DIEBUSTER BD BOX SET .com The Gunbuster the Movie consists of recut footage from the original six-part OVA (Gunbuster, 1988) with a new 5.1 audio remix and a new dub by the original Japanese cast. When she was a child, Noriko's father was killed in humanity's first battle with aliens from the galactic core. At the Okinawa Girls' Space Pilot High School, Noriko meets her future partner Amano, and Coach Ohta, who served with her father. Noriko displays little aptitude for steering mecha, but Ohta sees hidden potential. Soon Noriko is in space, piloting the experimental robot-suit Gunbuster and fighting alien ships that resemble giant sea slugs. The original OVA suffered from too much story; cutting the running time down to 95 minutes only exacerbates the problem. Characters appear and disappear before they register. Gunbuster marked the first commercial success for the Gainax studio and the directorial debut of Neon Genesis Evangelion creator Hideaki Anno. There's little foreshadowing of Anno's later brilliance except for the dramatic use of black and white in what was originally the last episode, set 12,000 years in the future. Diebuster the Movie mixes big chunks of the second OVA (Diebuster, a.k.a. Gunbuster 2, 2004) with some bits of new animation. Except for the universe in which the stories are set, the links between the films are minimal. The second feature overflows with elaborate CG effects, brilliant colors and fan service panty shots. But the flamboyant visuals can't disguise the utter incomprehensibility of the plot. Ditsy waitress Nono wants to become a mecha pilot but can't because she's really a sexy android. Somehow she transforms into a being with godlike powers who saves humanity from "fluctuating gravity wells," alien monsters that recall the Jovian chulips in Martian Successor Nadesico. The third disc of bonus material includes a stage appearance by the cast and staff, a discussion of the re-recording session for Gunbuster, the Japanese trailer for Diebuster, and promotional audio materials that are available only in Japanese. Both films are in Japanese only with subtitles. (Rated 13 and older: violence, tobacco use, nudity) --Charles Solomon ## Images ![Gunbuster vs. Diebuster: Aim for the Top! - The Gattai!!

That or watch it illegally on a streaming website. Of the three options, this Blu-Ray is proof that the latter is your best bet. There is absolutely no reason for a "movie" cut of Gunbuster or Diebuster to exist in this day and age, where DVDs can cram 5 episodes on a single DVD, and even more on a Blu-Ray. The original uncut version of Gunbuster is only six 20-minute episodes long, same for Diebuster. That compounded with the fact that the individual disks don't have special features, said features saved for a third disk, makes it baffling as to why we can't just get all six episodes on either disk.Knowing that this OVA is only six episodes long, every second of every episode is important. In order to make the episodes fit into a "movie" time slot, HALF of the OVA was omitted. Important characters only get one or two scenes, important relationships spring out of nowhere as opposed to being built up, none of the science or backstories are well-explained besides some bare essentials, and important character arcs are left incomplete. The end result is a blink-and-you'll-miss-it anime movie where someone that has no skill or qualifications is sent to space where her incompetence gets people killed, but she saves the day anyway because her machine is overpowered. This is not the uplifting, triumphant experience it was meant to be.In conclusion, the only thing that would motivate anyone to purchase this set is the moral obligation to support the creators, who's work has been heavily modified to the point where all of their original intent is completely lost and all emotional attachment is severed. I cannot condone purchasing this product, both as someone that enjoys anime and as someone that enjoys the art of film-making. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ An old clasic, with a new chapter! *by V***K on Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2015* The Robo-Mecha movie that started it all. An Oldie, but still good! Add to it a new Chapter to the story with a new updated animation... a must have!! This starts with an old classic, and they add in a new chapter that tells the story of what happened during those long years the original GunBuster team was away! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Four Stars *by E***. on Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2017* Good but they cut out a lot of scenes in the first half of Gunbuster. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/3541311-gunbuster-vs-diebuster-aim-for-the-top-the-gattai-movie](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/3541311-gunbuster-vs-diebuster-aim-for-the-top-the-gattai-movie) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
