It is more an issue of the cash than the commitment. Disc sales are primarily looking at a specific demographic because of how prohibitive the prices are. You can't really compare the over all popularity between G-Reco which was more targeted towards that older, employed demographic and that of a series with a much wider target and a prime time tv slot by looking at a metric heavily biased towards the trends of G-Reco's target. That might be an ok way to look at it for anime that need those disc sales to make a profit, but Gundam is a heavily merchandised property so disc sales alone aren't everything.
Yeah, I don't see how anyone can argue that the retard girl who essentially has a whole episode about 'what if we let a mentally retarded girl fly a gundam' that magically becomes normal when she goes back to space isn't badly written. |

Because god forbid people have different opinions, right? I did though. Maybe I'm just tolerant to characters people take issue with because I can adjust to the writer's individual style. Hell, that might be why I was able to put up with Tomino's writing in the actual books he's done. Besides, it was pretty clear that Raraiya wasn't all there so her "crazy" writing kinda fit. I mean, she does jump from really high up with no safety precautions before she's captured which could easily explain why she's out there (Oxygen deprivation is a thing and can have lasting effects, however varied.) I liked Kou in 0083, idiot that he was, so maybe my standards of enjoyable characters isn't the norm. |

Writing a character as an idiot isn't bad writing. Writing a character that suffered brain damage due to oxygen deprivation, showing at length through half the series the limitations she has as a result of the brain damage, then just hand waiving it away is bad writing. |

He's bitter about execs cutting things from G Reco and forcing him to change others. He said in an interview that he had no control on how G Reco turned out and everyone that knows anything about Gundam knows that if Bandai doesn't want you to do something you won't get to do it no matter if it's Tomino or Miyazaki or if Tezuka came back from the grave to do a mecha anime. |

Oh that is something that Tomino is intimately familar with and frankly, is the story of how Gundam gets made. Creators do something, build something that Bandai doesn't take a shine to it and says no or does something. And after that, getting Bandai to budge is like drawing blood from a stone. It's been like that since MSG, and has NEVER stopped. I can honestly understand his rage at the fact that years later, many accolades latter, Bandai is still stiffing him like Tomino is new at directing. Maybe "Angry Tomino" shows to production, but to say that Bandai would never plan for that would be an understatement. |
