Super Robot Wars α3 - Gunbuster

[alotosius]

Noriko! Your INAZUMA KICK is the kick that will pierce the HEAVENS!

[vanhiggins77]

I really wish Gainax would have added the totally not getter tomahawk into the anime.

[ShonenCat]

Is it wrong that Noriko's ultra vigorous and gar yelling gave me a boner?

[BrotherhoodOfTheDead]

@ShonenCat *hands you a card*

"We meet on thursdays, join the club"

[ShonenCat]

@BrotherhoodOfTheDead o.o what this card for? i don't even

[henritje19]

@ShonenCat it would be weird if you hadn't.

haaahahahahahaahahhahaah

see

[RavensNestStudios]

To the galaxy's back screen... GO FLYING!

[TheLeafhopper]

I seen Gunbuster but does anyone know the original title of the song used for battle at the beginning of this video?

[henritje19]

@TheLeafhopper Aim for the Top! Fly High

[TheLeafhopper]

@henritje19 I found it later but thanks anyway.

[Emeth0013]

2:15 = Home Run

[JessieUshiromiya]

BUSTER.. TOMAHAOUUUWKKK

[StriderHiryu1200]

Buster Home run!!!!!

[metalgeard222]

sorry noriko :(, ryoma wants his tomohawk back...

[suchiuomizu]

@metalgeard222 Would he? Considering that was a secret attack in Alpha 1 and it was learned after training with the Getter Team...

[wiessritter]

Noriko- because girls can be hotblooded too

[Colddirector]

So, umm, what's actually happening in that scene?

[Bloodsword83]

@Colddirector They're recreating the ending of Gunbuster, where Noriko rips Gunbuster's own reactor out to activate the black hole bomb. The only difference is that the other three aren't there in the anime. A

[RomanTix]

I love this. It features two of my favorite voice actresses, Noriko Hidaka and Kikuko Inoue, both of whom also had roles in Ranma 1/2 :)

[mwong666]

Fuck I can't get Inazuma kick yet until later!

[dapithapon]

girls battling humongous deformed penises

[INTERPK]

Did she just use a fucking baseball bat....

[FireBomberBassist]

@INTERPK Buster Homerun FTW.

[UnholyJesus181]

Summary:

Fire Turret (who the fuck are you and why the fuck are you in Gunbuster's video?)

Hands of GOd (a.k.a. the magic fingers)

Getter Tomahawk (wait, what?)

Getter Beam (the shock also comes from the discovery that there are two women in the mech)

Grand Slam (I hope they didn't break a someone's window)

Shocking Contact (she touched me inappropriately!)

Getter Kick (haha, just kidding)

[Meganinja15]

So let me see... Akira and Ryoma the older super robot pilots... with Gai and Noriko being from new super robot series that were meant to be homage to older super robots.. all in the same game. I really need to finish the alpha series now for this and Ibis =3

[godzilla4189]

Th elack of Gunbuster March in this gamer dissapoints.

[YaigaMamire]

Noriko is sooo awesome and hot blooded!

[AzureFayt]

super inazuma kick bitch!

[twitchykun]

Noriko = Simon's great-great-great-great-great-­great grandma.

[ThanatosZero]

@twitchykun

I bet, she would have been able to slaughter the Anti-Spirals with tied hands. Noriko! Go for it!

Show them all what courage and effort can do! *plays Gunmachine March*

We believe in you!

[MetalSonicMkIV]

Getter Robo & GaoGaiGar in the same room?

-MIND EXPLODES FROM SHEER GAR-

[supersaninpikachu]

@MetalSonicMkIV beleve me, this game blew my brains out about 3 years ago(when i learned about it) it has:

NGE

all sorts of gundam

GaoGaiGar

Getter Robo

and craploads of other otaku related stuff

[shippou55]

GETTAR I mean BUSTAAAAAAAH TOMAHKAWK!

[KDavisJr86]

He's wearing awesome gold armor; you can trust him!

[AioriadLeo]

The most fucking awesome fliying kick ever xD

[aeomasaki]

The Gunbuster Pose, will always be the legend that GAINAX created for us.

[Kobracondor]

OMG the ending was awesome. SRW really is the king of Cross-overs. Only with the help of 3 Super Robots could they avert the ending of the actual Gunbuster Anime.

