If you loved Evangelion: 1.11 You Are (Not) Alone, try Gunbuster: The Movie
Un ponte tra un film che hai già visto e uno che quasi nessuno ha incrociato. Gunbuster: The Movie ha circa 67.8× voti in meno di Evangelion: 1.11 You Are (Not) Alone — è una scelta di nicchia, non una raccomandazione mainstream. Questo è ciò che condividono, e ciò che il secondo fa che il primo non fa.
Cosa condividono
Both films are directed by Hideaki Anno, and they both carry the foreign gem mood tag, and they sit in Action / Animation / Drama / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to Evangelion: 1.11 You Are (Not) Alone, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Gunbuster: The Movie is
You aspire to pilot a space fighter, just like your late father. You enroll in a training program, but your skills lag behind the other cadets. Then, you're inexplicably chosen to co-pilot an experimental mecha. Anno's debut short-form anime is a frenetic, sentimental tribute to hot-blooded sports stories. The animation style has aged, but the core of its drama remains.
