panel1) Now for a little explanation!!
*- a LITTLE??? this explanation takes up 2 damn pages!!! a little my ass!!-
b1) What is Blade Braver!!
panel1) It was made over 10 years ago, the 20th in a series of Hero battle shows. // Although the 20th of its type, it was made a little differently from its predecessors and was a bigger hit.
panel2) The story was of course a hit with the littles ones, but it also appealed to adults. // There were cases where the adults watching, especially fathers, were hooked more than the kids.
panel3) There were even big-shots in the acting world who got their start in this series!!
b1) Really?
b2) That's cool!!
panel4) Even for the minor details, a lot of effort was put in. Specially for the weapons, it was almost as if the real thing was being used. Because of that, this series' items have the highest net sales ever.
b3) I want it.
b4) But it for me!!
