When do we finally admit this was not a bad series or at least

>>15475387
It was okay. Had it's problems, for example the final arc felt pretty rushed, but overall I enjoyed it.

>>15475387
Never, because it's legitimately the worst Gundam show I've ever seen and it's liable to remain that way for a very long time. Whether it's worse than Destiny or not is purely a matter of what your priorities for what makes a bad show are. I prioritize the coherency of the story, which makes AGE the absolute lowest of all. So much of what's wrong with it is the result of Hino absolutely not giving a shit about the quality of his work, and while Destiny has a bit of that as well, AGE is far, far worse about it.

Great. Now use this copypasta for IBO, so I can confirm you're just shitposting.

>>15475468
Not copypasta. If you want me to go into detail, then here we go:

The biggest consistent problem with AGE is that the setting basically doesn't exist. Places are created as they're needed and discarded once they're done serving their purpose, having no sense of how they interconnect with each other or inform the setting as a whole. Asem and company spend a fair chunk of time in Gen 2 at some sort of space colony, but I couldn't tell you the first thing about it. Kio goes to a desert near the start of Gen 3, but it's not really clear where that desert is or why they're there other than awkwardly apeing the 0079 travel arc. The only location that really stands out is Fardain, which stands out because it's so incredibly stupid and they spend a bunch of episodes there. Even then, once Gen 1 is over that's the last we ever hear from Fardain.

Characters are the same way. Only a tiny handful of characters make it out of their starting generation to have any impact on the next. Most just up and vanish, sometimes getting replaced by descendants that don't really have much of anything to do with their ancestor or inform their ancestor's character in any way. The love interests just get flatter and flatter with each passing gen: the first one at least does a few things, the second one is only relevant in the first few episodes, and I don't even remember what the third one looks like. She was another blonde, I think?

Plot points appear and disappear. They make a big deal out of the brain damage helmet and then it vanishes and we never hear about it again. Gen 2 ends with Flit doing a hostile takeover of the government, effectively declaring himself King of Earth, so he can purge all the Vegan sympathizers. Literally in the next episode Flit is a doddering old man nobody listens to, except for one admiral who likes him for some reason we never really hear about, and the Federation is full of Vegan sympathizers again. He was fucking King of Earth!

>>15475503
Let's talk everyone's favorite moment, the super pilot scene. Everyone gets their huge fucking Oldtype boner going when Asem suddenly starts beating X-Rounders through pure skill. And I get it. The Double Bullet's a great-looking suit with giant beam sabers that slice shit up, it's dual-wielding guns, it's a nice machine. I've got two kits of it I like it so much. But the scene itself is the laziest possible execution of that Oldtype circlejerk. The dozen or so X-Rounders just suddenly can't sense what Asem's doing. He's not doing anything differently other than swinging his giant beam swords around, but now their psychic powers just stop working on him so he can carve them all up effortlessly. Doesn't matter anyway, we don't know who any of those Vegan guys were anyway. I think about half of them get names, and I don't think they were even involved in a battle before the one where they die.

Notice how I'm barely even touching Gen 3. Gen 3 is the part everyone hates about AGE and I don't even need to bring up the problems specific to it. AGE really is a lemon, a disaster from start to finish.

>>15475515
Technically it's Gen 4 people hate. You know the very tail end of the series

Flit did nothing wrong.

>>15475387
The moment it stops being false, so never.

S1 and S2 would be passable as a show on their own. S3 is literally worse than Destiny. I would actually much rather watch Shinn yell at Kira about his sister than see that whiny fag Kio cry about having to kill terrorists.

>>15475537
>IBO is so forgettable and lukewarm it didn't even spawn a meme half as good as this

>>15475387
AGE is the Gundam franchises pleb filter. There's always going to be a majority of people that hate it, whether it's because they blindly believe the meme that its bad or because people like >>15475503 can't grasp the idea that it was meant to be a fun show rather than MUH GRIT AND REALISM.

Age is only bad in the sense that its a horrible sum up of UC and AU plots mixed into a kiddy series.

>>15475387
Based on production values alone AGE was better than 2 of the other gundam tv series we had this decade.

