    Gunbuster almost made me cry.

    *spoiler warning*

    I started watching Gunbuster 2, since its being fansubbed, so I decided to try to watch the old Gunbuster.

    I had an old DVD with the first two episodes, and I just had to tweak my PCs DVD drive a bit to play it. The the last four I had to download, yeah I know its a bad thing, but if I ever come across a box set I'll sure as hell buy it.

    But anyway, it has to be the sinlge greatest anime Ive ever watched. There were so many parts that almost made mewant to cry because they were so damn sad.

    The way everybody kept meating up with each other but they were all aging differently becasue of that light speed travel was awsome. It was so sad to see how she kept missing out on her best friends life.

    Then when Smith died. Holy crap. I had only known who the character was for about 20min, and when he died I actually cared about him. So sad.

    And the ending. OH GOD THE ENDING. They had to leave all the others behind, to start that huge bomb. The whole time warp thing leaving them 12000 years in the future, then as they headed back towards earth thinking the plan failed. All those cities light up spelling out "Welcome Home" across the earth, just like what that girl promised she'd say to them when they return. I wanted to jump and yell! It was so happy and sad all at the same time.

    I loved every damn minute of it. Mabye Im just a panzie thinking it was so sad, but so what! It was awsome!

    I found the VHSes. I made a topic about it.

    But yeah, it's an excellent series.

      gunbuster is a classic. the new series doesnt do the original justice at all. while enjoyable, it's more of an insult to the original than a tribute.

      anyone who doesnt get choked up at the end is an emotionless robot.

        I'm really disheartened that you'd say that about Gunbuster 2. Especially after only two episodes. I really enjoy Gunbuster 2.

          I really like it too. But after seeing the first one, it cant compare.

          Its more like a completely different show, but just has the same general setting.

            I see the comparisons, especially in theme.

              I like gunbuster 2 as well. but its not the same type of show as the original.

              the original was intended to be a parody of giant robot shows, and ended up turning around and being one of the best.

              the new one is pretty much gainax being goofy.

              I'm sorry, but the new one isnt fit to stand in the original's shadow.

                How can you say that after only two episodes? I mean, I didn't get all that into Gunbuster after only two.

                  I was hooked on gunbuster the moment I saw the trainer suits doing push-ups.
