Gunbuster

This week, we start a series of looks at early Gainax shows, starting with Gunbuster. This episode suffered many recording difficulties, and so some of it was patched from multiple sources. We apologise for this.

CW: Imperialism, Gainaxing (including full frontal female nudity)

The Anime Research Group is a weekly podcast about all the anime we never got round to watching. Episodes contain spoilers for early episodes of the shows, and ill-informed speculation on future episodes.  There are a few instances of cursing.

You can find us on twitter @research_anime or on youtube. New episodes are coming every Thursday.
