—Story/Characters
From the sources that I have read, Mr. Tomino claims that "Brain Powerd" and its organic robots was an idea that he created before "Neon Genesis Evangelion" ever aired. Though, notably, Mr. Tomino went on to tell Animerica magazine in a March, 2000 interview, that: "He wanted to write an interesting story for Brain Powerd in order to allow those who watched it to do so without having a nervous breakdown and to show fans that there were often other things out there better than anime. Tomino has wished that more animators would see themselves as entertainers, though he admitted that he felt that Brain Powerd was not very entertaining and thus a ※failure in this regard."
※Despite Mr. Tomino's admittance of failure, he went on to create ∀ Gundam after this, so I suppose that everything happened for a reason!
I disagree about the part about "Brain Powerd" not being entertaining, but I do admit that there were times that I had to really strain my brain to try to make any sense out of what was going on with the plot. After the banger of an opening, "In My Dream," we're treated to a very show-but-not-tell type of storyline, with quippy, manic dialogues and fast-paced drama — Mr. Tomino's usual schtick. The story seems to convey the idea of warring psyches and the ideologues that each pilot holds dear. The main thesis of the series seems to be: don't dedicate your life to trying to find the answers and just focus on the ones you love; the here and now.
"If Victory Gundam was the work of a depressed man, Brain Powerd is the work of a man who has overcome his depression."
—TV Tropes
Many of the characters are disenfranchised, Jonathan Green hatches a terroristic heist because he never got to spend Christmas with his workaholic parents, and even the main character (Yū Asami) and his sister, ※Quincy Issa, seem to have problems because of their parents abandonment, during their formative years, and many of their memories are at their grandparent's house. Though this series is more insane with its verbal execution, I'll give it one thing: I does ultimately have a more uplifting message than "Neon Genesis Evangelion"! While, the view of women is still highly debatable (whether or not women should give up their careers to be mothers), it is important for people to have meaningful bonds with one another and for family to be a bigger priority than scientific research. It's like Mr. Tomino was trying to say, "Get out of your own head and look at what's around you!" The series was profoundly meaningful in that way!
※Side Note: I thought that Quincy Issa, a.k.a. Iiko Isami, was the most fleshed out female character in the show, and therefore, she was best girl.
There are implications that this show is primarily about sex: the rampant nudity in the opening, the phallic areas that are ejected out of the crotches of the "Antibodies"! But, like my thesis in the paragraph earlier, I think it all just a metaphor for human intimacy. If this series is a response to "Neon Genesis Evangelion" and the AT fields, in that are the barriers of the human psyche, the metaphysical driving ego that tears us all apart, it seems that Mr. Tomino has imaginatively tried to find a way to reattach the disconnected wires in our human souls. Though, without a quintessential sea, like in the narrative of "Densetsu Kyojin Ideon"!

Commentary: While Mr. Tomino is very great at directing and framing an atmosphere, plus the choreography of the giant robot battles! Like, dang, they are impressive! His script-writing sense is questionable. In some series, like "Kidō Senshi Z Gundam" and "Densetsu Kyojin Ideon" — while the dialogue is absurd, in some cases, the plot is a spirituous tempest. But, with "Brain Powerd"... it's like the story is layered with several coats of cement, before it is anything more than glorified psychobabble. I had high-hopes for "Brain Powerd" because I really liked how steeped in existentialism and philosophy "Densetsu Kyojin Ideon" was. "Brain Powerd" isn't able to reach such a profound impact, unfortunately as it may be. Though, Mr. Tomino did drape this series with his usual colorful characters (※in fact, there were so many, that it was very easy to forget the purpose of some) and flights of fancy, I commend him for making the show entertaining, to say the least.
※26 key characters, not to mention that Quincey Issa and Higgins Saz have very similar designs. I mixed them up a couple of times, at the beginning of the series! Both are thin girls that are on the taller side, with short, brunette fringe-cuts.
⚠️ Disclaimer! I DID watch the English dub version of "Brain Powerd" — but, with that being said, none of the English cast seemed to know what was going on in the series, so their performances are mostly just them blankly reading off the script. They are all very talented in their own respects. I will list all of their work below, but I can't really say anything substantial about any of them, because of the aforementioned explanation. ⚠️

Conclusively, I would check this one out if you're looking for the zany side of Yoshiyuki Tomino! It isn't "good" — if you're using the mainstream concept of "good" — but it's an enjoyable watch, if you want to pop on the dub during a relaxing evening and want to get a few chuckles from something, that has an optimistic ethos. Also, the visuals are clean and the designs look stylish, even though the animation can just like a layered slideshow in ※some scenes! I would suggest giving "Brain Powerd" a try, if it's your kind of show, and rate it a 4/10!
※There is the occasional scene, where the "Antibodies" just glide through the air and there isn't much movement on their behalf, but everything else meets Sunrise's standards, as far as quality goes. It isn't as shoddily animated and low budget, like "Byston Well Monogatari: Garzey no Tsubasa" OVA!
Rating: ★★☆☆☆
