I think this show's biggest problem is how overloaded it is with unnecessary terminology. Like what's so hard about just calling aliens aliens? Brain Powered is an organic mech, fine. But then Brain Powered pilots are Antibodies? Eh, ok but how is that different from just being a pilot? Why not call them Brain Masters or something since they basically communicate with the Brain Powered to pilot them? then evil Brain Powered piloted by the bad guys is called Gran Cher? What the fuck does that even mean?? Does it even need its own terminology when you could just call it Orphan's Brain Powered and be done with it? Why does it need its own made up word for everything? And there's a ton of this shit all over the show.
>>
>>23979972
The Gran Chers and Brains were fundamentally different in some way I don't quite remember. It did matter, though, and reflected the different approach that the two factions had.
>>
>>23979993
I'm quite sure the reason you don't remember why is because the story didn't properly explain it.
>>
>>23979995
No, I don't think that's it.

Iirc, the Grand Chers influenced their pilots, amplifying their thoughts like how Yuu's sister went bonkers. And were more parasitically dependant.
The Brains were more like children and had more autonomy, in a symbiosis like relationship with their pilot.
>>
>>23980144
I'm pretty sure only the Barons, which only Johnathan and the sister had did that. Regular Grand Cher's were just mature forms of the Brains.

T.D. Suzuki's probably the most successful Japanese nationalist cultural propagandist. His heretic brand of Zen was deep in bed with the Ultra-Militarists, yet it became the dominant mainstream interpretation of Zen outside of Japan. It's a bizarre Neologism of Pure Land and Zen filtered through anti-religious western theories, which links neatly into the world view of a Protestant audience that truly believes Buddhism to not be a religious movement though.

Many many years ago brain power'd was in SRW in gba, and people were talking about how it was so bad (this was when wing if rean was coming out?)

Anyway I watched. It was pretty lame. I would describe it as a full season of Geary's Wings. Also the plot was used in a lot of shows past and prior. Naturally reddit is an apologist for it.

This is how you know they're lying. There's no nudity. The OP is bait.

There was that one guy who went nuts and got crushed by the clit wafers of his regular Grand Cher.

If you are confused by a tomino show after like 6 episodes in you are a brainlet. First few episodes are always confusing but make sense the more you watch. I always assumed he does this because of the likelihood of his series being turned into a compilation movie

I feels like that show was just Tomino having a breakdown and putting everything that pissed him off in his life out in the open. Which explains why it's completely all over the place, logic or even good story be damned.
Maybe that way he felt so peaceful over the next show he did.
>>
>>23981172
it only takes a passing familiarity with like half the things on the image to realize the joke is simply putting things that don't belong in the various categories, such as prilya and yuri-hime on the "educated" column

No, you just got filtered.

Imho, the insistent and confusing terminology adds to the charm of the series.
>>
>>23977307
I basically stuck with the whole thing just because I liked Hime and Yuu so much.
Hell I only checked the show out in the first place because I found them charming when I was playing through SRW J.

Nah, Quincy's Grand Cher was literally decaying and dying because she wasn't piloting it for a couple days.

That's exactly why I watched the show too. I saw them in Alpha 2 and then again when I went back to J. They were so weird to me, so I did some research and started to watch the show. This is like 20 some years ago or something.

He said he wouldnt have been able to do Turn A if he didnt do Brain Powerd. And after all the crazy BP women we got Queen Diana and Kihel.

The concept art makes them even weirder. Nagano uses terminology and imagery that makes them sound like they were supposed to be digital too. The disks are CDs. when they come to life it was called bitmapping and I guess all the wafer stuff are computer boards.

he hated his mother.
he also was very angry at himself because he wasn't (in his own words) a good father or husband before the 90s. Many characters in that show are sides of him he dislike.

Yes.
I have never finished this show, and I tried at multiple periods in my life to get into it. Even back in the day when we had limited quantities of anime and we really had to enjoy everything we got. I was a huge fan of the soundtrack, and I really like the OP too (the artist didn't become super famous but has a podcast now and plays acoustic). The aesthetics and art look amazing. But every time I make a serious attempt to sit down and watch the show, no matter the decade, I eventually just get infuriated trying to figure out what the hell is going on, who the hell all these people are, what the fuck their motivation is supposed to be, and why I'm supposed to care.

Ultimately this series' most lasting impact to my memory has been the little clips of the attacks in the super robot wars games with the chiptune versions of the songs, which are really catchy and let me pretend the series was more meaningful than it was.

Actually swap that around.. I really like the soundtrack, and I'm a HUGE fan of the OP. It's so fuckin good.
