I totally agree with you, a few month ago Bandai did announce a Metal Fix O Gundam but I think they cancelled it in favor of the Gundam Unicorn.
Still wishing for a 1/100 HG O Gundam at least.
I used to cry when I was a kid regarding death scenes but now either a shock or feeling very sad or empty but only really cried once when I was watching Grave of the Fire Flies ...
