finished Gunbuster Episode 3 as part of my Gunbuster rewatch. another really good one! this episode did a very good job of conveying what life was like on these roaming battleships that spend extended periods of time in space. things were different, but things were also the same in a lot of ways.
the battle was excellent. I really like long range, tactical battles that are less focused on action and more on the atmosphere. there was a lot of tension and build up even though we did not see much happening on screen. we did not even get a visual of any of the attacking aliens, but it was still very captivating thanks to some stellar directing. the point of the battle scene here was just how lost and disoriented Noriko feels while fighting in the vacuum of space. she has a partner but he's not even close enough for her to visually see him, even though they are fighting "together." the enemies are so fast that she can't keep up. all of the scenes after Noriko returns to the excelion are very good as well. it really drives home the emotional weight and the purpose of this episode that we're able to witness the aftermath of things and it's not just glossed over. that is probably the strongest point of Gunbuster for me. as far as pacing and directing goes, this is a series that excels when it is showing you things that aren't vital to advance the story but are absolutely essential to conveying the overall themes and messages of the episode (and the series as a whole). and the best part is how efficiently it is done with only 6 OVA! there are plenty of mecha series that do so much less with so many more episodes... this is truly a masterpiece by comparison. --- Reality seems very harsh https://imgur.com/VRszIc8 ...

Gunbuster Episode 4 was just legendary. I definitely don't remember this series being THIS good, so I've been nothing but pleasantly surprised at every turn. This episode in particular though has really kicked it up a notch. The tension and feeling of hopelessness throughout is executed so well. Once again the writing does an amazingly efficient job of setting up, explaining, and executing concepts very quickly with the limited time frame of one episode and yet without feeling rushed.
Of course all of this is just makes the last 1/3 of the episode ever better because of how hopeless the situation is. Everything in the first three episodes essentially builds toward the finale of this episode and it does not disappoint. At this point I definitely feel like this is a 10/10 series and I was crazy for ever thinking otherwise. Also I don't usually recommend anime to others but if you haven't seen Gunbuster, maybe check it out. Although the classics aren't really for everyone I would say this is a true classic. Some cool narrative parallels contained within this episode: I particularly loved the part where Only two more episodes left. --- Reality seems very harsh https://imgur.com/3a03avz ...

Gunbuster Episode 5 cleared. This episode starts to deliver on the time dilation concepts introduced in episode 2 -- it begins with Noriko and Amano coming back to "graduate" 10 years behind the rest of their high school classmates. We get a brief glimpse of how the world and their relationship with other people has changed. Because of an emergency alert there is no choice but to send the Gunbuster back out into space. But this time there's a catch:
This episode is all about the development and resolution of Amano, as the previous episode was more about Noriko. We'll see this dynamic pop up again later in TTGL. Noriko admires Amano as her "big sis," someone who she can look up to, rely on, and who would never falter. But in reality Amano is the one who lacks confidence and she needs Noriko to inspire her. The action in this episode was even more hot blooded and awesome than the last episode, although in terms of raw emotional payoff I might still rate episode 4 higher. I like Noriko's arc more than Amano's, and they did a better job of conveying the hopeless situation in episode 4. I don't think anything could beat the amazing impact of Noriko's amazing VA kills it again with her battle screams and emotional delivery of her inspiring lines. It's a shame she doesn't seem to have any other similar roles because she is seriously iconic here. --- Reality seems very harsh https://imgur.com/3a03avz ... Copied to Clipboard!

yeah definitely. and I like her overall growth and development. it's not just that she's badass, but also how she gets there.
anyway finished with the rewatch. I'll do some kind of episode 6 and/or full series write up later. --- Reality seems very harsh https://imgur.com/3a03avz ... Copied to Clipboard!