Heck GUY would have sufficed but Shin Getter AND Raideen? She is SOOOO getting out safely.

[twitchykun]

It's simon and kamina...as hot girls.

[TheTraveler12]

are you serious.. gubuster 2.. while not nearly as good as the original.. was still good.. a little convoluted.. but the ending fit perfectly..

[Rodimus1138]

I could see a getter/buster tomahawk team-up move

[dgph0]

@Rodimus1138

Ryoma taught Noriko that.

[ThisSiteCutMyNameOff]

Banpresto needs to get it together and have Diebuster in the next console SRW, among other series such as Rebuild of Eva, Gundam 00, Code Geass, Macross F, and of course GURREN LAGANN.

[thewizardninja]

@ThisSiteCutMyNameOff

... That's a lot of licenses to pay for I hope you realise.

[ThisSiteCutMyNameOff]

@thewizardninja

Banpresto's been doing it for years.

But aren't all these games like this? I do see your point, however.

[godzilla4189]

@ThisSiteCutMyNameOff Don't forget DemonBane.

[ThisSiteCutMyNameOff]

@godzilla4189

How could I forget? Silly me. AFter all, I'd love to Giga Drill an Eldritch Abomination as much as the next guy...or shoot it with a Varis Cannon, or have my berserk humanoid cyborg decide to "Screw this, I'm punching out Cthulu. While I'm at it, I'll eat his innards as well, so I can elevate myself to Elder God status."

[kendrakirai]

@ThisSiteCutMyNameOff Unfortunately, Banpresto has a rule of 'three years'. Once a series has been non-current for three years, they'll add it. They only let SEED into Alpha 3 because it was so popular.

So it'll be 2013 at the earliest for Rebuild, probably closer to 2014.

[Strikerflame]

@kendrakirai Wrong. SRW L.

[kendrakirai]

@Strikerflame Really? Well then, I stand corrected. Though perhaps it fits under the 'SEED Exemption rule' by being popular. Or maybe it's a loophole since Rebuild is a remake of a series more than a decade old...Well, point remains, that with FEW exceptions, Banpresto has a 'three year' rule to avoid spoilers, since they basically retell the story in each game.

[Strikerflame]

@kendrakirai Yeah, pretty much.

[DrNightbringer]

Gunbuster is a show produced by GAINAX, featuring a robot that's 200 METRES TALL, uses a BASEBALL BAT, fights back literaly BILLIONS of enemies, and piloted by a girl who practically INVENTED FAN-SERVICE in robot animes. How much more could anyone ask for?

[kaiserxblue]

The Gunbuster robot does not use a baseball bat or a tomahawk....Those are this that Banpresto put in it for more attacks...

See the anime for yourself....

[faizalsotilleo]

Actually they were made by Gainax, but never made it into the show, similar to the G-3 Gundam and the F-type armor for Eva01

[countrybluegrass]

@kaiserxblue

No, they're from official media produced by Gainax. They were on a set of stickers or cards with a bunch of other attacks that don't appear in the anime.

[kaiserxblue]

@countrybluegrass

Perhaps you're right. But like yousaid before. Those are for media purposes only. Therefor to the are not official techniques(attacks). It's just for marketing so Gainax can sell their merchandise.

[exiaastraea00]

not in the anime but in the radio drama that accompanied it

[jensbuhler]

I thought it was 250m tall?

[Cashino0]

Absolute height is 250 m (going from foot to the top of the shoulders).

Height from head-to-toe is 200 m.

[jensbuhler]

Fair enough.

[twinkledryad]

@DrNightbringer how about asking for moe GUNBUSTER!!

[Karmoon7]

@DrNightbringer

How about that Gainax don't fap off a donkey on their greatest work and don't make a sequel which has shit pocking lips artwork, horrible sound track and a story which undermines the original? .... oh... too late...

Gunbuster is truly truly amazing.

[MidoBan85]

@DrNightbringer you forgot one of the most epic ending ever

[dgph0]

@DrNightbringer

More Fan-Service ;D

[Konotaru]

@DrNightbringer

Sorry pal, but fanservise invented by Sayaka from Mazinger Z.

[Night10194]

@DrNightbringer Narrative coherence and restraint.

[CheeseGundam]

@DrNightbringer

Sounds like you never watched Gunbuster. The baseball bat wasn't in the show.

