    1. Turn A Gundam had a dated design when it originally came out.

    2. Turn A is supposed to look retro futurist. Kind of a big theme of the show, too...

    3. To be honest, I see Turn A first on SRW Alpha Gaiden and feel unique from it, not bash it or somewhat. Yes I like unique things from the start and it'll not change even Turn A design come today.

    4. Honestly, I wouldn't feel one way or the other about it (pretty much my reaction to every Gundam until I see it in action). But Syd Mead's designs are timeless. They may not be "flashy" or "attention-grabbing", but they grow on you the more you look at them. I'm sure Turn A will still be remembered long after stuff like Unicorn is forgotten.

      Geez, I didn't know hanging laundry from your arms while sitting on a hillside amounts to giving birth. The rest of humanity totally has got the process all wrong! :P
