>With the Gundam franchise surging in popularity after the first Gundam anime's broadcast, Tomino spoke on his thoughts regarding the current state of the franchise. “When you say 'I like Gundam,' the words that come up are, of course, 'mobile suit battles are cool.' That is not the point. At all.” Tomino lamented. Speaking about those currently making Gundam the director was a little less abrasive. “My younger colleagues are making Gundam series today, and I don't feel a sense of experience with war.” He continued by saying he's not sure if he could teach wartime experiences to a younger generation who has not experienced them firsthand.
>Finally, when asked about future endeavors, Tomino said he has something he would like to make. While he did not go into much detail, Tomino did elaborate a bit: “The war in Ukraine has been going on for three years now and the conflict in Israel for 30 to 40 years. I don't think we understand these things very well. So, the theme is whether humanity can stop this social behavior.”
