I am so flattered that my question got asked, Thanks ANN!

Throughout my university years I would often focus on questions surrounding the influence of science fiction on technological development, including Gundam, so I am very glad that I got to hear Mr. Tomino's response.

I don’t know if video or audio recording was allowed inside the convention room, but I would love to hear the full panel if it’s available somewhere.

I'm pretty disappointed none of my questions were asked, since Tomino is my favorite anime director and I tried to think of some good questions to ask him, but it was still interesting to read his responses to some of the other questions.

I love what he said about adults being the enemy, and how, as an old man, he's a "super enemy". I can clearly see that theme in a lot of his works, though there are some admirable adult characters here and there.

I also thought it was amusing that he admitted he was no Newtype and how he says that he always feels regret and a constant need to do better, no matter how hard he worked in a previous work. He actually seems a little humble.

I'm hoping there aren't any samurai characters in Gundam, though. At least, not of the type he's seeing on the convention scene.

Eh, my question sucked, so it's probably best that it didn't get asked.

Nice interview/panel/Q&A though. I always love hearing what Mr. Tomino has to say.

Mark Simmons!

It looks like you've been up to a lot since the closing of the Gundam Project. Good to see you around ANN, too. Smile
