For me, the most amazing thing is even 12.000 years has passed, earth still remember the 2 gunbuster pilots and welcoming them home. Truly magnificent ending
Ironically that's not as amazing as it sounds, since anime has gotten progressively worse since the nineties and eighties. So it actually makes perfect sense that something this beautiful would have happened in the eighties instead of like 2012 or something.
@@ThatGamingAsshole Wow "old thing good new thing bad", how scathing, that's a fresh and original take I've never heard before. Did you form this opinion from actually watching modern anime or do you just go around saying this for the fake oldhead clout?
@@youngkappakhan uh yes, I've seen enough of it to know that I don't like it. I'm probably old enough to be your father, so I imagine I've seen more than you. Or should I sit through more My Hero Academia before I speak out of turn?
What's so heartwarming about the scene is the fact that the lights turned on right after the message had been shown to both of them. Despite the 12,000 years that passed. Humanity didn't just remember the two girls who saved them, but they were now unified enough to have everyone in earth turn off their lights at the same time, just to give their two heroes the "welcome back" that they rightfully deserve.
@@ShinkuDragonI don't think the language itself survived, but the phrase did just so they can welcome back their heroes no matter how long it takes. Cause I think the words aren't even really spelled correctly, the last character is backwards, but it still sends the message.
That's the promise Jung made to Noriko before escaping. After returning to Earth, she became the first President of the Galactic Federation. After becoming president, she set up a mission to rescue Gunbuster, but it failed and she went into cold sleep. The facility where she was sleeping was discovered in Episode 6 of Diebuster. And when Noriko returned, Jung kept her promise. 'Welcome Home'
After an exhausting journey in deep cold space to protect the one place you call home, you are greeted with warm open arms as the entire human race welcomes you home. This is my favorite ending in all of anime, and one of the only things that can relieve me of any pain. Thank you Gunbuster, and goodbye.
This scene was so heartbreaking to see such a powerful machine nearly destroyed like that and that it was nothing short of a miracle that it along with Noriko and Kasumi survived an explosion of that magnitude and that they survived the 12,000 year long journey home but what also was really touching is that they're friend and comrade Jung kept her promise when all those lights lit up in huge writing 'WELCOME BACK' to her 2 friends.
@@dj-eme For real. This ending still hits me hard in the feels. Then, when you finish watching the mediocre Daibuster, that ending is like a solid right hook to the feels.
In 100 years when all of the shovelware CGI mecha anime of the 2010s has been forgotten and exist as a footnote in an old wiki archive at most, the cultural critics and historians are STILL going to be talking about Gunbuster. Sometime in the real 22nd century, someone is going to show this series on a reproduction of an old early 2000s blu-ray player, and people will be moved to tears by its warmth, sincerity and spirit all over again. This anime is deeply meaningful in my life. I saw it shortly after losing my own father and at a time when my personal problems and the state of the world seemed just beyond hopeless. I was on antidepressants and every day was a struggle for the will to go to school, to take care of myself, to even get out of bed. And somehow, this silly, outdated, fanservice-laden 1980s anime about robots fighting space bugs inspired me to have hope for the future. That my life isn't meaningless. That I'm not undeserving of anyone caring about me. This is animation at its most uplifting.
I love all anime, from the greats to the generic slop, and yet I agree few will be remembered like Gunbuster will I'm glad you're doing a bit better in life these days, and I'm happy an anime I love so much helped you in your time of need
Amen! That needs to be included in the future thesis for this series. We're never going to see the kind of ovas with the high production values and the real experimental stuff that we saw back in the '80s and '90s. We're never even going to see the ongoing series like Sailor Moon or Kimagure Orange Road that we saw back in the '80s and '90s. Everything now is just made for shonen jump, where it's all just like "madcap quirky characters lol" and it's all just some kind of weird variant of Naruto or One Piece or whatever. This is what anime is supposed to fucking look like!
