In the not so distant future much of the earth has been submerged under the sea or destroyed by earthquakes. At the center of the turmoil is the mysterious Orphan. Orphan may or may not be the original cause of the cataclysms. Orphan's goal is to raise a ship hidden deep beneath the sea to the surface, but doing so would result in the destruction of all humans except for the small number which are loyal to Orphan.
Orphan's agents pilot mysterious mecha known as Grand Cheres, and search the world for mysterious, giant disks which occasionally appear, flying at high speeds and wrecking much of the countryside, or cities, when they hit the ground. After a dying disc almost kills Hime, a Brain Powerd is born from the disc. Brain Powerds are another type of Mecha, similar to but not the same as Grand Cheres.
Hime becomes the Brain Powerd's pilot, forming a symbiotic relationship with the living mecha and joins an International Organization dedicated to stopping Orphan, or at the very least saving humanity should Orphan succeed.

Where it came from
Brain Powerd was produced by Sunrise and released in 1998 as an ambitious mecha anime series. Directed and written by Yoshiyuki Tomino, the creator of the Gundam franchise, the show emerged during a period of experimentation within the studio. It was conceived as a highly stylized and somewhat abstract response to the mecha genre, focusing on themes of evolution, psychological connection, and the relationship between humanity and alien technology.
The series is noted for its distinctive aesthetic, featuring organic, fluid mechanical designs by Mamoru Nagano, who had previously worked on The Five Star Stories. The production was characterized by its departure from traditional rigid robot designs, aiming for a more biological, ethereal appearance. While it polarized audiences upon its initial release due to its unconventional narrative structure and complex dialogue, it remains a significant entry in Tomino's body of work for its bold visual identity and thematic depth.
