Fort Max Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 It looks nice but the joints are a nightmare, WolfX has the right idea, namely waiting for the SOC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noriko Takaya Posted February 21, 2006 Author Share Posted February 21, 2006 I got mine to stand in the pose as described in the pictures, as well as the lightning kick pose. You just have to fiddle with it. Since I am such a Gunbuster nut, I had to get it anyways, so I got two. One to play with, the other to leave right in the box.

Mercurial Morpheus Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 (edited) I found this looking for other things. Is this already known of, or something new? I assume the former since the pics were found on a page dedicated to a 2004 con, but I don't remember seeing this. It looks positively awesome. http://wildbear.ddo.jp/WF04S%20014.jpg http://wildbear.ddo.jp/WF04S%20017.jpg There appears to be a prototype in the background in this pic. http://wildbear.ddo.jp/WF04S%20016.jpg Apparently retails for 9500 yen.

Spatula Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 So I recently finished up to episode 4 of 6 for Top o Nerae 2. Dude, Nono's got some issues (getting all raged up, how???). But that aside, this is perhaps one of the most hilariously "abused" scenes where EVERYTHING blows up in a spectaular fashion. I like things that go boom. I liked episode 4 a lot, even though it's cliched that nono goes beserk. Dude, the Death Star's got nuttin up against this. Well actually a lot of sci-fi anime I've seen can easily own the Imperial Fleet. Send Lucy and Minako onto any Star Destroyer and they can pretty much walk around laying waste on the storm troopers. Back to Gunbuster 2. What relation (if any, besides the busters) does this have with the 1st series? I've never seen GB1/Top o Nerae 1. Give me some 411 (wiki doesn't say too much). Some1 guide me into the gunbuster world, plz and thx. Also send me links for the GB1 torrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Togo Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 What relation (if any, besides the busters) does this have with the 1st series? I've never seen GB1/Top o Nerae 1. Give me some 411 (wiki doesn't say too much). 372322[/snapback] Almost none, really. Its a homage piece, as the original Top was. Where Top paid homage to anime of the 70's and 80's, Top2 does this with the 90's and 00's. Its really a re-imaging more than a sequel.

I think they'll tie it back eventually even if they don't spell it out to you. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...ic=10410&st=640 Theories at best, but pretty good ones. It would probably help if you rewatched Gunbuster and then Diebuster shortly after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though if this is an homage piece then those guys have littered the entire series with little otuka-like hints. I mean hell #4 had Nono going Might Morph'n/Kirider on us!! Spatula, dude!

wolfx Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I would agree its a homage to recent anime and the old gunbuster, but i don't agree it would have nothing that ties back to the original. I'm quite sure they will tie in, based on some stuff that i've already stated and observed before. 1.) The Variable Gravity Wave is one of the original Uchuu Kaijun. Lark mentions its not a Topless but a "REAL" Space Monster suggesting what they were fighting all along aren't the real ones. Rewatched Top1 and confirmed design of VGW is the same as Top1 space monsters. 2.) Nono mentioned the Terran Imperial Space Force which was the original space government in Top 1. Her eyes (after powerup) and buster corp are in the shape of the Terran Imperial Space Force's logo. 3.) Nono is Buster Machine Seven, continuing the number range used in Top1 whereas the new Buster Machines are numbered in Latin, probably continuing the series since Dix-Neuf is 19. 4.) There is no more Jupiter. Jupiter was used as mass to activate the black hole bomb (buster machine 3) in Top 1. Now we have the red milkyway probably after effects of the bomb and the new aliens who are called the Jupiter Express. That's why i am convinced it will tie back in and will prove itself to be a sequel to the original Top1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THANKS DUDE! But, herm strange, I find Nono just about has "attractive" as ... I dunno, some other cutesy ditzy anime chick? LYNN MINMAY! Yes, even though she's a robot and could split me from nave to chops, I'd still hit her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panon Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I would agree its a homage to recent anime and the old gunbuster, but i don't agree it would have nothing that ties back to the original. I'm quite sure they will tie in, based on some stuff that i've already stated and observed before. It's also fairly easy to miss that Jupiter colony in Diebuster is the remains of a Super Exelion class ship. I don't think the two will ever link together more than a few homages though. Nor do I want them too, since Diebuster as a whole is rather lacking, to put it mildly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noriko Takaya Posted February 22, 2006 Author Share Posted February 22, 2006 The Aim for the Top! DVD set that was released last year is nothing more than a digital remaster of the series with a lot of great extras, such as the inclusion of the final 2 science lessons from the okaerinasai laserdisc set as well as an uncropped version of episode 6. Hopefully when Aim for the Top! is finally released here in America, this is the set they will use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I managed to buy the first two seasons on DVD from a seller on eBay. Good thing I have a region free player. As for the site being scary, no it isn't... And by the way, the replica costume is something I came across and had to include on my site. And it is packed away in a vacuum sealed bag and stored away from all who would laugh at me.

Noriko Takaya Posted March 1, 2006 Author Share Posted March 1, 2006 Hey, I have seen these images before and have even corresponded with the young woman Hilary who cosplayed as Noriko. I've been wanting to add a cosplay page to my site for a while, but have been unable to find any attractive images which would look good. Hilary and Ali did a lot of work on those costumes, almost 2 years, if I remember. I just wish they had done the shoes also... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
