Looking back, I don't think Flit's kill 'em all attitude would have subside if he had personally killed Desil who was the prime reason Yurin died, all things considered it'd jus bet a bandaid on a larger problem and that was the entire Vagan mission itself, if they weren't overtly attacking they were covertly destabilizing earth through sneakier methods.

People that don't like AGE are the ones that just don't get the series and how the entire show is an allegory of the current (at the time) state of the Gundam franchise.

>Flit is a representation of the old Gundam fan that refuses to accept the newer shows. The Age-1 is a design similar to the RX-78, and represents the UC timeline. Flit refuses to use use any machine beside this one, opting instead to polish it up and add new components like the Granza parts, these are meant to be the UC OVAs.
>The Vegans are the future of the franchise, a mix of dragons (old) with robots (new) to create something original and great.
>Kio is the younger Gundam fan, unburdened by past experiences with the franchise and having no ideas or expectations of what Gundam "should be".

Feel free to share. I've read Destiny's which was quite interesting, but the first time I've heard anything about AGE's production nightmares
>>
>>14083461

The only ones I've heard are that Hino didn't show up for a lot of meetings despite being the head writer, that he wrote it like a game (including not bothering to explain how enemies got places because he thought audiences would enjoy coming up with their own explanations) and that he didn't listen to the staff on some stuff, like the female staff thinking Yurin appearing to Flit at the end was shit.

In all honesty aside from the Fardain slums episode, all of AGE-2 aside from the first and second to last episode, Shanalua taking the bag full of gold coins episode and the couple ones of Girard Spriggan nonsense, I really enjoyed AGE. IBO was just awful on every level and the worst part being that its second season will likely be so bad the first one will seem acceptable in comparison.

Hmmm...interesting idea.
But then, by this logic, how do you reconcile things like Zeheart - whose entire Gen 3 arc is basically getting everyone under him killed and essentially fucking up the entire Vegan operation before he finally snaps and gets himself brutally slaughtered by the 'western Gundam fan'?
Or Zera Gins, who literally comes out of nowhere to be the new face of Vegans after Zeheart finally gets killed?
and how does your interpretation fit the EXA-DB and SID?
and how are we, in this model, to read the fact that Kio's attempts to reach out to his enemies are more often than not thrown back in his face? Are you suggesting the future of Gundam is to tell the younger audiences to piss off because they don't know what they're talking about? Cause that's sure as Hell what the show is getting at.

Overall the second gen is probably the worst for the overall plot, even if it is more enjoyable than the third.

The thing that gets me is how people start bringing up questions about the Vagan in the 3rd gen that hadn't been mentioned since the 1st gen, like it hadn't been 50 years or something.
>>
>>14089514
>I did enjoy how Asemu did absolutely nothing
Asemu's whole character is to be nothing while doing nothing because the writers had no idea what to do with him aside from the gimmicks "SUPER PILOT" and "PIRATE CAPTAIN". The only point of his character is to father Kio, not spend a single day rising him and his only advice to him being "do as you feel like, son".

>>
>>14090922
There's a lot of boring talk and characters saying the same thing over and over. Honestly, you could probably skip every episode without any robots fight (wich is almost half of the show) and you shouldn't miss anyhting.
>>
>>14090922
Boring as fuck, full of quality.
>>
>>14090922
We love the mace and Atra is indeed cute. However, most, including me, are worn out from arguing about that stupid show for nearly 28 weeks straight and everyone just really wants to forget about it. It was confirmed for a Part 2 later on though so we'll have another fun 6 months of constant shitposting and flooding the board with identical threads, lucky us. Check the archives for "what went wrong" and you'll find everybody's opinions on it if you don't mind completely being spoiled.

Abridged version: The show set up some really great concepts and ideas in the first three episodes. However, instead of expanding upon those great ideas, it abandons them and exacerbates the flaws that people were willing to temporarily overlook. The show feels like filler for 20 episode because nobody develops until the last 5 episodes. Not even fun filler either, it's constant re-exposition of well-known facts, a few REALLY hamfisted drama parts, terribly animated battles (despite having less than half the number that normal Gundam series do), throwing away the "junkyard scrap" feeling the Gundam had at first by giving it awful-looking upgrades, replacing the mace with a lame katana, absolute bullshit plot conveniences, and just generally being boring. The show started remembering the cooler parts at the end but they only had time to develop a little before the finale and they still get sidelined so the show could focus on continuing its errors.

However, /m/ is a fairly cynical place. Although the show was unarguably mediocre and almost certainly bad, you can still find some parts to enjoy. This does not mean that the quality of the show is any different, though, so don't confuse objective with subjective.

