The Winter Season Begins!: First Impressions Part VII

Brave 10  Released: Jan. 8th 2012  Studio: TMS Entertainment  Genre: Action/Adventure/Comedy

Initial Thoughts: One of the members of my anime club posted the trailer for this one on our Facebook group's wall, and it looks gorgeous. TMS Entertainment has been around for a while, working on everything from Case Closed and Lupin III to Bakugan and D. Gray-man, so they must be doing something right. Let's just hope this is as badass as it looks, with as many battles as Sengoku Basara or Basilisk.

Post-credits Verdict: This looks like a solid effort from TMS. The show is a creative take on Japanese history which seems to have struck a nice balance between action and comedy. The animation during the fight sequences is pretty fluid, and the dialogue, while campy, is period-appropriate. As a swashbuckling adventure tale that doesn't take itself too seriously, Brave 10 should have something for everyone. I wouldn't be surprised to see this develop a cosplay following at anime conventions to come. If you're looking for a solid action adventure plot with tight, well-executed action scenes, look no further.
