I am talking about Bandai Entertainment (as in the US DVD licensor) and possibly Tomino's view of Americans as a whole...

But of course, no one likes Bandai (the Japanese toy/entertainment giant that is)... In fact the whole purpose of the creation of the studio, BONES, was so that former Sunrise creators can get out of Bandai's neckbreaking control. And one of the main reason that Tomino made Turn A is to rebel against Bandai and to try to find out how much he can get away with pissing them off... And it seems like Bandai has learned their lesson because even though Tomino is rumored to be willing to make a new Gundam if Bandai lets him and gives him the right budget, there hasn't been anything else going along there.
