>>23205660>I've always been very impressed with Gunbuster at how it managed to have an extremely tragic ending without even killing anyone off. The moment where Noriko cries out for Kimiko's forgiveness is just heartbreaking.Exactly. It felt like a very optimistic story without being too saccharine. This is where Diebuster failed by comparison. You could cope that Nono's not completely dead, but that's kinda silly.
>Those are fighting words to some people, the way the drama over Smith happens in particular happens within the span of a single episode seems to really bother a lot of the hatersConsidering that they only had 6 episodes, I'd say they did a great job pacing it without feeling rushed or hectic. Again, somewhat of a problem with Diebuster, and how a lot of stuff seems to happen off-screen (like how Nono suddenly started feeling inferior to Lal'C while Lal'C acted flippantly towards Nono around episode 3, for seemingly no reason).
>also why did you bump this dumbass thread instead of making a new oneI don't really have anything else to say about it, so making a separate thread felt like a waste.
