On this episode, join Diana, Sam, Kate, Dennis, Karen, & Ed as they discusss the 1988 OVA series Aim for the Top! Gunbuster, one of Gainax's earliest releases. How many parodies is too many parodies? Do the mechs have to take a fitness test too? And are those really regulation space suits? You'll have to mostly ignore some of the pseudo-science included in the show, even if the post episode science lessons are fun, but we'll get through this series thanks to hard work and guts!
