I never bothered to finish it either. Victory Gundam might as well be an alternate universe series like Wing, Seed etc. It’s so removed from the main UC timeline, both in time and in tone.

Also, I've read that one of the special features on the Japanese DVDs is a commercial of Tomino telling you not to watch the show. Yeah, I had trouble getting through Victory Gundam as well.

Hiroshi Sato, an animator at Gainax, admitted in 2003 that he was one of the people interviewed, and that the film crew just came to his house and started taping as he rambled on with little prior setup (though he didn't say who he was). And an associate who worked with Craig York (the American) mentioned in an interview that he was similarly unscripted. I wouldn't be surprised, though, if some of those interviews turned out to be staged. I can't imagine that someone would actually masturbate while being interviewed. But...then...these are Japanese otaku we're talking about, so I suppose that's not completely beyond the scope of possibility. :P I know for certain that at least two were unscripted.

You sure those were serious? thanks for the reviews/warnings - it’s been … i think 4 years since I watched Otaku No Video (it really was on video then–eeww!) but in my memory, the live interviews looked thoroughly scripted and played for laughs, or for cringes in some cases.

It's a pretty good series, but it does have some ridiculous story elements from time to time (hey ZZ did have that Moon Moon thing, didn't it?).
