Ahem

Well, discuss anything you want about the series here. The whole internet is talking about it. There's more stuff to put of course, but I think I've done a decent job on potraying some information on it on a basic level. I'll be working on getting character profiles and pictures on next. -SuperSonicSP 16:55, June 13, 2011 (UTC)

Honestly the three generation premise of this series was interesting and I was eager for the official press release, but now...

It's painful.

The character/mech designs and general art style scream pet monster trainer nightmare. It really looks like a bad Digimon series. Ugh. I hope what I am seeing is not indicative of the series, however I have yet to see much that I liked from that mech designer (didn't like Kiddy Grade, Vandred, ect.). Didn't play much Level 5, but Dark Cloud sticks painfully in my mind. White Knight Chronicles looked really cool, but I heard it had Power Ranger level story depth. I've heard that Rogue Galaxy was really good, but sadly it is one of the many video games I bought, but haven't had time for yet. Gunpla Builders looks serious compared to this.

Granted I'm bitching a bit early it deserves watching to really know, but I get a bad feeling. Couldn't watch the trailer. The only Japanese web proxy I ever found is acting up again and no one has posted it to Youtube yet.

All in all, gives off a similar visual vibe to another Gundam production: MS Saga a New Dawn. This game was a cheap attempt to hook in JRPG fans by gathering together the biggest, most tired RPG clichés and dumping Gundam on it. It was terrible and it failed in it's mission (wonder why?). Meh gameplay and graphics and painfully bad story. The worst part of it is Sunrise already had a perfectly good "JRPG" that had already been produced and was just waiting to be made into a Roleplaying Game - After War Gundam X.

Age is also directer by the director of the Sergeant Frog films. That series was a nice, but... only in a weekly, meh sort of way. Though it's Gundam referencing was fun. Personally I like Hayate no Gotoku better. Quote Sanizen Nagi: "Zieg Ze**!"

The trailer's here: Gundam Age Trailer in Youtube --Bronx01 (talk|contribs) 03:41, June 14, 2011 (UTC)

Thank you, I appreciate it. ^__^ Looks a little bit better, still too juvenille if you ask me, but we'll see when the series rolls out.

So far, i'm not sold on the series, from what I saw (thanks for the YT link, Bronx01 !). The UE has the reek of the Varja from Macross Frontier, and the general artwork of the characters is a bit of a turnoff. It doesn't feel right to me for some reason. As for the mecha, maybe they'll grow on me...maybe.

It'd be nice to have a source to my translations again rather than having them plagurized as usual =) Deackychu 15:37, June 14, 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, Deacon. That would be my bad. -SuperSonicSP 17:44, June 14, 2011 (UTC)
About the characters, I copied the spellings from the site. I planned on citing the site when I wrote it (I even put a note in the summary when editing (look at history)) but just forgot. I put the website link at the external links. --Bronx01 (talk|contribs) 18:20, June 14, 2011 (UTC)

"Advanced Generation"?

Where did this come from? —AscendedAlteran 11:49, June 21, 2011 (UTC)

It's listed on the story page of the Gundam AGE official website. A.G.101年-(Advanced Generation)Deackychu 12:07, June 21, 2011 (UTC)

Ah, okay. I was just a little worried after I saw this post on AnimeSuki. —AscendedAlteran 12:26, June 21, 2011 (UTC)
One of the gallery images also shows it. -SuperSonicSP 17:12, June 21, 2011 (UTC)

Gafran Mirage

No official publication lists this name so I've removed it for the time being. Deackychu 22:53, July 24, 2011 (UTC)

AGE-2 & AGE-3

I've deleted the supposed "proof" of the second and third units. There's no credible source cited for it. Until there is, I'm classifying it as fanart and deleting it to avoid misleading fans.

The look of it is pretty official. I doubt that someone would have the time to make up all of that as fanart. But you may be rightGaeaman 788 -Will be mostly offline and touring London from Sep. 17-20. All questions and/or concerns should go to my talk page 08:00, September 19, 2011 (UTC)

Gundam Guy has very reliable news and has posted that : http://www.gginfinitenews.com/?p=12520 . So I think it's pretty much official. However, they look like they're only early sketches (like the preview from the 00 Movie). HPZ - O.N.E. 15:20, September 19, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, and that site is also the source for "Gafran Mirage" for the purple mobile suits, which isn't true at all. They source a chinese site far too often it seems. If you notice, the corners are deliberately cut off, eliminating the source. This wouldn't be the first time Japan has pulled a prank like this. Deackychu 17:28, September 19, 2011 (UTC)
Didn't notice that it was placed in here, I checked yesterday just in case. Too bad this is most like fake, because that AGE-2 is a very awesome design. -SuperSonicSP 17:32, September 19, 2011 (UTC)
It would be logical to assume that the other two Asuno boys would modify the AGE-1 when they get it and, admittedly, the designs are cool, but I believe the images should not be posted until we can find many credible or official sources that can that can support it. Also, as the series has not even premiered yet, wouldn't be too early to release this kind of information? -Flag Meister 19:56, September 19, 2011 (UTC)

New Characters

Could someone translate the names and descriptions of those characters in the image gallery and add them to the the list that exists on the MSG AGE page? The ones with the black background behind them? That would be very appreciated! -Flag Meister 20:11, September 19, 2011 (UTC)
