Does it not seem odd that in the gundam anime series, the writers understand and address the role that pollution, strip mining, and dirty energy play in destroying the environment and causing massive civil unrest, and then the RX-78-2 the symbol and savior of the series is now promoting the engine of destruction that leads to war? Seems off to me.
ReplyDeleteThis would have been alot cooler if they had an actual sense of SCALE, instead of treating the RX-78 like some over-sized Macy's Day Parade Mickey Mouse balloon. Eh, but then again, Gundam fans these days know no better nor do they deserve any better.....
