The series has been a fan favorite for a long time and comes on the same level as Gundam and other legendary mecha franchises. So, just like any other old and epic show, this one deserves more recognition.

For that, Discotek Media has licensed the 1988 Gunbuster OVA series and will release an English-dubbed version later this year.

The company has revealed a short English-dubbed clip from the anime featuring the protagonist Noriko Takaya and Smith Toren. Noriko is reading an operations manual to catch up with others while Smith tries to help her, only for the former to lash out at him.

Sound Cadence Studio is in charge of producing the dub, and here is the cast for it:
