Heck both studios have worked together in some of the Gundam games.) While Blue Water Studios is not as popular as the Ocean Group (in fact some have even considered Blue Water to be a [[Poor Mans Substitute]] for Ocean). However in Blue Water's defense they have been in some renowned dubs such as ''[[Mobile Fighter G Gundam (Anime)|Mobile Fighter G Gundam]]'', and the [[Mega Man X]] series since X8.
