Yes, this Gunbuster is better than I expected, with some feel of the original Gunbuster, but mostly different. I miss the scientific explainations in the end of the first series that is so far missing in this series. I guess they can't scientifically explain the powers the girls have. Also, the character moving around in the vacuum of space will be a little hard to explain, too. I guess it might be a move towards unscientific for this series.
