C3 Hong Kong 2011: Interview with Mobile Suit Gundam UC Author - Harutoshi Fukui

The author of the Mobile Suit Gundam UC novel series, Harutoshi Fukui, was in Hong Kong for the C3 HK 2001 event between March 11th-12th. It was within this time frame that Japan was dealing with the earthquake/tsunami disaster, but for the sake of the huge number Gundam fans at the event, he stayed for both the screening & signing session for the newly released Gundam UC Episode 3 'The Ghost of Laplace'. Afterwards he even gave a speech talking about Gundam, in which he also took the time to praise the creativities of the modellers in Hong Kong. It was a truly meaningful event.

During a press conference, Fukui sensei admitted that he was actually a fan of the UC era in the Gundam series. And that was the reason why he had decided to write the novel series Mobile Suit Gundam UC. When Fukui sensei had finished the entire story for Gundam UC, he nervously took his drafts to the orginal Gundam creator/director Yoshiyuki Tomino for his review. Fukui sensei even asked Tomino sensei to freely edit whatever he felt necessary. But Tomino sensei's respond was simply 'It is very good!'. This gave Fukui sensei a lot of encouragement.

With regards to the upcoming Gundam UC Episode 4, Fukui sensei revealed that the story will move from space down to earth. He actually spent quite a bit of time when writing this portion, figuring out just how to deal with the physics for weapons effects & MS operations under earth's gravity, in order to be able to protray a realistic result. The anime production team of Gundam UC hopes to produce another high quality episode for everyone to enjoy. And also, to satisfy the older generation Gundam fan, in episode 4 there will be appearance of lots of MSV mobile suits that until now had only been seen in manga / novels. This really make us all eager for the upcoming episode this Fall.

Support For Japan Earthquake/Tsunami Relief Effort

'Manga creator Akira Toriyama (Dragon Ball, Dr. Slump) posted the above message of support for the victims of 3/11 earthquake and tsunami. The Image had Goku & Arale Norimaki saying 'Ganbare!!', which would mean 'Hang in there!' Is a great encouragement for both adults & kids during these harsh times in Japan.'

For those of us who does not live in Japan, the best way to help is to donate in the relief efforts. I had placed some links to some non-profit organizations on my side bar. Pls feel free to donate. And your contiuous thoughts & prayers for the survivors & relief effort workers is also very important.

My fellow gunplar buddy Sonar @ Gundam Australia will also be taking up a collection to help our ailing brothers in Japan. Please help by spreading the word and giving what you can. No amount is too small!

Donations via paypal to japanquake gundamaustralia com

And I would like to thank those of you whom had sent private emails/messages to me asking/offering to set up a relief fund for Japan via this blog/my store. Your thoughts & gesture for the people of Japan is certainly well appreciated. But I feel there are already many sources thru which we can donate, so I would encourage you to donate via Gundam Australia or other non-profit organizations. Let's help however we can.
