| Exactl what I awaited, an more or less average ending to an average anime. Gundam AGE, I loved you from the beginning to the end, even if I did hate you sometimes around the end, Im gonna miss the daily sundays watching you. |
| At some point of the battle with pulled-from-ass final enemy mecha I thought I was watching a Godzilla movie. Unexpectedly, a mess,rushed (49 episodes, sic!) finale. It lefts me with no choice but to lower my overall personal rating to 5/10. Very much a forgettable series which could have been much better. Also, please, no more anime in this universe, m'kay, Sunrise? |

| lol youtube fails again the english subs wont load... i ended up watching the korean version and i agree it was a rushed ending the battle scenes is not that exciting but overall i enjoyed this series so 8/10 for me so the youtube english version works for me now... Yurin told Flit to forgive himself... ah i guess that is the answer for hatred and that is to learn how to let go... and darn i thought the AGE Builder is already gone but looks like they got some of it still since they send a new bazooka for Kio on the final battle to anyone that hates Gundam AGE just learn to Forgive this series just like what Grandpa Flit learned lol |

| So bad.... The whole series was just so bad.... Normally I'm not one to bitch on a anime and I don't even have that high of a standard like some "elitist" but the end was so bad. The fight scene was not even that exciting. The final enemy was pretty much ezelcant so I can understand that but Sid was really just there for the sake of being there so that it can be defeated imo. At least Asemu finally came back and Flit met Yuri again can finally forgive. Flit is easily one of my favourite character in the series as I can understand how much hate he felt because the vagan killed someone he loved. It was nice seeing Woolf and the Captain (forgot his name) again. And it was kinda emotional seeing his mother again after such a long time. The afterworld dialogue where flit was explaining what had happened wasn't that good for me as I was hoping to see some scene from what he said. Even though the ED scene showed the Asuno family potrait and the Age 1 being showed in the museum and Flit's statue being erected to commemorate with Asemu and Kio being old saying that the statue was nice. It still didn't felt enough for me as I was expecting more scenes from after the war. Overall 5/10 Please Sunrise, don't make another gundam series like this again. |

| Well, can't really say I'm surprised. Now, let's wait for the new UC remake. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| That was beautiful. I cried when Flit was with Yurin and the rest of the people that died and he had a change of heart. He finally became a savior along with Kio. T_T 8/10 would have been a 9/10 if it were not for the Fairdain arc. I'm depressed first Sket Dance, then Kuroko, now this my weeks are going to be empty without them. T_T Well time to finish Wing I guess. I hope The Origin will be an OVA and we will get a new universe and characters for a TV series instead. Cause I don't want to sit through 43 weeks/episodes of QUALITY pacing and art like I did the first time around. xP |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| I haven't watched the episode yet, subs are not out yet, and the youtube page is cr*p, but judging from the comments above it seems I was right all along, that AGE is the most piss poor Gundam effort yet.but still I'm watching it, but perhaps if I were to rate this even before watching the final episode I'd give it 4/10. I'll post my overall thoughts on this show once I've finished watching the subbed versions |
| worst ending ever out of all the gundam animes. possibility of seeing an OVA or movie for this is most likely 0% |
| ] |
| i kinda like AGE i try to keep a open mind towards it. yeah it has flaws but some parts are good i would like to say im glad they didn't based the enemy off the Titans from Zeta again like 00's A-Laws and Seeds logos/phantom pain really like some of the mobile suits like the AGE-1 Glanza AGE-2 DB, AGE-2 Dark Hound, AGE-3 Fortress, AGE-3 Orbital, G-Bouncer, and alot of the EF mass produced MS. also least AGE doesn't have like over 15 Gundams like Seed/Destiny and 00 |

