wolfx Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 BOME's Buster Machine Nana-gou. http://www.amiami.com/shop/?vgForm=Product...ate=review.html
jwinges Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 God damnit, now I want that too! I think I bought that when I was in Japan. I haven't even opened it yet.
Mercurial Morpheus Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 I must say that I like it. Quite a bit so. Speaking of BOME, I finally got my Noriko (had my friends ribbing me for "hugging" the packaging [noting compared to when I finally found the Kotobukiya]. I was mostly just relieved that I didn't have to worry about passing it up at cons any more.). She makes a nice counterpart to the Kotobukiya, especially with the Kaiyodo Gunbuster in the background. (even the new Shammy gashapon in the foreground goes nicely.)

(even the new Shammy gashapon in the foreground goes nicely.) Pictures? BTW, I finally got my Bandai Nono, and I actually like it a whole lot more than I thought I would. I'm still going to get the Bome too though.
kung flu Posted July 3, 2007 Posted July 3, 2007 My Gunbuster 2 vol 2 & 3 dvds have arrived, but wasn't home to get them, now I have to go to the post office to pick them up Even more worried about the terrorist attack, so near my home town, who would have thought. I've never seen so many police helicopters in my life, its hard getting any sleep with all the bloody noise.
TheLoneWolf Posted July 7, 2007 Posted July 7, 2007 Anybody know what this is? Gunbuster meets Evangelion?
Valkyrie Posted July 7, 2007 Posted July 7, 2007 Anybody know what this is? Gunbuster meets Evangelion? If I remember right, it's from some Gainax crossover video game. Sega Saturn or PS1, I think. On an unrelated note, I picked up volumes 1 and 2 of Gunbuster 2 recently. I was quite impressed. The video quality is excellent, and the translations are much better than the fansubs. And to top it off, they come with 20 pages of translated liner notes each! The books alone make them easily worth the $30 price tag.
Mercurial Morpheus Posted July 7, 2007 Posted July 7, 2007 (edited) Actually, I remember it being this elaborate artbook of theirs. Full of official nude pics, crossovers, and what-ifs (like Asuka as Sherlock Holms). Pictures? BTW, I finally got my Bandai Nono, and I actually like it a whole lot more than I thought I would. I'm still going to get the Bome too though. Sure, if I can get my pics on my cell offloaded, and you don't mind so-so quality. Edited July 7, 2007 by Mercurial Morpheus
Keith Posted July 7, 2007 Posted July 7, 2007 Exactly. People may complain out the wazoo about Bandai Visual's pricing, but they're delivery the goods to match. Can't wait to see what they're going to do with MS IGLOO.
kung flu Posted July 7, 2007 Posted July 7, 2007 the pricing is not that bad in my opinion, thanks to the strong pound against the week dollar, importing dvds have never been so cheap
TheLoneWolf Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 If I remember right, it's from some Gainax crossover video game. Sega Saturn or PS1, I think. You're right, it's been so long that I forgot about that game. Thanks Valk!
lord_breetai Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 Actually, I remember it being this elaborate artbook of theirs. Full of official nude pics, crossovers, and what-ifs (like Asuka as Sherlock Holms). It could always be both! those are obviously art books scans though but that dosn't mean it isn't in a video game. There are lots of Gainax crossover games, like Gainax Majhong and stuff.
Los Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 Finally watched Disc 3 of Gunbuster last night. To be honest, I wasn't really into the first 2 discs but the last one was pretty cool.
jwinges Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 Anybody know about this Gunbuster vs. Diebuster liscense that rightstuf is reporting?
Noriko Takaya Posted July 14, 2007 Author Posted July 14, 2007 Anybody know about this Gunbuster vs. Diebuster liscense that rightstuf is reporting? It's the film that was released in Japanese theaters highlighting both series in a condensed version. There was even new footage added to Gunbuster for this release, featuring the original voice actors. Bandai will be releasing it sometime in the future.
Keith Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 Novermber-ish it should be out in 2 versions. Disc's only, and limited edition with figures (same as released with the R2 box).
