Brain Powerd- like Eva, or Garasaki are one of those series that you
either love or hate. Part of the problem people have with BP are when
they try to compare it to Eva. It's not as flashy, experimental, or
angsty as Eva. And supposedly Tomino made some comment that BP would
blow EVA off the air. (Wrong move Tomino.) Anyway I believe this was
discussed on the GML last year.
I personally think BP is brilliant. It's got great music, cool mecha
concepts, ...and this wonderful atmosphere that Tomino always
delivers. Those of you who want a taste of Turn-A gundam, should
check out BP as they are similar in many ways. In fact I'd argue that
BP is a better work than Turn-A.
I'd love to hear more about BP, but there is little info out there.
The Newtype film books are the best and virtually only books
published on BP. Anyone else want to discuss BP?