All in all, since a large portion of /m/ is contractually obligated to sit through every Gundam series, we turned what should have been a no-name forgotten title into a shitposting frenzy. Deserved, but unnecessary.
>>
>>14089536
>Asemu's whole character is to be nothing while doing nothing because the writers had no idea what to do with him aside from the gimmicks "SUPER PILOT" and "PIRATE CAPTAIN"

His relationship with Zeheart was what made him important. He was also used to explain how a dirt poor colony managed to produce advanced weapons.

He also served as a middle ground in ideologies between Flit and Kio.

It would have been difficult to visit his son when he was a pirate.
>>
>>14091011
>worn out from arguing
>let the hate flood back in anyway
Sorry, I initially intended it to be short. I wouldn't even have really cared about the show by now if /a/ didn't come here and fan the flames for the last few weeks, that was absurd and got everybody way too riled up when before we were just discontent and complaining. Having to explain those stupid arguments over and over gave it a lasting impression.

Anyway I wanted to post Atra so here she is. She's cute but like almost every other character she is nothing beyond that one-word description. Really a shame.

Too bad that didn't have much of a resolution since towards the end it's really down to Kio and ghost Yurin telling Flit he can stop murdering Vagan scum now.

>He also served as a middle ground in ideologies between Flit and Kio.
Too bad he didn't mediate shit so his middle ground position didn't do much in the end.

>when he was a pirate.
That seems like it should have been an arc on its own. Maybe then we can actually see him serving as the middle ground in ideologies, or at least see how his mindset differs from Flit which led to him becoming space pirate.
>>
>>14092594
>Too bad that didn't have much of a resolution since towards the end it's really down to Kio and ghost Yurin telling Flit he can stop murdering Vagan scum now.
Zeheart went off the deep end there wasn't any saving him at that point.

He ended up killing Zeheart. It completed the rivalry Asemu had with x rounder abilities.

Zeheart was impressed that Asemu was able to overcome the x rounder abilities the Vagan had faith in and told Asemu was better off even if he didn't have the same abilities because he got to have a life .

They wrapped up their relationship.

>Too bad he didn't mediate shit so his middle ground position didn't do much in the end.

Flit and Asemu always had a tenuous relationship. Flit seemed a lot closer to Kio.

>That seems like it should have been an arc on its own. Maybe then we can actually see him serving as the middle ground in ideologies, or at least see how his mindset differs from Flit which led to him becoming space pirate.

Flit always had a lot more of a hate boner for Vagan than Asemu. The difference in mindset varied in the want to commit genocide. They were constantly at odds during Asemu's arc.

There wasn't time in the show and they probably wanted his appearance to be a surprise.

It was mentioned in the show what he was doing and why.

Correction - SHOULD have been what made him important. Had the series not then decided to double-back to making all the Vagans into murderous psychopaths as soon as Gen 3 started.

I don't know if it was because they didn't have the guts to really stick to making Flit a fallen hero or if Hino just isn't that good with doing nuanced antagonists, but for as much as this series talked about the Vagans not being that bad, it couldn't stick to a consistent attempt at humanizing them to save its life.

Well there's the problem that he's wrong. Somethingswful's anime forum generally likes and defends it too going by the Gundam thread. He might not like that forum, but that doesn't mean it doesn't defend G-Reco, making him factually incorrect.

The vagan was never supposed to make sense. The bad part is that the vagan were willingly taking part of this nonsense because their butthurt blinded them from common sense.
>>
>>14092987
The majority of the series portrays them as fanatical and remorseless monsters, even what little we see of the civilians.

Then towards the end of the series we see second moon more in depth and we see the sick little girl and other sick population but it is just too little too late to make the audience care after everything else we've seen.

The leader's secret master plan also makes no damn sense. He wants to create a peaceful utopia by creating a massive war that all the violent people die off in leaving only peaceful people who dislike war behind to repopulate. He starts this plan by launching an attack on a society that had been war free and relatively peaceful for a century. And even then it took like a decade for them to start actively fighting back and seriously arming up at all because they were so not used to war that they had sealed away all their dangerous technology and their best weapon was a worker unit armed with the beam equivalent of a bb gun. They also had to exacerbate small conflicts to try and stir up enough unrest and violence (the gangs). And the hypocrisy of the whole "Give them a chance to fight back" thing is ludicrous. They attacked colonies and civilian centers with machines so advanced that literally nothing the army threw at them could harm them, and when some of their ms were destroyed they immediately bring in a not!-Nuke and ace pilots to sink the colony and destroy the opposition in an overwhelming display of power.


The icing on the cake though was that according to the show the disease/cancer thing is from sitting in radiation coming off of mars. All through the series people in the threads were asking why didn't they just build ships or colonies to move the population away from the mars rays instead building big warships and ms. And then at the end it turns out that they could have just moved the colony the whole damn time.

They were one of the most poorly thought out and executed villains in gundam.
>>
>>14093052
On a positive note, Flit wanting to genocide every last one of them was justified. Vegans are scum.
>>
>>14093052

I thought the icing on the cake was the leader and origin of all this madness dying in his bed with a smile while his wife looks on as he goes peacefully as he hopes the 3rd Gen's main character fulfills his dreams while all his subordinates died horribly in battle for his revenge?
>>
>>14091070
Well, considering the show's reception in Japan it's not outside the realm of possibility.

