Tomino said in a 1998 interview that fujoshis are the true gundam fans and that the male fans and model builders are little shits and fake geek boys.

"What I want modern day Gundam fans to understand is that Gundam wasn't nurtured by the PlaModel enthusiasts. It was young women who first came to the after recording studio, and Gundam is a work that began with their support. And it was a work that had no connection to the popularity of Gundam PlaModels. So I think the most important thing is creating a work that will attract those kind of girls to it again. I don't think movies as an entertainment industry can succeed without touching on that kind of fundamental portion."

“The very first fans of the original Gundam were young women. Definitely not the PlaModel enthusiasts. With both Gundam and Raideen, of the first fans to be active, 90% were girls. Among a gathering of 1000 fans, about 100 were boys. Around when the first cour ended, young women began to gather to the after recording studio. It took until much later for male fans make an uproar, around the time series got canceled. I thought: You’re late to the party!”

"When the movies were screening, we had many male fans who got into Gundam via Gunpla come to see it. Meanwhile, the girls who had been fans since the TV series aired got together to create their own world via fanzines. The fans, never interacting with each other, existed on separate planes."

How does it feel knowing that mecha anime will never receive this level of animation?

ITT: Anime projects that were announced but nothing much ever came of them

Pic is from the Mahoroba film which would have seen an updated Danguard Ace along with many other crossovers from Leiji's works. Interesting since he never seemed too fond of mecha.

Alright, yes, it's a children's show, it's a glorified toy commercial, it's not MEANT to be taken seriously, I got it, I understand that.

But still, I refuse to suspend my disbelief for ANY mecha where the pilot controls purely through mechanical inputs of some joysticks.

If there isn't some kind of actual "link" between pilot and machine (be that through an actual physical link into the pilot's body, a device that translates brainwaves to commands, etc,), I just can't accept it.

Do you guys understand how complex the controls are for a single "arm" on a backhoe? And you want to try to tell me these pilots can somehow control two arms and legs with just some joysticks and pedals?

Never.

Childhood is when you idolize the Federation. Adulthood is when you realize Zeon makes more sense.

***READ THE GUIDE***

For those new to gunpla/plamo or even just new to this thread; please read the guide. Please read it before asking questions, as there is a chance it has already been answered there.
For those unfamiliar, "plamo" is a shortened form of "plastic model". If it's made of plastic, someone can probably help you here!
If you're new, you're gonna fuck up. Don't worry! If you're experienced, don't make the new people worry!
>Why won't anyone answer my question?
Try being specific, especially about your materials and process. Post pictures whenever possible; even if the kit/part looks bad, you are more likely to get help posting pictures.
