It only gets more wonderfuler
It's a very well written fantasy series with wonderful world building that for once isn't Yet Another Fucking Isekai.
Princess Japan?
But enough about Broly
Is his power maximum?
no no, it's princess yapan, a sequel to everyone's favorite show, overman king gainer
ugh
My best guess is that, and this is a crapshoot based on knowing how Tomino likes to springboard from various things as the genesis of his projects (Turn A was influenced heavily by the Tale of Princess Kaguya, King Gainer is a heavy nod to La Compagnie des Glaces for example), I went refrehsing my memory and the closest thing I can find is very early Japanese history, like some of the earliest out there, the Priestess-Queen Himiko of Yamatai, a country within ancient Japan, who's life is heavily debated among historians:
in lighthearted anime thigns, here's a cute episode of Meow Meow Japanese History about her:

No clue just what form it’d take as an actual show however; again see the original Kaguya and how Turn A interprets those influences
Looks fine to me, maybe a screen/browser thing?
No idea, but it's not happening on my device
Hang on we can get to the bottom of this
hey guys what are we talking about?
Anyways Brave Bang Bravern is the straightest show I have ever seen.
Huh you’re right; flip my phone sidewise and it goes normal.
There’s a weird bug for you
so straight it just sort of wraps around, huh

Swearier? No. Bloodier, mostly not, there are some realistic depictions of injuries and animal meat being butchered, but there are also a few bits of body horror later on. It's not too heavy, but it might be too much for younger kids? But body horror is pretty rare and mild over the whole story. A couple of examples that spring to mind (spoilers obviously)
Yeah, this anime sounds way more unpleasant than it looks.
In kid related news, she got very in to A Whisker Away which is a love story about a girl who turns into a cat. It's very cute, but I'm pretty sure most of the love story and a lot of the darker bits were lost on her on account of the "girl turns into cat" part.

i've never actually watched the movie, but i love the theme song yorushika made for it
was an awful evil thing but I guess my opinion on that is killing him won't bring all those people back either
I think Delicious in Dungeon does not get any more graphic than what you'll see in the first three episodes. It gets a little more serious with PLOT, but the basic level of violence doesn't move to another level.

Magical alien girlfriend is standard fanservice cliche. Naked fight. Random button removes all her clothes. Oh, she lost, now she loves the dude and just wants to glomp.
Which... maybe that says something, but I don't think it says "don't give them time to stew on it, get 'em right to the gallows".
The living armor though.. just perfect.

[part of me thinks it was just to riff on the similar event in Eva with Shinji refusing to get out of 01, particularly given the reveal this episode of the dampening/breathing fluid]
Also once more Bravern demonstrating knowledge about things that he seemingly should not as an alien space robot (before knowing Isami in episode despite never having met before, as indicated by his self-narrative in 2 where he describes it as their first meeting; this time the James Cameron’s Abyss reference)
Very curious about what Lulu’s deal is, given the almost kind of feral way she acted; is she human? A humanoid Alien? She’s definitely connected to Superbia given how we saw things go went at the end of that fight and the start of this episode:
- As Superbia was losing, they took out a pod of some kind and administered it into their core
- The pod was ejected on Superbia’s destruction
- When Smith finds Lulu on the beach, the liquid covering her is the same color as Superbia’s gem-like structures on their armor
- We get a shot of a turtle laying an egg direct after Smith finds her, where they very deliberately depict the mucosal substance around the egg after we’ve just seen Lulu covered in some kind of strange, goopy liquid
- There’s a shot in the opening where a woman, presumably Lulu going by what we can see of her hair, wearing a pendant that looks evocative of Superbia’s design
- We see Bravern can fight without a pilot, but he is far less strong when he does so
- When Bravern injects the force dampening breathing liquid into the cockpit to protect Isami from the pressure and inertia of underwater combat, it’s the same green as his gem-like structures on his armor
If I had to guess, whatever Bravern, Superbia and the other (currently silhouetted) super robots in the OP are, they require some kind of pilot or presence inside them to fight at full strength and capacity, and Lulu’s was that for Superbia. However, given what we see of how Superbia used her pod (which I think we can see wreckage of just a bit into the waves this episode), they seem to be treated as more of a resource than as partners like how Bravern wants Isami to be for him.
