what?.. the first one, the one in ch17.2 clearly looks like a gundam straight from g gundam series...this one looks like straight from power rangers megazoid(or that combining giant robot thingy)...
@zetsuravez
That’s how the Brave Series works though. It’s animated by Sunrise, the same people who make Gundam, so it looks Gundam-y in the anime, but the toys are marketed towards kids, so they’re gonna look like toy robots marketed towards kids. Aka, they’re gonna look like Power Rangers toys.
(Also, Megazord. A Zoid is a different type of robot animal).
And since this is a Brave parody, that means the ““animated”” version from the previous chapter will look Gundam-adjacent, while the ““toy”” version from this chapter will look PR-adjacent.
@pokperson1000 It's the end but my account doesn't have the ability to mark it, and I'm unclear on what Mangadex's current system is for getting those privileges.
@HaikenEdge There's not really a toy. It's just that this whole thing was a riff on a franchise that was all about selling merch, so the author's imagining what the hypothetical toys would look like.
@HaikenEdge If that is the last doodle of the series, it's very on the nose. That's what Brave largely was, Transformers wasn't all that different. The Brave series was a project between Sunrise and Takara, so pushing toys was heavily the point- the series' claim was how accurate the animes would depict the transformation and combination mechanics on the characters relative to the toys themselves: how you see HyoRyuu and EnRyuu combine into ChoRyuuJin in GGG is exactly how their toys do it.
One of the most impactful moments of Brave Express Might Gaine was a twist that heavily tied into the fact these shows were, like many series and IP, were glorified toy ads and likely reflected a slight writers' revolt against Takara pushing for cramming more stuff into the episodes at the expense of character and plot.
