And Bravern 1+2 dropped last night. I'd say go in without spoilers for the best effect, but that's hard to do these days. It was a LOT of fun though, but man is it an Obari series. They even have the main robot do an Obari pose as the eyecatch.
Essentially a comedy/mild parody of mecha anime in general. Isami and Smith are mecha pilots in a real robot setting, practicing in a wargame on Hawaii. And then a vastly superior force of aliens land and start blowing **** up. Right when everything seems lost, Bravern, a Yuusha style super robot lands and saves every.
It's pretty hilarious, although most of that is due to the tone shifting. One moment you have someone undergoing 'enhanced interrogation', the next you have a giant talking robot shouting about Justice before transforming into a flying car as his theme music blasts out of his speakers. A lot of the humor is of that nature, with the juxtaposition between Bravern, a very loud, hotblooded sapient robot, and the no-nonsense and confused humans who dont quite realize they've switched genres yet. Isami Bravern's chosen pilot, just has a deer in headlights look through most of this.
