The OFFICIAL Gunbuster Thread on Animespot

My compliments on a well-done thread.

I first got interested in Gunbuster thanks to 4chan, actually. People were talking about highly emotional endings or scenes, and Gunbuster came up quite a few times. I figured I'd give it a shot and grabbed the first series.

Wooow. Older animation certainly has a level of quality and detail missing in more modern works. I don't think I've ever seen any other series that tried to be as accurate with their science as this one (the short science lesson clips are a testament to that). That the series pays so much attention to the scientific details actually becomes a central part of the plot, what with the effects of prolonged travel at light speed. The character development was quite superb, and the conclusion truly touching.

After finishing that, I went and got Gunbuster 2 in a hurry. Nono's definitely got to be one of the coolest robots around! The plot kind of confused me for a while since I wasn't quite sure of the connection to the first series, but the final episode made it all worth it. Pretty good for something that started as a parody!

The music's also very appropiately epic. Must look into acquiring that...

Jam it back in, in the dark.
