Loved this, Nono's a really fun character to watch and the animation is on point for late era Gainax.

I kinda have mixed feelings about this. One the one hand the animation is superb and the characters are likeable.

But on the other this feels a bit odd. The OG Gunbuster despite having giant mechs fighting giant alien bugs IN SPACE! Felt very grounded, especially when it came to the characters both when it came to their actions and appearance.

Here, they both act and look like typical anime characters, with exaggerated movement , facial expressions and colorful hair (granted in the OG Amano had blue hair but she was the only one), also talking cats.

The technology I dont mind because this is generations in the future and this legit looks like something the hellbend on survival humanity of this universe would invent.

All in all this seems pretty good, but as of now I have a hard time believing that it takes place in the same universe with Gunbuster

Wow! I've mostly been watching Gainax's 80s and early 90s stuff. Going from that to this..... So crazy :D I forgot how much they evolve as a studio! The story was pretty cool, but then stuff went crazy three quarters of the way through hahaha :) the animation was so beautiful! All of it! <3 I'm looking forward to this even if it doesn't make any sense:3

The switching between CG and hand drawn art for the buster machine was such a shame, could they really not have put in the extra time to avoid such an artistic blemish? The Eva Rebuilds were full of that as well, just makes it harder to immerse in the action when things look totally different from one scene to the next.
