Personally, I dont mind all the JCStaff RomCom's and etc, that are out. I actually love them in contrast to the darker series that I've viewed (e.g. Monster, Black Lagoon, and TSR to an extent). Having a good balance keeps me sane :P
Bottom line; in terms of sales and competition, I unfortunately agree that FMP would have to sell abit of its "soul" to attract the wider audience (either through MORE extravagant mecha scenes or moe-comedy). But what separates the franchise is that has earned better positive reviews.
