Anyway, yeah, it's a great story but most UC people are just too obsessed with First and Zeta Gundam to accept it...

While ratings gets the usual blame, it doesn' seem to hold up.
For the first 26 episodes it ran on Friday's at 5 pm and averaged a 3.5. Which puts X only .4 of a point behind Victory and ahead of Turn A's 3.0. It doesn't look like that is enough to lead to it being moved in my eyes, but it could for execs expecting Wing's numbers. |

Anyway, it's probably TV Asahi that pulled the plugs on the show rather than Bandai... And the fact that they never ever aired another Gundam again might support that. But yeah, ∀ is, commercial-wise, the all time low for Gundam, and judging from what the creators and producers of Seed said, that fact was very prominent in its production...

Yeah, G Gundam is one of my favorite Gundams, right up there with Char's Counterattack and Stardust Memory... I thought V Gundam was okay but the parts changing thing in air didnt really work for me, the first gundam was better because it didnt have to be done as much, pretty much all of the other gundams are good except for F91 which i didnt like, and i was ambivalent about Wing and Seed. The only gundam that i felt was bad isnt an anime, and yes its the one and only Gundam G Saviour, the live action gundam, i cant believe i bought that, but oh well; like any other fanatic i buy everything that says gundam on it...

G-Saviour doesn't exactly say "Gundam" on it... In fact Gundam wasn't mentioned at all (then again that's what I heard, never bothered watching it )
And yeah, I'm not too big on the combining thing in ZZ and Victory either... It just looked too cumbersome and functioned too slowly, but I guess they actually made something out of it in Victory though considering how Usso keeps using that to his advantage... By contrast it seems that it was more detrimental than beneficial for the ZZ. Then again, I was never big on the transformable suits from Zeta and beyond either... It was an obvious attempt to profit from the transformable suits craze that Macross started (and I guess the obvious Zoids ripoffs in Seed are no different)... Plus there seem to be more ugly transformable suits than good looking ones in Gundam.
