Well, cartoons are considered "kids stuff" in America. Disney/Pixar is a
"family" company. Plus, Gundam just looks like a Transformers variation
in America.
Am I stating the obvious above?

Well, ever since "GOUF" (Gundam Official User Forums) closed, Bandai has
kind of given up on attempting to revive the US Gundam Market. Its
actually ironic in that the "failure" to revive it is Bandai's fault.
The Forum was supposed to get people to GO and also get a feel for the
interest in Gundam. By the amount of users who had signed up with GOUF
and the traffic that GO was getting at that time, things were all set to
start "moving ahead" again. However, the next steps to revive it were
not taken for some reason and Bandai shut GOUF down. Since that, GO's
traffic has slowed way down and updates as you've noted have been
non-existant.

As far as I can see, it hasn't been updated since August 2005 and
there's nothing at all on it about SEED Destiny. I guess they've
given up on any marketing at all for Gundam in the US now. Anyone
know for sure?
