Anime Review: Gunbuster
Posted on February 2nd, 2006
Anime for the evening : Gainax’s Gunbuster. Originally released in 1988, this short 6 episode show is a weird blend of mecha and emotional collapse. The general theme is very played out - the usual gang of high school girls in oddly designed outfits have to go into space to defeat bug-eyed bad guys. The girls spend plenty of time breaking down in tears, and lose just as much time due to the effect of warping through space. While I didn’t find that this Eighties ‘classic’ held up to the test of time, the time-twist at the end was slightly interesting and the action is decent. 6/10
