Althought on a completely seperate note their bodies would be useless, after all those years in space their bone density and muscle mass would be soooooooooooooo low unless they had some sort of artificial gravity in place

(click to show/hide)Good point...but then again if they had records that far back, why didn't they have the details on the first generation buster defence thingies! lol the contradictions

werent the gunbuster units special in that they couldnt be mass manufactured which is why there was 2 that made 1 bigger robot and buster 3 the gravity bomb
(click to show/hide)now granted they probably had spare parts and blueprints which for some reason they opted not to keep which is slightly understandable. As sometimes keeping a small peice of information such as blueprints for robots around might not be as important to the entire world(you know the ones who got saved) as the story and knowledge of the 2 heroines.

But in the same regard the fact that they knew they were alive and had a welcome home party for them would kinda lean towards the just being a dumb detail that was overlooked. Its been a while since i watched the 2 series so i dont remember what was so special about the gunbuster units, i think in the second one they basically explained it as like the units were like alive didnt they?

(click to show/hide)Yeah, they're alive, but they require a degeneration engine to stimulate their 'souls' and perform their truly awesome moves.

Damn, you people worry about useless stuff. This series has already so much ridiculous shit that few not-completely-logical things honestly don't matter.

Anyway, since I just completed it: It's freaking awesome. one of the top ten best anime I've seen, easily. I don't get why it's relatively unpopular, comparing it with, say, vastly inferior TTGL. Maybe not the best Gainax series(that would be FLCL, but I consider FLCL to be the second best anime I've ever seen, so YMMV), but I think it's way better then TTGL, and probably better then NGE as well.
Seriously, if anyone haven't seen Diebuster yet, GO WATCH IT, NOW.(or rather, watch Gunbuster first, and then this)

^ erious! Welcome to the fold! I was also just introduced to this anime a little earlier this year (and only a little while after watching TTGL with my local anime club) and was blown away by how much better it is that that overblown pile of junk.
This is (and probably will be) the best Gainax anime for some time to come. I can only hope for more, but I'll be satisfied if they just lay it to rest unlike their other cash cows.

FLCL I thought was more awesome because it was a collab between Gainax and I.G. (at least in the animation dept.). Still had the wacked out Gainax plot though.
