12:08 PM - Floor opens for Q & A

12:10 PM - Pretty satisfied with the changes. Kuroda's idea for Gundam 0 fight at end.

12:12 PM Favorite machine Death Scythe , likes F-91 as series. ~Kuroda

12:15 PM - Done with FMA 12:17 PM - Relation between Setsuna & "Mr. Bushido" ambiguity but will be answered in movie.

12:13 PM - Not really planning on focusing on the end of the conflict but please wait for the movie.

12:26 PM - Hasn't had too much severe criticism but not much can do about it but move on.

12:30 PM - Movie takes place after series but will address some of the past. Still working on side stories but will take into consideration of fan suggestions into expanding history in movie.

12:32 PM - Main point to over emphasize on technology, to over the top.

12:33 PM - The director actually didn't watch much Gundam, Kuroda would point him in direction of keeping it in line with other Gundam series.

12:38 PM - There was some doubt if I was the right director the job. Some ideas were not able to be developed fully so decided to have them in a movie.

12:40 PM - Apart from Gundam or FMA, enjoyed Generator Gaol? as director. was 1st series.

Kuroda likes all series done but if had to choose it would have to be screenwriting for Trigun.

12:42 PM - Wanted to mix things up on a global scale so specifically requested for more diverse cast of char.

12:45 PM - Any chars wished who could have been killed off at the end or earlier?

I think we killed off enough of them... [laughs]

12:49 PM - Thinking of addressing more character background through other media.

12:53 PM - Clip showed of newest project Hanamaru Kindergarten, will be directed by Mizushima (loli fans rejoice).
