My intent is to discern if it is true that most people prefer the First
Gundam designs. While we do get a lot of new designs, there are also a lot
of reinterpretations of First Gundam designs such as the Zakus in Seed or
the retrocons in 0080. Is it that the First Gundam Designs are
fundamentally better?
No. I dropped Destiny like last week's news when the OYW designs
started showing up. They were okay in first Gundam, but we need new
designs now (and enemy suits are the only source of real creativity
in Gundam these days, since the good guys always need to have a
Gundam in the lead role).
As for the designs I most preferred? In TV/film products, CCA, no
question. Everything else is either too complex (Zeta), too
simplistic (First), or too outlandish (Victory). By contrast CCA's
designs (particularly the Dogas) were a wonderful mix of versatility
and practicality, and they are the "sweet spot" by which all others
are measured.
