Napton then answered a question about a possible licensing of Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ, Gundam X, and the Gundam Seed films, saying that there are no definitive plans for any of those works to be released in the U.S. right now.


All of Gundam Seed and Destiny stuff was licensed, including the truncated movie versions. Should that be Victory Gundam, since its one of the three shows that haven't been licensed in the US yet? Or is that in reference to Stargazer?

If Sunrise wants to learn how to sell Gundam they have to understand that what works in Japan might not necessarily work in America. I looked at the main trailer for Gundam Unicorn, and half of it was simply pretty music while various space scenes are shown. They don't have the characters talking, they don't have some guy hype it up. The reason why Gundam Wing was a huge hit was that Toonami made the tv series look so cool. They seem to think that one style fits and all and America isn't buying Gundam.

Ozaki noted there are two more Sacred Seven projects upcoming, with one episode in the works currently. One of the projects is known as the "Night Edition," which will be from Night's point of view. Ozaki said hopefully some time next year Sunrise can show a preview of that new project.


Yes! yes!

More Sacred Seven related stuff is always nice...and I'm hoping the 2nd project is a second season. Very Happy

how do they like the character designs for Gundam AGE, since they are a bit younger looking. After the audience grumbled a bit, Ozaki said he was afraid of that. Ozaki said that fans in Japan have the same reaction. He added that the first episode only aired last Sunday in Japan, but the viewer reaction after they saw the episode was "eh, I guess it works." So, Ozaki asked the audience to be patient, and to not discriminate against it just because of how it looks.


Also...what's with the hatred towards young looking characters? I...honestly don't care about a character's age, as long as they're good looking I'm perfectly fine. Don't give us too many obese or grizzled old men though....I guess that's what made Kotetsu in T&B so unique, he's old and good looking at the same time.

What? No one had the balls to ask about a continuation to Kekkaishi?! Terribly, terribly disappointing.
