miles316 Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 Is their any were one can watch Gundam Age legitimately like Crunchyroll which does not have it on its line up? Quote
miles316 Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 Is any one perplexed by the earth forces ability to rebuff the vegas attack on the space fortress that easily? Quote
reeoyuy Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) It's not easy victory. Many EF units slaughtered although all named characters survived (even Woolf got damaged). And maybe one or two Darwin-class cruisers sank off-screen. EF got the advantage for being in defensive position, and it's not like their defensive forces inferior to that Vagan. We even saw another Diva-class ship deployed. Needless to say they went all out. Plus they have competent commander, superior tactics and most importantly POWER OF GUNDAM!

miles316 Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 But the Earth forces managed to take out one of the Vegan ship it seems to be a draw it just seams un gundam to have the Earth win that definitively. I think Flints a dead man I'm sorry but with having the father or both parents dieing as a standard part of most gundams plots means He is going die. Quote
reeoyuy Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 According to initial plan, Flit is supposed to live for the whole three generations. It may change though. But imagine final battle with Flit, his son, and grandson in their respective Gundam doing final shooting pose together . Quote
miles316 Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 OK I guess he is the exception to the rule cool. Quote
grss1982 Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 The plot's thickening by the way as of Episode 24. * Grodek assasinated by the kid during the Ambat opeeartion. * Kid from Ambat operation that kills Grodek, also is killed by mysterious people in suits..probably some feddy faction that Grodek was getting evidence on. * Also, new toys for Asemu to make him equal a X-Rounder? Hmm....... Quote
azrael Posted March 26, 2012 Author Posted March 26, 2012 Surprisingly, I thought this week's episode wasn't too bad. Compared to last week's that is. Quote
Archer Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Surprisingly, the gundam wiki says that Asemu is classified as an X-Rounder. It really would be awesome if he wasn't an X-Rounder though, and still pwned anyways... Eat your heart out Newtype; Coordinator; Innovator; X-Rounder Quote
miles316 Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 I must be a massively parenoid person becouse I for a few seconds thought Flint ordered Grodek's murder. I need help!!! Quote

It really would be awesome if he wasn't an X-Rounder though, and still pwned anyways... Gundam Wiki is probably jumping the gun. He probably is, but I don't recall them mentioning Asemu's abilities yet. Considering AGE-2's focus on manueverability and Asemu's knack for gun kata and dual weapons, I'd love it if the producers threw in a "What? He destroyed X mobile suits in Y minutes?" (where Y<X). Quote
Beltane70 Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 I'm more interested in what Grodek deleted from his phone before he died was. Quote
VF-15 Banshee Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 It would help if adult Flit were a little more fleshed out. Maybe with some Treize-style internal monologues? Or if this episode didn't completely ignore all the character drama from the last episode... Hey here's a thought. Instead of frakkin' Dique finding Asemu about to scarper with the Mu-cell, wouldn't it have been a great scene if ROMARY had caught him instead? 'Course the trick to that is inventing an excuse to get her off the bridge... ah hah! Flit notices the AGE-2 is late launching again and says so. Romary, who's been looking for an excuse to talk to Asemu since he blew her off, personally volunteers to go look for him. On her way to the hangar, she sees him go into the room where the Mu-cell is kept, goes in to find him smashing the case and bob's yer uncle. But that didn't happen because Romary is a plot-device, not an actual character. Concerning Asemu, my theory is that Wuulf will die in the next episode or two and finally give him the power to become a Super Pilot. It could also underscore how much Asemu and Flit have drifted apart. This lack of romance in AGE is kinda baffling. I wonder if we'll eventually get the Ikeda Excuse. I mean, just looking back at SEED, which was last generation's flagship show, you really have to wonder. We had Kira/Flay sex scene and tragedy, Athrun and Cagalli, Mu and Murrue's tragic romance, Miriallia/Tolle/Dearka, and the supposed relationship between Kira and Lacus. Smeg, I think at one point I got a vibe that Natarle might also have had a thing for Kira. Quote
Archer Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 If AGE keeps up with how the following generation's kids' hair will match their mother's hair (i.e. Asemu's matching his mother's), then I'm 99% sure that Romary will be the mother of the third generation's protagonist (as he has the same brown hair). On the other hand, I think that Asemu actually won't get any X-rounder powers and will still succeed, but if he does, he will do it in a way that doesn't involve appeasing his father. Quote
Hikuro Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 Pineapple Salad is universal. Was either him or the bowl hair cut guy can NEVER remember his name. Eh, I'm sure he'll get his too. Gundams known to screw the lil guy as well. Quote
azrael Posted April 10, 2012 Author Posted April 10, 2012 Pineapple Salad is universal. Mmmkay....See, pineapple salad, requires the use of actual fruit...in and as food. That didn't happen. And the "older mentor" dying ain't new with Gundam. Quote
VF-15 Banshee Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 I suppose the term for Gundam would be 'Favorite Pasta.' Quote
Archer Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 And there goes my favorite, and most likely the most dynamic character of the series. Wow, why'd they have to kill off Woolf. He gave a breadth of comedy and energy to a series that was taking itself way to seriously imho for what it was, and I really liked the whole mentor student relationship with Asemu. And the G-Bouncer was cool as well. Altogether, I'm pretty dissappointed... Quote
Beltane70 Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 We knew it was bound to happen eventually. Quote
ron5864 Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 There were so many foreshadowing of that event that a pineapple salad was not even needed. But sometimes, the writters mess with the audience by putting foresshadowing clues but the death never occurred. Ozma survived that. Quote

