Takara Pandora Box

Publisher: Takara · Developer: Pandora Box

The Brave series is a toy and animation franchise that began after toy company Takara had ended the animated "Generation One" storyline of Transformers in Japan. Following a decline in the series' popularity that led to the cancellation of the OVA series Transformers: Zone, Takara struck a cooperative deal with the animation studio Sunrise (known for its mecha series, most notably Gundam) to develop a new franchise and set of toy lines. The franchise, in fact, would play a key role in the reintroduction of the Super Robot genre to the Japanese mainstream in the 1990s. It is worth noting that Sunrise's official Yuusha web site considers Brave Saga the ninth Brave series, even though it was not fully produced. It was the main robot for the game Brave Saga, which was released on the Playstation. Sunrise even produced animated transformation and merging sequences to go with the game and a fully animated intro. Yuusha show involves a young boy (usually in jr.high) who ether stumbles upon an object that grants him the ability to call upon a robot. Or the robot enlists the help of a boy (usually in Jr.high) while trying to save the world.
