Lewis, dejected that Bravern could not pilot him, finds a rather peculiar alien girl washed ashore...but who exactly is she?

The aftermath of the Superbia attack leaves many casualties, but whom they can't attend to now, is the same exact girl he picked up from the beach. At the very least, Bravern is now accepted as part of the force to prepare and train for the attacks from the Deathdrives. Isami's former buddy Honoka Suzunagi apologizes for her earlier actions, but then again, could not force Isami to come out of Bravern's cockpit.

Once again, the Deathdrives come attacking the coast from underwater, but Isami doesn't want to be associated anymore with Bravern, but still has to do it anyways. While Lewis is resuscitating the alien girl, the underwater combat continues, though without Isami, Bravern could not perform to his best, which its attack is the infamy of old Tokusatsu shows. But while Lewis manage to hold out the alien girl Lulu, Bravern get blasted away to the motel where both stood.

The alien girl Lulu, what's her purpose?

This anime continue to parody its genre, so if it's gonna play by book, then at some point Lewis will get to ride a super robot too, unlikely to be Bravern. I hope he'll continue to work with Isami, but there's a chance they'll be on the opposite side since just like the proverb two tigers cannot share the same mountain, two super robots cannot share the same base.

So Lulu is a newborn alien right? At least that's what the shot of the turtle laying the egg was implying. Bravern's probably an alien born on Earth too given how he knows a lot about Earth culture and Isami.

Shu-ba-ba-ba! this show is trolling us!

Happy to see that's it's not just repeating the same joke from the last episode but actually building towards something and YES Bravern is absolutely behind this mass and is absolutely making it up as he goes. I wont be surprised if it's both Obari and Suzumura themselves are also inside of him, just laughing their asses off.

I'm calling it. Next week Bravern proposes a fighting tournament for pilots from all around the world and he tells Isami to use Shining finger.

you can't imagine how happy i am that this show has the same goofy sense of humor as the old brave shows. some staples are still missing though: combining robots, an apex 5-way combining robot, and aliens who transform non-mecha things into giant robots. once those are revealed we'll really be cooking.

The turtle laying eggs on the beach matches with Lulu's apparent origin as an alien baby.
With Smith hung up on Bravern's rejection (who favours reluctant hero Isami) I think he will get the "be careful what you wish for" treatment and end up piloting one of the Deathdrives.

Hawaii base's current occupants form NEST with Bravern. He should be careful not to step on his newfound Earthling allies during training!

yeah, how does Isami go...does Bravern's cockpit have that one feature G-Reco MS have lol
While Isami narrowly misses a chance at freedom, Smith finds the red-eyed blue-haired girl in his motel room not breathing and we get a mishearing-CPR-as-sex joke to remind us why this isn't shown to kids at 7am in Japan.

Smith can't use a defibrillator on NotTRei without taking off the NotPlugsuit. Her Deathdrive instincts have reacted to Smith's hands and she starts attacking him.

Bravern can't talk underwater and so covers his rather human face with the same mask he uncovered when he debuted. I think he himself was originally a Deathdrive but became interested in Earth pop culture after overhearing the noisy planet Earth's TV and radio signals. In addition to knowing Earth's languages like German and Japanese, he is also familiar with James Cameron's The Abyss (this predates Evangelion's LCL by about 6 years).

Smith accidentally hits a button dissolving her suit (the same tech as what made Isami's clothes disappear in Bravern's cockpit?). Not before long, she calms down. Could the Deathdrives brainwash/control her through the suit?

21:59 Bravern gives birth to Isami into a puddle of amniotic fluid. Isami and Shinji would have a lot to talk about when this gets into Super Robot Wars.

Obari has graced us with the privilege of seeing Isami's naked body the entire episode. Even if there was absolutely no narrative reason to do so. Because seeing Isami's naked body is pretty nice πŸ‘Œ. (Also we got to see Lulu's naked body too, but who gives a shit about women, amirite fellas?)

Also, I appreciate the realism of the locker room scene having the women wear sports bras. No lacy lingerie for you fellas. Only practical and comfortable support! 😌 I know I ain't wearing underwire at the end of the world.

So when do we get a foursome with Isami × Smith × Bravern × Lulu? It's gonna be difficult to portray, but I think the show can pull it off. (Someone here mentioned that you can sometimes merge mechas. So if Lulu and Smith can share a super robot and merge with Bravern and Isami, the foursome is not too far off!)