What if he's a Z-rounder?? Quote
Bri Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 Fun episode, funny how they played with expectations by putting flags on the marriage proposal guy and then do something different. Nekketsu > wannabe Newtypes Quote
Archer Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 That brings up something (that one marriage proposal guy). Have any of you guys felt that AGE is really bad with names, or is it just me? Having watched almost all the gundam series available, I know the names of almost every little character (and all major ones) from Shiro Amada to Dearka Elsman, but beyond Asemu, Flit, Romary, Zeheart, and Woolf, I can barely remeber the names of anyone else in AGE. I even had to look up Largan Drace in the season 1 character outlines before I remembered his name.... Laslty, Gundam wiki edited Asemu's page from "X-Rounder" status to "Super Pilot" status. lol Quote
azrael Posted April 11, 2012 Author Posted April 11, 2012 That brings up something (that one marriage proposal guy). Have any of you guys felt that AGE is really bad with names, or is it just me? It's probably due to the fact that we aren't getting as much time to spend with them as we would a normal linear series. Here we only see the only glimpses of their lives as oppose to previous shows where we followed them for 6-months out of the year (viewer perspective). With AGE, we're only spending 3-months before they move on to the next generation. So perhaps our mental investment isn't as great as it would be with a different series. Quote

Nekketsu > wannabe Newtypes He's not out of the woods yet! He still has plenty of time to pay for his proposal. Quote
Bri Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 He's not out of the woods yet! He still has plenty of time to pay for his proposal. Heh, that is true. Gundam is known to hold a grudge. Poor Flay Allster hid in her room for 40 something episodes, after sleeping with Kira. Didn't save her either. Quote

Didn't save her either. But Mu La Flaga came back from the dead after getting blasted head on trying to shield Archangel in Gundam Seed. So anything is possible. Quote
Archer Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 ^ But can Marriage Proposal Guy make the impossible possible? Quote
VF-15 Banshee Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 His name is Obright Lorain. And yes, the names in this series are patently weird. Fezarl Ezelcant doesn't roll off the tongue quite as neatly as Treize Khushrenada. Quote

Yes, now that you mention it. For me the minor characters seem to be more like background static than usual. I don't know why that is. Quote
Archer Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 I'd think that most background characters seem more irrelevant that usual because most don't have any significant connections to the plotline imo. For example, the Asemu - Zeheart relationship seems very similar to Kira - Athrun relationship, and each character (Kira and Athrun) had very close buddies on each respective side (Nicol, Dearka, Tal, Mirialia), and each are introduced with some significance to the story (Tal is best friends with Kira, all of athrun's friends steal Gundams, etc.). In AGE, they just kinda throw most of the team together without very much relevance to the plot. At best, Romary is a plot device (not much more), and the other Adele pilots were kinda randomly introduced as well. If Asemu's buddies from high school became pilots with him, I'm sure I'd remember them more. See, most of AGE's background characters are like the guy who flys the archangel in seed (blue - haired guy). Nobody knows what his name is, but he's always been there.... Quote

Beltane70 Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 Desil got what he deserved. Flit didn't even have to lift a finger! Quote
