One of the Mecha Anime from the latest Season that I paid attention recently as the Mecha Designs are quite cool but this one came short and not even Obari could even save this one. Bang Brave Bravern is 12-Episode Mecha anime backed by Cygames which features unlikely buddy duo who fight against typical Alien invasion with a sentient unusually Hotblooded mecha who called himself Bravern. If you want to see a glimpse how veteran Male Seiyuus like Kenichi Suzumura and Tomokazu Sugita perform as Yuusha, then Bang Bravern might fulfill the need
I paid Bang Bravern a visit for my Super Robot Mecha fix but what I got is a Mecha series ruined by overkill amount of homoerotic Bara fanservice which is very evident on the Ending song itself. I can't really blame on production team for this one because anime nowadays especially the Mecha ones cannot get proper funding without catering to particular demographics with excessive fanservice which just kills off the interest of the Mecha Fans.
In the end due to the forced deviation that Bang Bravern have to take in order to get airing, this series will just end up like one of those many anime that will be forgotten soon after it finished its airing and ended up as wasted potential, It is such a shame that Bang Bravern had really good mix of Real Robot and Super Robot mecha designs that won't be used to full potential given the state of the end products. However Bang Bravern do get into SRW DD quite early which is a redeeming feature from the Bara BS and probably one of the reason why Obari do decide to lend some help despite the bleak outlook of the series. If Bang Bravern somehow get another season, hopefully they cut some slack on the Bara fanservice.
