Series: Brave Series

The Brave Series (勇者シリーズ) is a toy and animation franchise that began after toy company Takara had ended Transformers in Japan. Following a decline in the series’ popularity, Takara struck a cooperative deal with the animation studio Sunrise 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.
