When the space aliens killed Noriko Takaya's father, she swore she'd go into space to have her revenge. Yet being accepted into the prestigious Okinawa Girls' Space Pilot High School doesn't solve every problem.

But then, when the two candidates going into space are announced, Noriko's surprised to find her name right next to the star of the school (and Noriko's own idol), Kazumi Amano. Has Noriko's hard work paid off? Or is there more to Coach Ohta's reasons for selecting her? Most of all, is Noriko really ready for the horrors of space? Find out in Aim for the Top!: Gunbuster, a true masterpiece of anime history, and Hideaki Anno's directorial debut!
