Things he felt he didn't do very well in the manga the first time.

So the TV series IMO and the creator's opinion does the series justice fine.
Okay you're talking about the new one, I haven't have a chance to watch that but sounds like it's worth a look...

Gunbuster is the Greatest OVA ever. I still cry at the ending everytime.

Make sure to pick up Diebuster as well. I believe the first vol hits the US next month.

Okay, Diebuster, so you guys are talking about the giant robot Gunbuster...

I finished the Diebuster already, I don't like the robot/character design at first but it gorws on me fairly quick.
The first one is still a better series but Diebuster is also one of the better animes I've seen for years.
The ending is...stirking I say, as shocking as the first one.
Another excellent series anyway!

And I quite like the opening song.

Everybody should see Metropolis-- based on the graphic novel by the brilliant Osama Tezuka.
