I'm sure everyone will be very surprised, but... I agree with Mladen in this instance. Yeah, maybe he didn't pull any punches, but I have to say that I agree with his general sentiment.

(...) Again, I must agree with you guys and that is why my Gundam is called ZERO, not Wing ZERO. This is my second Gundam ever and as such its flaws are countless.
