More like trying to compliment the actually good parts of a piece I don't like.

It's like being able to tell that a horror movie is good while still hating horror movies. I don't like it, but for the intended audience I'm sure it hits exactly what they're looking for. Mostly because those things are why I don't like it.

It looks like Hollywood try to make a Gundam movie in the early 80's. It would have been cool to see how this movie would have turn out.

That's a shame. Maybe it's excessive violence is excluding younger viewers?

:lol No truer words spoken.

Yup. If models are selling the show could be the biggest piece of shit ever and it'd be no problem.

Just look at how many Build Figh... I mean SEED kits they make. :D

Not even remotely true. Most Gundam collectors don't even buy models of just the shows they like. Hell, I hate Gundam Wing, and own seven Master Grades from it.

Shows never impact toy sales, it's the opposite. Poor toy sales lead to cancellations, as shows are, financially speaking, merely advertisments. But toys can stand on their own, they're what make the actual money, and what can be appreciated standalone.

Classy. Dunno about you guys, but I love spending hours of work on something I like and then having people literally compare it to shit.

We agree on that, at least.

G-Saviour

Right, but then you said:


And THEN you said:


I own two SEED kits and my feelings towards it and Destiny are well documented and filed under "Intense Burning Hatred"

Funny thing Japan adores Seed to this day but they hated Wing back in the day.

Dunno why Wing was basically SEED in the 90s complete with yaoi bait for fangirls.

Yeah, and? Do any of those three statements contradict each other at all?

First I agreed quality and ratings are not intertwined. Likewise, I said the quality of a show does not expressly determine the sale of model kits. Basically, a tv show's quality in no way has to directly reflect or influence its financial success/failure in any regard. It can of course, but it isn't an iron-clad rule. A good show can rate horribly and sell zero model kits, or a shit show could rate wonderfully and sell kits like crazy, or any combination of the three.

No, just pointing out you said truer words have never been spoken. Then you made two statements that are individually equal to my one, thus you spoke several more- It was funny when I typed it.

yeah for some reason sunrise/bandai decided IBO, with all it's lack of child friendliness, would be a great fit for what is basically a saturday morning cartoon slot.

I don't see how. Kids love things like this.
