Is Gunbuster 2 the most underrated anime of all time?

>>135628145
>it's up with the greats

It isn't. It's not even in the top 10 in any year it released an episode.

Name a better anime from that time period. I can't think of a single one.

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG
Mushishi
Paranoia Agent
Welcome to NHK

It is.

It's underrated because a lot of people who liked Gunbuster were upset it's different, and a lot of people who would've liked Diebuster didn't like Gunbuster so they never got around to watching it.

Second best Gainax show.

Mushishi, maybe. Those other are decent I guess, but forgettable.

yea it reminds me of Eva and FLCL combined (my other two favorite anime). They form the anime triumvirate to me.

>>135628145
>and barely ever hear it mentioned
So, first day on /a/?

The casts were a group of annoying cunt but I finished it nonetheless.

>>135628145
It's not nearly as good as Diebuster.

It's better than NGE.

No fuck off.
You know what's underrated? Abenobashi.

It gets mentioned all the time, unless you were looking for "Gunbuster 2" and not "Diebuster."

>>135628145
Because it's shit. Only good thing about it is the animation and its OP. If you're going to bother putting this trash in your top 10 then Gunbuster better be above it or you need to remove yourself from the gene pool.

>>135628542
Spot on.

Its a solid enough anime, its not as good as GunBuster but its still good.

I like Diebuster a lot. Watched it right after Gunbuster. Both were incredibly different, but I feel like they should really be watched together to fully appreciate them both.

Literally the shittiest ending of all time.

Shit or not, the ending made me tear up

Gainax shit is all overrated garbage

>>135629406
It's gainax.
What did you expect?

Because as mentioned before, it isn't what people thought when they thought "Gunbuster 2".

However that's the reason WHY it's so great in my opinion. It's a show that contrasts modern vs. classic Gainax. The plot is also well done in the sense that you don't think it's Gunbuster 2 then hits you over the head with HEY ASSHOLE WE'RE SUPPOSED TO PROTECT EARTH SO NORIKO HAS A HOME TO COME BACK TO REMEMBER?! which makes the ending feel that much more powerful.

So while I do feel you can watch Gunbuster by itself, Diebuster adds to the original in a way that is truly unique. They are like two sides of the same coin.

You had to watch Gunbuster to fully appreciate Diebuster and not a lot of people watched Gunbuster because "80s anime looks so old and ugly"

It's their loss desu.

>then hits you over the head with
a brain-damaged attempt to save the Earth by using it as the main attack weapon against the space monsters.

In any case, by 2004, Gunbuster's main contribution to the state of the art had been long forgotten.

I bitched like a cry

>>135630098

I can't stand the newer generation's attitude towards older anime. "It looks like crap."

And I'm like "No, it looks amazing. It actually has detail."

>>135628145

It was made before like 2006 and an OVA to boot, probably not a lot of people have seen it nowadays.

>>135630674
And i'm like "The detail is ugly"
Old anime just looks shitty.
New anime isn't crash hot with QUALITY in every show in every season now, but at least the character design is somewhat appealing now.

There's a certain show you had to watch to fully appreciate Gunbuster and not a lot of people watched it because "70s anime looks so old and ugly"

It's their loss facebookmeme.

>>135630758
>but at least the character design is somewhat appealing now.

That basically means the characters are:

Super-cute in some corny way
Big spiky green hair
Giant cute eyes
Ridiculous and impractical outfits
Absurd weapons that make no sense
Etc.

It had that going for it at least

>watch Mahoromatic
>decent, ending was meh, hear second season is worse with a shit ending so decide not to pick it up
>watch 9 eps Abenobashi, enjoy most of it outside of Imaishi's episode, now I hear it has a shit ending too
The fuck Gainax.
I even felt like FLCL should have ended when he swung the bat.

Groovin' Magic gave me bad flashbacks to 1970s disco.

Diebuster is pretty cool.

Sounds like your describing your shitty 80s OVAs to me.
