IT Media recently interviewed Abiko Yoshikazu, original character designer for the 1979 Mobile Suit Gundam TV anime. Presently he's serializing the manga "Gundam the Origin" in Gundam Ace Magazine. On the series, the illustrator comments to IT: "Gundam was an indeed mysterious experience. Why is it favoured in such a way? The reason is not really understood why the series has enjoyed such a long life. It was audacious. Even if it was not exactly of good quality, its attributes have to a great deal defined Japanese animation around the world." |
