havent seen it yet but is that supposed to be their version of misato? they aren't beating the eva clone allegations.

>>23707342
Shut up.

>>23707342
Please do not compare Kanan to the Beer Bitch.

In any case, no, she has absolutely nothing in common with Misato (no one in the cast has).

I think the Eva clone allegations stem from the fact that there is this mysterious alien entity that could possibly bring the and of mankind, and the mechas are organic.

But is a completely different beast, very much Happy Tomino for now (ep. 22)

>>23707342
I think Brain Powerd is more a Tomino pre version of Turn-A

>>23707399
Oh ok cool. Haven’t seen it yet so that’s just something I’ve heard. I guess I’m more interested in giving it a try now since I’m kind of sick of eva

>>23707406
Sweet I love turn a

>>23707342
Past vaguely organic mecha, that's where the similarities between the two ends. Brain Powerd is Tomino's thoughts about women and their role in society, with motherhood being a big focus. Big sisters taking the role of mothers since the mom is gone, grandmas taking care of their grandchildren cuz their mother isn't available, mothers being irresponsible and alienating their children, women rejecting being mothers, etc.

just finished Victory. Seeing this thread caused me to impulsively torrent the series. May start it tonight.

Honestly I would not consider it a "good" anime for many reasons (uneven story, plot twist that are more u-turns than twists), but the characters are all enjoyable and well designed, the vocal cast is spot on, the animation is very good and the OST is superb (it's Yoko Kanno, so, yeah)

Trudging my way through it as we speak and I'm at episode 19 and its...certainly a Tomino work from the 90's. Its kinda wild that he would do Turn A like a year later yet it feels way more fully realized compared to BP despite sharing many of the same aesthetics including voice actors. Its certainly a unique little gem, The art is top notch, Yu might be my favorite Tomino protag and the music is great (In My Dream is an all time banger) but its definitely not for everyone especially if you you have a low tolerance for post CCA Tomino.

They put a lot of emphasis on the model of mech the Orphan pilots use in these first three episodes.

I watched Brain Powerd because someone told me it's an Eva clone but the story and characters are absolutely NOTHING like Eva. MAYBE you can say the settings are similar on the surface level but really the only thing they share in common is the 'teenage boy pilots an organic robot' part. It's a totally different show, the tone isn't even the same.

The funny thing is Tomino did organic mecha in the 80s. In fact this is part of why he did Brain Powerd. He wanted to do more with the idea that he never got to do in Dunbine. There's a lot of similarities obvious and subtle. Aura power and organic energy, barriers hyper are the obvious ones.

No, this is kinda just a habit with mecha shows and Tomino shows to just resurrect people like they never died. G-Reco killed Becker in episode 5 or so just to have him back in episode 20. Plus Zeta was particularly stupid in how they killed Four in episode 20, then resurrected her in episode 35 just to make Kamille angst harder by killing her again.
Though my favorite example is a non-Tomino example in Orguss killing Sley around episode 14 only to have him come back and die again in episode 17.

Went on a googling binge, found this Tomino interview about Victory:

>(S)uppose you have a religion, or an absolute like God, or an entity with absolute power. When people think about it, this supposition might seem humbling at first glance, because they're trying to approach things with the humility of knowing that their own ideas aren't absolute.

>If you do that, accepting the existence of something like Christ or God, you believe that we're allowed to live our lives according to the destiny of such people. Then comes the idea of royal authority in medieval Europe, where the king takes the attitude that he's simply wielding the power entrusted to him by God, rather than his own wisdom or ability. That might look like humility at first glance, too.

>Now, however, I thoroughly reject that idea. It means the person has basically given up thinking for themself, and in fact if they have some kind of God or absolute (...) then because they're in a position of merely acting according to its will, then they don't have to think for themself and can avoid all responsibility. It means they don't have to imagine what it means to bear responsibility in the first place.

>So for example, if I say I'm punishing you in the name of God, I don't have to think about the consequences of that punishment. When you punish someone, their family could be turned out in the cold, and their community might descend into chaos. But if I believe I had no choice because all of it was in the name of God, then I've ended up completely ceasing to think for myself, and I'm no longer considering cause and effect at all.

>The most frightening thing about religion is that individual people no longer experience the proper relationship of cause and effect within their society, and the number of such people will continue to increase. So I believe we really shouldn't entrust our own powers of understanding to religion.

