Gundam AGE

Sunrise released a new PV for the next chapter in the Gundam franchise. Mobile Suit Gundam AGE.

"It has been a few hundred years since humans began to live on space colonies. In A.G. 101, an unknown enemy (UE) "GAFRAN" suddenly attacks one of the colonies "Angel". A long war against UE has begun.

In A.G 108, seven year old Flit Asuno lost his mother when UE attacked his colony "Ovan". His mother left him a memory unit "AGE" which had stored data of an ancient mobile suit Gundam. In A.G. 114, Flit completes the Gundam AGE and counterattacks against GAFRANs."

Despite the questionable character designs the plot synopsis and that trailer were more than enough to get me excited. Gundam AGE will show the entirety of a 100 year war against the UE encompassing the lives of three pilots.

What are the feelings of others on this?

The younger designs were a surprise, but the trailer and synopsis do spin things in a very positive light. With an overreaching story arc which will cover an entire century, there's plenty of room for development and an involved storyline. I'm hyped too.

Seeing this really makes me want to buy the latest Gundam Unicorn DVD.

it looks really kid-tastic. i mean the ? years later season or spin off might not be to bad but this will never bee what others B4 it were

It's really not supposed to be. Sunrise is trying to hook a new generation on Gundam. The old guard won't be around forever.

Besides Akihiro Hino of Level-5 is doing the script. I think that automatically means it's gonna be good.

After Gundam 00 I thought Sunrise would come back with something to rival that in how it looks. But I will watch it anyway.
