The Brave Express Might Gaine

Aired: 1993 - 1994

The fourth title in Sunrise's Brave series, broadcast on TV Asahi from January 1993 to January 1994. Maito Senpuuji, the teenage president of the Senpuuji railway conglomerate, leads the Brave Express Team of transforming super-robots, with his own machine Might Gaine at its core, against the phantom thieves and gigantic mecha criminals who menace Nouvel Tokyo City. The show blends earnest boys' hero entertainment with nods to 1960s Japanese stateless action cinema and self-aware metafiction, and became known for its bullet-train-themed mechs and heartfelt tales of friendship.
