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.

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."
