And the series continues:

- http://animekritik.wordpress.com/2011/12/01/imperialism-translation-gunbuster-episode-four/
- http://animekritik.wordpress.com/2011/12/03/imperialism-translation-gunbuster-episode-five/

Of these, I'd say episode 3 and 5 are the best. 4, while discussing
the ever interesting presence in _Gunbuster_ of Toren Smith, is pretty
short, while 3 and 5 are focused on still more of the subtle
translation (or lack of translation) issues which bring out the
impressively omnipresent imperialist allusions.
