Anyone else have any ideas?

The first line is someone asking "Doing your duty, Name?" or something like that. I know I've seen more than one film with either these lines or something close to it, but I can't narrow it down enough to get the exact quote.

Can I get another hint?

[Buster]

I am almost certain I solved Buster's.

Mine is not Youjo Senki.

[Buster]

yeah, if Zesortinge had made an error i would have popped up to critique it.
you're trying to solve theirs now.

besides your solution was wrong lunar, its much too long.
