I didn't really think there was much doubt about Char's sex life, but Tomino's thoughts about Nanai got kind of weird.

This certainly explains the Gundam novels. Those things are honestly what I would expect the Netflix Gundam movie to be in tone.

Bruce Timm never would have said that about Batman. Dude was unashamed with his horniness.

Insightful. Never thought about it like that. Truly a genius mind, Tomino is.

I love him, but Tomino is a weird guy. He's the only dude I know of who can come off as a feminist and a sexist at the same time.

Wow, didn't Tomino talk with with Anno (who worked in Cca)? Still, this sure felt random. I remember reading summaries about Tomino's novel where Amuro actually has a sexual relationship with Sayla but such character completely disappeared.

Still, it's kinda old times when even Seed had a sexual relationship that attacked negative response but I don't know if it was for the timeslot or Kira's age

Tomino has pathologically psychosexual hang-ups evidence # 345. And I never doubted Char not having sex. How else do you explain Haman?

Say what you will, but considering the ongoing conversation on how weirdly sterile film has gotten, this kind of frankness towards sexuality and the presences of bodies on screen is appreciated.

I didn't read all of Char's Deleted Affair, but Haman was a young girl with a crush. Despite his reputation I'm pretty sure Char never layed a hand on her.

Guy created Gundam, one of things Japan is most known for in the world, at least when it comes to entertainment.

He can say whatever he wants; he achieved more than most of us.

Never change, Tomino. I absolutely love when he talks about stuff like this. It's such a unique view, I couldn't help but smirk.
And honestly, I like it when there are characters in media who have sex lives. It's part of human life (except mine as of yet) and makes characters feel more real and interesting. It's not a neccesity per se, but still very appreciative.

As if there was any doubt that Char has massive amounts of sex beforehand.

Haven't heard that one before, but sounds about right. i recall an interview he did with Go Nagai where he said that Shameless School gave him his first erection.

Sure. Imagining what a vagina is like is genius. It sounds more pretentious and dumb to me.

Not to get crude, but the last sentence in your quote says it all. She has to be young and fresh - or Char has bad taste. Cant be exciting and old! Unless he's writing hentai, this type of drivel is ridiculous.

But did he say "Char has a really big dick. Simply massive. Giant."? Because I think he absolutely has to think about Char's colossal dick. It's something he should particularly think about during the scriptwriting phase.
