add recHotblooded passion! Kicking reason to the curb! Breaking the heavens and pushing aside all fear to accomplish your ultimate dreams, save the universe, and never back down! These are a few of the themes which run boldly through both of these insanely epic GAINAX artistic masterpieces. If you like either, you'll love the other as well.
Both of these shows adhere to a similar theme best described by the quote "surpass the impossible and kick reason to the curb!". Additionally, the animation style and feel is very similar wich adds to the feeling of familiarity. Last but not least, the humor is definitely on the same level.
If you liked one, you are bound to like the other!

Alt titles: Furi Kuri
Naota Nanbada is a boring young boy who leads a boring life in a boring town. His older brother has left for America, and the closest he comes to any excitement is when his deadbeat dad has too much sake. But things change one day when a bizarre girl zooms up to him on a scooter and smacks him in the face with her guitar. What's more, once Naoto returns home he discovers that this strange woman has arrived ahead of him and moved in! Not only does she constantly engage in perverted activities with Naota's father and flirt with the young man himself, but she also claims to be an alien who is searching for the ‘Pirate King.' Now, Naota must learn to live with this new intruder, deal with an odd government agent who sports exceptionally large eyebrows and the mysterious Medical Mechanica, and come to terms with the fact that there are a variety of robots and weapons emerging out of his head - amongst other things. Perhaps boring wasn't so bad after all...

add recGunbuster 2 is more or less what Furi Kuri would be if Gainax had added a plot to it. It has lots of action, strange robots and aliens, and somewhat emo main character. Unless you're looking for an anime with great character development or plot, Furi Kuri will be enjoyed by any fan of Diebuster.

add recOne of Gunbuster 2's selling points is that it's a very light hearted, feel-good ecchi comedy. If Nono's simple minded but loveable determination is a big part of what draws you, then look no further than Magic Users Club for your next fix. It too is an ecchi comedy with a clumsy but sweet female lead positively obsessed with her hobby. Like Nono, her innocent thought processes are overpowering to the point where it jeapordizes her common sense.
Subtract the undertones of Yuri from gunbuster, change up the setting to a high school Magic Club, and strangely enough, keep the aliens that threaten humanity, and there you have Magic Users Club.

add recGainax just cranks out those ecchi comedies. Gunbuster 2 and Re: Cutie Honey both have spastic visuals very much inspired by a retro style. That only touches upon the surface of their similarities. Both follow the same recipie that calls for a ditsy, lovey dovey heart obsessed main character who meets a cold and calculating woman. The two develop a borderline romantic relationship as the main character melts her counterpart's icy heart, all while saving the world.
