I really enjoy the look and feel of Diebuster.Lets forget its relation to Gunbuster for a moment.I never liked dix-neuf but all the other mecha looked pretty good I thought. Shame we barely saw any of them.

Years later and I still think she was the most delicious topless. I think her name was Pasica or something, not much art of her.
>>13862302
Best girl

lu soon is mai waifu
>TFW your waifu gets no screen time and is incredibly tertiary
oh well at least she was one of the ones that lived. that's something. A number of those topless got it bad
>>13862252
There a reason half those Buster Machines look like they could be in Gad Guard?

Before I watched Diebuster, I thought Dicks Noof looked pretty stupid, but after seeing him in action, I realized he's pretty cool.

Buster Machine no Tamashii remains one of my favourite anime tracks ever.
man they put a lot of thought into this universe. Really a shame it was only 6 episodes
>>13866738
>>13866743
>>13866746
not to complain but it looks like you skipped a few pages here and there
>>13866750
>>13866751
Yeah, I think
>>13866754
Were the only missing pages.
Will double check, though
>>13866650
What's this book called? Where do I get it?
>>13866762
That seems to be everything.
At least, it's all I've got.
>>13866765
They're just booklets that came with the DVDs.
I don't think the current Complete Series release has them though. Only the volume releases.
>>13866772
Gotcha. It's kinda weird to see stuff like this translated, at least for me.
wish i could find a reasonably priced copy of this
>>13866730
apparently they ran some character design contest and these two made it into the show
>>13869232
oops
>>13869232
If I'm not mistaken, all of the characters (that aren't named Topless) in that shot are from that contest.

Oh my.

you see her at the end of the series, you shouldn't be surprised

but it was much better than GB
>>13866697
>Sirius Buster Machine
Bbbbbut the subs said it was called Alien Buster Machine!

>but it was much better than GB
The two shows were different enough that it's hard to compare the two of them qualitatively.
wish i'd got my hands on this
>>13876526
this is a blue board man

I love the design of its head
All the CG was really offputting though
Thanks for posting all this.
GunBuster + DieBuster (both) are my favourite anime of all time; DieBuster gets shit on a lot here for not being "as good as GunBuster" but as you can see from these pages the studio knew that; it wasn't about that. You literally have to see DieBuster to the end for it to be good and that's fine. In terms of story and spirit, GunBuster is better but I really adore the character and mech designs in DieBuster; I'm also a huge fan of the twists. I think they didn't intend people to compare DieBuster with GunBuster and instead just want to create more content in that world.
But yeah, DieBuster is definitely underrated, although taken both together, they're the best anime I've ever seen. Something about the raw spirit of humanity set against the starkness of space...Gun/DieBuster do in 6 episodes each what takes Gundam, LoGH, and Yamato 50 episodes to do.

>A kitten modified to use speech, allowing a human telepath to speak through it
Why did they feel no need to explain this shit in the show? What the fuck. In the first episode I just assumed Tycho could turn into a fucking cat.
