORYABSURDITY! INFINITE POWERWAIT NO DEFINITELY POWER!

    Bravern RADIATES enough deep fried corniness, cheesiness, and ham to feed a midwestern american state fairground for seven consecutive years per episode.

    I love every second of it.

    Especially how the other characters are just barely self-aware enough to be internally (and sometimes externally) screaming WHAT THE FUCK, like they’re experiencing a persistent fever dream, bad trip, or mass-hypnosis.

    It’s nearly my favorite part when Bravern looks DIRECTLY into the camera, yells BANG BRAVERY, and BRAVERN ZUBASHES EVERYTHING and how that literally happens almost every episode.

    My ultimate favorite part, though, is in episode 5, when:

    spoiler

    Isami tells Smith, in the MIDDLE of an impromptu boxing match, “Our enemies don’t make a damn bit of sense. The only way to beat them is with something that makes even less sense, and that’s Bravern.”

    THAT LINE GOES HARD

    it is implied that several things are going hard in that scene though XD
    and that’s goddamn beautiful.

      Oh man, this show grew to become one of my favorites of the season. Just so many jokes and gags in an otherwise super serious story about human extinction. The two sides of the story are woven together so seamlessly and have influenced each other. Just a small example from this episode is when Isami is cutting himself free from being tied up, he says BRAVE ZUBASH. Does he need to do that? Would he have done anything like that early in the season? No, not at all. However, he is getting sucked into the cheesy hero shtick even when Bravern isn’t around, and what would have once felt so out of place for his character feels like it fits perfectly.