1:08 - 2:12 (Down below) "I don't think I've ever seen a god. But if gods made wishes, too, who would they wish to? I've been awaiting this night for so long. I want more then anything to meet her and speak with her... about you, who was always smiling. After all, the legendary girl you always looked up to, Nonoriri is coming home tonight." _That night, Buster Machines No. 1 and 2, along with their pilots, returned home._ _WELCOME HOME._
And then in somewhere down there was Lal'c waiting for Noriko to say her how much she inspired Nono......goddamn this and Die Buster have my favorite endings, always make me cry.
The ending of die buster was so brilliant because you think it's just some kind of reboot or something to Gunbuster, you never think that it's an actual literal sequel, and then you realize that everything that's been happening over the course of that series was literally occurring in the last ten years or so of Noriko and Kazumi's return to Earth...wow.
The original of all Gainax endings. The protagonists are victorious and earth survives but it's a bittersweet victory. They are welcomed home by the descendants of those who knew them. When you are still remembered after 12 millennia have passed you are nothing short of legendary ❤❤❤❤❤
This ending hit me in the feels so hard..... then I watched diebuster2 and got to the end, it absolutely broke me. what a great way to pay homage to the original
Hell, our entire civilization is less then 12,000 years old. Through 12,000 years, humanity still remembers them, still consider them heroes and that theres a home for them to come back to. i laugh and cry at the first time seeing it.
Man if you don't cry in this ending... I remember buying the whole serie in DVD I watched all of it late at night when I was still in my parents home in the main room in a big TV. It was 4 of the morning, I cried of emotion a lot. A great memory of me enjoying a great ending and how amazing can be an end of a story. The humankind has the power to make such emotional and beautiful things.
To be honest when I first saw this scene when Noriko and Kazumi returned home from they're 12,000 year journey and they first saw Earth and didn't see any lights until all those lights lit up in the form of 'Welcome BACK' like Noriko and Kazumi I almost honestly thought Humanity was gone and they were all that was left right upto the big reveal with those words from Jung lit up like millions of Christmas lights was a real surprise and a miracle.
The second the reprise of Noriko's theme begins and the lights begin to turn on to welcome Noriko and Amano home, the waterworks switch on for me. EVERY! FUCKING! TIME!
La musica... El contexto... la animacion.... las voces... la ambientacion... TODO PERO TODO ES PERFECTO!!!!!! Este es el final mas PERFECTO Del ayer y hoy, nada lo superará.❤❤❤❤
I've known Gunbuster for so long playing Super robot wars in Japanese, and just watched the 6 episode OVA's today for the first time. And it made me cry it's too good
The message is written in Katakana to make it more accesible and easy to remember thorugh millenia. One of the characters is backwards, that could imply that probably humanity has forgotten Japanese in some way, but they all decided to turn their lights and use a dead language to welcome back their biggest heroes in history. Just chills everytime i see it
Wonderful ending! Something a little like this happened in real life. In 1962 astronaut John Glenn flew over nightime Perth, Australia. They turned on all their lights to greet him, and he thanked them. Gunbuster forever and ever! John Lockwood.
Hace 5 años que me vi Gunbuster pero cada vez que vuelvo a ver el final simplemente lloro de la alegría por tan hermoso final Muchas gracias por existir Gunbuster
I loved how it just leaves Earth on screen leaving you to wonder what Earth in 12000 years, almost 6 times longer than our recorded history, could possibly be like. And why the イ in オカエリナサイ is backwards
@@CyonLaelaps It was probably purposefully recorded and studied for the day they arrived. Plus through digitization it probably became easier to keep amd hold records
Okairinasai, I Liked this series a lot and have it on VHS. My Young cousin from the US used to watch it when she arrived in Tokyo at age seven and it was on TV. It helped her to learn how to speak Japanese. She adapted to Japan and Tokyo superbly.
Honestly while I like Gunbuster before the last 2 episodes I wouldn't call it anything more than good, but the final episode truly is fucking phenomenal. Mecha's a genre that really delivers on those amazing endings and Gunbuster still manages to stand at the top. I only watched this recently for the first time with a friend and we were both blown away by this. Naturally it's a lot easier to hold in emotions when watching with a friend but whenever I revisit this scene I've literally not once been able to hold in the emotions. While I do think Anno's made better things than Gunbuster this scene is without a doubt his finest moment. It's everything that makes anime a beautiful medium.