Noriko Takaya Posted July 16, 2007 Author Posted July 16, 2007 Well, the schedule for Otakon has been released and it looks like they will be showing "Gunbuster vs. Diebuster" Friday morning starting at 11:00 a.m. in video room 3. I'll probably be there to see this (at least the first part), so if any of you guys here on this site want to meet me, I'll be happy to wait for you. Keep an eye out for the fat guy with the black GITS messenger bag and the impossibly cute friend of mine who is attending with me this year. Mind you, she is not a fan of Gunbuster, so I may have to ditch her for a while.

Possibly an animation of the final battle at the end of Top 1?
Keith Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 I don't think top 1 had any new footage, aside from maybe a pan or 2. And the new footage in top 2 was pretty sparse as well.
Fort Max Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 I wonder if gainax are planning a rebuild of Gunbuster.
Duke Togo Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 I wonder if gainax are planning a rebuild of Gunbuster. Why? Its perfect.
Duke Togo Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 Because they like money? You do realize what a disaster the original Eva production was, don't you?
jwinges Posted July 21, 2007 Posted July 21, 2007 Anybody notice the appearance of Nono and Lark in ep 6 of Gurren Lagann? Rei, Auska, and Maharo make have a cameo as well.
Mercurial Morpheus Posted July 21, 2007 Posted July 21, 2007 (edited) Anybody notice the appearance of Nono and Lark in ep 6 of Gurren Lagann? Rei, Auska, and Maharo make have a cameo as well. It wasn't just them, Jung and Kashiwara were there for certain. I believe so was Kazumi. Noriko might have been in at the end, though the only evidence is that the other three appear right before a girl with chin length brown hair. Edited July 21, 2007 by Mercurial Morpheus
Noriko Takaya Posted July 21, 2007 Author Posted July 21, 2007 Well, after my first two days at Otakon, I am exhausted. I had a blast this time around and walked off with too much stuff. My three teen-age charges who I chaparoned also had fun, but I think I went a little overboard. Alright, back on topic... I loved the Gunbuster vs Diebuster film. It was really great seeing them on a big screen. Yes, you heard right. I actually liked seeing Diebuster. And the way they edited a lot of the goofier stuff from the original seemed to fit really nice, although when they started Gunbuster off with the prologue from episode two it kind of confused me. I was thinking "Are they bypassing episode 1 all together?" I will be buying this release when it comes out, and I may just try a little harder to give Nono and company another chance. One of the other things which made this con nice for me was they offered a Gunbuster badge this year. My scanner is down right now, so I will scan a copy of it and post it in this reply when I get around to it. And I'm also kicking myself for not buying those two Gunbuster cels of Jung and Noriko, but I did not have a grand to get them.
Mercurial Morpheus Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 Hey guys, any idea on where this came from? http://tinyurl.com/27w7rr Another one to add to the list. At least that's some good news. Seeing how i got ripped off a few days ago and my Gunbuster CDs were among the stuff stolen.
wolfx Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 A new noriko figure by Wave. http://www.hobby-wave.com/LINE_UP/kanseihi...riko/index.html Its not even out yet.
kung flu Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 A new noriko figure by Wave. http://www.hobby-wave.com/LINE_UP/kanseihi...riko/index.html Its not even out yet. not bad, I might get it though I still like the bome noriko better.
Mercurial Morpheus Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 As much as I like the Bome, this one looks a lot nicer (likeness, pose, removable sweater).
Noriko Takaya Posted August 2, 2007 Author Posted August 2, 2007 As much as Noriko is my favorite character, I really would like to see Kazumi and Jung figures also. I will be getting this one also. My collection grows.
Mercurial Morpheus Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 I agree there. We need more Kazumis and Jungs. Heck, I wouldn't mind a Coach, Captain and even a Smith.
kung flu Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 (edited) As much as I like the Bome, this one looks a lot nicer (likeness, pose, removable sweater). your right about the likeness, but its the pose that doesn't appeal to me, I've always preferred my figures in a standing position, because it saves a lot of shelf space Edited August 5, 2007 by kung flu
