He's not wrong but the last Gundam he worked on was terrible. He wrote and directed G-Reco.


"Tomino also lamented that he had noticed a fundamental change in his own creation over time. In the case of Gundam, however, the creator says it’s been driven by audience taste rather than shifting production techniques."


Lamenting that artists are going soft because of air conditioning and digital tools?

Having tweened every joint in hundreds of frames of model animation, I think he's just high on nostalgia. Suffering can inspire people, but I don't think grinding to express ideas adds as much as he thinks.
