Roughly 30 years ago, in the first few months of 1990, fans in the US could finally buy subtitled anime on videocassette. US Renditions released Gunbuster and Dangaio, and Animeigo released Madox-01 shortly after.
Robert Napton of US Renditions recounted how Hideaki Anno was "stunned" when Robert handed him the Gunbuster tapes in the dealers' room at AnimeCon '91. Until that moment, Anno had no idea Gunbuster was officially available in the United States. #gainax
