Brave Animated Series

Based on the very famous mobile game that i used to play from Googleplay (Brave) as well as from the comics that im not familiar with.

The animation style and design was very original to the source material and the game itself.

The sound tracks/scores also adopted from the game itself, hence nothing new nor extraordinary for me.

The voice castings were perfect for me, i watched on its original language debut (mandarin). The intro and outro songs were totally groovy but not so memorable. Main characters were based on the starter characters (level one) and weak monsters. The skills set were very grand with explosion of colors which were really cool to watch on a bigger screen.

The storyline was okay, not that common and not that new as im aware of such plot from other famous franchises. Very straight forward flow with exciting and bright tome setup. Falls in action/adventure category. A bit comedic and emotional. Great world building aspect and characters developments.

Theres 6 episodes in season 1 & each episode runs over 40 minutes. Few scenes indicate that it might be not for younger childrens but still highly recommended.

What a pleasant surprise.

🅱rave is a 2021 🇹🇼Taiwanese release that was adapted from a Taiwanese comic series. It is 1 season consisting of a mere 6 24-minute Mandarin speaking episodes with English subtitles.

It takes a page from Prime's The Boys, in that these heroes ain't always heroic. It also borrows heavily from Chinese fantasy templates in that there are different races (human, demon, Heavenly realm), but special powers aside, they are just like humans and the issue is racism. If the issue is racism, then the issue is, in reality, pride.

Our hero realizes early in the show that he is an operative for an institution that no longer adheres to its own principles. It's rotted from within. Other heroes are not protecting the citizens: They are beating up on defenseless beings merely to increase XP. He stops merely going through the motions and thinks... Then he quickly reaches the point where he can't go with the flow anymore. No more 🙈🙉🙊. The show is actually pretty rough, but it ends up quite heartwarmingl.

🅱 is drawn in simplified CGI. The colors are bold and often dark. The look of it is fresh and original. People are drawn crudely with simple lines. Backgrounds are minimalist but often lovely. I think the choice to go with simplicity is to reinforce the concept that these issues are simple. It isn't that it's difficult to figure out what the right thing to do is. It's, rather, that doing the right thing is almost always the hard option, and it usually puts us at odds with the crowd. Overall, the message is positive. 🅱 is absolutely worth the small time investment.

There's bonus material after the black and white credits so fast forward to the end.

When people go from "How do I survive?" to "What am I living for?" it would be considered progress.
