In Japan, Gundam's status & brand name recognition can keep it going
for as long as Bandai can run with the smart marketing tactics
they've been using. But in the USA, Gundam doesn't work like that.
It's just another anime overlooked by American fans, who prefer
fanservice, shounen fighting anime, and "serious, adult shows" like
GiTS & Cowboy Bebop. If they want Gundam to work here, I think they
need to appeal to one of those audiences. And the shounen fighting
Gundam idea has been done so we can toss that right out.
Wouldn't Gundam: GitS style basically be Patlabor? If so, that one's
right out, too. And I shudder to think about Gundam with fanservice...
