Actually, I wouldn't totally call this entirely offtopic. I personally think that based on all of the longer Gundam works (and most of the shorter ones as well), weak writing can be regarded as a defining characteristic of the franchise. In this regard, Destiny fits right in. What does take it offtopic is that this thread isn't really about Destiny in particular.

I don't know if Macross 7 was initially well received by its fans, but it was still a fairly popular series. The math is quite telling: it had a 49-episode TV run, bonus episodes, a separate OVA, a mini-movie (~30min), and tons of audio CDs.

Talk about the opposite of bad writing. Production on more Twelve Kingdoms probably won't start until Ono Fuyumi releases more books. Sadly, without new material to generate some excitement, there isn't any real impetus for putting out more of the anime.
