I sincerely don't get what was the point of this series, which is the reason why I refused to watch it for so much time even with my love for the first FIVE episodes of the mecha classic Gunbuster (the last one is completely unwatchable, IMHO). Ok, the fanservice is great, the continuos throwbacks to the original series are great, I even like the Kamen Rider quip, but this has NOTHING to do with Gunbuster which wasn't just a fanservice thing but it was a glorious attempt in vein of Gundam and the likes to make the mecha genre more earthbound by inserting space-travel physics and logics like the effect of light travel etc. Etc. While also tastefully gathering to the drooling masses of sexualized Otakus. In here, that's not what happens: here what happens is a series of completely unrelated scenes with clear-as-day influences taken from Evangelion, a completely non-existant story and superhero stuff that has no place to be in a sequAl to Gunbuster, cliché stuff good for the people who might be interested in buying Frame Arms Girls but not fans of the original series. Again, what was the point? Don't bother, it's absolutely not worth it.