I'm not a huge fan of the first episode but that's it. To its credit though it still does serve its purpose as a test of the viewer's ability to suspend their disbelief regarding how nutty the plot is, like yeah we're doing Top Gun except in space, with robots piloted by schoolgirls, and you better be ready for that. Everything thereafter is fantastic however and it just gets better and better before culminating at the ending
I remember seeing briefly in one of the episodes of GunBuster 2 where they showed the Eltreum floating adrift in space so something must've happened to it years after the Black Hole Bomb was detonated or during it's escape along with what was left of it's fleet and I also saw the ending of GunBuster 2 on RUclips where they showed everything going on on Earth when it was revealed GunBuster had come home and all the lights all over the planet being turned off for the big reveal and seeing all those lights for the words 'Welcome BACK' lighting up with one of the main new characters saying how she was looking forward to meeting Noriko and Kazumi and seeing them coming down and seeing the words 'The Night Buster Machines 1 and 2 and they're pilots returned home' man that was a touching moment.
1:44 Makes my heart so happy! I only got to know Noriko for 6 episodes, but to see her so happy after ALL that she’s been through. What a ride! Like with Akiba Maid Wars, the only complaint I have is that I wished both series should have been longer because of how well they were written. Then again, maybe it was part of their charm, short but sweet.
I thought I wanted a second season of Akiba Maid War while watching it but the ending was so good that I changed my mind. I would be OK with an in-between movie or ONA showing more of their regular cafe antics, at the most.
When I listen to the music entitled "Beyond the River of Time", it reminds me of a combination of the drama, space, classic, and fantasy theme. More original compared from a later design concept by Studio Ghibli (Laputa) and Sunrise (Gaogaigar) combined together.
I was watching this episode again on Crunchyroll and got confused... Because I remember distinctively that it turned colored at the end credit after Noriko and Kasumi eject from Gunbuster, but on Crunchyroll it remained black and white... This is how I remember it.
It would be funny if in 12000 years this anime still existed in the memory of someone. But well...first i have to hope that even anime would be remembered that long. Great ending, almost cried.
where can I find more old anime BGM like this? this has such a distinct sound... it reminds me of the End of Evangelion track that plays before/during Misato's death
This is amazing, Having to know that everything they fought for could had been gone. The desperation seeing that 12000 years have passed, that moment is just too deep. “Why did we sacrifice for humanity? When we didnt even have a chance to live as a human.” All the people they loved, loved them, remembered them, were all perished. What was the point. That could be the logical ending without any further explanation is needed. Hell, how many times we almost killed ourselves or annihilated by natural disasters. We are glad the writer gave us a happy ending.
Not enough people talk about how the choice of black and white for the finale was all so color could be restored in the final shot. Huge contributing factor in why it hits me like a truck.
For me, the most amazing thing is even 12.000 years has passed, earth still remember the 2 gunbuster pilots and welcoming them home. Truly magnificent ending
And ...... all of this animation and story are done in 1989.
Ironically that's not as amazing as it sounds, since anime has gotten progressively worse since the nineties and eighties. So it actually makes perfect sense that something this beautiful would have happened in the eighties instead of like 2012 or something.

The ending really put tears in my eyes 😭
golden age...
where can I find more old anime BGM like this? this has such a distinct sound... it reminds me of the End of Evangelion track that plays before/during Misato's death
Spotifyにもありますよ。タイトルは「時の河を越えて…」
I'd recommend the Composers other works.
I'd also recommend Kenji Kawai and Nozomi Aokis work on galaxy express
that's such a good ending concept. Fuck I wish I watched this movie.
Arigatou Gunbuster!
In the original in the credits the planet don't appear nice touch
¡No estoy llorando, estoy limpiando mis ojos!

al final Jung cumplió su promesa de saludarlas con un gran Bienvenidas
im not crying im just expelling weakness through my tear ducts
Ohhhhh so that this is where Diebuster also end
Gunbuster > Evangelion.
Don't try to change my mind, you can not.

Still, it's possible to measure which he did better. I see why you don't want to pick one over another, but still.
