Gunbuster

tfw when my copilot started screaming again

Imagine piloting Gunbuster with Noriko and every time you use one of the mecha's functionalities she starts screaming their names. Would you find it charming or annoying?

I would be ok with it

I'd be doing the theme song acapella

I watched this for the first time yesterday. It was good, even though I don't really care about big robots.
Coach acting like a psycho was fun, I guess that's why the girls were so into him.
Jung was an accurate portrayal of GDR-era nudism and I want to marry her.

Jung was an accurate portrayal of GDR-era nudism

Did you experience that era yourself?

No, but I do know people who did.
For example, my neighbour as a child was from the East and he still took his family to a nudist resort every summer at least until the mid-2000s. I never did hear how his daughters actually felt about it.

HOMING LASER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would find it very charming and start doing it with her, then marry her and have a lot of children.

I watched gunbuster for the first time last year, it was a hell of an emotional rollercoaster
The ending made me tear up so hard
Love the designs on everything and the style of it all
I think I'll give bubblegum crisis a shot next time I feel like watching anime

start doing it with her

That sounds pretty cute. Can your vocal chords keep up with Noriko's though?

Probably not. But i'll try anyway.

Gunbuster thread? In my Anon Babble? It's more likely than you think.
I watched gunbuster thanks to a video by demolitiond and it does a lot in 6 episodes with all the emotions. Everything looks clean for the 80s. Shit was so cash desu

BUSTER MISSILES !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ewww

This is how legend level pilots prepare for the battle for everything that will decide the survival of mankind.

gainax/khara lives and dies by the character designer. explains why gquuuuuux is so shit.

She cute

my beloved!~<3

They got the character designer of Macross to design the girls for Gunbuster to ensure it will be a success, otherwise they'd probably shut down.

reminder this was anno's directoral debut at 28 years old

Agreed,

zoomers do not discover things through cultural osmosis, filmographies, or lines of inspiration anymore

they do it through cultural osmosis, filmographies, or lines of inspiration anymore, but in a way I don't like

shut the fuck up you retard

LD didn't have the pubes either.

He peaked very early.

evangelion is the peak of fiction told by mankind so you are wrong
he actually peaked at daicon 4

big robots were the icing on the cake, an essential part of gunbuster

As long as my pilot is as cute and hot as Noriko is fine

This is not peak, is GENESIS

Get her one of those deepthroat gags.
Now it'll be cute!

you can (not) found an animation studio with all your college friends

It is amazing that Daicon IV looks far better than many anime released this year.

I don't like eva that much but I love Gunbuster.

youtube.com/watch?v=rdrUUCj3kNw
it's literally a passion project from some of the best young animators in the industry, that's not surprising at all
anime nowadays is mass produced and the talent is just not what it used to be

otakon.gif - 498x343, 977.81K

and the talent is just not what it used to be

This kind of applies to all media.

The 12 minutes that make the daicon iv and daicon iii combined have more frames than any episode of gunbuster

passion

This is what nowadays is lacking in many anime studios.

so why was the last episode in black and white actually
I don't believe that colored ink was that expensive

that's because passion and hard work don't pay the bills

Maybe it was lack of budget, but there is another version that says that Anno didn't like the final battle in colour so he chose to use b/w, which by the way was a brilliant choice.

You know that you can just search on google and find what anno said regarding this subject?

i definitely don't believe that, there's no fucking way they color inked the thing and THEN decided to completely reink it all in grayscale

DUDE WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO TALK ABOUT ANIME ON Anon Babble JUST GOOGLE IT

holy fucking nigger please kill yourself

doing it in black and white was more expensive, actually. it was a stylistic choice to try and emphasize the drastic escalation of stakes, how distressing it was, and how significant their actions and sacrifices were for the fate of mankind.

That's not very nice. I was just making a suggestion which would help you get reliable information that you can compare with what other anons are saying. Rei would never talk like that with me.

That's because Anno likes to change his versions everytime he gives an interview.
And yes Rei is ruthless she would talk that way

no but she is cute when she throws up/coughs blood.

A world without weebs

Now you can go check out Diebuster. While Gunbuster represented what Gainax was when they created Nadia and Eva, Diebuster was made by the creatives behind FLCL and Gurren Lagann, and the contrast is super sharp, going from the Westernized sci-fi of the late 80s to the Akiba pop-fueled otaku world of the early 2000s.

okay anno, very cool I believe you, just like I believed you about evangelion's TV ending being what was intended from the start
now what was the ACTUAL reason

Never watched those war movies where even the most badass special team got a little pre mission ritual to soothe nerves or something? It would break your mind to just think about fucking up the galactic center days before battle

Wasn't it to tie it with the temporal theme of the show? We associate old stuff with Black and White and the last episode happens in a far away past that gains color only when they see the welcome back message or something like that. Maybe a smart person can formulate it better.

It's the opposite, actually. They painted the whole thing in B&W, and it ended up being more expensive because no one was doing B&W at that time. Anno most likely tried to emulate post-war Japanese cinema, a lot of the framing comes straight out of those movies.

isn't the last episode also the only one in widescreen?

There were multiple versions of it, yes. The original was in 4:3 though.

want to watch the gunbuster bluray

they took out the rocky montage song

fuck this gay earth

To be fair, the themes of Diebuster are excellent.
The problem is the animation was bad even back then when CGI was new.

We were all expecting godlike animation on par with Gunbuster, but Diebuster only had the writing to offer.

As I've heard about it the widescreen version was a cropped 4.3

isn't that how all widescreen anime was then?
the DBZ movies were animated in 4:3 but they were blocked out for widescreen on the genga themselves

I really liked how Diebuster looked. It felt like a missing link between FLCL and the Rebuilds.

There is zero reason for women to wear pants instead of bloomers was my main takeaway from this

what's the best version of gunbuster to watch these days

I have always believed that it was an artistic choice because is part of what makes that last episode so legendary, but I don't know why the lack of budget version got so popular.

one of the biggest psychological weaknesses humans have is an inclination to uncritically believe anything said with confidence that can be smugly repeated. grifters and politicians take advantage of it all the time

Because retards who don't know anything about film and animation assume that color is always expensive and Gunbuster is the only Anno-directed show they know other than Evangelion so they make the connection.

only Anno-directed show they know other than Evangelion

I also know the one that ruined the manga, the one about that lucky star character, the one with genderbent shinji, the one where he is reliving his 70s nostalgia and the op he directed for his wife's magical girl show. Am I missing anything?

the new bluray release by discotek is fine.

is she virgin until marriage like a proper girl of faith?

Post the rest colored.

I only had that one from another thread, and I don't think it's official coloring. The original is in black and white

This is my life, and I only get to live it once.

I don't want to waste a single minute!

She was a good Communist and did a lot of agitprop to raise morale, if you catch my drift.

yes she was, she had 3 children

She's a Haman expy who actually got to survive.

Onee-sama!!

but they took out the rocky song

Get a drawfag to color Noriko.

Haman's death was so dumb

We have to fight to the death because...we just do!

And replace it with what?

Maybe it was lack of budget

According to Takeda, doing it in black and white was actually more expensive, but I never understood why really.
Anno's version is that black and white simply has less information depicted in the scene, which he felt was more fitting. He talks about growing up with a black and white TV a lot in interviews, I think he only got a color TV when he was already out of college. Anno is a known war-movie afficionado, he probably grew up watching loads of them in B&W, I could see him just wanting to emulate that feeling for the finale.

what does the note pointing at her armpit say?
