Very cool that they're bringing in some Boom Boom Satellites. Love their stuff.

[Insanecyclone]

Trying to keep this relevant too, Gundam AGE has been incredible after the 2nd half of the first generation. It's currently going into the final generation next weekend.

dat sexy AGE-3 Normal

Unicorn 01 will be entirely disarmed after capture apparently; even the beam sabers are gone.

Probably going to lead up to the FA Unicorn parts or something.

[Edelweiss]

Actually, if that rear-waist weapon is like the Banshee's right-arm weapon, an "Armed Armor DE" or something.. maybe we'll see a different FA Unicorn. There's also some mention of the ReZEL Defenser B-type originally introduced in Bande Dessinee in the OVA now.

Well, here's the text about the UC ACE Vol. 4 bonus item and manga/OVA features:

ガンダムUCエースVol.4 角川書店 800円 5月17日
附带以前单行本附属过的MG新安洲火箭炮

独角兽漫画，预定登场新装备“Armed Armor DE”
盾的增加装备
+推进装置和武装
预期加速性和机动性会提高
其实就是RGZ-95的防卫者B武装的盾牌

Anyway, UC ACE Vol. 4 includes the Rocket Bazooka for the MG 1/100 Sinanju; though we kinda knew this awhile ago I guess.

AGE-3 Normal looks so damn sexy from it's debut

I guess Beltochika Irma from Z will facilitate guiding the Garancieres attack on Bright's behalf via Luo & Company's (Hong Kong-arc of Zeta) black market channels (she is mentioned in the synopsis for the episode) as per the novels (with Kai also assisting); no word on Nanai Miguel yet. Seems she might be more likely for Ep. 6 now.

Also..

Spoiler: show

Apparently the Rozen Zulu shows up in the credits.

Additionally, there was also an extremely old Zaku MSV for combat within the gravity well of Earth from 1981 that is similar to the Krake Zulu's new blacked out additions. So we'll see if its just more side-material for Bande Dessine, or if it actually shows up in the OVA.

And the Sinanju will use the Rocket Bazooka in this episode.

Gundam AGE definitely picked up after Asemu's era. And Kio's era seems to be jam packed with drama coming up.

Dunno wtf happened during Flit's story.

[Insanecyclone]

Until a certain someone's death the first generation(flit) felt boring, but after that...it becomes awesome.

[Edelweiss]

As expected..

The author of the novels, Fukui, as well as the OVA heads have essentially said the story will be impossible to finish in a satisfactory manner within six episodes. As a result, there's going to be an announcement forthcoming about the expansion of the "end of the (first) UC."

This is kind of a "duh" thing; Ep.4's heavy compression of the Earth-side arc should have made this apparent while they were planning it out.. oh well, minor fault if they give sufficient space for the remainder.

Edit: Informed speculation via a friend who works with Gundam-related books and such in an official capacity, suggests that there is likely to be addition of 4 episodes (he thinks the Sinanju theft scenario will be animated entirely, i'm not so sure.. but eh) or so if the rumors of Fukui's dissatisfaction with the novel ending is true.

[Ker]

So we getting an extra episode to end the GU series.

[Serra]

That looks like a wolf.. Also, episode 6 in around a year?? FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU. ..

[Insanecyclone]

[Insanecyclone]

[Insanecyclone]

Episode 6 is called "Space, Earth, and..."

[Insanecyclone]

Episode 5 is up on PSN now

[Hitoru]
