    Yeah, but it's just one of those series that I get but don't really feel, if you know what I mean.

    I just watched Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket and although I liked the character and mecha design and action and I understood what it was going for I really didn't get into the main characters. I think Al, despite the family and school problems, felt a bit too eager to please the Zeon soldiers. I still think the first Gundam is both the best Gundam series but also the best series directed by Yoshiyuki Tomino.

    Just yesterday I watched again the first episode of Zeta Gundam and this time the WTF? scenes made me laugh instead of just confused. It feels weird that the coach/teacher just hits Kamille and then he just keeps running like nothing ever happened. Then of course the scene where he hits Jerid because he said Kamille is a girl's name hit the jack pot. IIRC there were lots of similar moments. Maybe he really is an autistic child like he claimed in one episode. I think I'm going to re-watch the whole series but the first time I saw it I was a bit disappointed half way the series. MSG doesn't have as many WTF? moments and I liked that the only really evil characters were Gihren and possibly M'Quve but in Zeta Gundam almost all the Titans were complete monsters and I really preferred Amuro to Kamille as the main protagonist. Besides that, MSG had a clear plot that could be easily followed whereas Zeta Gundam felt like compulsory space fight after another, which especially after Macross felt a bit old fashioned.

    Now that I have seen Mobile Suit Gundam tv series I can definetely say it's worth viewing even if you've already seen the compilation movies. In the newtype scenes the series has better instrumental music but in the scene when Amuro and his mother has much more beautiful music. I really don't like G-Armor and I'm really happy it was edited out from the movies. Much of the character development makes more sense in the series than in the movies and I think it's maybe better that the newtype concept was really introduced much later than in the movies.

    But wouldn't that exclude the Japanese market? Sure, movies can have different names in different countries, but the opening titles and logos stay mostly the same.

    I've been watching 20 episodes of Turn A Gundam and for some reason I never feel any rush to watch the next episode. Some of it might have something to do with the character animation which is lacking. For some people Mobile Suit Gundam might have too cartoony facial expressions but I prefer it over having no expressions at all and I really prefer Yoshikazu Yasuhiko's character designs over Akira Yasuda's. The other thing that bugs me about Turn-A Gundam is that the dialogue feels sometimes very weird. When I re-watched Char's Counterattack it had some of the same problems, mainly too "subtle" character animation although I still liked it a lot as a whole. Maybe Yoshikazu Yasuhiko is the missing link as a character designer and the animation director who is largely to thank what I like about the first Gundam series and movies although I like the characterization and stories as well.

    Do you also think that just because ADV happened to be the first company to lisence Neon Genesis Evangelion it would had the right to trademark it in the western countries so that Manga Entertainment, Viz and Funimation should pay ADV for the use of NGE, instead of straight to Gainax? Fortunately that's not the case. NGE tv series was licensed by ADV, the first two movies by Mange Entertainment, Yoshiyuki Sadamoto's manga by Viz, Angelic Days manga by ADV and the new movies by Funimation. None of them own the trademark of Neon Genesi Evangelion, rightly so. Harmony Gold seems to be the only (ex) licensing company I know that has trademarked a show it only distributed. Even Disney hasn't trademarked Ghibli movies and I couldn't find trademark notices even in my Gundam DVD:s licensed by Bandai Entertainment.
