New Unspecified Gundam AGE Project Green Lit [News via AnimeNewsNetowrk]

New Unspecified Gundam AGE Project Green Lit!
On Friday, producer Masakazu Ogawa announced on the official Twitter account for Mobile Suit Gundam AGE that production on a new project featuring the characters Asemu Asuno and Zeheart Galette has "finally" been green-lit. Ogawa did not specify what kind of project it is, or even if it is anime.
In light of the announcement, designer Michinori Chiba drew a new sketch on a sheet with Japanese animation registration holes.
Ogawa had mused in September about a possible story focusing on the characters' days as students. In November 2012, Ogawa and Chiba released a rough sketch to the official Twitter account that was used to introduce the characters for a possible new project.
In the AGE anime, Asemu was the main character of the second generation with Zeheart as his antagonist. The television series premiered in October of 2011, and it ended on September 23, 2012, shortly before Ogawa mentioned the tentative plans.

    1. Age was not the worst Gundam anime ever, it's still ahead of destiny. at least it still seems to be involving Asemu an Zehart who were good in the second generation.

    2. Comparing it to Destiny does not help, if not the worst then probably the second worst, either way, it still will be one of the two worst gundam series, ever.

    3. I don't see why age is so bad, it's just for a younger audience.

    4. Age got hit from every angle possible before its release: Older fans hated it because of its character design, MS fans hated it because the suits looked weird, animation buffs hated it because it's not Unicorn budget, and UC fans hated it because it's not UC (lol). No matter which way you look at it, Age never stood a chance.

      Objectively speaking Age is not a horrible show (especially compared to all the moe/high school crap). It started out with good intentions and you can see that in late gen-1 and the beginning of gen-2. It's just the writer's lack of experience juggling different plot threads turned the final arc into a mess even by kids show standards.

    5. Well I'm thankful for age as it got me into gundam :D no matter how horrible it was to others, and like that guy said, it's for a younger audience.

      Delete
    6. Even for a kids show, its still pretty horrible.

    7. Sorry, AGE is a horrible show, i went in with a open mind, saw the first 3 episodes, then i saw the fourth, it was horrible. i saw the show with my 12 year old brother and he thought it was horrible aswell, nothing made sense, we saw all episodes and the show only kept getting worse, Gen 1 was bad, Gen 2 was ok, Gen 3 was good until they went to space, then the show flat out made no sense anymore.

      Hints at rivalty between Zeheart and Monkey Dude.

      The show is full of plotholes, bad execution, bad story, horrible character development (girls being vagina machines, nothing else), characters disregarded for no reason instead of being reused during the generation skips.

      Oh, and not to mention the most retarded " Evil " plan in all history.

    1. AGE haters are more annoying then the SEED and 00 fanboys combind

    2. Nah, Wing fanboys are the worst if only by sheer numbers

      Delete
    3. Wing fanboys are that bad?

      Delete
    4. Oh yeah, definitely! There's still a huge segment of fans who insist Wing is the best thing since sliced bread. Granted the community's cooled down quite a bit but you still see many Gundam-related articles/videos being bombarded with comments like "Gundam Wing is the best EVAR!"

      Delete
    5. Can't handle the truth? Gundam Wing is the best EVAR!

  5. why?! its not worth it!!!!
    I only watched the anime as it was part of the Gundam franchise and damn I was disappointed
    Why work more on this awful series?!?

  6. This has been announced year ago, with the exact same word.

  7. Who knows this time they might just make a series good out of Gundam Age.

    1. what you are saying is impossible. the first three are shit, and you say the latest will suddenly will be good? Even if they make a good one, the first three left a really bad impression on lots of people out there.

      Delete
    2. What is Age-fag?

      Delete
    3. That would only be possible if they change half of this AU's history with this new project.

      Delete
  8. What Age needs most is better writing. Get a more experienced writer to do the script and we get a good series/manga/whatever.

    But yeah I do question Bandai's logic of continuing one of their worst commercial failures. Then again it was their idea to turn something which should have been a video game into an anime. Just goes to show some corporate executives have no idea what they're doing or too blinded by their ego.

