Besides, the Gundam franchise is pretty much legendary - it's like Star Wars and the James Bond movies. I don't see why they should stop it.

I didn't say they should stop. I'm just saying they've dragged it through the dirt recently... a bit like how George Lucas has dragged Star Wars through the dirt. (Although word on the street is that Gundam 00 isn't all too bad all of a sudden... sorry Gundam fanboys, I'm conveniently ignoring it and Turn A for the sake of my argument).
Yes, Sunrise is big. That's not what I said. I said that if you conveniently ignore Gundam, their track record is good. Most studios of that size have a certain ratio of good and crap, but Sunrise has tended to be on the positive side of that ratio in the last few years if you conveniently ignore their cash cows. I agree with those that say a lot of the flack Sunrise has received from certain groups of fanboys is unfair, but when Sunrise is praised, it's seemingly for the wrong reasons. It's a bit disappointing that most of their best titles seem to be the ones that no one bothers to check out. Like Planetes and Zegapain and such. And even Idolm@ster Xenoglossia, which is so underrated it hurts.

They're around, just as
4Tran says. You just gotta keep your eyes peeled for them. Not that I'd consider Mokke a great example of what the genre has to offer.
...Didn't we have this discussion in the slice-of-life thread?

Anyhow, I'm glad to not participate in the bulk of this discussion.

You're missing out, this has been a pretty interesting discussion.