Brigandi said: also least AGE doesn't have like over 15 Gundams like Seed/Destiny and 00 Well I'd say the mecha design of Seed was much better due to the brilliant color scheme (not realistic since they suck at camouflage). As for Age, the mecha design was rather bland. Original? Maybe. But still very bland. |

| Final episode didn't impress me at all, maybe it's because many enemy like Zenald, Zeheart and Fram were already dead, and Zera that merged with Shido didn't look strong enough to be final boss. |
| Sorry for my poor english |
| it was ok! the story of the series was interesting, but it wasn't delivered too well! =[ they should remake this |
     |
| I was going to wait for the sub group to bring this episode out in HD quality but I figured it would be a craptastic episode anyway so I streamed it in god awful 360p. And it was indeed craptastic; the ending was so terribly rushed compared to the last 10 or so episodes, fights weren't that great, and the plot development could have used another 2-3 episodes imo. Many people dismissed this anime purely on the kiddy style art and the fact that they were trying to target a younger audience; I gave it a chance, I overlooked the art and obviously terrible character developments and found that the show had an overall decent plot going on and I had looked forward to watching the show every week. I enjoyed the early to mid-stories but found the show tanking near the end. Overall I would have liked to give this anime a 6/10 but the ending just killed it for me; it's getting a 5/10. |
| Go ***k yourself. Polite as usual, lightXTC |
| Last episode settled AGE 2 plot of Asem and Zeheart and this one settled AGE 1 of Flit becoming a savior. I'd say the last half was pretty rushed, as usual. SID is supposed to be this strong badass with all this knowledge yet he got owned. Same with that clone fella. Instead of having the 1:30 ending, they could have had a more decent epilogue, memorials, show what happened to all the surviving side characters, and Vegan arriving/adjusting to Earth The only pros i loved from this episode was Flit reuniting with Yurin, the only thing that stood out to me in this whole episode actually. Guess Emily doesn't mean much to him. I love Flit, he's my favorite character but it would have been epic if he'd died and showed him reuniting with all the AGE 1 characters with Yurin's bow in the after life. I'm in decisive which had the worst ending, 00 movie or AGE. 100 years huh? Overall i give this series a 7/10 because it had its moments. I wouldn't say this is the worst Gundam series as some of these "elitist" bitch about, but it's certainly not the best. If I thought this was rushed, can't wait to see the clusterfuck of the Special Editions. |

