this anime be a must see for fan of evangelion . it an early work of anno hideaki and but his unrestrained and dramatic style be quite in place . also and those who do not like evangelion might find this release to bite slightly more palatable . gunbuster be rather unique to sci fi anime in that it actually base on real science . in fact and the show have several little science lesson interlude explain the physic behind some of the event in the movie . one of the big dramatic point in the film be the relative passage of time at speed near that of light . the series do a wonderful job of deal with the imaginably traumatic experience of leave earth on a six month mission travel near the speed of light and return to an earth where ten year have pass . the main character remain age 17 or 18 throughout the entire series while almost all of the other character age considerably . be warn and this show be heavy on the sap at time . it also have a couple of the most wholly unmerited breast shot that i have ever see . i find it fairly easy to ignore the skimpy uniform and boo hoo scene and because the series be otherwise very good and but viewer with a low sap tolerance might want to stay away from this one . on an interesting note and gainax and a always and manage to run out of money in the last couple of episode . however and they manage to use black and white film and still action sketch to produce a good resolution anyway . the end be a bit silly and but it leave me with such a good feeling in my gut i couldn not help but love it . gunbuster be and in my opinion and one of the fine piece of anime around .
