Well the Deakka comment and the general I-dont-give-a-fuck tone makes me see how Gundam Destiny is turning out the way it is...

I was shocked at how much he planned character development around the VA. Shouldn't they just be the tools to deliver the written character? I mean, its like the means are the ends...

His comments on the female characters were pretty damn funny.

And Mwu and Rau as Newtypes... what does that make Rey in Destiny?

Q: About Gundam?
A: Out of all of the previous series, only Tomino-san's Gundam lasted a year (Translator's note: Not quite sure what Fukuda means here). Gundam is serious. Production cost of other anime is about 10-12 million yen, but SEED was 25 million yen (Further note: Presumably, Fukuda means on a per-episode basis rather than the entire series cost as a whole). This is a business where money comes by adding "Gundam." Gundam is awesome. For normal anime, they have to get it within 9 million yen. However, there are times you go over the budget which means you cover the excess cost with merchandise goods. For Gundam, no one argues if you use 15 million yen because it is guranteed that you can recover the cost with merchandise goods.

This bastard IS just using the good name of Gundam to sell model kits, video games etc. and feels that sales are the focus, rather than delivering a good product. I feel like I've been watching a great long advertisement the whole time... And these were his thoughts on SEED... Destiny is far worse (The Quest to Make More Money, ala Spaceballs 2)

Q: About Mwu stopping Dominion's beam. Is that a miracle?
A: It was an anti-beam shield so it can stop it, right?
Someone refutes Fukuda by "Isn't Lohengrin an anti-fortress beam..." and Fukuda replies, "I didn't know that *laughs*"

And this bit proves that they dont pay a shit of attention to technology consistency or believability of weapons development. When its time to make promote a new model, they kill a character or change his role in the show or have a big battle where something gets destroyed so they can have another newer one come out...

God this guy pisses me off
