Classic Gunbuster Anime Returns to Theaters in Japan, Remastered
The wider world may know Hideaki Anno primarily for Neon Genesis Evangelion, but before that he made his name with the six-episode classic Gunbuster anime. Now, fans in Japan will be able to relive the magic thanks to a new remastered version of Aim for the Top! Gunbuster in theaters.
Featuring high-quality video and 5.1 surround sound, the theatrical version of Gunbuster will be based on the 2012 Blu-ray remaster. The screening will be split into two segments, with the first including episodes 1-4 and the second including 5-6, sans the Science Lesson shorts.
The Gunbuster anime screenings officially kick off in Japan on November 27, and those who attend will get a piece of film featuring an episode 1 scene as a bonus.