| gundam ja nai 5/10 |
 |
| I bet Vargas is still around in AG 201 |
| . |
| Passing a kidney stone is better than A Wakening the Trailblazer if you want to get down to it, but not sure I'd say this is better. It's like two garbage scows sailing off into the sunset side by side. You're just glad they're leaving. |
 |
| I think it needed 50 episodes to make the ending slightly better, this felt very rushed. Although..i'll miss AGE sundays, now all that is left is OST Vol.4(?) right? |
OrangePalSep 23, 2012 6:09 PM
| The ending was sub par, but my ultimate goal of watching this was to get the same concept of Gears of War (a war for survival) but told right (it ended the way I wanted it to.) So I'm satisfied. |
 |
| The statue should of been of Kio, he was the true hero in my opinion. |
I am a sucker for romance!!!! ] |
| Well that ending was even more mediocre than I expected. Oh well, I doubt we'll ever see anything else about Gundam AGE other than several unnecessary compilation movies. |
| Ok™ |
| Anime gets a 6.5/10 overall from me Flit was the only redeeming quality this anime had, kio's whining ruined a lot of this show. The episode gets a 4 at best considering how the enemies get dunked the final fight lasted what only a minute and a half just terrible. Really hope to not see anything more like this in the future. |
| The conclusion was much better than I expected, definitely perhaps one of my favorite of the Gundam's Ive seen. I enjoyed each of the developments as well as the final boss. Never would have thought it would be Zera Gin's combined with SID. I guess people who called that SID would come back before the show as done were right on the money.. They really know how to appeal to me with all the flash and stuff, and even the way they had it all played out worked well, just the camera position during the most intense part of the fighting and even the location. Really well done. The resolution was actually satisfying even if the hints were laid out pretty heavily over the past six+ episodes. I did crey when Lord Ezelcanto sama gave his final wish to Kio, forking over his ideal for Kio's one of making a world in which people can just be human. I was so glad when both sides made pleas for everyone to work together towards the various goals, as well as disconnecting La Gramis from Second Moon and all three Gundams working in unison, teamwork is always win!. Excellent. ----------- Overall Id have to say Gundam Age was just a really wonderful ride for the past 50+ weeks Ive been following it. The art style and character design initially interested me in trying it out and I liked mechas and was looking for a way to get into Gundam, so I thought to start here, and it worked. During the time I did follow this, and then picked up 00, Seed HD, and even Wing. The characters for gAGE were just really good and right in my interests for stories I like to follow. Each generation saw them receive considerable amounts of development, and them working towards their goals and motivations, with their own keystone moments. Flit was awesome as a lead and second favorite of the three. I liked how he turned out over time, shaped by the things that affected him in his age. Desil was a good rival of sorts for him.Then Asemu was an excellent second one who was my favorite. I think for the three he was given the best Gundam. The Age 2 Gundam Normal just looks amazing and I always like the ones with wings and are slimmer. Age 1 had some pretty bulky modifications, such as the Titan form of it. Even if he wasnt an X-rounder, I liked how a normal human could still have relevance even against his rival of sorts, Zehearto. And for Zehearto too he had good development over time. I believe he liked having the company of Asemu and friends during his teenage years and was grateful for it, even if he couldnt ever express it to Asemu well. The memories he had later in life were touching and just the photos we occasionally saw and their robot stuff. The gens big two moments were amazing especially Zehearto and Asemu having to work together at the Battle at Northrum, and such, and working to from causing too much harm to earth, that entry to earth was awesome. I love teamwork. The Battle at Big Ring was good too, and liked the Magicians 8. And lastly third gen was good too. Kio may not be as good as Asemu and Flit, probably just due to age and being less experienced or not having time to be experienced, but his desire for peace was a nice change of pace for the mains, and I loved that he wanted to see things from the Vegans point of view. Being captured and meeting upclose with Lord Ezelcanto sama and Deen and his sister was a good set of episodes, and it gave us the glorious Gundam Legilus. And then further from this moment I liked that he received the best modified suit, the Age FX Normal with Burst Mode and C-funnels, that was epic and like he shot lasers from his eyes and all those glowing thrusters. The Vegan suit, FaunFausia is also another suit I liked from this. I guess I love bits, and even if it is kind of girly, it was still a cool suit! Favorite moments were with the stuff around Exa DB SID and Asemu and Zehearto with that issue, really good fight it was, as well as Rostroulan, OliverNotes, the MoonBase, and the fall of Big Ring. Final battle was amazing just for the sake of Digmazenon and my last Asemu/Zehearto moment and battle. I felt bad for Zehearto he was always ahead and finally let Asemu pass him and then to pass away :(. I think Im probably in the minority but Gundam Age was worth giving a shot and was vastly rewarding week after week. I liked the ever deepening plot and the intense action, as well as the visuals and music (nary a bad song on the OST). Side characters like Desil, Fram, Leil, Seric Abis, Wolf, Ezelcanto-sama, Deen, Algrieus, were well done and interesting and actually worth mentioned, and the main characters were all good, like Zehearto, Flit, Asemu, Kio, were good. 10/10. On my Gundams, definitely close to being tied with Wing for my favorite. |

| ^you're very positive about AGE, which is good to see. I rate this series a 7/10. There were some things I enjoyed, and some things I didn't. All in all, I actually enjoyed this series well enough to stick on this train ride for a whole year of watching. I'm going to come up with a review with for this since I'd like to describe my thoughts on there. Idk how to really feel about the ending. It was hard to determine whether all the Vagans were going to be wiped out or that the heroes were sacrificed in order to attain a balanced future in the end. Plus...I played the storyline of the AGE game for PSP. I really enjoyed the gameplay system they had, and the storyline were nearly intact with each other, with some minor changes here and there. Hard to believe a bit that the game was released a month before the anime finished...and the game pretty much finished the story ahead of its time. .-. |