[Gazyro]

@CheeseGundam

Actually. Look at the transformation from the 5th episode, as soon as the shoulders are shown you can see the getter tomahawk and the baseball bat.

[Geshpenst]

@DrNightbringer You forgot to mention "By the end of the series they had them mass produced".

[Zankjuyse]

@DrNightbringer Oh, I don't know...talent?

[TheBType]

@DrNightbringer

You could ask for real passion and deep emotional storytelling OH WAIT this show has that too mutherfucker!

Clearly one of the best things ever.

[dropthepin]

A giant robot that makes the Archangel look tiny in comparison. It DODGES.

OH MY GOD IT DODGES. *awesomesplode*

[RathalosAssassin]

Damn, I don't understand Japanese, nor do I have a JP PS2 so I'll never get to Inazuma Kick space monsters.

[theomadman]

@RathalosAssassin

there is alternatives

my freind plays this game and hes the same as you

[RitaChan00]

Knowing Japanese really does help given the amount of things you need to interact with... A Japanese TBS like SRW isn't as easy to play as a Japanese action game like GvG.

[theomadman]

@RitaChan00

your right

when my friend first got @3 we spent hours on seeing what everything does

lol it was kinda fun

[ferryarthur]

@RitaChan00 After you played an english og game its very easy. All the menu`s have the same basic setup. Idk any jp writing and i already played out like 5 srw games :P Only the story presents an actual problem.

[ferryarthur]

@RathalosAssassin You need neither, I play my srw games on my modded ps2 without knowing jp. After a while you will start to memorize everything, it has a really easy menu to remember. Alpha gaiden was translated btw.

[valnavat2nd]

I'm glad you added that last bit. That was one of the moments that defined SRW Alpha 3 for me.

[talesoftheabyssrocks]

The "Super Inazuma Kick" lacks the intense amount of GAR that made it so epic in the anime. :(

[shingetterg3]

buster beam is the 3rd strongest in the game and the anime

[TheOrkutGuy]

Seeing her using the Tomahawk and the Beam just makes me wonder...

Why the hell didn't Banpresto make any team attacks between Gunbuster and the Getters!?!?

[Omnicrom]

In SRW Alpha Buster Tomahawk was taught to Noriko by Ryouma and Buster Home Run by Benkei (who was a baseball star in the anime).

[TheOrkutGuy]

Well taught in my opinion.

[Gigaguy64]

1.17.

so it is a chick!!!!!

i couldent tell.

[sonickid101]

Im still waiting for Gunbuster Diebuster Evangelion and Gurren Lagann to be in the same SRW... one day I can have my GAINAX dream team

[captaincody27]

gurren lagann needs to get the fuck in there. GIGA DRILLAH!!!!

[aeomasaki]

too bad, even Chouginga GL would be TOOOOOOO huge to be fit in the game.....

[KingLazerman]

in a new super robot wars they need all the series they ever had in a game then, Code Geass, Transformers, Gurren Lagann, and Megas XLR(which is very unlikely since megas is and american cartoon and Coop would probly be so powerful he pwnt everything else, run like hell when you see a robot with a car for a head)

[MetalSonicMkIV]

In which case, they can simply make an American version of Super Robot Wars, with Megas XLR and newly-created mechs for the game.

[KingLazerman]

there's not enough american giant robot series, sad really. Megas and transformers are the only one that comes to mind

[Bloodtaker7]

Hate to break it to you but Transformers were first made in japan just like pwer rangers.

[KingLazerman]

I already knew that. However, they are considered american. Don't ask me how that works.

[faizalsotilleo]

The show was sort of a joint production between America and Japan.

[henritje19]

@captaincody27 maybe in the next SRW maybe we get a Double Inazuma kick (the Gurren Lagann can preform it so who knows?)

[Morzox]

Unfortunately, if I'm not mistaken, GAINAX has explicitly stated TTGL will NEVER be in an SRW game.

EVER.

[ShuHibiki]

Proof or gtfo.

[StarforceOnAir]

@Morzox NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! They probably don't want him in because he's TOO manly!

[WillRennar]

Well, I'd say that's a fairly dumb move on their part. I mean, seriously, what's the reasoning behind that? Too powerful? *coughideoncoughcoughgoldioncr­ushercough* Err, sorry, got something stuck in my throat there...still, unless their goal was simply to give their fans the finger, that's a pretty dumb move on their part.

