You need to write something more productive if you want discussion. Have a friendly bump just because is a Gunbuster thread and it doesn't deserve to die without responses.

I'm a huge softie for tear jerking shit but I don't like mecha at all.

Should I watch this anyways?
>>
>>139264759
It's still a mecha show, and you still have shit taste, so probably not.

Not to mention, it's an 80's mecha. None of this new psuedo-mecha where you don't even have to like robots to watch it.
>>
>>139264759
it's still cool, it's more of a "get hype" kind of show than strictly mecha

diebuster is better

Yeah it's only 6 episodes and has plenty of Gainax bounce

TriBuster when? Why can't adult swim fun sequels for good shows.
>>
>>139265230
This is probably the biggest subject of argument that I know of on /a/.

You're objectively wrong.
>>
the first four episodes are kind of boring but episode 6 is one of the best anime episodes of all time
>>
>>139264759

You've never even watched a mecha show faggot

No Geass doesn't count
>>
>>139265619
The same could be said of Diebuster, 4 episodes of build up and 2 episodes of pure awesomeness, the last episode in particular was 100% hype from beginning to end.
>>
>>139265672
I LOVE mecha. My favorite shows are Gurren Lagann and Neon Genesis Evangelion! I'm basically a mecha master at this point.

DRILL WILL PIERCE THE HEAVENS !! hahaha

Somehow after my last rewatch of the buster series with a friend who had never seen it before the build up in Diebuster didn't feel nearly as agonizing. It also helps that Diebuster is stunningly gorgeous to look at. Once both hit around episode 5 though all bets are off. Also this little bit of soundtrack magnificence:

Super Pierce Through The Heavens Red Spiral
>>
>>139264759

It's a classic mecha anime with shoujo elements and only takes a few hours to watch.
>>
>>139265672

More like Aldnoah.Zero nowadays cause it had Dear Gen, Sawano and that guy that directed Fate/Zero on it aka things the dumb teenagers that populate the Western fanbase will give a shit about now. Too bad about you know....well you know. If anything it's just going to make the current generation hate mecha anime ever more but I'm starting to think that might have been the point all along.

Overrated ending.
DIebuster did it better.

There's some mecha shit, but the most moving parts about Gunbuster have to deal with the relationships between the characters and how they are impacted by time dilation.
>>
>>139267667
Literally the worst opinion anyone has ever even thought of having
I don't even care that this is bait

stop this, this is becoming very close to a meme word.

all dat shit taste detected

It's only, what, 6 episodes? You can finish it in one sitting, and it's important in the history of anime. You should at least watch it to pick up on the Gunbuster references people still make.
>>
>>139264759
Gunbuster might make you like mecha since it's pretty much debatably the best title from the 70s-80s
>>
>>139268926
>it's pretty much debatably the best title from the 70s-80s
What other titles have you even seen from that era?

TTGL and diebuster are good because they don't take themselves seriously, and mecha is retarded and shouldn't be taken seriously

This scene had little impact on me. I was wondering more how humanity even remembered her after 10,000 years had passed. Since we as a race can't even remember things from 1,000 years ago with accuracy. It just breaks the suspension od disbelief. Plus, if 10,000 years had gone by, and we already had warp capabilities, why are people still stuck on Earth?

Plus, they shouldn't have known the exact day she would return since she spent a few hours fighting. At best, there would have been a 500-1000 year window. And that's only if her speed was constant the whole time.

In before angry nostaliga fags get mad.

Interstellar was praised for being one of the only films that accurately depicts time dilation. I was pleasantly surprised to see it was done in Gunbuster too.

I was also extremely interested in how the fuck they could relate to humanity 10.000 years in the future. It's not as if history doesn't have periods of rise and fall, even if the future world government was the longest empire in history it couldn't had lasted more than 2000 years. It had to fall after that and be changed by other regimes with other priorities and shit. Imagine how confused a roman from year 1 would feel right now and multiply that for 5. There probably isn't a single thing on Earth they would be able to recognize.

Many movies have done it. Even 2001 and 2010. Interstellar was just the most recent movie with tons of advertising. And I'm really surprised it got made at all. If anyone besides Nolan had pitched the movie, people would have laughed them out of their office and just made another Transformers sequel.

Even more amazing was how well Interstellar did at the box office.

I imagine the Japanese language would have either died out or evolved to be something completely different by then.

It's the sci-fi equivalent of this.

>>139273528
because Japanese is an ancient language

I think history gets a lot easier to preserve once you hit the information age. Just imagine all the people who have a facebook currently. If they have the luck or willingness to mate, their great grand children will be able to laugh at pictures of their great grandparent embracing their body pillows or barfing outside the club-- depending on what they post.

>I think history gets a lot easier to preserve once you hit the information age.
Various scifi writers and theorists have actually stated the opposite might be true. Since we are putting everything onto digital networks, all it would take is one major blast from the sun to wipe all of modern history from the Earth. While stone monuments would still be around.

But its just a theory. I guess in 10,000 years, we'll know the outcome.

>>139264759

There are two types of mecha series anon. One focuses on the robots (Gundam, Transformers, etc). The other type focuses on the characters that pilot the mecha (Eva, Escaflowne, Gunbuster, MKR, etc).

Gunbuster is more of a character story that happens to have mecha. 75% of the OAV is a friend/romance drama.
