	AAW: Gunbuster Review
		Among Gunbuster's oddest features, and probably one reason it's not better known, is how hugely inconsistent it is. The first two episodes are something of a bounce-heavy parody (Gunbuster may actually deserve credit for the premiere of the "Gainax Bounce") of the classic tennis drama "Aim for the Ace!" with robot war replacing tennis.
		Gunbuster does have plenty of action for the mecha fan, but the high-school-age soldiers spend more time waiting and worrying than fighting, and the focus is on the lives of the pilots between battles and the effects the war has on them.
		One of Gunbuster's most unique twists is that the young people out fighting the war spend a lot of time at near-light speeds, causing them to return to Earth years younger than their non-combat peers.

	Anime Tempy
		Gunbuster contains a fairly standard sci-fi plot of the human race being under threat from aliens with humanity facing an uphill struggle for survival.
		Gunbuster shares several elements with Evangelion but this is an OAV that's well worth watching for its own numerous merits, even if comparisons are somewhat inevitable if you've seen Eva before hand.
		Gunbuster is indeed a fine anime and is the only one I know to include relativistic time lag.

	THEM Anime Reviews 4.0 - Gunbuster
		Gunbuster even has a sun glasses wearing coach and sempai character very similar in general idea and execution to that show.
		One aspect of Gunbuster that is rather uncharacteristic, and does a lot to help break it from being a simple formulaic action story, is the show’s treatment of time dilation in relation to matter accelerated to speeds approaching the speed of light.
		Gunbuster was one of the first OAV series I saw when I shifted from being merely a guy who occasionally saw anime here and there to a serious fan.

	Gunbuster
		Gunbuster follows the genre of Mecha anime, started by the original Gundam series, that concentrates around hard science fiction.
		It is notable for being one of the only anime series ever, if not one of the only pieces of visual entertainment ever, to deal with the concept of time dilation in a way that even approaches realism, and indeed makes it one of its central plot elements.
		The titular mech of the series, the Gunbuster, is one of the largest mecha ever to be portrayed in any series yet, standing approximately 250.0 meters tall.

		Gunbuster is one of the most visually appealing anime I have ever seen.
		Gunbuster may seem like just an ordinary science fiction anime with aliens, spaceships, mecha, and chicks in tight outfits.
		Gunbuster is an inspiring and emotional story, and I highly recommend anyone to watch it.

	Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Gunbuster, V. 1 at Epinions.com
		Gunbuster has a number of admirable qualities, the foremost of which is how it completely avoids the trap of becoming shallow alien invasion schlock like Independence Day or Battlefield Earth.
		In fact, for those who care, the Gunbuster mecha itself is very likely the most powerful giant robot out there, able to destroy thousands of huge alien ships with just one shot of its beam weapons.
		Gunbuster has a number of instances of what anime fans like to refer to as "fan service" (basically gratuitous TandA, as might be seen in Baywatch).

	Gunbuster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The series is also notable for being the first anime to introduce jiggling breasts as a form of fan service, which led to such movement being sometimes called the "Gainax bounce", this subsequently led to the fan nickname "BustGunner".
		The titular mecha of the series, the Gunbuster, is one of the largest mecha ever to be portrayed in any series yet, standing approximately 200.0 meters tall.
		In a 2005 interview on Anime on DVD, Jonathan Clements claimed that Gunbuster had never been dubbed because the "music and effects" soundtrack, containing all the non-dialogue audio, had been lost, and that reconstruction would be prohibitively costly.

	The Gunbuster
		Gunbuster's primary offensive weapon is a head mounted laser cannon which can pretty much cut through anything it
		Gunbuster can also rip through targets by smashing down into them by using specially designed treads built into its feet.
		At its heart piloting the machine, Gunbuster is controlled by Noriko Takaya and Kazumi Amano.

		Gunbuster volume 1 is off to a great start, and we can only wait and see what'll happen in the next 4 episodes.
		And the Gunbuster itself is the baddest robot east, south, north and west of the Pecos.
		If Gunbuster confuses you, it's probably because of the super-fan oriented nature of the series - you have to really be into anime and its history (Watch for Smith Toren...).

		Their first big break, the film that got them the attention of fans and other companies, was Gunbuster.
		One of the first things that strikes an Eva fan watching Gunbuster (or vice versa) is the similarity of Coach Ota to Commander Ikari; both are distant men, driven by their past.

		Looking a bit farther back, there was a one-volume comic anthology of weird side stories (not available in English as of this writing), though no proper manga version exists.

		The story revolves around the life of a young space cadet (Takaya Noriko) and the terrifying situations into which she is thrust as a result of interstellar war.
		She loses the man she loves, comes face-to-face with death, and is given no choice but to sacrifice herself for the good of all humanity, in what seems to be the blink of an eye.
		Though proliferated with scenes of action and suspense, I believe Gunbuster to ultimately be a love story -- a story of one woman's love for us all.

		As is, Gunbuster is a superbly directed anime that, when dissected and its parts examined, has no business being this good.
		First and foremost, Gunbuster is a spoof of the mecha genre; without a doubt, it will remind many people of Gundam and others from the '70s and '80s.
		Undoubtedly, Gunbuster will catch the attention of many otaku simply with its style and direction, as well as showing many people the origins of the "Gainax bounce".
