Please give me some of your thought of Gundam AGE. I had only seen the first episode and really don't like it. Because of few things:
1. The story, plot, and character (seems) childish and uninteresting
2. The AGE 1 design is bland and lame
3. I don't really like Flint (based on the episode one)

However, recently that I heard that the main character will change (probably to Asem Asuno) and the new Gundams, the awesome 00Raiser-ish AGE 2 and AGE 3 make me really want to watch this series.

What I want to ask is, is the plot, development, and character good/ interesting? Is there any politics? Are all the pilot kids, or it's just Flint? Will there any cool unpredictable deaths although some people said this is a show for kids?

I want to know the objective opinion from Gundam fans (at least tell me you have watched Seed, 00, and Unicorn, but it's even better if you've watched The Universal Century saga or Wing). Please refrain from irrational fanboyism & hate.

Thank you very much :D

Oh boy here we go again, somebody asking opinion from Gundam "fans" on MAL:

Why you need anyone to convince you to watch a show when it's all depend on personal taste.

This. Its not that bad as everyone says or the 6.60 rating, but since the new generation is supposed to start on the 29th at least watch the first 13 or 14 episodes and if you like it continue it and if you don't then drop it as simple as that.

Cause all your going to get in here is whining and screaming "Gundam fans" telling you its complete shit when they haven't gotten past episode 1 or just watched the trailer.

Watch it for yourself and be your own judge don't let someone else muddle your opinion or you could be missing out on a good story cause of some butthurts that hate it cause of the character designs.

The first Gundam was that too, and Strike Gundam without any Striker Pack was boring too. I like it better that way, cuz I dont like overpowered Suits for the beginning.

- For politics,the ever familiar "Earth Federation" is mentioned. There is EUBA and their rivals. Alliances are made. It's pretty simplistic. So far, it's all about payback, fighting evil, destruction.

- The childish art accentuated the characters IMO. But gosh, I think it makes the chars look very young. Largan is like 28, and Flit and Yurin are 15. Also, you might get annoyed by Wolf's ear-like hairstyle. Don't let the art take the show though.

- With the mention of Largan, no not all the pilots are kids. Wolf is 24. Both are Lts.

- Characters. Hmm. Not good at explaining. Flit has a sense of justice, is easy to follow, he pilots the gundam cause he dislikes the UE of course. Grodek is similar. Wolf's a thrill seeker, Emily's the strong-minded GF, etc.

- Drove me nuts when the non-gundam MSs fought the UE. They wouldn't be able to scratch the UE units. So, on the heroes side, you'd have to solely depend on Flit most of the time.

- I think the UE are cool.

- As for mobile designs, least the gundam designs, they start off plain but will get upgraded, either better or worse depending on taste. You get the typical shield, beam sword, beam rifle, etc. Compare it to Gundam X. The normal X, the Divider, and the Double X. Or maybe GP-01 on 0083. Or 0080's Alex. AGE gundam is flexible because of the AGE system. GP-01 is a very plain gundam, and Double X may seem "boring" w/o the prompt firepower of the Divider. They aren't like Gundam W or Gundam 00, who have preeeetty distinct gundams vision-wise.*Whistles @ angel's sig*

- Non-CGI FIGHTS! THANK GOODNESS! ><; I am weak at CGI.
