Dred Cosmonaut posted:The G gundam dub is great, do not be ashamed That explains why Amuro and Char have different voices in it vs. MSG\CCA, but still say "I'm sorey aboat this, but I need to hurry oatside." Speaking about different voices, anybody else here have the old VHS dub of the movie trilogy? They took the dub off DVD releases, it seems. Bright is British, Char is Steve Blum, and they pronounce it "Gundamn". I dunno when that dub came out, but I think it's really old and predates Gundam Wing airing on Toonami. I got the move trilogy and 0080 on VHS at about that time.

I think those old Gundam movies dubs are sort of awesome, by the way. Yeah, they're not super great, but those and Wing were my introduction to the franchise and British Bright is the Best Bright. Also, Steve Blum makes a good Char. I mean yeah, he has the same voice in almost everything and he's in everything, but he's a really good fit for Char!Dred Cosmonaut posted:Thats Neo-Kenya.

You'd think Sunrise would only use the best of the best art talent for its flagship property, but you'd be wrong apparently. God drat that was one ugly show.

Most if not all other Gundam shows have visual design slash art issues ranging from "unfortunate" to "Jesus Jumped-up Christ," but none have poo poo directly into my eyes to quite the degree that AGE has. The fact that all that awful art was made and approved by supposed professionals blows my mind a little bit. Even the sure-to-be-crap Build Fighters merely looks competently generic, which would be a big step up from whatever the gently caress AGE was.

Looking at AGE stuff just makes me sad about how good a show about Asemu's attempts to live up to his father's legacy could be if it didn't have like any of the staff AGE had. There's a nugget of potential buried deep in there. Kio was a lost cause from the start.

Asemu's basic concept is frustrating because it is exactly the way you can do a Gundam-like show with a distinctive plot and they pissed it all down their leg. With good writers it could have been a good basic concept and instead... nope.

AGE in general had a lot of potential, it was all just utterly squandered. The concept of a multi-generational show that charts the course of a century long war through the viewpoint of a single family is great, it's just that the execution fell utterly flat.

Remember when those leaked "spoilers" came out ages ago saying that the Vagans were actually humans from 100 years in the future who traveled back in time to "prepare" humanity for an alien invasion? Remember how loving retarded that sounded? I wish we got that. EDIT: found them quote:Major design docs for Gundam AGE were PURPORTEDLY leaked by a disgruntled Level 5 staff member to 2ch, and they contain some substantial information about the identity of the UE.

If they actually did it better, it would have been really cool to see Flit go from an idealistic kid to a bitter old man. We usually don't see gundam protagonists in their later life, so it's interesting to see how they would be affected from their experiences. But of course, they had to gently caress it all up by suddenly turning him into the angry guy and then give him the most idiotic about-face in gundam history.

Speaking of missed opportunities after flit turned into a crazy space racist that purged the government he doesnt go on to be the shows final villian and infact instead gets a happy ending. Oh well, a conflict that boiled down to the old verses the young would have been out of place in a gundam show anyway.

The concept of a multi-generational show that charts the course of a century long war through the viewpoint of a single family is great, it's just that the execution fell utterly flat. That's what really burns my biscuits about AGE: the basic premise of war's effect on three generations of a single family is a fantastic one on paper, and could have been something really fresh and compelling in competent hands, but now that it's been done I doubt they'll ever revisit the concept. It feels like a much greater waste than a "buy our playsets and toys" deal like GBF does. Then again, they've twice gone down the road of "what if the Gundams were terrorists?" and one of them almost didn't suck. Still, it kills me a little to think of what Tomino might have done with the idea (and I'm surprised he didn't think of it first, really).

The first time they did the terrorist Gundams thing it was a resounding success, so we're not likely to see anything remotely resembling Age again, for good or ill. On the plus side I bet the people responsible will never touch a Gundam series again.

I also have always thought it would be interesting to see a older gundam protagonist like in their 40s as well as seeing the effects on someone who had been fighting for decades in a gundam. It'll never happen.
