working through his issues with his father, and once he'd done that
he just closed the book and moved on.
In the same way, G and W may end up in a higher place in my heart than
UC. Normally I would never even put G/W and First Gundam in the same
sentence, but each new sequel (Unicorn), game (Target in Sight) and
model line (AoZ) erode just a little bit more off First Gundam. For
Wing, the Gundams were shot into the Sun and we will never see another
Gundam again. For G, well technically a sequel is possible, but it's
guaranteed to be dog-puke so let's hope we will never see the day.
Heheh. I liked G a lot, actually. It was very stylized, but it still
held true to many of Gundam's central themes, and it expanded on
them a bit with a few of its own. It *definitely* doesn't need a
sequel, but I mostly thought that about SEED as well (and in all
honesty, I thought it about First Gundam as well; I liked Zeta and
even CCA, and I've heard good things about Victory, but I really
don't see the point. But on the upside, at least the sequels after
CCA had the decency to use different characters. That takes a lot of
the sting out of the whole retread of old ideas bit).
A G-gundam sequel should be in the form of a video game, letting you
fight in the 14th Gundam fight. The G universe is ideally suited to a
video game. If Bandai-Namco actually put some work into it, they
could have a nice milkable franchise. Every year of so they could
release a new version, 15th G fight, 16th, etc. with a new roster of
MS, kind of like the Madden version of Gundam.
