The thing about Gunbuster is that it mostly whips extremely hard (and is also very weird about women but that's unfortunately just how Anno is).
not to be the "can the mech pilot man up" person but I'm 3/6 episodes in and I'm enjoying gunbuster fine so far but it would definitely be better if it had less careful development of noriko's self-confidence issues and more jung and kazumi angrily making out in their robots
