The [[Desu Des Brigade]], abbreviated to the D2Brigade, or incorrectly as the DUD Brigade, was a team of reviewers with the following members:
* '''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 [[Doctor
* '''[[Jesu Otaku]]''', who produces a review segment simply entitled "The [[Jesu Otaku]] 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 Otaku]]. 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 55:
* [[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.
* [[Canada, Eh?]]: Arkada, who really is Canadian.
* [[Catch Phrase]]:
** At the end credits of their respective reviews, Arkada says "Stay Frosty". Similarly, Professor Otaku used to say "Until next week, this is Professor Otaku signing off", which he seems to be bringing back. Vixen makes a little squeaky sound that sounds like 'omo' but she claims her catchphrase is 'I'm going to kill you, Prof'.
Line 69:
** Prof has a mean right hook. Just ask Vixen, as shown in the 'Quick Hits ACen' video, in which he systematically sucker-punched the rest of the Brigade. In his defense, Ark was singing the theme to ''[[Sgt Frog]]'' at the time, but kicking JO through the door was unmerited.
* [[Content Warnings]]: Always comes with the reviews of more violent titles.
* [[Could Say It, But...]]: Professor Otaku delves into great detail as to what colourful metaphor he ''would'' say about the English dub of ''[[Record of Lodoss War]]'' but states that he's above that.
* [[Credits Gag]]:
* [[Cute and Psycho]]: Vixen
Line 89:
* [[Fantastic Slurs]]: Tsubake calls humans (and presumably other organic creatures) "fleshbags."
* [[Fan Vid]]: Kagami's AMV videos.

* [[Hold Your Hippogriffs]]: After making a <s>herpes</s> Harpies commercial voiceover, Prof quips in his review of ''[[Wonder Woman (Film)|Wonder Woman]]'' that he's going straight to the underworld for that one.
* [[Hostile Show Takeover]]: Malakye hosts Fanservice Corner in Pocky Spot episode 53, showing the opening to ''[[Maken Ki]]''.
Line 113:
{{quote| '''Prof''': You know, other reviewers might harp on the location of the cockpit, but not me. I think that argument falls limp, because it has stiff competition, standing tall in a crowd of flaccid robot designs. The orbital frames really thrust themselves into the hard and thick market and show they have a rod of steel in their spines. And I think I just burned out my subtlety chip.}}
** Arkada's review for ''[[Phantom of Inferno|Phantom ~Requiem for the Phantom~]]'' just had to go into the [[Bee Train]] wreck pun.
* [[In Soviet Russia, Trope Mocks You]]: Professor Otaku in his [[Let's Play]] of ''Knights of the Round'':
{{quote| (while being attacked by barrels) ''That's right folks, if you can't kill a castle, a castle will kill you.''}}
* [[It Seemed Like a Good Idea At The Time]]: Vixen's guest co-reviewer of the ''[[Twilight (Literature)|Twilight]]'' saga, Stephen Lajr, on shooting himself in the balls when he learns they're splitting ''Breaking Dawn'' into two movies.

* [[Precision F
* [[Put On a Bus]]: What Hitch did to the gag characters Steve and Joe from his earlier reviews.

** See also Prof's love of ''[[Super Gals]]'' and ''[[Angelic Layer]]''.
** All of the boys are fans of ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]''.
* [[Real Women Never Wear Dresses]]: Comes up in-universe in Vixen's vids.
* [[Red Eyes Take Warning]]: Vixen's cartoon avatar on Pocky Spot when she gets really angry.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Vixen's the Red Oni, JesuOtaku is solidly the Blue one.
** Ark is [[Large Ham|red]] and Prof is [[Deadpan Snarker|blue]].
* [[Retool]]: Pocky Spot as of episode 50. All segments barring Mailbag Showdown and Fanservice Corner have been replaced by a whole new host of segments, including one for each of the new brigadiers and Tsubake getting one to herself.
* [[Rule Sixty Three]]: Vixen [[Invoked Trope|mentions this]] after encountering a male version of herself in her review of [[Vandread]]. Also invoked with Profette.
