Time dilation

Noriko stays the same age but everyone else keeps moving forward. To her hardly any time has passed, to them they've lived their entire lives. Do you think that kind of serves as a metaphor for how we interact with fiction throughout our lives?

Like for example when Lilo and Stitch came out in 2002, Lilo was older than me. Now I'm four times her age. I can go back and watch the movie whenever and she'll still be the same age. And I keep getting older but she never will. As long as a copy of that movie exists there'll always be a kid who used to be older than me that became younger than me and it'll still be around even after I'm dead

Do you think the new Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX is the spiritual successor of Gunbuster?

I saw the trailer and it resembles gunbuster and diebuster, and it has ppl from both gunbuster and diebuster like anno as well. Obviously i want a separate gunbuster 3 as well but just curious what yall thought

What would you imagine if we ever got a Gunbuster 3?

Do you think that other alien species would come after the Earth 🌎?

An if so, do you think they will be like the Anti-spiral from "Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann"( trying to surpress humanity from evolving futher ).

Apparently the first episode of Diebuster aired twenty years ago - Oct 3rd, 2004. I made an AMV to celebrate!

Noriko Scream re-dub?

Hey, y'all!

I just watched Gunbuster for the first time on Crunchyroll and really enjoyed it! Noriko's screams were really something else, but I have heard rumors that there was a redub of her screams at some point?

Besides having no idea why they would do such a thing, is there a video comparison between the two somewhere?

Just curious!

Diebuster is complete...

The vibe was completely different from gunbuster, however it was still fantastic

Also the ending hit so damn hard I really thought this was set tens of thousands of years after noriko and Kazumi make it back not before...
