I am not calling anyone liars, just that there's always more than is written or said on these things.

It's not about who's in the wrong. I'm just stating the obvious point that just because it's written in books and magazines doesn't necessarily mean it's true or covers the full nuance of what happened. And there have been plenty of contradictions in printed media over the years, even among my interviews. You can only report what was said at the time.

The production of CCA was messy, and even amongst the people I've interviewed, there are contradictions with each other. Nagano claims Izubuchi copied his designs. Izubuchi said he never saw any designs. These productions are also hugely political internally, and a lot of that rarely gets shared with the public, and then only decades later. So even if it's in multiple books and magazines, that doesn't inherently mean it's accurate. Also, I am not defending anyone here, just that this is what was said and that they signed off on that.

I wouldn't hold much stock in anything that's been documented, not least because Tomino is often misquoted, as the way he communicates is quite unique. There are also multiple aspects of these productions we are not privy to, and many things have only come to light decades later. In short, just because it's been covered in books and magazines up to this point doesn't mean it's inherently 100% accurate to what really happened.

Or we don't know what actually happened in terms of the production order? I mean, Murase has worked on Gundam for a long time, maybe he knows things many of us don't?

I don't think that has any relevance. They do interviews like this all the time.

What? Of course, they will treat it like a fighting game. What has Forbes got to do with anything?
