Not the same as there’s nothing redundant about that dialogue. You guys clearly don’t love flowers thus should return to the soil for that.';

'>>22598581
Taken in-context there was nothing redundant about the "people die when they are killed" line either.
It was iirc part of a juxtaposed statement: contrary to Servants, normal people actually die (and stay dead) when they are killed.';

The grammar is still weird.';

I'm not familiar with the story of the Golem besides the fact it was made of clay, by Jews of Prague, and you give it orders by stuffing paper with the command in its mouth.';

'>>22599431
I don't know much about the original story but I think she's referencing the 30's movie where the golem crumbles after a little girl gives him flowers';

>you give it orders by stuffing paper with the command in its mouth.
Sounds cool, this is the kinda concept I could see being used in a fantasy mecha setting to explain how they program their machines.';

Unironically love this song, drove me crazy trying to track it down back in the day, made me sad when I found out the artist didn't have much of a career past it and just disappeared into the crowd.';

'I've tried like three or four times in my life to watch Brainpowerd and have never managed to make it all the way through. I could never really articulate why but little by little I've come to understand that it's Tomino at his most Tomino and it's a natural response. It's like missing the beginning of a conversation between two people and struggling to make sense of what they're talking about, nothing adds up, you just try harder and harder to put the pieces together, assuming the problem must be on your end until finally you realizing with a crash of epiphany that you're in the middle of a mental ward and every word is gibberish.
Nonetheless it's occupied a place of fondness in my memories for being one of those early "weird" late 90s animes that somehow managed to survive being remembered as artsy and avant-garde on the merits of its concept art and soundtrack.';

god the late 90s were so good for weird ass shit';

'>>22607518
Eh I found it fine and understandable by just thinking about each episode for a few minutes after I watched it - you just don't get much built for audience exposition and have to pay attention to context. When characters say something weird it tells you something about their perspective - and the show doesn't like dictating to you who's perspective is the "correct one" - it can be confusing, but also feels very immersive and lifelike due to it.';

brain powered was a fucking mess ngl
I have finished almost every tomino show by production order (skipped over triton and garzey because I can't find a working torrent online) and the dialogue/plot/world building in BP is his messiest show so far.

I can sieve through the spiritual pseudo science mumbo jumbo but so much shit is happening so quickly without enough buildup.';

'>>22610919
>brain powered was a fucking mess ngl
That is more or less the general consensus. BP is too much weirdness with no real grounding going on.';

'>>22598581
Correct and right are different things. It is correct to say that Epstein's clients were powerful, well-connected pedophiles. But that doesn't make the exploitation of children by the rich and powerful right.';

Sentient space alien lands on earth and goes to sleep. The people investigating the "ruins" end up realizing that its waking up and wants to go back to outer space. People are concerned that if the alien goes back to outer space then it would ruin the earth.
That's one part.
The other part deals with the dynamics of parents and how their actions can influence their children. More specifically mothers which is why the brains/grandchers are generally presented as children, the two most important men in the series have mommy issues from neglect and why the final boss is a mother.
It's not that complicated but Tomino has a writing style that can throw people off.';

'>>22612153
I wonder how much of it is the subs as well? BP subs are a very old localization, Turn A, Wings of Rean, G-Reco and King Gainer all got subbed later and don't seem as confusing to people (G-Reco alienated the young seasonal watchers, but maybe it wasn't so hard for older fans?).';

'>>22609182
I'm pretty sure it's quite deliberate, there's no nudity in the show itself so there's a sort of juxtaposition here';

'>>22612229
I watched the dub for both Brain Powerd and King Gainer and I could understand those shows just fine. I think the issue is that the show is very fast-paced and dense. I wish the old manga localization would get scanned; reading it may be easier than watching it since you can control your pace. I'm also pretty curious about Tomino's novels for it in case it's an F91 situation where the anime omits several important parts of the story.';

'>>22599328
That's not even the context. The context is that Shirou was functionally immortal thanks to Avalan being bound to his soul so no matter how many times he would receive a fatal injury and "die", Avalon would heal him and bring him back. So what he was saying was "People die when they are killed...that's the way things should be", saying his existence was unnatural.';

'>>22610624
Yep.
>>22611856
Is more of the way it is presented and executed as the core of it (as >>22612153 kindly exposed) is quite simple.';

'>>22612229
Havent seen BP but wasn't the localization handled by sunrise themselves? Their work is generally good as far as I can recall.';

'>>22612597
No, it was done by Bandai's American division. I don't think Sunrise ever did distribution of any anime themselves.';
