But this is an very interesting interview... It's some kind of
animation panel held in Beijing.   Bandai/Sunrise's minders are
obviously not around and Tomino let loose a few comments that's "not
on message".  The article's headline is "Tomino disappointed in
today's Gundam".

Babelfish does a less-than-passable job on the translation.  (proof
that Chinese is harder than Japanese).  For those who try: "rich wild"
is "Tomino" in kanji, "rich old" is sort of "old Mr. Tomino'" in
Chinese.

I may do an abbrevative translation when I get some free time.

His last comment was "I've lost interest in Gundam; on the other hand,
my supervision of Zeta movies is essentially a summary (of what Gundam
is about).  So, (I) hope to prepare something new."


That's my point: it's a good article (more depth than other Tomino interview in US or Japan) but there's no good English translation available yet; posting it in GML simply means only the 4 of us (figuratively speaking) would be discussing it and all other would wonder WTH we're talking about.

Yes please Core go ahead with the translation! I think it's a good discussion piece (but, yes, as usual it'd end up a bipolar "Tomino dies" vs "Tomino rocks"... let's see what'd happen). We'd owe you one.
