Random Tomino & Yasuhiko comments
Following are part of Yoshiyuki Tomino interview from the July issue of Gundam Ace.
Question: Any plans for making a new Gundam series?
Tomino: I believe that's a job for the younger generation. We are starting to see a genealogy with SEED and DESTINY so there is no need for me to create one. Before SEED came, I believed there was no need for new Gundam. The main reason was working on Turn A Gundam. I believed Turn A Gundam was the final statement for Gundam. That's why I have no interest in the newer Gundam series. As a series, market will continue to exist so I hope Gundam becomes a project for the younger generation. The important thing is how the young creators make the series and what kind of new message they include in it. I believe that is going to be rigorous job. On top of that I still feel old people should not be working on it.
Following are comments made by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko at an autograph session for the Collector's Edition of The Origin 1.
