Unfortunately, it won't even live up to already low expectations.
I would say that fitting multiple generations into anything short of like 100 episodes probably won't end as anything but rushed, but this was only compounded by fucking Hino's awful writing and characterization.So let down still. I actually had high hopes for AGE, even though Flit's Arc started off slow, and was unevenly paced. This is the problem of trying to compact 3 series into one, I guess. This could have easily been much better, should they had just made it 3 separate series over time. Flit's story would have been that much better due to him having the very best character development out of the three generations, we would have seen more epic Super Pilot fight by Asemu, and Kio would not have been so useless in his own 49 episode story.
This is going to be a very painful wait for Episode 6, such an awful series. And we're probably going to get an announcement on the Destiny HD remaster at the end of the month. So, yeah. I guess between the SEED remasters (can't wait to see how Morosawa and Fukuda fuck Destiny up even more), and Muv-Luv, at least we have shit to laugh at for being so bad until Ep. 6 comes to save us from the failure.This 0079 War Reboot/Reimaging & Unicorn could not come any faster. I need them to wash away the memories of AGE. AGE might be seriously the only Gundam show I will never watch again in it's entirety.
This Anon summed up some pretty fair criticisms and complaints about AGE.
Although i'm not sure it was "sexism" as much as it was just really stupid and shitty use of female characters (especially Captain Coloring Book). But really, this level of incompitence/hamfisting dumb shit is just inexcusable. Lessons clearly were not learned (or were they just forgotten?) from the two SEED series. AGE will probably hurt especially because of the poor merchandise sales, and numerous accounts (visual, sales reports, etc.) of retailers worldwide slashing prices on AGE kits by half or more to just get the fucking things off the shelves. It's going to be shunned harder than G-Saviour at this rate (AGE isn't UC at the very least, so it can't be cut off from the timeline and just thrown to the abyss like G-Saviour).
