Description

This week, we start a series of looks at early Gainax shows, starting withGunbuster. This episode suffered many recording difficulties, and so some of it was patched from multiple sources. We apologise for this.

CW: Imperialism, Gainaxing (including full frontal female nudity)

The Anime Research Group is a weekly podcast about all the anime we never got round to watching. Episodes contain spoilers for early episodes of the shows, and ill-informed speculation on future episodes.  There are a few instances of cursing.

You can find us on twitter @research_anime or on youtube. New episodes are coming every Thursday.
