"It seems especially stupid to me now, as a very cynical adult, that certain [Gundam] fans want to cut Newtypes entirely. To demand a story in Gundam made only of professional soldiers, and to cut out this element. 'Can't Gundam just be about adult wars?' To me, this rings as the most pathetic childishness, for who - besides children - demand[s] to be adults so clumsily?"

Yoshiyuki Tomino is an elder being from beyond the stars who reveals his arcane and forbidden knowledge to me in such a way that I cannot articulate it to others.

I try to speak about Hathaway's psychosexual neuroses, or the significance of the framing of a particular fight scene, or the thematic contributions of particular machines and pieces of equipment but all that comes out of my mouth are the first eight notes of Sweet Child O' Mine.

As I learn more and more about Gundam's production, I find myself consistently drawn to the same conclusion over and over again.

Fuck the Clover Toy Company, I'm glad you went bankrupt.

Y'know, that big fact checking correction response to the psycho frame article has given me a bit to think about... Maybe I should see about getting a fact checker or two who have more access to materials than I do.
