It exists only for fanservice and is the trashiest anime of its era.

>-MC is shit at piloting robots and yeat she's selected for an incredibly important mission because a guy thinks she might eventually get good
She had guts.

>>159396425
Hard Work and Guts!
Everything about Gunbuster is worth it for the final episode.

You should just ignore that point since theres no way in hell you'll ever be able to justify it. There is no logical why noriko was chosen for this. Coach didnt even have a shred of evidence that she was able to. You dont hand the most valuable weapon in humanities possession to someone who isnt very likely to make proper use of it. This wouldn't fly with any politician or military official. That part was and will always be illogical, so its best just brush it under the rug.

>I see so many people talk about this as the predecessor to eva
The only thing I see like this is character design. Oldfags will say Ideon, not Gunbuster.

>-Why sending teenagers in space?
What I keep questioning whenever I watch Gundam. Maybe the only justification would be that too many people have already died and due to lack of adults, now they are recruiting teenagers.

>because a guy thinks she might eventually get good
He chose her because of her father and because he believed he could make her a great pilot.

>Even the themes have been done to death
Back then, many of those themes were quite new to many people who watched it. And if they weren`t new, they were done in an interesting way.

>character design
Except Yoshiyuki and Mikimoto have clearly defined styles.

>>159397897
Well, Sadamoto, I should say, for consistency's sake.

>>159397897
Oh wait, I was thinking of Nadia. My bad.

>Maybe the only justification would be that too many people have already died and due to lack of adults, now they are recruiting teenagers.

They say in the opening intro that half the population died. So yeah. No excuses for AU Gundam though

Eva was a deconstruction of Gunbuster
and TTGL was an apology for Eva

Gunbusters final episode is a 10/10

Yeah it's trash, and unoriginal trash at that.

>>159400661
Hurr durr it's a Dezaki anime therefore it's kino

>>159396425
>Why sending teenagers in space? Logically there would be adults who are better pilots than them, having had more time with the robots
Traditionally you send your youngest and brightest to new frontiers, not your old folks. Teenagers have served in war many times historically, I don't know why /a/ doesn't get this. Only adults being involved in war is a relatively new concept.

Ace wo Neare is objectively a masterpiece. All of your favorite members of Gainax/Trigger agree.

>>159400829
If you like Ace Wo Nerae but not Gunbuster you're just being a contrarian faggot with a need to feel superior to cover up for your own insecurities. There I said it.

I did like it either.

... until I watched the last episode. It was a perfect end, nobody could do it better.

10/10, whould let Anno fuck my butthole.

>>159400780
I didn't know about that, what are some examples?
That said we're talking about minors and with modern law and rights a teen going to war is incredibly unrealistic. Other than that, from a more pragmatical standpoint it'd be better to send slightly older but still young people, between 20 and 30 let's say, at least when the mission is important because as common sense dictates and as it's seen even in this when someone is going through puberty they might have emotional tantrums potentially jeopardizing whatever they're fighting for

Holy shit I can just imagine OP going into Gunbuster expecting some deep and complex proto-Evangelion

>>159401047
Also,a country is using teenagers for war is obviously fucked up, but the nonchalance with which that's presented in most anime makes me think the people who made them never even considered that as a thematic point
