Agreed on all counts. And hence the usage of 'legendary' instead of 'popular' or whatever.

I think part of why Gai was/is so memorable is the "WHAT HE DIED IN EPISODE THREE" reaction. And like many people, I found it hard to get through much more of Nadesico because it was too typical big-robot for me; Gai at least had me smiling the whole time. The rest of the series just bored me to tears; I think a lot of people felt that way, hence his legendariness. Cool, I make up words. The theory my friends and I have is that he was stealing too much attention from the actual story/main characters, so they offed him. ;D
My guy friend who's a big-robot connoisseur has promised to share Gai's predecessors that he was sort-of tribute to, but I'm still waiting. :x

But yeah, I think that if you already liked TTGL, Kamina's exit wouldn't necessarily lose so many fans, not compared to Nadesico. Most people were invested in the series by that point.
