The unfinished version of Gundress seems to be a treasure unknown to the Western anime fandom. Sure, you can see bits and pieces, but I've never seen the whole fiasco made available online. Since I got the R2 DVD, I've been meaning to rip and distribute the spectacle for everybody to see. I just never did it, you know? Anyway, I (acting as the mysterious organization [BADASS-MANLY-RAWS]) have ripped the movie in shiny H264 and put it up on ye olde Pirate Bay, so have at it. It is untranslated, but you shouldn't need it to enjoy the awful animation on display. I wouldn't normally do this, as the complete version of Gundress has been licensed for years, but this is one of those things you're really never going to see any other way. Enjoy.
this is awesome, you are awesome

I was just searching for, and failing to find, somewhere I could buy the R2 online so this is awesome. I'll keep it seeded.

Nice job, all I've seen is the R1 release and I need some more comedy in my life.

If it weren't for Titanic: The Animated Movie, this cut of Gundress would get my vote for worst animated film ever. Awful cartoons are made every year, but you need a special sort of contempt for your audience to give them an unfinished movie.
I nabbed the Gundress R2 DVD at the NYC Book-Off for five bucks this summer, and I'm still amazed that the incomplete version was included with the finished movie. Someone clearly didn't want to hide the shame of it all.