>>14091011

Not to mention, as much as people go on about how this show is really about the politics, the politics shown are poorly written. There are so many holes in it's logic that anyone with half a brain should be able to dismantle Kudelia's arguments but no one can because she's so AWESOME!

And let's not forget how the show lulls people into thinking Tekkadan are a bunch of normal, yet impoverished, kids through it's middle arc. That Biscuit dies and we see them as fucked up because they adopt this cult-like mentality as they seek revenge. "If we die, our deaths will make Tekkadan stronger." Seems like a portrayal of child soldiers that works, right? That they are damaged individuals. Then they throw it away with the finale with "They can return to being children."

Setsuna has to be there in SRW when they start this bullshit.

If the whole MUH KUNTALA thing and "YOU'RE GONNA BE A DICTATOR BELLRI SO EVEN THOUGH WE'RE FRIENDS PLEASE DIE OKAY" thing wasn't so stupid and incomprehensible it would have been pretty alright. And if the main Venusian villain didn't die right after showing up.

>>
>>14095014
It really was.
>>
>>14095014
It had a better story and more mecha action.

that's funny.

Genocide Flit was best Flit.

it and turn-a are the only ones close to being as good as 0079

>>14100566
X wasn't very good.

you're not very good.

>And let's not forget how the show lulls people into thinking Tekkadan are a bunch of normal, yet impoverished, kids through it's middle arc. That Biscuit dies and we see them as fucked up because they adopt this cult-like mentality as they seek revenge. "If we die, our deaths will make Tekkadan stronger." Seems like a portrayal of child soldiers that works, right? That they are damaged individuals. Then they throw it away with the finale with "They can return to being children."

TFW when we were this close to getting Now and Then, Here and There with Gundams.

X is underrated as fuck.

Try is probably going to go down in history as the absolute nadir of Gundam.

Destiny, AGE, and IBO are all severely flawed, but at the very least they had nice concepts and you could see that the staff was aiming high. Meanwhile Try aimed to just be a generic Shonen tournament toy advertisement anime, a genre that Japan has down to a science at this point, and it couldn't even achieve that.
>>
>>14100781
The problem here is in what regard are we judging the nadir?

If we go on success and reception, a show that aimed high - like AGE giving us estimated sales before we knew much about what it was even about - and failed hard at meeting those numbers would arguably be seen as a bigger miss than a show that was part of a side project that Bandai only expected to do okay and rushed out its sequel in a bout of 'strike while the iron's hot' planning.

As a story, of course.

Is SID (the subber, not the EXA-DB guardian) is still working on Memory of Eden? Because after some time, my HD got corrupted and the AGE 720p subs folder is unreadable now. I tracked the original thread, but only the first arc has a working Mega.nz link working.
>>
>>14100781
I enjoyed Try more than 3/4 of the Gundam borefests out there.

>a generic Shonen tournament toy advertisement anime
Which is probably why it was so much fun to watch.
>>
>>14100846
12 episodes left to V2 for the TV show, then Memories of Eden. Captain Earth coming soon.

Not the guy you're responding to, but just so long as you aren't going to go with the 'At least Gundam's honest with its self' now argument that has been getting trotted out regarding the BF line, I say more power to you if that's what's doing it for you.
>>
>>14100862
What a relief. Thank you.

If you want to read into AGE, like a lot of Gundam shows, it's very critical of Japan. Vegans don't make sense because they're victims. Their victim complex is so strong that anything seems justified, even Ezelcant's retarded plot about using war to force natural selection. As outsiders, it's really easy to criticize them because everything seems retarded in hindsight. You can blame the lack of exposition on this subject on the writers though. They didn't want to make a more adult themed show that actually addresses war and victimization.
>>
>>14100989
>In hindsight

Their actions seemed retarded the moment they were explained and shown.
>>
>>14100727
Instead, we got the Gundam equivalent of that Wonder Woman Pilot from a few years back. You know, the one where Wondy breaks more laws than the criminals, tortures a guy she put in the hospital, and everyone treats her like she's the greatest thing ever?
>>
>>14100800
We did not have sales projections before it aired. That chart that always gets posted describes rate of HG releases, not projected sales.
>>
>>14100851
You should watch more Shonen tournament anime if you thought Try was any good.

The genre is pretty fun in general, and has hit the point where they just make fun of themselves now because even they realize it's ridiculous. I would recommend it!
>>
>>14082034
Parts 1 and 2 were all right, it wasn't til part 3 it became unbearable. And even with part 3's horribleness, still better than SEED Destiny and the first half of ZZ.

should watch more trios wrestling too

Part 2 is absolutely putrid AND irrelevant.
