Gunbuster.The.Movie.1080p.BluRay.x264-BDLiVE

[eadmaster]

This seems better than THORA release currently on the tracker (1080p vs 720p):

1080p doesn't replace 720p.

Screenshots?

I managed to track down this release, but it ends up that it is actually the Diebuster movie and not the Gunbuster one. It even starts with the five minute long intermission.

Besides the big labeling mistake on the BDLiVE's part, the movie seems to be fine. I didn't notice any major problems with their OCR while I was skimming it. Although I didn't watch it all the way through so I can't be sure. This uses plain SRT subtitles, nothing fancy.

Edit: After watching it a bit more I noticed that are missing lines in the subtitles whenever signs appear on the screen. However, I was able to sync up THORA's subtitles to the rip without much trouble.

Here is the sample file included with it: http://www.mediafire.com/?htii30bes6ejj2v

Here are some screenshots of it:

ah, i really didn't expect this mistake, sorry.  
Since i already have a 1080p release of Diebuster (Diebuster.The.Movie .2004.1080p.BluRay. x264-CiNEFiLE), i'm no more interested in this one.

BTW, now i'm still looking for a FullHD/1080p version of Gunbuster...
EDIT: maybe this one: [QYQ][Gunbuster_The_Movie][AVC_AC3][1080p].mkv ?

[eadmaster]

I'm downloading this one from a torrent and i can confirm it is the first gunbuster movie @1080p:
[QYQ][Gunbuster_The_Movie][AVC_AC3][1080p].mkv

The video come from a 4:3 source, so there are those typical "black bands" on the left and right side.
It still seems better than THORA's release, here it is the full specs:

1080p of Diebuster is just an upscale, judging from those screens. It's most likely the same for Gunbuster.

Gunbuster is from like '87. Cel-animation at it's finest.

Oh, right, I forgot they didn't reanimate it for the movie. Might be some benefit to 1080p for Gunbuster, then.

Btw, those links give me a connection timeout error.
