That's why I just said Dynasty Warriors and not the series I agree, I just thought you may have been a fan of the material.
I never watched Gundam, my friends who liked them said DW:G wasn't too good, but they are quite cynical.
I've seen a bit of it and I have the up most respect for it, it seems very political, have you seen Evangelion?
True and it's not like they have disappeared, although it would be nice if you could find a copy of 1 :\
