Good to see the list active. We are discussing way deep topics.... If I may provide a minor observation, which I felt the list is somewhat missing the trees for the forest: what is the biggest difference between 00 and Wing, seed & seed destiny?
There ain't no mask dude this time :) ----- Original Message ---- From: Grant White <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, 24 October 2007 5:08:08 Subject: RE: [gundam] *Spoilers* Episode 3 I think you're asking some very valid questions. Personally, I've been wondering if the director's hands are tied by the commercial demands of Bandai eg "Do this type of story, we know this sells. Don't do that, it won't sell kits!" etc. With FMA, I more follow the manga (I'm up to volume 13) then the anime (only seen the first 2 episodes). However, alot of people have told me they feel once the anime goes into original content it loses the charm and style of the original manga. That makes me worried that perhaps FMA was lucky enough to have high quality source material, did well and Sunrise said "Japanese and Americans love this show but less like our Gundam. If we hire that director, he's sure to give us a success!" > Date: Tue, 23 Oct 2007 18:56:54 -0400 > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [gundam] *Spoilers* Episode 3 > > Seems that Sunrise is trying to suppress fansubs on YouTube.
