Exactly 20 years ago yesterday, Brave Exkaiser, the first in the Brave Series of super robot shows, premiered.

Happy Anniversary, Brave Heroes! :buttrock:
 
Try Brave Express Might Gaine. I've seen the first episode of it, and its music is pretty darn awesome.

Now if ONLY I could find the rest of the series... :disappoin
 
The others are all less good than GaoGaiGar and few are translated completely. So it's mostly a matter of what you like to see.

I would wager Da Garn is the best of them since the ending is completely amazing. It had the same writer as GaoGaiGar so the show's plot is very good once it heats up. It has a lackluster OP / ED so fans tend to pass it over, but give it a chance.

Exkizer and Fighbird are more episodic. Fighbird is the more enjoyable of the two though its quality fluctuates a lot from episode to episode. Ezkizer has a lot of comedy and is generally more silly, more of a kid's show.

Might Gaine is kind of halfway between Da Garn and Fighbird. It sort of has some plot arcs but they come into play erratically. It launched a lot of major 90s seiyuu which can make it an interesting historical watch. The ending is really interesting as an expression of the eternal tension between toy sellers and show creators.

J-Decker is a cop show parody and can be really, really funny. It's almost pure comedy, though, with a few memorable intense action scenes here and there. Goldran is also almost pure comedy and a very good one, but it has a bit more in the way of plot arcs. Its action is not very memorable, though.

Dagwon was a victim of "Samurai Troopers formula" and as a result is an extremely uneven show. It has some decent episodes, some truly awful ones, and very little overall plot. It's probably the Brave series I like the least, since it feels very phoned-in compared to the others.
 
Speaking of Brave Series, which ones should I watch? I've only seen GaoGaiGar.

As siad, Might Gaine, but it's better to start w/ ExKaiser, all the way until GaoGaiGar FINAL.

oh and Happy 20th, Braves. hope this year A few of them will be in the next SRW as a anniversary tribute, or a new Brave Saga game for at least the PS2, PS3 or PSP (minus the non-brave ones and w/ the Eldrans).
