Gunbuster OVA is a theatrical, bittersweet master piece that stands up to this day. While some may say that its animation style is outdated, every animation form has its own unique charm. The show takes you on a unique ride through a mix of action, complex temporal relationships, and heartbreak. It was both a commercial and theatrical success in its time and continues to be a good choice to watch to this day. Coming from the same Company who worked on Neon Genesis Evangelion, Gurren Lagann, and helped with the Animation Assistance for Ranma ½, Pokémon 2000, Pokémon Heroes, and several other anime. Overall, despite its age hence dated animation style, this classic still gets my recommendation to binge.
