The odd couple collaborations are back
The Brave robot anime franchise saw a return to form this year with Brave Bang Bravern! The series modernized the boy-with-giant-robot trope for late-night anime by changing it to a man with his giant robot.
It was only fitting that Bravern! collaborates with another franchise about a man and his companion: Venom with Eddie Brock and his alien symbiote. The official X (formerly Twitter) accounts for the two projects debuted the collaboration on October 23, with the anime’s account revealing a poster of its characters Isami Ao, Lewis Smith, Lulu, and Bravern watching the Venom: The Last Dance movie. In turn, Venom’s account posted a video featuring Isami being interrogated about the upcoming film:

I was surprised when I first heard about it, but when I heard the catchphrase, ‘Our Partners Are Not Human,’ I thought, ‘I see!’ Both movies are exciting stories about different species of buddies who rely on each other to save the world, so please enjoy Venom: The Last Dance and Kitarō Tanjō: Gegege no Nazo Shinsei-ban this fall.” Toru Yatabe
