CATDOLL: The willful father of Gundam: Other people’s Gundams are not real Gundams

The new Gundam animation "Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans" directed by Nagai Ryuyuki and Okada Mari will debut in October this year. This work has been controversial since it was released. If "Gundam Build Fighters Try" is not counted, the closest Gundam TV animation work is "Gundam G: Restoration", which is supervised by the father of Gundam, Yoshiyuki Tomino again after many years. This work has made many hardcore UC era Gundam fans regain their confidence in the Gundam series. The BD sales and reputation are also good. However, as the sideline of the father of Gundam, the old man is not only limited to the good sales of the works, but also comments on other Gundam works. In the revival live broadcast of "Gundam G: Restoration" yesterday (August 27), Tomino made a shocking statement, saying that other people's Gundam scripts are full of shit . At the same time, he admitted that these works have played a positive role in promoting the popularity of Gundam, but he himself will not watch them. This statement has attracted widespread attention from anime fans.

Interview with Yoshiyuki Tomino from the Gundam G Restoration Revival Live Event:

Since the 21st century, the Gundam series has basically said goodbye to Tomino. From the "Mobile Suit Gundam SEED" series to the "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" series, and then to the later "Mobile Suit Gundam AGE" series, although the body settings of these Gundam works are getting cooler and cooler, there are more and more fresh concepts, and the relationship between men and women is getting more and more chaotic, it is still difficult to surpass the Gundam works of the UC era. A good example is the popularity of "Mobile Suit Gundam UC" and the popularity of "Mobile Suit Gundam THE ORIGIN" OVA. As the creator of the world view and setting of the Gundam in the UC era, it is okay for Tomino Yoshiyuki to belittle the Gundam of the new century. Previously, "Gundam G: Restoration Movement" has always been considered to have a common world view with the overthrow of A Gundam. This time, Tomino pointed out that the time of G's revival story is actually 500 years after the overthrow of A Gundam.
