Uploading cause this scene was awesome. Not an AMV, just the awesome battle scene. Goodness I've always loved the Gunbuster. Gainax has always been full of win. :)
I love how Gunbuster didn't show up until halfway through episode four of a six episode series and still manages to have one of the highest kill counts of any Super Robot.
@@bloodhuntimintherabbithole3583 Getter Emperor also probably has it beat out by virtue of devouring the entire universe. I wouldn't suggest checking out Ideon, by the way.

0:21 on the left shoulder, just before it closes, you can see the tomahawk along with the baseball bat, both of them stored. That explains their appearance in the SRW games.
Watching Noriko go from being a depressed, whimpering ball of space PTSD to screaming "YOU THINK THAT'S ENOUGH TO TAKE US DOWN?!" While ripping through thousands of aliens is the most cathartic experience in anime history.
Sure makes watching Neon Genesis Evangelion+The End of Evangelion after this an extremely jarring experience... which makes watching Diebuster and Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagaan afterwards all the more refreshing.
@@michaelandreipalon359 Noriko is the anti-Shinji. A girl who wants to pilot a robot but has no initial talent for it, she endures terrible trauma and comes out the other side stronger for it.
Released in 1988 and the best Gainax anime ever made. In fact, its time dilation concept from Albert Einstein's relativity theory was quite similar to Christopher Nolan's 2014 film Interstellar. And this mecha (Gunbuster) is one of my favorites among super robots in anime.
+Antonio Atienza III Yeah I noticed that too in Interstellar. Everyone had their minds blown by that. I'm like... I already saw this done before, nothing new.
I was born in year 1979, and I first watched this anime on VHS in year 1998, when I was 19 years old. Until now, this anime is still great to watch. This anime was one of my favorites.
+Antonio Atienza III Yeah but the first episode is lame. Why Noriko was chosen in the first place? They put the excuse that 'she was talented and just needed to train more' but how the hell they know she was talented? She was a disaster in almost the entire first episode. Makes no sense.
+Richard Tsai "the highest courage and growing potential". Exactly, that's why doesn't make any sense, Noriko didn't have any of these skills. In fact, when Smith dies Noriko looked like and emo, whining and crying, so that proves that she didn't overcome Smith's death. Everything would make sense if Noriko was chosen just because her father, not because her "skills"
+Richard Tsai Aah aah you said it, "eventually". At first she was like that, so how the coach knew that she would overcome? Wouldn't be more reasonable to choose a brave but mid-skilled girl from the very first beginning instead?
"Your Future, there future, i'll pave the way for with Gunbuster, precisely, so don't get in our way!" Literally Gurren Lagann logic right there, just show's that Companys Never Change.
The first anime club i ever walked into in 1993 was held in the film theater of a major library and this episode was one of them. I had never seen it before... and I was crying watching it. I would eventually see wings of honneomise in the art-house theaters in my city. And as much as I love Evangelion, these two works will forever be GIANX's Magnum opus in my mind.
Chan Tak Zee mazinger z did it first, though. They first think of the name of the attack and then figure out how it works. Like: Emm... boob missiles... thatll work.
If you’re confident enough to take time to call out your attacks, you’re likely gonna win. If you’re not confident enough to waste time doing so, you’re probably struggling/gonna lose. Cause and effect.
The tension and coolness of this scene is increased if you take the way this fight played out in Super Robot Wars T into account. The Earth Federation brings everything it has to this fight, battleships, mobile suits, super weapons, and of course, the titular super robots. The colony laser fired 8 times in quick succession and exploded. It's also mentioned that many other tactical weapons were deployed to attempt to turn the tide. All star mechs like the mazingers, shin getter dragon, gaogaigar, hi-nu gundam, gunbuster, and many others fought like hell to repel them. Even the main antagonists show up to help. Even with all these factors, they only managed to destroy around 55% of the space monsters before the defensive line was broken (granted several other powerful entities crashed the battle making it exponentially more dificult, however the point that it took all of these powers coming together to have a chance of potentially repelling the space monsters still stands). And in the original series as seen in the video, Gunbuster pretty much solos all of them.
this anime is so amazing on so many levels. So much to appreciate. Not only is it the culmination of everything badass about 1980s mecha anime, but of mecha anime in general. Strong, committed characters, fantastic animation, badass aesthetics, flawless pacing and an existential grit that paved the way for future anime like Eva and Gurren Lagann. Plus it's Hideaki Anno-sama's directorial debut so that's another plus. Awesome show, awesome music.
My favorite part of that entire transformation has to be the head snap at 1:06. Such a simple action that manages to communicate a lot of mood and power at the same time.
love this song... never knew the name of it... thanx... one of my favorite anime. one of my first anime i bought i still have the vhs tapes.. long live amine..
Good god, this scene is so unabashedly over-the-top 80's. And it's danm good because of it. What Aim for the Top! Gunbuster did in 1988 is something that I doubt could be replicated ever again. Elements of it might have been replicated, and done better, but as a whole, Gunbuster is in a class of it's own.
I'm not sure if it's intentional; Noriko's movements after Gunbuster is formed makes me think she was trying to do a cool pose but, couldn't settle on one.
Gunbuster was beautiful and terrifying story. It pulled well on the heart strings along with the brutal reality of travelling at super luminous speeds affected the characters. Something lost in Gunbuster 2 series.
Actually, there are implications that a lot of time passed between the events of Eps. 5 and 6, what with the evacuations, the fanfare on Lalc and the fleet's return, and the construction of Douze-Mille. Possible offscreen FTL comms might have helped.
Sure makes the Earth-and-moon centered Third Impact *tame* in comparison. Made even moreso come the sixth/next/final episode with its Milky Way galaxy core destroying Operation Carneades. And then the likes of Diebuster (its sequel) and Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagaan (its spiritual successor; yes, the manly Simon the Digger and the mighty Kamina actually owe themselves to the likes of Noriko and Kazumi AND Diebuster's Lal'c and Nono, among others) up things *beyond eleven.* Addendum: Love how TV Tropes treats 3:10-3:42 in its main page for the show, particularly on the "Casual Danger Dialogue" set.

