This is somewhat disappointing. It looks too childish to even be taken seriously. I knew they wouldn't do another UC-era show, since Unicorn still has 3 more OVAs in the works. But this seems more like an insult to long time fans with this kiddy-style design.

The only reason I can see them doing this is to try get more sales out of kids for the franchise. Maybe 00 wasn't as profitable as they hoped and decided to go with something for a younger audience to boost sales? Although I wish Sunrise the best(just so they stay in business), I won't bother with this and I'll just stick with Gundam Unicorn for now.

Gundam AGE? Why did I instantly think of Heroic Age? Oh, right, the god damn title.

Also, why does one of the kids look like he is holding a Digivice?

Considering how successful the franchise is (30+ years), I don't see why they should stop making more of it.

I wonder why I'm thinking they just look like that and in reality they'll be like, 15 y.o. and that'll put this show on the same level as Gundam Wing?.. (that probably won't make it any better but just saying~ )

Wait... it wasn't Crossbone? T_T

Daaaaaamn. Obviously a kid's show. Like Gundam ZZ first-half all over again.
The head Gundam looks okay. Though in the second scan, the red unit at the bottom center looks ugly as sin. Kinda like the lovechild of Bolt Gundam and something from Daigunder.

So much for that. But hey, at least Unicorn's still around the corner...

There I was awaiting a new series that would redeem the 00 Movie (which was a let down) and I get this, THIS ?!

All it needs now is a Gundaball and someone screameing: "AGE, I choose you !" >.>

A HUGE dissapointment !

Dam it Sunrise/Bandi...stop trolling us!! the 00 movie was enough. and we don't need any more SD Gundams....

the only words that can describe my thought on it is this "unleash the casey".

yea indeed now so going to why they did this characters great it kids show, design so no no no, why can't you go back to GS era roots,etc.

really should gone with female lead gundam pilot or return to GS era or gundam crossover to answer to DECADE & gokaiger but this oh GS era come back & SAVE us.

Can you hear that? That’s the sound of a thousand fanboys across the world crying in disappointment.
As kiddy as this new series looks, nothing can beat SD Gundam in being the worst Gundam franchise.

It's as if the Gundam Pilots get younger with the decade. in the original UC most pilots were at least of age, recently many pilots looked teenagers, and now we're into an even younger age.

Whyyyyy.

Furthermore, I hope this Gundam does not delay the Unicorn OVAs even more.


Amuro was 15. Uso Evin was 13. The OVA characters were old but the actual television series usually showed younger people.

I make no comment on this show yet.

If they can make it more fresh and different than the other gundam shows I'll give it a try. Too bad the story description doesnt give me a lot of hope.

....I feel betrayed Sunrise, hopefully it will be better than it looks. Because I honestly hope that what the kid is holding is a communication device and not "A GOD DAMN DIGI-VICE". I'll still give it a try....maybe it won't be as bad everyone is thinking. =/

Well I did want something new, but this looks like Digimon except with Gundams. Although I won't judge a book by its cover it might actually be good.

Even if it does bomb I still got Code Geass Gaiden to look forward to.

I'm assuming they plan to introduce the franchise to the newer generations, hoping they'll later get into the older Gundams and more money flows to Sunrise?

Well, at least it can't be worse than 00 can it ? It could even be a meaningful and complex anime disguised as a kids' show just like Victory (one of the best Gundams ever made) was. Let's wait and see.

Sunrise has lost it

Gundam is for the teens and adults, I want angst and brutal wars not this, this anime is such a let down from the start.

Isn't SD Gundam made for the younger audience, that's why it was created right, the whole formula belongs in the SD universe.

As I'm reading this I'm seeing complaints about "kids". I'm a Gundam Nut and I got bad news for all. ALMOST ALL GUNDAM SERIES, INCLUDING ALTERNATE UNIVERSES, THE PILOTS ARE KIDS. Wing, the orginal Gundam, ZZ, Zeta, Victory, Turn a, Unicorn, Seed and Seed Destiny, and X. All the main characters were 13 - 17 years old.A

I'm more worried how the story is going to turn out. From what I've read the story takes place over 100 years. If they cram that into a typical Gundam episode length, about 50 episodes, then ill be disappointed. This has the potential to be the longest Gundam series. That I wanna see.

Also it sounds like they stray from the normal Gundam story. Kid shows up, steals a Gundam or gets in the cockpit some how, his pilotiing skills are amazing, and the story goes from there.

I really hope this series is long, and that the story is written well, and maybe this could compete with the Universal Century.
