Gunbuster: The Birth of Hideaki Anno’s Genius
Strap in, space cadets! This week, we’re traveling back to 1988 to talk about Gunbuster , the mecha masterpiece that marked Hideaki Anno’s directorial debut. Before Neon Genesis Evangelion melted our brains and crushed our souls, Anno was already laying the groundwork for his signature blend of sci-fi spectacle, deep existential themes, and—of course—giant robots with way too much emotional baggage. Join us as we break down the Top wo Nerae! legacy, explore the storytelling and stylistic connections between Gunbuster and Evangelion , and maybe shed a tear over six episodes of pure, high-energy, time-dilated heartbreak. Was Noriko the proto-Shinji? Is Gunbuster secretly Evangelion ’s cool aunt? And how did this anime set the stage for one of the most iconic creators in the industry? Fire up your gravity well, practice those Aim for the Top training montages, and let’s get into it!

The Anime Stigma
Unfortunately, what is most enjoyable to us is not enjoyed by most. The anime genre and community draws eyes and criticism - and we can agree for solid reasons. The humor, lolis, ecchi and cosplaying is not for everyone and can be off-putting if not ready or accustomed to the medium. However, just like normal cinema, not every anime is suited for all viewers. So we hope, that when you next recommending an anime to a normie, you pick an anime that best represents that viewer, their interests, and isn't filled with all the typical anime tropes that make the outside viewer cringe.