>>15475650

> any of >>15475503 or >>15475515
> muh grit or muh realism

>>15475691
Wouldn't Unicorn TV have higher production values since it's just the OVA edited into 20 minute chunks?

How badly has this board's taste been assraped by IBO and G-Reco that it will stoop down to defending AGE of all things.

At least have the sense to argue the merits of something that's only 50-60% trash, like 00.

>>15475758
VF-Kun probably rubbed off on them, too.

AGE is probably my favorite bad anime. I know people get up in arms about viewers watching something ironically, but I never felt that was the case when I watched this show as it became a comedic parody of the entire franchise to me. I watched AGE because I wanted to have a good laugh. I had fun with AGE and genuinely enjoyed it, though admittedly not in the ways the creators intended.

I mean, you have Flit looking like an elementary schooler going on in class about how the aliens are going to attack their colony next. He's looking like a complete nutter, meanwhile he's the one building the freaking Gundam. It just blows my freaking mind, and the create a psychotic toddler to fight against him and I continue to break down. Urine and Capt Anus, pilot suits that look like Zeon designs, Vagan pilot suits with freaking mittens.

I love AGE. Fucking release it already Rightstuff.

Yeah but that's cheating since it's not an actual TV show
It's an OVA edited to fit in a TV schedule

AGE was shit

>>15476400
Yeah, but Zeta was worse

>>15475758
AGE is better than Zeta though

>>15475553
Probably because the people watching IBO were too triggered and complaining about chocolate pedophile, the masked man who did nothing and plot armor to actually make a shit show fun

>>15475466
That's not Zeta

Part 1 was meh until the end game
Part 2 was great, having a mc that didn't rely on space psychic powers was a breath of fresh air.
Part 3 started ou okay and then went into complete insane bullshit mode after whatshisface got captured by the enemy. IF YOU COULD MOVE THE COLONY THE WHOLE TIME WHY NOT MOVE IT AWAY FROM THE CANCER RAYS!!??

This is pretty much it. It's certainly better looking than Destiny and has some great fights vs Destiny's 3 fights of stock footage mixed together.

But the story is even worse.

>>15475515
They couldn't read him because he wasn't thinking, dumbass. He was going full autist rage, Pre-Newtype Amuro on their asses.

Nope, it was pretty bad.

>>15476499
The story is not as bad as Zeta's

>>15475758
It was a great action anime which is all I really expect from a gundam really.

>>15476512

X-Rounders aren't telepaths. They don't read someone's thoughts and determine what they'll do using telepathy, they have heightened instincts and precognition. Whether someone is planning an action or not doesn't matter to precognition, because you're sensing what they'll do, not what they're thinking about doing. When Zeheart senses Flit in the AGE-3 he doesn't sense his thoughts and identify him by his thoughts, he just senses a presence and is sure it's Flit because of the feeling it gives him. Whenever people are fighting and anticipate something is about to happen they get a not-newtype flash that alerts them to move, not sense someone's thoughts and act upon those thoughts.

>>15478130

I'm pretty sure instincts and precognition don't help against someone going retard, and he went full retard. It's like a martial artist getting their ass kicked by an angry Forest Gump.

>>15475650
>that it was meant to be a fun show rather than MUH GRIT AND REALISM.
Are you describing GBF?

>>15478141

So you think someone's instincts and senses would become notably worse because the other person was angry? That Bruce Lee would get his ass kicked by Forest Gump because Forest was angry?

>>15478156
A master doesn't fear a student, a master fears the unknown.

>>15478941

Untrained is not synonymous with unknown. Neither is angry for that matter.

>>15475387
>not a bad series
Keep dreaming.
>nowhere near as bad as Destiny
Perhaps.

>>15476512

But when he fights Zeheart, he's not notably angry or pissed off. He also fights other X-Rounds in a fairly normal state.

There's no consistency in why they can't predict his actions. He's not attacking in a blind fury, and isn't visibly doing anything else.

>>15479463
Of course Zeheart can't read him, he's too busy being homolust.

>>15475387
Bless all its mecha porn.

>>15475387
Destiny was awesome and better than Age, fake fan.

Age should've at least been 150 episodes, splitting each generation into a fifty episode series.