Smith is in his cuck era this entire episode lmao.

Quite the fanservice with Isami and Lewis today ^^'

Still not sure where the show is going, but I'm enjoying it. It's funny and Lulu is interesting!

And then there's Isami's bi- no, pansexual(?) harem of a robot, his new buddy and a girl who seems to like him a little too much. It's... something else, I guess :D

Why aren't more people watching this? It's honestly the funniest anime of this season!
  • There's poor Lewis, crushed by rejection (by Bravern) even having PTSD Nightmares about it.
  • Lewis flirts with a court martial, exhibiting piss poor decision making, taking what is CLEARLY a girl, IN A PLUGSUIT to a motel, where the landlady gives him a nod/wink. WTF did he not watch Evangelion? Any anime otaku would have known to bring her to the authorities for ... questioning and/or dissection because we are losing, and we need intelligence on the enemy.
  • Of course the only intelligence is from Bravern, who tells them all what the enemy's weaknesses are, and how to win against them (shields frontal, side/rear/up/down attacks will land)
  • Then ... there's the TRAINING MONTAGE! Hahahahaha. The training is so tough, the ladies are screaming when Lewis (with purple shadows under his eyes) walks into their dressing room, and he doesn't even "see" them he's so tired. That just pisses them off even more as any woman would be understandably offended, geez.
  • That tired Lewis returns to the motel, the girl seems dead! He's giving her CPR shouting "Come on! COME on!" and the folks in the next room are in awe at his vigorous "performance," they use that as motivation for more sexy time.
  • An underwater enemy attacks, Bravern volunteers to help, Isami and he bicker like an old married couple before they go off to help
  • "Wait, why is his name appearing on the Radar??" LMAO!
  • Cue The Abyss mention as the "plug" in Bravern fills with breathable gel. From a logic standpoint, this is true, if the pressure isn't equalized, the gas expands and the cockpit will explode. This is Dr. Stone level of science!
  • Sha ba ba ba ba ... LMAO!
  • They win but go blasting off like Team Rocket - someone make this a GIF please!
  • Lewis hits the wrong button, the girl wakes up, they fignt. Just as he's about to lose he hits the right button and her clothes go flying off leaving her naked! He's on top of her when Braven crashes into the motel, and Isami is ANGERED that Lewis is fucking around while he's busy fighting to save them all!
  • Isami is ejected in a pile of goop, right on top of the naked couple. Ooo everyone is going to see all the good and think they just finished some freaky threesome. Aaah!

OMG I need to breath, the laughs just kept coming. That ... was great. This show needs memes, gifs and more word of mouth advertising. Just so much fun.

I don't care that much about her, but If her purpose is to create a heterosexual romance in my yaoi mecha anime, then she has to leave and disappear for good XD. At least Lewis being completely disinterested in women's bodies is promising ahah

I am gonna bet Bravern was also a baby alien that Isami actually knew in the past (maybe some kind of childhood friend troop) but he forgot about. This show is comedy gold for the mecha genre.

Started watching this because folks on twitter were calling it a "gay mecha anime" and well, it's certainly pretty gay in some ways because of Bravern and Isami's "relationship"
As for the tone, right now it's going back and forth between being a self-parody and trying to take itself seriously once the fighting starts happening. Will at least give it a couple more episodes to see where it's gonna go with the story and tone. But right now I'm entertained.

The first episode was a straightforward war drama, the second one was a comedy, and it seems this one is trying to be both. Although I think I enjoyed this installment, the inconsistent tone is sometimes jarring and makes it hard to follow. I hope the series is able to find a balance soon.

Not much to say about Lulu yet, my first impression is that she's a Tchii with martial arts abilities.

-The first scene...Jesus -Why is the gay robot from episode 1 more and more gay?MC is molested?I think I have accepted what this anime is and I like it xD I wonder how the rest of the world is able to defend itself against the invaders, ours they had no chance of winning if it weren't for Bravern. The best part of this ep was the new space waifu, she is so cute. Now I think that this anime is really underrated, I wonder what the situation is like in Japan

Lmao I had more fun watching Lulu beat the shit out of Smith than bravern fight. That girl, Honoka though.

So did Lulu hatch from those alien mechas like how the turtle hatch was shown? Is she that blue mecha by any chance? Bravern might have a human form too in that case.
