I don't have much to say about your "Fukuda failed so GSD is a fail" argument.. Saying that Fukuda failed because he didn't do another Anime and then even claiming that Destiny failed because he didn't do more projects is something that my Logic-O-Meter™ can't digest. Quote:

Some buy the dvds because it's part of a franchise they love. At the same time they acknowledge that series is pretty bad or they don't like it. Andres from Tomopop owns the boxset but acknowledges that and I'm certain Chris from MAHQ owns it too but also doesn't like the series. Buying the dvds does not necessarily equate to liking the series.

i loled so hard at some comments that just seem pure personal opinion.
its clear that for most fans outside japan GSD was a pure failer but thats just personal opinions cuz GSD did pretty good in japan. kira still ranking so high after so many years and often beats setsuna that just had a series and a movie on the anime and gundam polls, that would be more than enough to prove that GSD wasnt the best shit ever but was far from failer.

Lol, Fukuda is not directing any more shows because of two primary reasons, neither of which had anything to do with how GSD sold.
First, Seiyuus hate his guts cause he mistreated some of them during the process of making GSD, most prominently Naomi Shindoh, the person who voiced Cagalli. If rumors are true, he lambasted Maaya Sakamoto too. (Lunamaria Hawke) So he'd pretty much have to voice his own characters if he ever decides to direct a new anime. Second, his wife has freaking BRAIN CANCER. Infer on your own. For all I know, he could be a masochistic wife beater, but if he's a normal one, and his wife got brain cancer, he'd be taking care of her instead of going out there directing shows. The fact that his wife is always around helping him somehow also plays a role.

// The words success and failure in themselves are too abstract. It´s much more interesting to talk about specific goals. Do the ones calling Destiny a failure base that solely on their own opinion or do they factor in (pro) critics, money, hard core fans or perhaps the mainstream audience? If it´s only personal opinions it´s more right to say that Destiny failed to reach their expectations than calling it a failure. By the way. It´s a lie to say that Destiny failed completely but it certainly has a long way to go to reach the heights of it´s prequel.

The Freedom Gundam and its successor is one of the most popular Gunpla kits ever released to the public, with some variants that even I don't think should exist. Never mind it being one of the most manipulated kits by various Gunpla masters. So unless you have statistical data backing your claims, I am going to treat your statement with a grain of salt.

And even if it somehow failed with the Western demographic, so what? Its not a show made for Westerners anyway, Sunrise can't give less of a shit about them. Quote:

Rie: Probably Lacus. Part of it was because I played Meer at the same time, but Lacus was not very realistic like a human being. There isn’t a lot of emotion and she doesn’t show it. She’s always nice and gentle, and she doesn’t show much human emotions. She always has her own style. Because of the war that is going on, and the people dying, she expressed a bit of anger and sadness, but I had to play it in a certain style. I always had to check with the director to make sure it’s what he wants. Source: http://www.omonomono.com/2008/09/30/...-tanaka-panel/ GM: What’s the most difficult role that you’ve played, and how did you overcome it? RT: [Gundam SEED's] Lacus Clyne, because the character has to be very reserved and commanding, even if she’s mad or showing some expressions, she still has to be a reserved character, and this was over a span of four years including Destiny, and it was very difficult. Source: http://www.animevice.com/news/nyaf08...rie-tanaka/25/ Linda asked about difficult characters and Tanaka brought up Lacus Clyne from Gundam Seed. Lacus was difficult since she was not very realistic concerning her role in the story. She doesn’t show a lot of emotions. The story is centered on war, but even when she is angry, she has to keep a certain style that is true to her character which was very difficult. Tanaka received much support from her director on this role. Source: http://liheliso.com/buzz/archive/00001038.htm Oh, and the "2nd Lacus" you're talking about is Meer Campbell.

Dude gets some popcorn and go look in the animesuki archives...GSD was alot of things, mostly absolutely soul-crushing and awful, but if it had one saving grace it was the fact that it produced some of the funniest, if not ultra-intense, if not uber-epic episode discussion threads in the history of this site...I was here for it all, and animesuki has never been as bare feet and crazy as it was during those days...The Gundam forum was the place to be...

I think fans began to accept the status of Lacus & Kira as some kind of minor deities since their return in Destiny... Quote:

The debate and discussions were so intense to the point where everything else was thrown out the window. Hell, even when 00 was first announced, it barely registered as a blip on our Gundam radar... And people thought Kira was going to steal 00's glory... - Tak (CAGALI IS CRYIIIINNNNGGGGG!!!)
