I'm back after a mini break so let's look at an entry into the Brave series.

First some background, the Brave series began as a new franchise to replace the declining popularity of the Transformers franchise in the early 90s in an attempt to jump start the giant robot genre that started losing sway when Gundam was losing profit; after forging a deal with Sunrise, Gundam's owners, the results were mixed to say the least but ironically saved Gundam when they attempted a similar move with G Gundam, as for the Brave series, they didn't get really popular until GaoGaiGar was released, the most recent and last in the franchise and the only one that still has media made from it today.
This review looks at Season 5 J-Decker, in the 21st century, mankind turn to the creation of giant police robots known as the Brave Police. Deckard is our Optimus Prime as a transforming corvette police car created to take out threats deemed too dangerous for humans but during his creation his AI develops emotions when he interacts with ten year old Yuuta, a boy who dresses like Jubilee from the X-Men and a little androgynous with gender as early concepts were meant to depict him as a girl but kept much of the character design.
With Deckard operating better than his specs due to the emotions in his AI, the police chief makes Yuuta a police officer and Deckard's guardian.
More robots arrive in the Brave Police in the form of construction vehicles along with a few other noteworthy robots all with their own unique personalities.
All this is just really corny, it's the type of universe that can only come from an imagination of a ten year old as it becomes fairly obvious when they introduce a genius engineer 12 year old later on and very few questions seem to arise when they leave Deckard in the hands of a stubborn ten year old but chief Saejima does have the heart of a man child at times, it very much follows the tired fomula of a boy and his robot but it can also creep into some weird territory when the prominent female characters get introduced and have crushes on some of the robots.
No dub, most of the Brave series were never released stateside.
Final Verdict: J-Decker behaves like a Transformers cartoon and has all the corniness to go with it, it's pretty harmless but it has elements that make it authentically Japanese to the point of almost parody. I at least can have some fun from it.
