Brave 34.

Hey look, more attempts to streamline continuity while only making it more muddled and convoluted! I was going to actually write my questions down so we could discuss them, but by the fifth minute I had so many I realised it would be hopeless of me to write this critique any differently than how you are reading it now.

As ever though the action was pretty great, Daigo's Dad is a badass and I wanna soak in every scene I can with Grey. Bragigas was surprisingly well realised, I loved seeing the camera pan out to capture the carnage of the battles while this mega robot raises up behind them. Plus that Fisherman Deboss, despite being so goofy, was actually pretty badass.

Not sure how to feel about Bragigas' humanoid form, though. The weapon was ridiculous and not in a fun way, and I dunno something about the design and the colours, it wasn't horrible but there was just something I couldn't stand that I can't put my finger on. Oh also the fact that it's primarily piloted by Daigo, fucks sake.

Plus, why was it so small? It looked like it was the same size as Fisherman, despite dwarfing them before. Then again the scale in sentai has always been a fucking nightmare, going from standing shoulder to shoulder next to real buildings to suddenly towering over them when they become miniatures.

Also lol at the final scene where they forgot to move Chaos mouth despite being in close up and allegedly speaking. This episode was dumb in so many ways, and none of them good.
