Brain Powerd

The greatest piece of fiction ever made.
Tomino's masterpiece and an achievement of what storytelling can do!
He created a show that surpasses even the likes of Breaking Bad and Victory Gundam with Brain Powerd.
Brain Powerd is a Japanese anime television series created by the legendary studio Sunrise. The series is set on a future, decimated Earth after the discovery of a mysterious, alien spacecraft dubbed "Orphan". A group of researchers scour the planet for Orphan's disc plates using mecha called "Antibodies" in order to revive the craft, an event that would result in the utter destruction of all lifeforms on Earth. The protagonists Yu Isami and Hime Utsumiya must utilize a special Antibody called "Brain Powerd" to counter the Orphan plans and save humanity. Brain Powerd was directed and written by Gundam creator Yoshiyuki Tomino. The series features mecha designs by Mamoru Nagano, character designs by Mutsumi Inomata, and music by Yoko Kanno. The series was also adapted into a manga, with art by Yukiru Sugisaki, which was serialized in Japan's Kadokawa Shoten magazine Shōnen Ace and later published in the United States in English by Tokyopop. A series of light novels, music CDs, and other merchandise relating to Brain Powerd also exist. Tomino was joined by a team of writers at Sunrise under the pseudonym Hajime Yatate. Other staff included The Weathering Continent and Windaria character designer Mutsumi Inomata; The Five Star Stories and Heavy Metal L-Gaim mecha designer Mamoru Nagano; and Macross Plus and The Vision of Escaflowne music composer Yoko Kanno. Nagano had also previously worked with Tomino Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam.

Its full of masterfully written characters, phenomenal art and animation that puts everything that proceeded it to shame and Yoko Kanno's best music score by a large mile.
Brain Powerd is about the meaning of life and what it means to be born. Its best presented in wonderful characters like Yu, Quincy and Jonathan. Quincy in particular is my favorite and is the best and hottest girl in all of anime. Hime is fantastic as well though doesn't have as much depth as those 3.
The battles are epic with some spectacular fight choreography and visuals that will keep you on the edge of your seat and the stakes are very high. Its easy to see why this is such a beloved classic thats still discussed even after more than 20 years of its release. Its a timeless product that will be celebrated for centuries to come unlike its shitty infirior version Evangelion. Brain Powerd is everything Evangelion should have been and a 1000 times more. Its grand, its epic, its sexy, its profound, its everything you could want out of a story and we honestly don't deserve such a perfect masterpiece.
