Directorial debut of everybody's favorite depressed genius, Gunbuster is a classic to behold. The old style of animation is not seen anymore, which could make it either off putting or fuckin awesome for some. For me, seeing this style in motion is very nice to my one working eye, I couldn't help but respect all the effort and talent that went in to craft every second. Old animation is not something everybody is going to see much anymore, especially when it seems so many prefer the newer styles.

If you like robot fights in space your gonna have to wait a few episodes for things to really kick off, but when they do... prepare for screaming, unbelievably massive explosions, and tits. The tits aren't important, but the screaming is, classic character development at it's finest. Don't see any tropes here, just human beings trying to live with the hand they've been dealt, I love it.

Apparently Gunbuster was inspired by some tennis anime and Top Gun, two very different things, but perfect for the guy who came up with Evangelion. If you want to watch everything Hideaki Anno was a part of, I recommend this to you.

Here is the thing about space, any self respecting man should love it, they should also love sweaty girls piloting robots capable of blowing up a galaxy, screaming as 80's synth rock music plays in the backround. Listen, you don't have to like the characters, or the story, but the themes are there, and the definition of badass is objective, if you cant stop being overly critical and enjoy yourself for once... Then your missing out.
