So what? Again to keep things short: if Gundam can't win in China,
Gundam won't win in the world. Gundam will still be successful in JP,
KR, HK and TW (and PH) but in China, US and EU, it will still be about
as niche as Thundercats.
Discuss?
I think Star Trek would be a more apt comparison. Both were huge for
awhile, both generated a plethora of TV series and movies/OVAs, and
both are so thoroughly played out that the public is sick of them.
There will always be die hard fans, of course, but how big can a
property get before it implodes under its own weight?
Gundam and Trek both have had their time in the sun, and people
enjoyed them immensely. But now it's time to move on to other things,
leaving the die hards to wallow in their nostalgia and the rest of
the world to anticipate the next big thing.