@@forzacavaliere It was top save costs, colouring and toning costs money and time. You can't just add colours to things it has to be properly shaded. Black and white goes a bit quicker, especially as everything needs to be hand drawn.
@@DehnusNorder not really? I mean, they made the last episode in black & white on colour film which is more expensive than doing colour on colour film just for the sake of drama which caused a bit of a polemic around it.
I'm a native Japanese, but I'm glad that people from different countries are discussing about Gunbuster. I'm using translation software, so I'm sorry if the text is not correct.
I wonder if anyone else knows this but the 2 girls who are singing the song during this battle are the same 2 girls who are voicing both Noriko and Kazumi and if no one believes me check the English credits at the end of episode 6.
i was watching this episode and my 12 year old brother wanted to see it; after 2 minures he said wow despite how old it is it looks nice, better than most of the stuff i watch :) another generation of man of culture is on the way :D
Does it really count as a "Homing" laser if it annihilates everything in a cubic mile? Well, never mind, who am I to question the one that screamed her way through thousands of foes per second?
Welcome back to Super Robot Wars T, my first time discovering Noriko and the Gunbuster, also, I cant believe Noriko's Seiyuu can still make the screams almost more than 20 years later.

I really couldn't enjoy Diebuster. Somehow watched it to the end of first episode, then protag bared her tits and kicked the huge alien monster. I spit on the floor and closed the video before she landed a kick.
Still love Gunbuster after all these years. Made me stupidly happy to realize that a lot of the elements of it were reborn in Gurren Lagann, especially when the Super Galaxy Dai Gurren appearred. That forehead beam of the Gunbuster, at least to me, is still one of the most powerful shots in anime. It beats out full-scale ship weapons like the Macross Cannon any time.
I'm currently at the end of my first playthrough of SRW T and I decided to go nuts upgrading Gunbuster since I'm a huge fan of Anno's work. I'm one shotting most bosses. I love it.

Good way to boost morale, and put in more hard work and guts. These apparently are what fuels these robots.

