The one thing that really bothered me in Diebuster was that I found Lal'C's relationship with Nono in the last episode kind of forced.
Like the entire series she's struggling to get along with her and then in the end it's revealed they bonded offscreen and flashback to it. I wish they spent an episode on that to give it more weight.

Besides that the finale is literally perfect though. The last few minutes really caught me by surprise.

I love me some Lal'c.

It isn't really "proto" TTGL. It's the platonic ideal of everything TTGL tried to achieve.

It was a bit fast going from "quit trying to be a pilot" to how they ended up. The only thing I can think of was that Lal' C always liked Nono but was afraid she'd pull an Icarus and fly too close to the sun. And of course Nono forgives just about anything.

>that scene with Lal'C showing Nono around her home before right before she disappears

Its such a simple ending in both series but its done so well. Probably one of the best uses of an OST ever.

The ED is so underrated compared to the OP.

I've always liked it a lot more. It's one of my all time favorites.

In the dvd book interview, Tsurumaki says that's something the two of them might do "in the near or distant future."

>Yfw Diebuster wasn't Nono's story
>It was about Lal'C becoming a friend who would be waiting for Noriko to return

I liked it more than Gunbuster.

An interesting read.

Does anyone have the unedited audio of the Diebuster cast singing Fly High? All I can find now is someone's edit of it together with the Gunbuster song.

Was brilliant, needed to be a 12 or even 24 episode long series, the world wasn't explored enough.

Superior to Gurren Lagaan in every way

I've heard there was a ton of untranslated background information on the official Diebuster website.

It's the best ending.