>Is this a good show
Honestly? No, even at its best it's mediocre.
For starters it's barely even animated, 0079 looks like a masterpiece of animation next to Brain Powerd and I'm not kidding, there's some egregious BP episodes like 7 iirc which are literally slideshows of still cells where not even mouths are animated, you look at still images with some voice acting and music.
Writing wise it's a neurotic mess, the theme of the show is literally just a bunch of Tomino incoherent rants about women and motherhood, which as entertaining as they are shouldn't be taken seriously.
The characters are incredibly neurotic as well, Yuu is a BPD freak who starts out kissing Hime out of the blue when he doesn't even know her and two seconds later he's telling her to fuck off and this goes of for 90% of the show until he meets Nelly and sort of chills out and becomes more coherent with his Hime and himself, Hime is a cardboard cutout Mary Sue who barely even exists and is there to be the literal "SOMEONE WHO COULD HAVE BEEN A MOTHER TO ME" meme, Kanan's character starts well but then entirely stops existing after Rass metaphorically gets into her pants and quite bluntly tells her he wants to put a baby in her, then there's Anoa who goes AWOL for most of the show when things get good for her...
...Which leaves us with Jonathan, who is the heart and soul of BP and the only character who gets significant development AND is wholly coherent from start to finish on top of being ridiculously fun, and Iiko/Quincy who's the female counterpart to Jonathan except the ending to her story doesn't really hit as hard as Jonathan's, the rest is a bunch of peanut gallery characters like Higgins, Ranga or Kant who merely exist and add some minor flavor to a show that is poorly written and most importantly, barely animated.

The entire show is a massive rant about mommies and hags, which is funny as hell if you know and like Tomino but objectively bad if you don't.

>>23717976
I disagree almost completely outside of the animation, it's an S tier show with C tier animation.
It's not just about motherhood. Themes like identity, environmentalism, cult indoctrination, death and rebirth cycle are also quite prominent. It's a multi-generational story about relationship between children and their parents.
Hime is the mc, even more so than Yuu. In a show where various characters are grappling with their strained parent-child relationship, she stands out for being an orphan who has lived with many parents. She is not a Mary Sue, just a more honest girl, not jaded by shitty parenting. Anoa's redemption at the end is like one of the best things ever from Tomino anime.
Jonathan is so fucking overhyped by supposed fans, it's not even funny. He is great and fun to watch, but he is barely in the front and center outside of some episodes. Calling Quincy a female Jonathan is completely missing her character. Higgins, Kanan, Kant etc are all really good side characters that either embody the themes of the show or just fun to watch.
It sounds like you are just watching the show through 'hehe mommy issues amirite' meme lens than actually absorbing and engaging with it honestly.

>Themes like identity, environmentalism, cult indoctrination, death and rebirth cycle are also quite prominent.
Dunno about prominent but they're all handled horribly, having a couple of episodes about Orphan emitting biowaves that make flowers grow and Brains being happy around flowers doesn't really give much food for thought, if any, cult indoctrination is more relevant when it's other rants about the USA rather than Orphan and the Grand Chers emitting literal mind control brainwaves that brainwash you into being tools and proxies for Orphan, again, not much food for thought there even with Iiko going through a detox session on the Novis Noa and ultimately failing because she's too mentally scarred by then.
You can't make any solid argument about cult indoctrination in a show with literal magic brainwashing only Yuu sort of escapes from because he's the main character and also a legit schizo, Victory makes for a more compelling watch if you want that, so does Turn A or even Xabungle.
>In a show where various characters are grappling with their strained parent-child relationship, she stands out for being an orphan who has lived with many parents.
And what exactly does Hime DO with that?
Unlike Yuu Hime never struggles with anything, she doesn't grow through the show either, she doesn't have any real relationship or discourse with other characters including Yuu himself who tiptoes between incredibly awkward random kisses and constant antisocial bitch fits that make Kamille look like a normal person.
Hime merely exists as a model for Tomino to use in contrast to horrible bitches like Midori, nevermind how Orphan magically reunites her with her actual mother through magic memory mumbo jumbo and makes her cry like a baby about it which makes the "many moms and dads" point rather null because ultimately Hime WAS implicitly just as weak as everyone else to the whole parent complex deal but conveniently avoids dealing with that until the show's over.
>>>

>>23718041
>but he is barely in the front and center outside of some episodes.
Because he's the main villain.
Even so Jonathan is the one character in the entire show who goes through actual growth, has his views challenged constantly, both directly and indirectly and he ultimately comes to terms with his own mistakes, Jonathan is always coherent to his character unlike Yuu who is incredibly poorly written and acts as a raw mouthpiece for Tomino more than anything.
Iiko goes through very similar hardships, she struggles to deal with her own feelings, her shitty parents and Orphan's brainwashing, she goes through a detox cycle that ultimately fails and then a deep memory dive into her grandma's memories as to better understand not just her own situation but her grandmother's and her mother's, and even so much like Jonathan's that only further amplifies her initial stance on things rather than changing it, up to the point she fuses with Orphan to become her antibody until Hime (and Yuu) talk Orphan out of it all.
>Anoa's redemption at the end is like one of the best things ever from Tomino anime.
I have no idea how you can ever say this when Jonathan himself bursts out laughing at the bitter irony and absurdity of it all, Anoa was a mentally broken husk who turned herself into a Char clone and started a genocidal plan because she thought that giving control of Orphan to Jonathan would make him happy and make up for the shitty childhood he had, Anoa up to the very end was still a shitty mother incapable of actually relating to her son and still engaging in her distorted, one way relationship with him to such lengths Jonathan himself could only laugh at how absurd the whole thing was and how he could only vaguely relate to his own mother when she was desperately trying to be somebody else, the only good thing about it is that Jonathan ultimately gets some peace of mind by finally getting a glimpse of (psychopathic) motherly love from that, but it's still rather awkward.

