Wait is that seriously a love triangle? Didn't Amuro like meet her once?.....now that you mention it, was watching Space Runaway Ideon (made by same director) and despite only meeting in the previous episode (and possibly only knowing each other for like a day or so) Cosmo and Kitty were supposed to be boyfriend and girlfriend and then she gets shot..............i'm starting to think early Gundam doesn't do relationships well.

Good review and pretty much in line with my thoughts. The ambitious three-generation story needed a firmer hand steering it, and the Vagan were very undercooked as far as Gundam antagonist factions go. While effective in previous generations, Flit REALLY outstays his welcome in Gen3 while suffocating so many other characters in the process like Millais, Natora, and Asemu. AGE suffers from a bad case of "throw stuff at the wall and see if it sticks" writing quality, which would have killed any other story with a more "normal" structure. They can't blame this poor quality on aiming the show for kids - that is an incredibly insulting cop-out. AGE would have worked with tighter writing, more conscious use of existing characters, and a better character balance overall.

I did enjoy the series, especially the first arc, but then the pace becomes crazy and by Kio's arc, its just trying to jump from major battle to major battle with little to no character development apart from the young red-haired Kira. Great review btw, I've always felt something was wrong with Zeheart at the last arc

I'll have to check this review out sometime. Keep it up mate! Age was one of my favorite series, however, I mainly only cared for Flit Asuno's arc. The rest was /X Don't get me wrong, I still watched and enjoyed it. But Age was just hard to get into for me. I honestly wish that Flit just remained the main character (on-screen, as per the usual) throughout the entire series. If I want a young protagonist series like this, but with a really-really good story and awesome artwork, I'll go with Victory Gundam. The only downside with Victory is there's no English dub. Hopefully fans will produce fandubs one day to make up for this though, with Victory, ZZ, and I think there may be a couple more that never got dubbed. For Gundam, I'd expect it to eventually happen. But it would seem we can't count on an official dub of any of their older series. They're not smart enough to make that business decision, for some reason. Maybe they will prove what I just said wrong, but I doubt it.

Age needed to have a full season for each gen. If that were to happen then I'd bet that age would have some more time to fit character development in there without feeling rushed. But as soon as we get to gen 3... I'd like to have the grandkid left hanging off the hull of the Deva with no skin... And could we give Asamu some kind of edge since he doesn't have the chance to become an X-rounder. I kinda relate to him when he was having his feelings of being inadequate to keep up with Wolf or his father. I feel those feelings all the time. But some how I carry on...

My god...AGE was such trash because of the 3rd part. The pacing is indeed an issue, but Kio is so terrible to the point I was rooting for Flint to destroy the entire Vagan faction considering they were too stupid to live. Ezelcant couldn't even do Treize's plan right considering the world was ALREADY at peace until THEY attacked! Lou is just a plot contrivance, a sad puppy moment. After Kio goes to the Mars base is just make him the absolute worst I was disgusted. His own side are being killed because of his decision to pass off the AGE device and whine about peace! Loran is simply PEAK of pacifism. Kio's final means of "pacifism" is to MINDRAPE people into compliance! That's some villain shit, there!

few problems that i have in this series: -in gen 3, before Diva dispatched, there's no reason for Flit to give AGE-3 to Kio other than inherit the Gunda -considering Flit can ask his former assistant to give him Diva, he could replace Natora with another competent captain (but i don't hate her tho). so Flit can fight on the frontline again with Kio more often -Asemu's ideology about balance is total bulls*it -in the gen 1, the series trying so hard to keep Vagan's secret to the very end of the arc. Vagan origin revealed by Grodek after he did some "investigation", there's no hint/clue about their origin

Age was my first experience of Gundam so I didn't have the comparison from other Gundam shows and this is my first mecha show/ this type of show so I didn't notice the problems in general. So I'm safe to say I enjoyed it. Seed Destiny is a lot painful compared to this. I do agree this show has a lot of potentials and missed opportunities.

The fact Age's mecha designs look different from 00 series isn't too surprising, because they take place in entirely different calendar eras. Most all Gundam calendar eras connect chronologically in the same one timeline, and while 00 and Age may be chronologically connected, that doesn't mean mobile suits from different eras will look similar (or, very similar) to ones in other calendar eras. Maybe some similarities, since it's a Gundam show we're dealing with in every case, but not the same, or anything. Honestly, I enjoyed the mecha designs in Age. It's the story itself, after Flit's main role, that I didn't enjoy too much. It made me want to go back and re-watch Victory Gundam, because that was a way better story to experience.

I gotta say, at least with the first two arcs, I really liked Gundam Age. Yeah the pacing is pretty bad, but I’d still say it was worth it. The third arc though, nah, this arc is just as bad as people say it is. I simply can’t defend it. It has the worst protagonist, the worst story, the worst pacing, and the worst characters. For the most part. The only thing I really liked about it was the main Gundam. It has a neat design, an appealing color scheme, and some pretty cool moves. But what good is the Gundam when the story and characters are awful. If I ever get around to rebinging the series, I’ll just stop after the second arc.