Not that intentionally giving one's fans the finger is particularly smart either...

[Morzox]

Well, it IS GAINAX we're talking about here...

[Tsukasamacleod]

@sonickid101 What about Ideon?

[henritje19]

@sonickid101 maybe SRW Z3?

[Kopo14]

バスタァァァァトムホゥゥゥクシ！！

[CanoniX5000]

おっぱいのシーン省かれたな

[wiessritter]

was that a robot killing something with a bat O_O

[alotosius]

Gunbuster is just badass like that.

[wiessritter]

i prefer alteisen :D

[ThePuppet]

O__O Gunbuster dwarf's the Alt though!

[Fieryone233]

They're all Super Deformed so they can fit them on the screen.

Though in the game, I believe they see them all as their actual size.

[wiessritter]

well yes but gunbuster is a super robot and alts a pt so you cant really compare them.

alt just looks really cool ^^;

[superkeijikun]

Quick question: the setting is the final episode/Buster Machine 3/Blackhole Bomb, right?

[WaywardRyu]

Getter(Buster)....BEAAAAAM!

Am I the only one who would like to see that?

[Pepsi10]

That would be the sh!t! Getter, Buster BEAM! Getter Buster Tomohawk too!

[3XCL4M4t10N]

No, and you can see the Buster Tomahawks too. Gunbuster is a little tribute to Getter Robo series.

[Fragmeat666]

1:58 And it's OUTTA HERE!!!! THREE-RUN BOMB!!!

[MoogleEXE]

Still hoping for the day Diebuster and Gunbuster are in the same SRW and I get my Super Triple Inazuma Kick.

[Pepsi10]

Where are all these attacks coming from? I don't remember a Buster Tomahawk and baseball bat attack in the anime. Lol Cool though.

[MajingaZ]

The Buster Tomahawk and Buster Home Run attacks are from the radio dramas.

Buster Ring and Buster Cowboy where mentioned in those dramas too, but I have no idea what they do because they not appear in any Super Robot Wars game.

[toyohen]

super robot wars original weapon

Buster Tomahawk baseball bat attack

baseball bat attack this weapon name

is buster home-run

[sonickid101]

Its from their drama CD

[RitaChan00]

The blood blazes with this mix of awesome pilots....

[VenomGundam]

gunbuster and gao gai gar

now thats a team

[psychoreactive]

All I know is BASUTAA TOMAHOUKU!!

[teoteous]

Ah yes. Gunbuster. One of the first anime famous for 'interesting' physics of the human body. And a time when the Soviet Union still existed in real life.

Ah, the good old days(?)....

[cloudzeroriku]

B-baseball!?

[gesokubann]

スーパーロボットスピリッツは永遠に不滅です！！

[Cashino0]

Question: is there any other really hot-blooded female Super Robot pilot out there?

(Kusuha in a Gespenst does not count)

[EVA01X]

Several in fact

Godannar sees both Anna and Shizuru, Shin! (Change!) Getter Robo has Kei, G Gundam had Allenby, Evangelion has Asuka and of course Sequel Diebuster has Nono

They're there, you just have to look around a bit

[alotosius]

Long live hot-blooded girls!!

[EVA01X]

Damn right!

And now I feel really bad because I forgot Aoi from Dancouga Nova

Shinobu with tits, I tell you what...

[funkmastaC]

don't forget the Valsione pilot. any mech that has a face that mimics the owners is made for awesome.

[Levitz9]

That'd be Lune Zoldark.

Also, you're all forgetting Renais Cardia Shishio. She's--literally--the hottest cyborg there is.

[MetalSonicMkIV]

What is Lune piloting?

[Levitz9]

She pilots the Valsione.

[MajingaZ]

Only (Big)Volffog is authorized to cross his arms in the same awesome manner as Gunbuster.

[LadyMiaow]

This man speaks great truths.

[Kobracondor]

@MajingaZ A to the MEN

[Rodimus1138]

@MajingaZ Thats because he's the most badass police car ninja EVAR.

[aazh]

@MajingaZ

And only because Volffog is a ninja (more or less). Only ninjas and Gunbuster can do that. Just ask Schwartz Bruder.