| this show could've had awesome points if it had good direction and writing.. the struggle of an old man to exact or give up on his revenge (mirrored twice with two characters and with opposite conclusions), the struggle of someone who felt inferior to his rival and his father just because he has no superpowers, the hesitation and resolve of someone to fulfill his commitment and accept another's legacy, the sacrifice of someone out of her loyalty and love, the struggle of a shy person so that she could become a better leader, and even the differences of ideals of three Gundam protagonists in one timeline.. these things could've been beautiful if the show wasn't intended for kids (heck, they even failed the part of being intended for kids coz of their ratings and sales).. in addition to too much whack gathered throughout the story, all the stuff i mentioned above were not handled sincerely and the characters doing it are not as compelling as the show drives them to do it just to enact it.. the show just feels like joining Gundam tropes yet the characterization and direction of the plot are not sincere enough to make up for it.. they made everything feel simplistic to appeal to children but even then, the show lacks the inherit charm for the kids.. they were able to make the previous Gundam watchers to see it but it just wasn't able to make up for it given how it has to remain simplistic.. so well, i'll just give it a 6/10.. i say this show still holds the best Gundam naked space scene (Fram's) and that Yurin moment at the end felt like giving Flit and the entire series a full circle.. and i'd say Gundam protagonists growing up is the biggest and only motivation for watching this Gundam compared to the rest.. but it just fails at a lot of things.. |
| I can only give it a 6 or a 7 out of 10. Gonna miss you AGE. - Personally, maybe it was some kind of X-rounder mind trick (lol), but I almost felt that Flit letting go of his hatred was too easy. Yamada or NOT! But Luckily he did. When the hatred went away, a good ending. - Man, Zera was just...a waste. And why in the world did he bond with SID?! And FX whooped it too easily IMO. Zeheart had trouble with it, and this is the ultimate vegan pilot + the secret data stuff. Other than that, a happy ending. See what happens when the world comes together? GJ Kio and Flit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12CmOw5MY0E |

| End was shtt... |
|
| average ending for a average show 6/10. |
 |
| i was hoping for a great battle... sigh~ but i was so glad to see Yurin again~ Glad that this series is finished... pls dont make this kind of Gundam again~ |

aereus said: I'm glad to see this series behind us now, and hope we can look forward to a real Gundam series in another 3 years that doesn't cater to 5 year olds, like Gundam00. Yeah man, Gundam totally needs more intelligently-written characters that cater to mature audiences, like Andrei Smirnov and Louise Halevy. |
 |
| Crap ending to an overall meh show. It wasn't a particularly bad series, but it could have been so much more. 6/10. |
| I love how at the end of the day Kio really did not accomplish anything at all. He preached UNDERSTANDING for so long and only got people killed for it. Meanwhile Yurin comes in and changes Flit's mind in about 5 lines. Oh Yurin you really were the saviour this show needed. Flit the best character overall and I'm glad he was the one who became the saviour in the end. |
| lol even worse than 48, are the staff even trying...? What piece of bull..good bye and good riddance. You will NOT be missed. 6/10 |

He could have produced numerous AGE builders with the resources of the Earth Fed and built a fleet of Diva-class warships with Photon Blasters. Fed all of the combat data to the builders to constantly be churning out new and improved weaponry for the fleets, etc. that would mean that they would have to also mass produce the AGE System and the AGE Device dude thats like saying they should mass produce Gundams that would be fucking expensive |
Brigs77Sep 24, 2012 3:06 PM
| The Photon Blaster Cannon was designed by AGE System... I mean fucking christ they showed the AGE Builder connected to the AGE-1 with cables before they started upgrading the Diva AGE Builder is useless without the AGE System... Adeles DODS Rifle are toned down while it has the same power rating they dont have the mode where it shoots higher powered shots theres still fucking trators and after Flits purged the corruption in the EF. Mentioned by Asemu saying he attacked Federation ships affiliated with Vagan and theres that shithead Aaron Simmons at the Moonbase Wolfs G-Bouncer is a strong MS. He doesn't need a Gundam to kick ass |
