I heard the action scenes were a bit old-fashioned, technologically speaking, but how do they compare to the ones in Macross Frontier? Because those were beautifully-directed, even if the CG has aged a bit, and the short clips in the trailer reminded me of them.

So, finally watched Gunbuster. Man. The first four episodes aren't very good. Like, all the positive buzz I'd heard for the show pretty much was for the last two, looking back. They justified it, don't get me wrong, I think they were pretty solid, but the whole original planned run... yeah. Not a fan.

I enjoy the pseudo-sports atmosphere that was heavily influenced by the late Osamu Dezaki's works. Furthermore, almost everything can be tied together both thematically and in terms of the main character's arc. wielder fucked around with this message at 08:52 on Oct 13, 2018 |

Yeah for real, just try comparing GunBuster to other OVA's that came out the same year like The Tale of Neo-Byston Well or Hades Project Zeorymer. The difference in quality is noticeable.

The first 4 episodes of Gunbuster are super necessary for the payoff, and it wouldn't have worked as just the last two episodes. They're also kind of a slog compared to the finale, especially if you know what's coming. Like, I don't think these are incompatible statements.

The events of the first 4 episodes need to happen to given context and weight to the last two, but they don't actually need to happen the way they're depicted. Noriko needs to have some self doubt and overcome it for instance, but she doesn't need to do so as a schoolgirl doing physical training in a giant robot that's meant to ape an old tennis anime.

Yes, Gainax could have depicted the events in a lame way instead of a cool way, if they had so chosen.

I, the discerning anime connoisseur, cannot fathom the reason a anime character might lift weights in a giant robot suit instead of lifting weights herself.

Slandering of Aim for the Ace is highly illegal.

I wasn't aware that noting Gunbuster based it's earlier episodes on Aim for the Ace was slander. I'll report to the nearest anime re-education center for appropriate moderation of opinion right away though.

The only part of Gunbuster I don't like is Smith, because he kind of Kramers in out of nowhere to be Noriko's new friend/pseudo love interest for just long enough for Noriko to feel bad when he dies. He's invented and disposed of in almost the same narrative breath purely to act as pathos and motivation for Noriko instead of being an actual character of his own. This is kind of a problem because the rest of the cast acts as motivations for Noriko while also actually being characters.

Including episode 4 among the ones that "suck" is especially weird to me because the fight at the end of it is like the most emotional scene in the show except for the ending. It's the end of Noriko's arc, where she finally overcomes everything that's been holding her back and does something amazing. While episode 5 has a cool fight it's really about Kasumi's drama that was introduced in the same ep so it doesn't really have the same emotional gravitas.

I was slandering Gunbuster's first four episodes for being based on Aim for the Ace, not Aim for the Ace itself. Which it'd be hard for me to do, since I've never seen it. I assume those parts work better there though, since my impression is that Aim for the Ace is a more dramatic show and the context fits better with the drama I imagine it's going for than the comedy Gunbuster uses it for.

While episode 5 has a cool fight it's really about Kasumi's drama that was introduced in the same ep so it doesn't really have the same emotional gravitas. I'm pretty sure episodes 4 and 6 were the ones I enjoyed the most of both Gunbuster and Diebuster, but I haven't seen either in around a decade at this point so I just assumed it was 5 and 6 and left it alone since I'm not that bothered on the exact numbering. tsob fucked around with this message at 23:48 on Oct 14, 2018 |

Gunbuster cribs from several genres and several other shows. Aim for the Ace is the most obvious because that's the one Gunbuster took it's name from, but one that's equally notable is Danguard Ace. The kid of a disappeared space explorer trying to become pilot candidate of the yet-to-be-completed Earth super robot is straight from that series. I don't doubt that there were other series from about the same time that Gunbuster also took similar inspiration from. This is all to say that Gunbuster changes style and genre very fluidly, not just throughout the series but even within an episode. Episodes 5 and 6 get much more bombastic than any of the previous episodes. (Gunbuster's launch in episode 4 is drat near restrained by comparison, and Noriko's fight against the STMC mothership is down-right solemn.) If you that bombastic style is what you want out of the series, then those episodes are going to be the ones you like.

Hideaki Anno's gift is copying everything and mashing it together into a somehow new thing that's rad.

I thought she was doing it without any of the internal balancers/gyros/macros/technobabble handling that stuff for her. She was working on her fine control of the mecha or something.

The units have a ton of internal autopilot stuff and she was being trained to move it without relying on it.

Guy Goodbody posted:Second season of Space Battleship Tiramisu Yamato 2202 is really good, They spent like 5 episodes on "Hey ! Remember the Comet Empire ?" and the followed up with "yeah, none of that poo poo is happening." drat but I love when a remake exceeds the original. 2202 has good character stuff, fantastic action scenes, and the show's mythology gets weird.
