Gunbuster is a 30min, 6 epesode OAV sires produced by Gainax in 1988 and was the first show directed by Hideaki Anno, who later went out to do fine works such as Nadia; the secret of blue water, RE; Cutie Honey and a few other lesser known things but the is usually known as the directer of neon genesis evangelian.
Noriko Takaya, the protagonist of Gunbuster is a young girl trying to follow in her faters footsteps and become a space pilot, problem is she sucks at controlling the mechs called RX-7's. idolising the top student in the training acdemy "Kazumi Amano" Noriko wishes to be chosen as the second pilot to go on to a real mission and accompany kazumi but lacks any skill and fighting spirit, luckily Coach realizes Noriko's potential and so he begins to give her personal training to control the RX-7.
Gunbuster is one of my favorite shows and for good reason the character design is good but gets over shadowed by the awesome mech design, but the thing that i really loved about gunbuster was when every time Noriko returend to earth from space and you can see how her fiend from the academy aged and how the city had changed. If i had to choose one thing a did not like about gunbuster it has got to be the nudity, yes it was a small amount but i just felt like it was out of place like they just tacked on sum boobs to get more sales and i just felt it was totally unnecessary. Besides the small amount of nudity i have absolutely no other problem with gunbuster in fact i absolutely love gunbuster and i think anyone a mecha fan or not will find gunbuster a very satisfying watch.
