Mobile Fighter G Gundam
During the North American DVD production interviews for "Mobile Fighter G Gundam", Imagawa was asked to address the message "See you again Gundam Fight 14" shown at the last cut of the final episode. He answered that it was simply word play and had no intention of affirming a sequel to the anime. Granted its large number of manga side-stories, Imagawa surmised that it would be "impossible" to create an animated sequel or OVA series to "G Gundam" and disclosed he would not direct it if there were. He said, "I believe "G Gundam" is a series that started as a program for kids and eventually worked out because I stayed vividly aware of that until the very last moment, overcoming a lot of obstacles and bad situations (in terms of directing)."
