| A guide book of Gundam 00 "Mobile Suit Gundam 00 MISSION COMPLETE 2307-2312" released on May 8th. The book had interviews with the production staff. Among the positive comments of other staff, Chiba Michinori (the character designer and the episode art director) made negative remarks. Q. How do you feel now having the series ended? Chiba: We got a suspended sentence, so nothing to say about it. Annotation: Suspended sentence implies the movie of Gundam 00. Q. How do you think about your performance for Gundam 00? Chiba: It was a tough job to work on HD format. The quality control was outside my province, but I concerned about the finish. I hope the audiences were pleased with the anime, yet. Annotation: Finish here means the finishing of each episode, not the finale of the series. Q. Summing up the all the seires, how do you feel about Gundam? Chiba: I have mixed feelings about it... Q. Any comments to the audiences and the readers? Chiba: I expect you to discern what I mean. Our struggle has begun. Source: Scan of Gundam 00 Mission Complete |

| you got it done, you still got a job, quit your whining. bust your ass off even harder next time. |
| I can only imagine the tremendous amount of work put into every episode. I did like the series and am quite looking forward to the movie since the 2nd season did leave much room for more stuff to be added. |
"It's because you exist.. That I'm here right now.."  |
| Ok... I'm not liking this... It's leaving a bad taste in my mouth... |
| there was definetely alot of poor artwork in this series when it came to characters. so qc sucked up big time, i would be disappointed if im part of a team and the performed worse the second part of the series. |
| Their responses were a bit... disheartening to say the least. |

| I think this is not a translation issue? But the responses seem awkward.... |

| I'd be disstatisfied too if I had designed those characters... |
| I thought Yun Kouga did the character designs? |

dreamfar said: I thought Yun Kouga did the character designs? Yes, Kouga and Chiba did the character design of Gundam 00. Kouga's comments in the book were pretty positive. |
| I have mixed feelings about Gundam 00 too. I don't really the characters but the new Gundam designs are okay, yet most of the mobile suits don't look too good. I mean.. The ones the Gundam Meisters pilot are awesome but everything else is just so... Its not as good of a job done as the UC mobile suits. Perhaps, the UC era mobile suits are the ultimate masterpiece of the mecha designers. |

Have to not agreed with your opinion, MS Design on 00 is great, not great as Zeta But still i love the design for Gadessa n GNX, n Masurao too. For the topic itself Its sounded like... sarcasm ? But if true... the question is, to who ? |

Kira01 said: In my opinion, the MS designs in Turn A were the best, but that would be a slap in the face to a lot of fans, because, apparently, they were made "ugly" on purpose. Also, the Gundam designs were terrible, or at least in S2. At least they didn't overdo it, like they did in SEED, though, with LOLBACKPACKSFUCKINGEVERYWHERE.I have mixed feelings about Gundam 00 too.

| It is fascinating how people can't analyze anything without comparing to other things LOL Still, I would understand if he was talking about the filthy second season. First season was great, best Gundam ever. |
| I personally love the 00 series both the first and second, but the movie was a total letdown in terms of plot and character development. |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