How many shows was Sunrise making in 1998? Apparently this was being broadcast at the same time as Bebop and Outlaw Star.

>>23718008
>Higgins, Kanan, Kant etc are all really good side characters that either embody the themes of the show or just fun to watch.
No.
Higgins is less of a character than Sheila, he's less of a character than fucking Rass and neither are particularly interesting or relevant through the show, her honest and simple love story is quite nice in a show full of psychotic characters but that doesn't make interesting.
Kant is a fetish character and an exposition machine that doesn't really mean much in the bigger picture, he's as interesting and compelling as a character for the general narrative as Nakki is, which means not much.
Kanan is again, somebody who starts out great, has some good moments in the early episodes but then stops existing the moment the twin Brains come out and she starts her relationship with Rass, after that she's just a background figure and her entire relationship with Yuu stops existing until a very brief moment during Iiko's detox arc being the only exception, Tomino could have done so much more with her but alas.
>It sounds like you are just watching the show through 'hehe mommy issues amirite' meme lens
Because there's nothing else of substance to the show, I like BP because I like Tomino and his rants but it's easily his worst show outside of Garzey's Wings, it's a rushed, incoherent mess that doesn't know what it wants to do and ultimately goes nowhere, it doesn't even have many good moments unlike his other shows, it's unfocused, horribly animated when it is animated in the first place and more interesting as a sort of diary on Tomino's mind more than anything else.
The music is exceptional and it boasts both Nagano and Inomata as designers (even though the show itself does them exactly zero justice), it's super fun if you're into Tomino's work, but it's objectively incredibly flawed and poorly written outside of some very specific parts that do not really save the show as a whole.

why are you taking Geybridge's words as Tomino's?

>>23717323
Tomino's garbling a lot here. The Catholic idea of divine right of kings does not imply the king is always right. Most real decisions kings or princes made had little to do with religious doctrine. A thief might have been "punished in the name of God", but roughly the same punishment would happen in a secular society.

As to morality, all morality is reducible to either external authority or subjective intuitions about right and wrong, which vary from person to person. In some sense, to make your own morality the head of things might be considered egotistical. Religion also usually makes claims that disobeying its laws will cause negative effects that are obvious on a long time scale, but not clear in the short run. In essence, it feels like Tomino is just describing the fatalistic attitude of late war Japan, and ascribing that to medieval Europe.

>>23719097
>>23718966
Geybridge is clearly acting as a author avatar in this scene. There's something to the critique, maybe not so much in years but in that the US has been subject to constant change, movement, and inflow of new peoples. What passes for tradition in America is usually very top down and not organic at all, as opposed to parts of Europe or places like Japan. Other new world/post-colonial invented states obviously have even less history, but that doesn't invalidate the critique.

>>23718907

What Tomino is getting at here is something he explored with Char in CCA and Maria-ism in Victory. Morality is not reducible to external authority or subjective intuitions, ideally it is a set of principles derived from your own critical reflections about whats right and wrong and religion or foreign ideology is a way of outsourcing that important thought process to someone else which gives the person the illusion of being able to absolve themselves of moral responsibility instead of acknowledging their own moral autonomy and thus responsibility. Most people in medieval society did not once think about shit like "is something just because it is loved by god or is something loved by god because it is just", they had rolled back on centuries of moral philosophy the ancient greeks had already figured out because they signed away their moral autonomy to doctrine and and religious leaders speaking in the name of god.

Taking a new name just because an attractive boy tells you he'd like it.
Suddenly we're doing the Amandara and Mian relationship again. I honestly assumed that was Mamoru Nagano's idea, given how late it came in L-Gaim and how the show seemed to resist a straightforward explanation of Posaydal's deal until the very end and even tried to claim Full Flat was the real Posaydal.

Nothing was stopping you from ignoring me. Or from making a retaliatory "Not the blogposter" thread like this sperg did: >>23722590

>Yeah that seems to be in line with this show.

I mean their hair directly connects go the uterus of the Brain Powerd. And I swear I heard him mention pubes in 2 interviews but I have to find proof lol. And the pendant thing from the Gundam novel is a thing.

Also he's bald... I'm not a psychologist but uhhh yeah I'm noticing things about hair here.

This is too stupid to make a separate thread about but I watched Brain Powerd early last year and only now did Iearn that Organic energy is based on Orgonic energy from Wilheim Reich. And its all because I listened to that Kate Bush song about it. And it makes so many things in thos show make sense. I dont know how much Tomoni read about him but;


>Orgon energy is about freeing yourself from sexual repression
>Orgon accumulators are things you use to get more of it sort of like piloting a Brain
>Crazy people making pyramid orgon energy accumulators on YouTube and Noah is pyramid shaped
>he got taken away by the government and his kid was fucked up about it.
>it can cure cancer according to him so maybe that's why that one guy has leukemia