  9. no wonder they say that the gundam fanbase is the worst. People bashing everything that is not of their favourite series, and creating flame wars of hate and what not on things we are here just to enjoy. So you all, shut your traps and enjoy what was put out! What a shame that the fans of a show that promotes peace and harmony is the drive for hate wars like this.

    1. People go way to far to just bash series they don't like. If you didn't like Gundam Age don't watch this new one when is it comes out. It's not necessary for people to get bratty just because you don't like something. You give rational Gundam Fans a bad name.

      Delete
    2. Totally agree. i quit watching gundam AGE during the kio arc cos i don't really like it, but i keep my comments to myself instead of bashing the anime in places like here. please be more mature and think before you guys start commenting anywhere. it will help the community better! =)

  10. This is actually pretty exciting news.

    1. they now have more time to release the rest of the Age MG's
    - Age-1 Gransa
    - Age-2 Normal Special Forces
    - Age-2 Double Bullet
    - Age-3 Normal
    - Age-3 Orbital
    - Age-3 Fortress
    - Age-FX
    - Age-FX Burst

    b. they can finally expand on the story
    - i suspect we're gonna see some more story on Asem and what he was doing from when he left Kio to when he made his reappearance as the Bisidian leader

    1. So, this is not a wishlist anymore? You just decide what MGs need to be made now? I swear, all the crap out of your mouth is either complaints about trivial nitpicky stuff like stickers or what MGs you, in all your greatness, decide that need to be made. And you just run with it and repeat ad nauseum until ppl kick you of every place just because they can't stand you anymore and because said places actually become better places after you're gone You're just an obsessive box buyer, that knows ZERO about what gunpla or gundam really means, and buy kits because that somehow makes you feel important, and even goes to the point of calling people jealous and blame the hatred you get on jealousy. You should be ashamed of yourself
      P.S: Now go ahead and play the victim, correct my spelling, make some attempt at humour or be generally arrogant like you always are, just adds to your shame

    2. I hope i can see an MG 1/100 Suitonfag with a pathetic coatin resin kit and fag fx shit burst mode add on

      Delete
    3. Oh god please shut up already Suiton. Your lists are downright inane, annoying, and unneeded. And for all your blather about what kits they should do you don't even cover brand new suits that never got kits, like the Khronos and whatever the hell Fram piloted in the last few episodes. They deserve kits more than crap like Age2 Special Forces Custom, which you could have already if you spent less time whining on this blog and more time learning how to paint, which would also produce better looking kits as well.

      Delete
    4. Lol they should release MG Gurdolin just for you suiton.

      Delete
    5. Expanding Asemu's story from G2 to G3 is called Memories of Sid Suiton. I know Hino wanted to expand Asemu and Zeheart's school days, so if that is what this is, then its going to be so boring

    2. Actually Flit's genocidal purge between 2nd and 3rd gen was exactly that.

  13. Suiton, how does it feel to be the most hated person in the gunpla community?

  14. If we get a HG Kronos out this I'm game

  15. AGE has already score a new low than Gundam X, are there any redemptions in this one?

    1. Yes, they are called: Flit Asuno, Woolf Enneacle and Grodek Ainoa.

      Delete
    2. Woolf is clearly to manly for this series, and Grodek's manliness clearly make G1 shine.

  16. I think the second arc was the best of the show. Shame it had all those time skips so it would fit in with the other arcs. This is probably going to be a manga thing or very unlikely a OVA short. No way this is some new series. Age ended, time to more on to something else. #reasonablecomment

  17. This hasn't even come out yet and people are already beginning to hate.. it may be a lot better or it may still be "bad" like the ending of the series.. we don't know yet..

    ReplyDelete
  18. I liked the 2nd Age arc a lot... I'd love to see more supa piloto so I won't mind whatever they give us...

    just as long as they don't ruin it... :3

    ReplyDelete
  19. Instead of Asemu, I wish they did Flit between gen 1 and gen 2. Flit was so incredibly badass at the end of 1st gen I want to see him in his prime as a soldier piloting the Age-1 Razor (seriously that thing needs to be animated!).
