Gundam VS Starwars

For those who dont know, Google Trends is a tool that allows you to compare search volumes of particular keywords - a rough measure of popularity for a particular subject over a period of time.
Done a comparison of Gundam vs Starwars (in Japanese) to find Gundam being far more popular - no surprises here. I then done a search for the same terms in English expecting to find Starwars being much more popular than Gundam and was surprised to see that the difference was trivial (see graph below). Gundam it seems has gained much ground outside of Japan too.

I grew up on Starwars but only discovered Gundam recently a few years back. Starwars comes and disappears for a few years - maybe the new TV series will bring the fever back? Gundam however seems to always be alive - theres always Gundam-something going on (Gunota is the best source).
A tough decision but for now its Gundam for me. The idea of Piloting a Mobile Suit is just too cool ^^;
