Why would you say that? He's been credited for English Supervision for every Gundam release for quite a while. He's the reason we have standardized names and terminology.

I think there are old Japanese VHS/Laserdiscs out there with incomplete animation. I'm not sure of the scene with the Jupiter energy fleet, I read it on the old MAHQ (and this entry was also removed), Maybe it came as line art from an earlier draft? The version that was shown in the theaters is the...

For those interested, here's an interview with Naohiro Ogata, Sunrise producer, regarding the movie and how it is 100% a remake of episode fifteen, regardless of having elements from the Origin in it.

They all ignore the "laughs" portion of that quote, which according to a Yahoo! Japan, Natalie, and other news sites (plus attendees), they were laughing about it on stage. Of course they're not going to commit. Apparently the joke flew over people's heads.

There is no veracity to that websites claim. They said that date as a joke, honestly.

It's interesting that you chastise Mythsearcher for supposedly "not reading" when you apparently missed that the very book we were discussing has an explanation of how the designation system works that directly corroborates what I'd said. Have a shufti at the top half of page 015 if you w...

Also mate, chill. You're getting unnecessarily heated. We're trying to keep this a friendly discussion... as difficult as it is with a contentious topic. Nah, he seriously is. He stops reading after two things, puts up his mental blockers and starts singing his own tune in his head. We really need ...

One that keep saying every source is a "Single occurrence" but cannot provide an equally powerful source to counter these sources.(the only one provided happens to counter his own argument and has been contributed to that interviews flipfloping but the same interview was used to support h...

Except in terms of its designation... there are multiple MS-04s now. EMS-04 is not MS-04. It's a very slightly more roundabout way of saying the same thing he said on Twitter, which is that he did not create the series to follow the official Gundam history/setting. It's a different/separate "w...

The Zudah's on a different shade of blue, though... and it's otherwise consistently applied throughout the book. I'd assume the Zudah is marked out specially because of its unique/bizarre place in the setting that doesn't quite mesh with other takes on the Zaku's development history. There are also...

That's probably the only book that seems to have gone to those lengths, though. I don't think the colors really mean anything. If you look, the Zudah is on a blue background, which doesn't make sense compared to everything else. It's almost like they were drawing special attention to them for being ...

Sunrise's position on Thunderbolt, and to an extent the Origin, seems to change based on whichever way the wind is blowing whenever they upload videos to their Youtube channel. These videos can probably be considered some of the most up-to-date standings from the company when it comes to classificat...

Bolar Federation was their old name, I believe? That should help your search.

It's amusing that people think that the artist tweeting out that his depiction is "something different" has any sort of meaning to it. What he stated in that tweet is not at all different from an interview that he gave back in 2014. He can claim that the moon is made of cheese in his story...

Also apparently some of the proposed Sentinel designs ended up used in the second half of ZZ(like the EWAC-Zack, Regelgu, Dwadge, and Zaku III.) They don't really look like a lot of the other Neo-Zeon designs (the EWAC-Zack in particular looks like it belongs in Sentinel), and many only make rather...

6) Bandai made injection models after that, which is a sudden move and wasn't what the MG team had any control on.(but they surely hoped that to happen, which is where the completely omitted paragraph about how America's planning system is opposite to Japan's system in Battle of Sentinel comes in w...

He said it's not fair to harp on the same string over and over because he clearly stated Bandai pulled away from the project in the last paragraph. The last thing he says in the Battle of Sentinel section is something like, "It was a snap decision, not a neat start, without anything we could t...

Cancel is the same as end, the result is exactly the same, they no longer work on the project. And their participation was necessary. Nothing afterwards matters because obviously to the MG side Bandai and it was only working on their own and gaining interest from the public that Bandai is willing t...

Because ending a project is exactly losing interest. They have no interest in keeping the project going. Like I said, it was at least the view on the MG side, Bandai used the term pending but it was actually ending(中止) the project. That is what makes the MG side frustrated because of all the work t...

But the Bandai lost interest part came from Gundam Wars III Gundam Sentinel edition(at least that is what the staff felt at the time), so that page isn't really being completely adhering to the book as well. Which was also in the translation of the page, so saying it came from nowhere seems a bit o...
