You're going to end up bingeing it at the weekend and on Monday night you'll feel like a kid who secretly opened his presents the week before xmas

In Training posted:My schedule will be 2 episodes a day starting Friday, it's been a hot minute since I've watched Gunbuster but I did watch Diebuster about 9 months ago. Looking forward to watching that again as well. I jumped on your Gunbuster wagon. Ep 1-2: The Good: -The father intro narration/transition was well done. -The late 80's style is nostalgically awesome. -The minor consequence of their ep.2 near light speed travel is perfectly foreboding. -And speaking of nostalgically awesome...  The Not As Good: -I like what they're trying to do dramatically, but it's mostly miss (e.g. I keep laughing whenever I watch the "Welcome to Exelion...  !!!" scene)-I was hoping the robot designs would reflect a later evolution into EVAs... -Blue haired badass sounds like she's in her 30s. -Some jarring BGM transitions. Misc: -I'm pretty sure becoming that level of jump-rope badass would have already required heavy lead-boot training... Davincie posted:im going to watch gunbuster and diebuster in the hope that possibly a good robot show besides evangelion exists Does Infinite Ryvius count? (On the topic of jarring music...)

I haven't watched Gunbuster or Diebuster before because neither really seemed like my kind of thing, but I suppose one point of a simulwatch is to watch something you wouldn't have otherwise so I'll give it a shot.

One of my absolute favorite things about gunbuster is how the Gunbuster itself feels like an outgrowth of classic 50's sci fi designs, all simple shapes and chrome with brightly colored racing stripes and just enough gribling to give it a sense of scale. Its not at all like evangelion's toku-inspired notultramans, and diebuster's designs are equally differentiated from both.

Well sir, you warm puddle of sunshine you, do forgive my disingenuous EVA design fanboy remarks will you?

I think this is just part of her character, trying to act all grown up and elite. And the VA really nails the character that Kazumi is based on. Watching Aim for the Ace in the last simul has made me appreciate this Gunbuster rewatch a little more.

Even tho there are different designers you can see a shade of Ideon influence in both Gunbuster and Eva designs, the thing really tying all 3 together being the oversized shoulders that go above their head.

Srice you should make this a Gunbuster/Diebuster simulwatch instead. You can't watch Diebuster without Gunbuster! It even has a 2 in its full title!!!

I was mainly thinking of how in the past there had been a simul of Gunbuster so it would be a proper followup of that. If I could actually think through what I'm doing I would have done it differently, but I had actually rewatched Gunbuster recently, wanted to rewatch Diebuster, and then made the thread since I remembered how Diebuster was shot down for a simulwatch in old ADTRW. Some folks have been watching Gunbuster and posting about it in here at least, so that is good and I encourage people to shotgun through it this weekend if they haven't seen it!

Gunbuster is far better than the Ace movie, but it's interesting watching it again now I know the what inspired the studio etc. It's extra credit.