[aazh]

@MajingaZ

And only then because he's a ninja, and that's a ninja thing to do (Schwatz Bruder thinks so to). Anyone else has to ask for permission first!

[SirColAmiX]

5:48 Emo! lol

[DarkVacxy]

yaya, all can make mistakes -_-'

[sanderkatz]

whoa whoa whoa, that final animation was in color but in the ova it was in black and white, what gives?

[mmzx1]

i would never play baseball with her

[HPQ5]

I would.

[ltlwatcher]

Does she have to scream?

[Matthew001]

Yes. It's one of the central rules of being a Super Robot pilot.

[killer0178]

It's the trademark of Gunbuster, watch the anime and you'll see ^^

[Fluid4]

0:47 - Is it possible to plagiarize moves? If so, this would be a pretty clear cut case.

[thisonesused]

There's no copyright on throwing axes.

[IZEASGT]

Does anybody ever forget the final scene of the last episode of Gunbuster? I can't imagine anyone doing so.

[akiratubo]

What was going on there at the end?

[TatsubeiYagyu]

Noriko and Kasumi were going to sacrifice themselves (for some reason, dunno, haven't played), and Jung was going to take their place. But they said they would do it. Then Ryoma, Guy, and Akira came and gave the two encouragement and energy for their final move.

Hope that helps :D

[santifacio]

Well, if you see the anime, then you will understand why they we're going to sacrifice themselves, and why Jung was there, because it isn't all like you said =P. Anyway, see Akira, Ryoma and Guy with'em in that moment it's incredibly epic!! it needs an anime version...less emo-shows and more hotblood, damnit!

[twitchykun]

Delicious Noriko. Mo'fuckin' Gunbuster. SRWAlpha3. What's not to like?

[Magilegend]

Gunbuster, Shin Getter Robo, Genesic GaoGaiGar, and Raideen gathered all in one spot= Epic+ Lots of win. X3

[CenturyEndSaviour]

"The Gunbuster has Coach's heart beating within it!"

[Omnicrom]

It's called "Aim for the Top! ~Fly High~"

Aim for the top is actually the name of the anime most people call Gunbuster, the name of the mech is actually the subtitle.

As for the song itself it rocks, it was played during Gunbusters absolute smackdown of the STMC near the end of the series.

[madsli]

what a catchy tune

[StarX555]

Was Gunbuster ever released stateside? I only recently got into anime, so I have no idea if it ever got dubbed/subbed by a US company. Heck, I dunno when gunbuster was even made <_<;;

On topic: lulz baseball pwnage

[suchiuomizu]

They released a box set over here back in February (it was made in 1988).

[StarX555]

Holy crap, it's older than I am o_o

Probably explains the overpoweredness of the gunbuster mech, and the fact that the character portraits do look aged compared to more recent animes. If the anime itself is good, though, age does not matter.....is it good? *is too lazy to dig out eps of it from torrent sites*

[yukigono]

Yes it is, very good. Perhaps one of the greatest super robot animes of all time. In my opinion at least.

[Moonbolt]

Gunbuster is not only good, it is awesome. Only six episodes long, the first three can be kind of slow for some people, but it picks up the pace in episode four and five especially. Noriko Takaya, the pilot, is my number one favorite female in anime and video games. Her voice actor is totally awesome when it comes to screaming those hot blooded attack names.

[IZEASGT]

She's the goddess of attack calls.

No, seriously: tvtropesDOTorg/pmwiki/pmwikiDO­Tphp/Pantheon/War

[Dtitilator]

She developed those well toned screams during her years voice acting for Akene Tendo of Ranma ½.

Search the "Baka song" here on youtube and you'll see her voicing dexterity.

[HeroCorruptor66]

what were Guy, Ryoma and Akira doin there?

[im50yearsold]

i lol'd

[PoshBishounen]

So basically dont mess with Gunbuster?

[alotosius]

With 2 power cores pumping out more power then the sun and enuf firepower to take out 3 million alien ships 70 miles long in one shot, the Gunbuster is on a different level of overpowered.

[MadGeneral]

It can also play baseball!

[krisslanza]

Can't forget about baseball.

Although really the Neo Granzon is on a whole another level of overpowered since the thing just conjures up black holes on demand and all.

[dapithapon]

That is love, her body.

[HanyouDante]

What song is used in this video?
