SFR: Gunbuster (Episode 6) "At the End of Eternity..." REACTION

[@YukiYuki3601]

I love this anime. Great reaction.

[@Raktus]

Thanks, I loved it too

[@もりこつ-w3g]

同じタイミングで涙拭いてくれて、なんだか日本人としても、とっても嬉しい。　観てくださってありがと😊

[@oleub23]

last episode trivia: the welcome home/back in lights on earth (Okaerinasai) is written in katakana instead of kanji, and the final character is backwards, which suggests that Japanese is probably not still a living, actively used language 12000 years later

[@Raktus]

That they waited for them to come back is just another reason that's such a heart wrenching moment.

[@sevenbark]

That's such a great detail!

[@pseudopulk3478]

another reason i heard is that Jung couldn't write properly

[@CircuitReborn]

Now you really need to watch Diebuster oneday. Trust me when I say getting to the end is worth it.

[@Raktus]

I do intend to return to it as soon as I've caught the channel back up post Griffin's retirement ^_^

[@junjunjunjunjunjun39]

これは泣くよな😭 観てくれてありがとう♪

[@MikeTheGamer77]

I'm a grown ass man, but every single time I've watched this criminially short anime, The end of this episode gets me in the heart. Every single time. Even more so when you watch die buster, which wasn't that great, and the ending is tied into this. I'll be 80 years old someday and this till still bring me to tears. Everything about this anime is incredible. The music is phenominal.

[@bidan86]

Same throught here, tear can't be avoid to drop😢

[@PhailPhisher]

Waiting after the Voices of the Distant Star reaction to recommend GunBuster feels worth it. 👍 Other things to talk about: * GunBuster's vertical fins on its shoulder and homing laser attack seem to based on Space Runaway Ideon (brought up in the Macross Zero reactions). Gunbuster's mono-eye design might be based on the Zaku, which I find interesting considering that Ideon looks like a GM. * Jung's Giacobinid Meteor attack (she shouted its name in a previous episode, I forgot the timestamp) is named after the Giacobinids (discovered by Michel Giacobini), a Northern hemisphere meteor shower whose parent body is the periodic comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner. They're also known as the October Draconids and are named after the constellation Draco, where they seemingly come from. (Just took this info about Draconids from Wikipedia.) * There are two more GunBuster Science Lessons and a short for Jung's Sizzler Black. I'll post other references on the recommendation thread on Discord. Once again, thanks Theta. 👏

[@Raktus]

Was a good suggestion, glad you made it :-)

[@DnPBancho]

日本より、この名作を見てくれて、泣いてくれてありがとう。

[@jasonstewart50]

I remember watching this series in the 90's. That ending just about killed us.

[@Buraian---inu]

同じ場所で同じ涙を流し、コメント欄の人も含め深い部分で仲間になれると思えたよ

[@SeraphArmaros]

Thanks for reacting to one of the classics. Always loved this one.

[@SCharlesDennicon]

Great reaction to one of my favorite animated series ever. I'll always be thankful for how Gainax and Anno made me feel. I gave it a try because a friend from high school kept telling me about it, and at first, I didn't expect much, because it was so cheesy, so girly, so over-the-top, and the parody element was so heavy, but I kept watching because it looked very, very good and I loved the soundtrack... then something happened around episodes 2-3... and by episode 6, I was crying my eyes out half the fucking time. I mean, how can you NOT cry at 29:07 or at 42:02? ^^; It's so... lovely and positive (one of the most positive ending ever made, I'd say!). Anno's directing is the big star in Gunbuster, imo. He was a genius. But um... I wouldn't waste my time o "Diebuster" if I were you. Gainax made if painfully clear that the 2000's weren't the 1980's.

[@NA-Zerosteel]

Don't feel ashamed, that's what we call 'Lágrimas de Macho.' I shed a couple too.

[@yocyoku]

When Jaxa's asteroid exploration vessel "Hayabusa" returned to Earth, there were many posts in Japan saying "Okaerinasai" (welcome back).

[@unorganicapple7588]

That's the promise Jung made to Noriko before escaping. After returning to Earth, a Coup d'etat by the Space Force has occurred. she became the first President of the Galactic Federation. After becoming president, she set up a mission to rescue Gunbuster, but it failed and she went into cold sleep. The facility where she was sleeping was discovered after 12000 years. And when Noriko returned, Jung kept her promise. Nice, Big 'Welcome Back'

[@ginnfreecs2994]

The Best Anime with the ending is both shown 13years on a sequel.

[@regtiangha]

I came from the future and the v2 rewatch for the water works since I'm new to the channel and I wasn't disappointed, lol. Hope you're enjoying Diebuster!

[@NA-Zerosteel]

Imagine if the author of : "Girls' Last Tour" think of it as an alternate continuation of this anime.

[@Raktus]

I've never seen that show >.>

[@PainXIII12]

31:21 real

[@pseudopulk3478]

i also cried manly tears

[@25andromede]

thx for the reaction ! I was checking your channel and I couldnt find diebuster

[@Raktus]

I didn't get to Diebuster in my solo reactions, we re-did Gunbuster as a duo recently and will be doing Diebuster as well.

[@25andromede]

@@Raktus is there a way for me to watch it ? i cant see it in the channel

[@Raktus]

@@25andromede It's on the weekly posted schedule when it's available and where.

[@MrKmoconne]

I've had an image in my head of what the reception Noriko and Amano received when they returned to earth, but how could you welcome two people who have saved the human race from extinction?

[@齋藤秀樹-p8c]

うちの子にこの作品を見せたい

[@下手の横好き-l2i]

According to this authors, The work is set in a setting where Japan won World War II and is a parody of a world where Japan was the world's most advanced military power. The years 1988 and 1989, when this work was published, marked a turning point for Japan. The soldiers who survived World War II had ended their lives, and Emperor Showa - as you know Hirohito - had passed away. This work is also a requiem for World War II and the cold war after it.

[@lunestella3783]

Thank you for watching this work. I comment using Google Translate. The sense of despair felt from the overwhelming difference in quantity. This episode was inspired by a black-and-white movie of the Battle of Okinawa. At that time, the Japanese military reported to Tokyo that visibility was 30% sea and 70% enemy. This episode is set because it is a recorded video from 12,000 years ago. The characters are inverted because the exact characters from that time have been lost.

[@ガスナー栄郎]

Diebuster makes this series whole

[@muazweirdo]

THIS. to be honest, at first I didn't know, and watched Diebuster first thinking they weren't actually connected just perhaps happening in the 'same universe'. boy the rush of feelings afterwards was unmatched.

[@SCharlesDennicon]

Diebuster is a farce and an insult to Gunbuster.

[@森田泰三-m7z]

なんで声撮り直したんだろう 昔の演技の方が良いのに・・・。

[@kk-xp7it]

いらないですよね、リマスター

[@dejiko2010]

"WELCOME BACꓘ "was correct
