>>2323207>>2323238>>2323247>>2323255Yes it's the Higefix 2 book since that one is translated into english.
The mechadesigners featured are both pro and amateurs, the most prominent beeing the dude that designed most of the stuff in Xenosaga.
At the end of the book all of them get together for a discussion about mechadesign in general and gundamdesign in particular. Lots of good points raised including the state of gundam then(the book was published in 2002), the katoki-craze (and his failure to come up with something fresh when it comes to the gundam itself since his breakthrough with sentinel and peak around V), the elevens resistance towards the Turn A and the reasons thereof etc. etc.

>>2323256Isn't really related to this discussion at all. If you stop being butthurt you might've read that this discussion was about him designing gundams and aside from Unicorn (which really isn't that shocking or creative a design, most elements there are rehashed from the Huckbein series IMO) Katoki really hasn't done any _new_ paradigm-breaking gundam.
