The mechanical design of the anime Turn A Gundam is the first and only in the series, using a non-Japanese designer. Industrial designer Syd Mead designed these mecha with the view of simple and realistic, instead of following Japanese trend of mecha like designs, he introduced more industrial design methods into the mechas. The new designs are very controversial to the fans, and the director Yoshiyuki Tomino felt that they are exotic and are not generally accepted. However, this is also what he intended and he did not think the hard work is wasted, since the show overall received good comments. The show also used mechas from older series.
Famous quotes containing the words list and/or turn:
“I made a list of things I have
to remember and a list
of things I want to forget,
but I see they are the same list.”

“The child who would be an adult must give up any lingering childlike sense of parental power, either the magical ability to solve your problems for you or the dreaded ability to make you turn back into a child. When you are no longer hiding from your parents, or clinging to them, and can accept them as fellow human beings, then they may do the same for you.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
