Courageous Bang Bravern! Episode 11 begins off cheerfully and ends slightly somberly as we enter the ultimate phases of the preventing.
The opening portion of the episode on the seaside is by far one of the best and most fascinating content material of this week’s episode. Not solely will we see alien robotic lifeforms sampling one of the best cuts of Terran meat, however we additionally see robots consuming meals for the primary time. Sure of us, that is proper, not solely do we now have Bravern tackling Isami to the bottom whereas shouting, “I like you!” on the high of their lungs… er, audio system, we additionally see Superbia making an attempt scrumptious fish. The large ridiculous cutaway joke ala Yakitate!! Japan and comparable works had been additionally enjoyable to throw in right here. It is most likely essentially the most lifelike use of the tasting-things-creates-visions trope I’ve ever seen, since Superbia has by no means consumed meals earlier than. As a sensible robotic as soon as requested, “Why did not anybody inform me that tasting issues tasted so good?”
The precise battle sequences had been additionally fairly thrilling. The large mother-says-we-have-Potemkin-at-home robotic getting punked was fairly humorous, and the shot of him observing the battle like a decapitated head was an amazing recurring bit. Superbia and Bravern each bought to drag off some nice big assaults and I might have been more than pleased if the episode had ended with them shaking fingers and agreeing to do battle and provides it their all within the finale. However in fact it did not finish that approach, and we’re staring down the barrel of the dangerous ending as Bravern’s life blinks out and Isami bleeds. I wasn’t stunned – I’ve seen sufficient tokusatsu to know that the evening of celebration earlier than the ultimate battle is the final second of pleasure the forged will expertise earlier than somebody lastly dies – however I hope it is a pretend outbreak and everybody will get it lashes out. It could be a disgrace if these two weren’t collectively in the long run.
