I've no idea about jingoism in Gunbuster, but I do think the message about hard work and guts is somewhat undercut by the fact that Noriko has a latent talent for doing lightning attacks and only really even did anything because of nepotism on Coach's part. The hard work and guts angle still makes a lot more impact, but I do wish Coach's training of Noriko had been reworked slightly to remove the nepotism.

I love how it's consistent with the op fight where the force of the punches crater the gently caress out of whatever ' behind Boros.

I somehow never noticed that Saitama's lazy rear end punches actually crater the ground all the way down there :vince:

Somehow the OPM anime thread has led to the discussion of jingoism of Gunbuster in it.

There are japanese flags on the japanese spaceship, in the show made for the japanese. Clearly jingoistic

yeah. it's showing that japan is a major space power and has attained some form of independence, but there's a difference between that and jingoism. people seem to reach for anything where the japanese don't portray themselves as turdmongling fuckbrains as 'jingoistic.'

not that I want to continue this silly derail but I totally forgot that in the background fluff for Gunbuster, Japan buys Hawaii from America, who then regrets this decision and invades Pearl Harbour and is promptly crushed in the ensuing Second Japanese-American war
