How would you guys improve AGE, while at least loosely staying true to the core ideas of the show? I know a lot of people think Flit just straight up being the final boss would have been a lot better, though having Kio or Asemu fight him would probably feel forced.

I know a lot of people think Flit just straight up being the final boss would have been a lot better, though having Kio or Asemu fight him would probably feel forced. Very simple actually: Part 1: The core concept is fine. It needs some better writing but the core arc is strong. Intentionally mimic the Amuro arc but have it end badly and we witness effectively an Amuro who joins the Titans. Part 2: Again, the core concept is strong. Focus on the friendship between Asemu and Zeheart and better flesh out the Vagans. Emphasize that the Vagans are acting out of a mix of legitimate religious belief and actual need. Possibly play up the idea that X-Rounders are dangerous that AGE waved its hand at. Play up Flit's downfall. Don't go full evil, have him be somewhat on-par with Asemu but have it end with a real split between Flit's "all Vagans are evil" viewpoint and Asemu's "peace can be found and not all Vagans are evil." Part 3: Play up the idea that Kio is being manipulated by Flit after Asemu vanishes. Flit is effectively trying to create his own Amuro who hates the Vagans just as much as he does. Asemu is forced away and unable to return because he's trying to stop the way from going completely Space-Nuclear. Play up the idea of Zeheart in a leader role and have him eventually form his own splinter faction of Vagans after the realization that he is being manipulated and used. Final Arc: Flit Asuno is going to nuke Vagan, Vagan is going for their final attack, Asemu, Zeheart and the Diva faction are all struggling to stop this war from going completely nuclear and obligating everyone. Rather than Flit getting last-minute redeemed it either is Kio's final victory or Flit must be stopped and we effectively get a dramatic Age vs Age battle to finish the show.

Put a Gundam skin on a Danball Senki skeleton. But first remove the robot tournament bones and replace them with more assassination attempts and vehicular manslaughter.

It was absolutely ridiculous. On the other hand, I do wonder sometimes if Captain Anus was an honest mistake.

No Gundam character name will ever approach the magnificence that is South Burning. Hank Hercules strove for those rarefied heights, but fell sadly short. Also, he turned out to be a hoax.

I'm in the middle of episode 15 of G. Reco and I'm not sure if the subs are mistaken. It's saying that the Dorrette family wanted to teach Earth how to make photon batteries, while the Rayhuntons did not. But then it doesn't make sense to me why Dorrette is intercepting the Earth's space fleet, and Rayhunton survivors are hiding on Earth.

The Dorettes want to return to Earth and to do so without it being lovely they need ready supplies of Photon Batteries. However the end result of that is a breaking of the Photon Power monopoly and a resurgence of war. The Rayhuntons wanted to avoid that. (At least from what I recall.) It's basically worth remembering that every single faction in G-Reco is maneuvering so they end up on top but not all of them have goals which are inherently opposed.

I want a crossover event where the Gundam characters with the most ridiculous names fight the most useless Gundam characters to be deemed the number 1 Gundam misfit. 0079 Hayato and Wufei team up to create an alliance that includes stars like S2 Alleujah, Argo Gulskii, Destiny-era Cagalli, Dorel Ronah, Kou, and Reccoa to fight Bask Om, South Burning, Cronicle Asher, Kid Salsamille, Bork Cry, Zeon Zum Deikun, Bright Noa, Mouar Pharaoh, and the other Gundam characters with ridiculous name closeted republican fucked around with this message at 05:08 on Dec 10, 2015 |

Replace Reccoa with Fa. I actually like Reccoa but apart from that, Fa fits the bill better because it's actually part of her character arc that she's useless at fighting.

The last Volume of Gundam: The Origin hit today. It covers the end of the series as well as three mini-stories. One covers the birth of Char and the other two are post-war stories about the White Base crew. It's a solid ending overall. It absolutely ends as if The Origin was a self-contained thing. There's no sequelbaiting for Zeta and the Amuro-based post-war story ends with him going to rebuild Side 7 so you can argue it actually sets itself in a position where Zeta Gundam can't happen. It makes a pretty good self-contained read from start to finish and is probably the definitive version of the story. Also, uh, I guess nobody knew this in the US but the postscript from the last volume of The Origin flat-out states they're making an OAV that only covers the flashback arc! Also I might as well translate this line from the author: "One of the biggest misunderstandings was this reading that OLdtypes are a no-good bunch who need to be supplanted by a NEwtype generation adapated to the space age. That was the Aum cult's view too. The Gundam story isn't about that - it's a story, through and through, about desperation. People can't, they can't understand one another. They can't, but how great would it be if they could? Let's hold onto that hope. That's what the story is and Newtypes are that hope. "Evern so, people will still end up hurting each other. The sorrow of the human condition..." but also in the end you can return to your buddies because, after all, nobody can survive alone. Although that line's become a cliche." I will say that the idea that Newtypes can come across as being like the Aum Shinrikyo really puts an interesting spin on the entire concept that I don't think would instantly come across to an American viewer, but probably explains a lot.

I have little doubt that they will eventually do more Origin stuff. It makes money selling toys, so they'll do it.
