Sigh, another Gundam series.

One thing I dislike about Gundam anime is that a lot of things are certain facts in the gundam universe, at least the recent ones like Seed or Seed Destiny

1) Gundam are piloted by little boys/girls. Was there any explanation to why pubescent little kids are given the responsibility to pilot such weapons of mass destruction? At least with anime series' like Top wo Nerae 2 there were reasons. (Older people lose abilities to use 'Topless' powers.

2) Created with superior technology. And I'm not talking about 5~10 years ahead of everyone else, but more like hundreds of years difference. And the worst thing is, they don't explain HOW, WHO or any HISTORY behind any of the technology involved which bring me to my last point,

3) Only a Gundam can destroy a Gundam. This holds true for about 99% of all Gundam battles I've seen. It's like... sigh.. I give up trying to think...Just like this series, it takes no intelligence to enjoy it, but if you are like me, I'm constantly asking questions that this genre of series never seems to explain.
Let's hope this new one gets better.