@@DehnusNorder not really? I mean, they made the last episode in black & white on colour film which is more expensive than doing colour on colour film just for the sake of drama which caused a bit of a polemic around it.
Damn you Gainax.
I will always have a special place in my heart for you.
RIP.
The synchronized mech movements with the "claps", are PERFECTION!
I'm a native Japanese, but I'm glad that people from different countries are discussing about Gunbuster.
I'm using translation software, so I'm sorry if the text is not correct.
It was correct. We love Gunbuster. :)
Still one of the most badass moment in mecha history.
I wonder if anyone else knows this but the 2 girls who are singing the song during this battle are the same 2 girls who are voicing both Noriko and Kazumi and if no one believes me check the English credits at the end of episode 6.
Noriko's shouts here always give me goosebumps.
There might be bigger or stronger super robots, but for me Gunbuster will always be the king of super robots.
i was watching this episode and my 12 year old brother wanted to see it; after 2 minures he said wow despite how old it is it looks nice, better than most of the stuff i watch :)
another generation of man of culture is on the way :D
Imagine Jean shouting Homing Laser (same voice actress as Noriko's) instead of Captain Nemo in Nadia XD
Does it really count as a "Homing" laser if it annihilates everything in a cubic mile?
Well, never mind, who am I to question the one that screamed her way through thousands of foes per second?
#ThreeWordsSheWantsToHear DOUBLE BUSTER COLLIDER!!!!!
followed by UWAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Who else got goosebumps by watching this?
Welcome back to Super Robot Wars T, my first time discovering Noriko and the Gunbuster, also, I cant believe Noriko's Seiyuu can still make the screams almost more than 20 years later.
This animation is beautiful. I swear, '80s anime had art that blows most shows away. I'm looking at you, season 2 of _One Punch Man!_
holy shit, I've never seen this anime before but the art is fucking beautiful
WOO!!!
kujikechau wa dame na watashi

The useless me is falling apart
The heart is covered with wounds, hidden tears are stinging
Everyone is like that in the beginning
But you can't give up, make sure you come along

I can't have any self-confidence at all
My heart starts beating and I can't be relied on
I close my eyes as if praying FIRE (FIRE) FIRE (FIRE)
Now my life will burn brightly!

Because the dream I see is too far
I breathe a sigh, but I won't lose, I'll do my best
I don't need a dream that's good enough
That I can catch easily, without any effort. Isn't that right?

Damn this is really good quality! I love that what GunBuster does in like 30 seconds is more than anyone in Diebuster did in 6 episodes
I really couldn't enjoy Diebuster. Somehow watched it to the end of first episode, then protag bared her tits and kicked the huge alien monster. I spit on the floor and closed the video before she landed a kick.
You know when something is so badass you get goosebumps
いつ見ても激アツ。（語彙力）
I still get goose bumps so many years later.
Still love Gunbuster after all these years. Made me stupidly happy to realize that a lot of the elements of it were reborn in Gurren Lagann, especially when the Super Galaxy Dai Gurren appearred. That forehead beam of the Gunbuster, at least to me, is still one of the most powerful shots in anime. It beats out full-scale ship weapons like the Macross Cannon any time.
But not as op and absurd like gurren laganm but that's what makes these anime fire 🔥
Man the way Noriko screams "homming laser" hits diferently smh
Came here after Super Robot War T and wondering why this robot is like an one man army. Watched this video and Im like no wonder.
Gunbuster is so good in that game!
Almost every SRW game Gunbuster is in, it's broken.
I'm currently at the end of my first playthrough of SRW T and I decided to go nuts upgrading Gunbuster since I'm a huge fan of Anno's work.
I'm one shotting most bosses. I love it.
nolan can never aim for this kind of perfection
What Hollywood does is just ersatz, squeeze of this moth ... ing Ski-Fi porn. They will never reach the proper level.
God of Zaku
GunBuster would whip so much ass in Screw Attack's Death Battle Show.
"Don't think the Gunbuster is just some ordinary machine... IT HAS COACH'S HEART BEATING WITHIN IT!!!"
Makes me cry every fucking time.
2:09 gives me chills every time
Thank you, thank you, thank you, for the trip down memory lane.
Such mecha. Much fanservice. Wow.
The hot blood burns through the generations! LOVE & GUTS!!!
Amazing scene for sure!! thanks for uploading this!
JESUS CHRIST WHERE HAS THIS BEEN ALL MY LIFE
Gunbuster is SO epic, loved it since the first time I saw it, one hell of a powerful mecha.
Yup. Long time favorite mech. Liked it better than anything from Diebuster too.
STILL ONE OF MY TOP ANIME SERIES!
+Edward Fye it's my favorite of all time
its 2022 and im still in awe for this animation o/
