Line 6:
* '''Professor Otaku''', who produces the review series "Anime Dissection" and "OVA 101."
* '''Arkada''', who produces the anime review called "Glass Reflection." He wears a lab coat during his reviews, which makes him vaguely reminiscent of [[Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog|Dr. Horrible]].
* '''[[Jesu OtakuJesuOtaku]]''', who produces a review segment simply entitled "The [[Jesu OtakuJesuOtaku]] Anime Review". She is much more analytical than the other reviewers, using a four-star rating system. She tries to be objective and may give high scores to shows that she doesn't personally like. She also produced her "summer project", an audio drama adaptation of [[Fruits Basket]], every Wednesday throughout summer 2011.
* '''Vixen''', who produces the "Kit-Suki" review series. Her review style is very informal, and quite [[Red Oni, Blue Oni|opposite to her fellow reviewer]] [[Jesu OtakuJesuOtaku]]. In addition to reviewing anime, she sometimes reviews Western films (most of them [[Disney]]) in her "Film Fox" review series.
* '''Malakye''', who administers the DesuDes message board and produces the anime news segment called Pocky Spot. He has a cute, [[Vocaloid]], evil assistant called Tsubake. Now has two of his own review series, "Mal's Monthly Manga" and "Sake Shots".
* '''Tsubake''', Mal's Vocaloid assistant who wants to [[Kill All Humans]], Vixen in particular. She kills people on a regular basis and hates everyone.
Line 52:
** Professor Otaku would have liked it after reviewing ''[[Kekko Kamen]]''.
* [[Brick Joke]]: In Prof's ''[[Princess Tutu]]'' review, he said "What next? Do I watch ''[[Prétear]]''? How about ''[[Fushigi Yuugi]]''? Why not just grow a nice pair of BOOBS while I'm at it?" Half a year later, he's reviewed the first, about to review the second and the third? [[Gender Bender|Well...]]
* [[Breakup Breakout]]: Deconstructed. Rather than [[Jesu OtakuJesuOtaku]] leaving the brigade after joining up with [[That Guy With The Glasses]], she still tried to be a loyal brigadier, and her newfound popularity did in fact bring in more viewers to the Brigade's site; however, her indecisiveness coupled with her [[Attention Defecit Creator Disorder|ADCD]] caused her to grow increasingly distant from the Brigade, unofficially breaking off from it about a year from its official disbandment.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Rin, one of their fans and Vixen's close friend. They make lots of fat jokes about her, lots and lots of fat jokes.
* [[Caustic Critic]]: Professor Otaku, mainly, though Vixen gets like this sometimes, too.
Line 93:
** [[The Lancer]]: Arkada
** [[The Big Guy]]: Malakye
** [[The Smart Guy]]: [[Jesu OtakuJesuOtaku]]
** [[The Chick]]: Vixen
** [[Sixth Ranger]]: Tsubake, Kagami, Hitch, and Rabbit
Line 99:
* [[Fun with Subtitles]]: In the promotion for the first annual Taishi awards, the brigadiers made several videos where the subtitles had anime characters hawk the Taishis, often while talking like gangstas.
** In the ''[[Magic Knight Rayearth]]'' review, Professor Otaku had quite a bit of fun with this. Or rather, the rest of the Brigade had fun at his expense.
** While introducing the review for ''[[Now and Then, Here and There]]'', JesuOtaku gets into a fight with the Red Snark Titles.
* [[Gainaxing]]: They call it wibble though.
* [[Gender Flip]]: Prof got this at the end of his ''[[Prétear]]'' review, lasting until near the end of ''[[Fushigi Yuugi]]''.
* [[Gilligan Cut]]: Done twice in Arkada's ''[[Princess Tutu]]'' review. The first time was after declaring that in no way was he ever going to review the aforementioned series. The second time was declaring that he was definitely not following it up with a ''[[Cardcaptor Sakura]]'' review, which is then subverted when he's instead shown watching ''[[Baccano!]]!'' after the Gilligan Cut.
* [[Go Mad Fromfrom the Revelation]]: Vixen and Stevenlajr at the end of the ''The [[Twilight (novel)|Twilight]] Saga: New Moon'' review.
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: Prof's and Hitch's friendship implies this.
** [[Romantic Two-Girl Friendship|Vixen and Rabbit]] take it even further.
Line 132:
* [[One Steve Limit]]: Coincidentally, Prof.'s real name is CJ Irelan and Hitch's is CJ Hitchcock.
** It helps that the members all refer to each other by their stage names.
* [[Opposite SexGender Clone]]: Prof's aforementioned [[Gender Bender]] ended in this the male and female forms becoming seperate people towards the end of the review. [[A Wizard Did It|How exactly that happened is never explained.]]
* [[The Password Is Always Swordfish]]: Blink and you'll miss it, but during the Red Scorpion "Luck Be a Lady" radio drama, featuring a red-tinted Green Hornet, the titular character uses this as a password before smashing down a door.
* [[Perverse Sexual Lust]]: Vixen's "List of Disney Boys I Would Bang": [[Mulan|Li Shang]] and [[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]].
Line 140:
* [[Put on a Bus]]: What Hitch did to the gag characters Steve and Joe from his earlier reviews.
* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]: "Real men watch ''Princess Tutu''." And indeed, ''Tutu'' has been shown a couple of times on the Manime Monday stream.
** See also Prof's love of ''[[Super GalsGALS!]]'' and ''[[Angelic Layer]]''.
** All of the boys are fans of ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]''.
* [[Real Women Never Wear Dresses]]: Comes up in-universe in Vixen's vids.
