On the other hand, not only did they keep the non-standard large format that allows you to see Nagano's art in all its obsessively detailed glory, they also stuck translated sections of the voluminous collection of sourcebooks, complete with full-colour illustrations, in the back of each issue. Also, while the translation is beautifully written, the editing could use some serious work, as FSS has one of the highest numbers of spelling and punctuation errors you're likely to find in an English manga outside of a scanslation.

* PopCultureUrbanLegends: For over a decade people have always assumed that the reason Five Star Stories has never appeared in Super Robot Wars is that the LED Mirage was used by mistake in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars4'' without Nagano's permission, with the devs thinking it's from L-Gaim. In reality, the mech actually used was the Blood Temple which looks extremely similar to the Mirage as Nagano used the Blood Temple as a design basis for it. Blood Temple is in fact from L-Gaim and has never been used again because that isn't the mech that the final boss actually uses in the show, so it hasn't been used since in order to fix a continuity error. This SD design for the Blood Temple has appeared in other works since, officially drawn by Nagano, and has officially licensed garage kits. As for people saying that he doesn't want his robots to be damaged because they're the strongest, that's purely extrapolated from a Zeta Gundam interview with Tomino where he said that people these days care more about how powerful the Psyco Gundam is than about the interpersonal relationships between the characters, and his statement that the Mirage's flamethrower could kill even gods was him joking taking the piss out of such a mindset.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The series was originally conceived as being more of a RealRobot story, in the vein of ''Anime/ArmoredTrooperVOTOMS''. Nagano's earliest production sketches for the LED Mirage are even more stripped-down and utilitarian-looking than his designs for ''[[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Zeta Gundam]]''.
