“You like Yasuhiro Imagawa’s anime?“

“They’re okay…”

“His early work storyboarding and writing for some of Sunrise’s best mecha anime int he 80s was important for sure, but when he directed Mobile Fighter G Gundam came out in ‘94, hereally came into his own, commercially and artistically.”

“The whole anime has a really unique flair compared to early Gundam series, with clear influences from fighting anime and Imagawa’s beloved Hong Kong wuxia productions that really give the series’ distinct profile a big boost!“

“He’s been compared to Yoshiyuki Tomino-san, but I think Imagawa has a bigger flair for the grandiose and the dramatic, both in terms of action and character drama.”

“Hey Halbestram…”

“Yes, Allen?“

“Why are there gunpla assembly instructions all over the place, you have a collection? You trying to make a little diorama or something?”

“No, Allen.”

“Is that a raincoat?”

“In 04, Imagawa released this: the Tetsujin 28 reboot, perhaps his most profound and accomplished series.“

“A series featuring a character so iconic not only for the mecha genre but to anime and Japanese pop culture as a whole that people probably don’t pay attention to the subtext…”

“…but they should, because it’s not just about the horror that science is capable of creating in wartime, and the importance of letting go of the past, it’s also a personal statement about the director himself!”

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-

“-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH”

“TRY TELLING PEOPLE THAT GUNDAM SEED IS BETTER THAN GUNDAM X NOW YOU FUCKIN’ STUPID BASTARD!”
