Diebuster: Difference between revisions

 

The parallels between ''[[Gunbuster]]'' and ''[[Diebuster]]'' are readily apparent. Both series focus on two girls - one, a hyperactive girl with natural talent but no actual skill; the other, a more stoic figure, a veteran of training, and the one person her compatriot idolizes. Both stories revolve around human emotion and the draining effect a drawn-out war can have on the combatants and their relationships. They both idealize the principle, common to the [[Super Robot]] genre, that with hard work and determination, and [[The Power of Friendship]], anything is possible. Finally, they also realize, rather poignantly, that even with incredible power, [[Pyrrhic Victory|sacrifices must be made.]] The duology is a testament to the Mecha genre, and the talent of [[Studio Gainax]], and should definitely be watched by any anime fan.
