Which one? I've seen 2 of them. Sorry, it's just been a while since I've seen them.

The first one...when they go out to intercept the alien swam that's just about to invade the solar system, during the battle, Gunbuster briefly wraps itself in a giant black cloak that deflects the aliens' energy beams. Then it's Gunbuster's turn....

The B&W took me aback too. It was rather jarring, and not entirely successful as a gimmick, but it did help set the series apart as an 'art' anime.
As for the ending? Kind of a tribute to Haldeman's 'Forever War'. After all, you don't know if there's anybody down there(might all be automated)...at least until the 'sequel' series(which I haven't seen, and which I'm already kinda disappointed by from the descriptions...really. using EARTH as a projectile? Somebody's gotta get their priorities right...).

Artillery jousting? Bomber wrestling?
Or do they go on to go professional as Skycrawlers?

One of the write ups I read said that males were only allowed to operate tanks in war. That if they were allowed to do Sensha-Do, the fear was they wouldn't treat it as a sport and it would become war. We're too aggressive I guess.

“Thanks. This here is a low-level, low-caste yoma. Japan garrison’s been so good at wiping out Beryl’s leftovers, it was decided to save a few for study.

“So, taking this dangerous creature down to the labs for some probing?”
The gray-furred bunny-girl yoma in the straitjacket being held between two burly armored GMP guards shook her head frantically, her hair and long ears flopping wildly.
“Yeah. Doc’s really eager to get her hands on this one. Mentioned some procedures she wanted to try out.”
The GMP officer may as well have said vivisection, as the yoma’s eyes bugged above the thick leather gag.
“WWWWMMMPPPPHHFFFFFF!!!!!!!!”
“They’re already considering long term solutions to the yoma.”
The GMP officer might as well have said fricasee.

taalismn wrote:(More) Notable Vehicles of the BioSanitation Battalions:
*M4001T ‘Rat Wagon’ ---Militarized version of an urban waste disposal truck, but fittted out as a covert operations armored personnel carrier. Some say the idea came from out-dimension sources, but the BSB maintains it was an original idea. While the six-wheeled APC retains some trash pickup and compaction capability, this serves primarily as a cover for the hidden inner troop compartment holding a squad of BSB troopers. Other features include heavy armor, solid armored wheels, scanner-shielding, sealable gunports, NBC environmental sealing and protection, radiation shielding, CADS blades on the forward lift-prongs and a pop-up weapons turret. Rat Wagons are the most common BSB vehicle, as they allow the division to move about above-ground largely unseen, keeping their deployments secret(and who really pays attention to garbage trucks?).
*M2205T ‘Custodian’----Ironically, while the standard APC of the BSB is a garbage truck, the standard APC of the ASC is a garbage truck in the BSB. The standard M2200 Janisarry APC is modified by the BSB to feature a garbage tilt-bin where the troop compartment normally is, and a set of lift-prongs on the front. The vehicle is oftem painted in bright stain-shedding paints or in municipal service colors. Sub-variants replace the tilt-bin and dumpster-lift with liquid tanks, street-sweeping gear, and sprayer equipment, or more specialized gear such as turbo-vacs and portable hazardous waste autoclave plasma incinerators. Otherwise, the M2205T retains the weapons and combat capabilities of the Janissary. The M2205T is most commonly found around BSB facilities(garbage dumps. land fills, and waste management depots) doing yardwork, but can be called out to support BSB field operations.

*VR-39 X Maidenform --- In the post-Reflex Point era, the BSB found themselves confrounting a major problem. They were dealing with more and more indoor interventions. Their modified ASC Power Armours, while effective were too bulky for this kind of work. Moreover, they were having trouble aquiring spare parts and replacement units. The BSB was facing the danger of "Rust Out" where the Robotech Research Centre came up with a solution. The VR-39 X, originally conceaved as a prototype Shadow Cyclone for covert operations, was shelved do to the Haydonite betrayal. The removal of the Shadow Device allowed for increased speed and payload, and the BSB already liked the black and white colour scheme. The timing was considered prefect a number of Misato clones had just been dumped transfered to the BioSanitation Battalions. These clones were quickly formed into the BioSanitation Urban Tactical Responce squads.
Note: All VR-39 X units are piloted by female officers, usually Misato clones leading to the cyclone getting the unfortunate nickname, the "French Tickler" originated by a certain member of the 15[sup]th[/sup] squad who shall remain nameless.
