Sunrise has announced the latest Gundam anime as “Kidou Senshi Gundam AGE,” and Gundam otaku of both sexes are aghast at the fact that there will likely be no more bishonen or bishoujo to onanise over…
The anime is set to air in October, and as can be seen from the promotional material released so far, appears to be aimed at younger viewers (in fact the series is being handled by Level 5 boss Akihiro Hino, best known for Inazuma Eleven) :
This has all aggrieved 2ch no end:
“Who’ll watch this?”
“They’re targeting elementary schoolers?”
“Will the fujoshi be OK?”
“It’ll end up like this:
The DVDs won’t sell.
The otaku will moan and whine at first but gradually become fans.
Most kids won’t watch it.
Toy sales will be average.”
“The first Gundam product I couldn’t care less about.”
“This is horrible.”
“Looking at the story I thought this was some super robot anime…”
“Now the nostalgia-tards have something new to bash instead of Seed and 00, great, great.”
“Now it’s a kiddy Gundam?”
“They don’t want to have to deal with you lot any more…”

I'll add my own remark:
"Leave fighting against aliens to Macross and the VF Valkyries! Gundam is trespassing Macross's turf if it really goes all out battling aliens."
Agree, aliens have no place in a real Gundam story :(
Man vs man war is trademark for gundam for decades. Broke that now will risk losing fan.
people , you must remember that Gundam Unicorn is still in production.
THIS SHOW IS CLEARLY AIMED TO THE CHILDREN PUBLIC !!!! CHILDREN WHO WILL GROW AND DISCOVER ALL THE CLASSIC GUNDAM UNIVERSE AFER WATCH THIS NEW ANIME !!!!!
STOP WITH ALL THIS FANRABID AND REMEMBER THAT ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY NEEDS ATTRACT PUBLIC TO WORK !!!
You're damn right
But 00's Trailblazer movie already broke in.
But it was smart to at least make it be the end game.. And make it some inorganic, Star Trekish alien.
I want to officially rename this series into
Gundam UnderAGE.
Where do I sign?
SiR, you have my vote
I see what you did there
underage? LOL
Maybe they want to take the chance and sell oversea? Inazuma Eleven is quite popular here, even my sister watch that.
haha,, yeah it suppose to be gundam UnderAge,,hahah
First thing that came to my mind was
Gundam sAGE
People spill their drinks when Turn A was announced, but it turns out very well too. Gonna hold my rage until at least 15 episode or so.
Thank you for mentioning Turn A. People pretty much had the exact same concerns back then and look how the actual series proved them wrong.
sorry but Turn A had even more retarded politics than the latter part of seed destiny, i literally facepalmed at how retarded characters in it act during the first few episodes.
"Will the fujoshi be ok"????
Rather than worrying about the normal fucking fans, you're worrying about the fujoshi? Are you fucking kidding? It's like when someone gets hurt, and you go ask the one who hurt him "Are you ok? you hurt somewhere?", that's the fucking same shit here.
Plus Gundam isn't Some fujoshi mansion or something you dipshit.
If there is a god, then the first episode better mirror that of Ga-Rei: Zero.
Dang how many people actually remember Ga-Rei: Zero? Its first episode is a prime example of a real awesome opening shocker.
I remember that well. Probably the best pilot episode I've ever seen.
And the third episode better be looked like that of Madoka Magica.
Amen to that.
this blows, gundam is done for if the creatures look like that
The art is totally shitty and I most definitely skip that crap...
Gundam Mogu Mogu? #snicker
i smell Football Gundam coming, Spallow For Speed(Passing Ball) and Titus for Defence(Tackle), and Normal For GoalKeeper.
I won't be surprise if the Gundam use Football like weapon as an upgrade.
Since it's from Akihiro Hino, best known for Inazuma Eleven
+1
I think i will, watch pokemon instead.
you know, that would be a nice way to start gundam. I approve, and hope you are right
Maybe make the sixth episode play out like the most artistic and supernatural parts of Tatami Galaxy.
WHY NO PRETTY BOYS? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
The main hero comes to save his childhood friend, taken by terrorists. He's aiming he's gun that looks like a toy and BANG BLOOD MEAT BONES EXPLOSIONS HEADS FLIYING EYEBALLS AND SPINES FUCKING RIPPED OFF GUTS AND BRAINS SMASHED FIRE EVERYONE FUCKING DIES A SPACE STATION WITH 3000 peolpe GOES BOOM CHILDREN AND WOMEN DIES!!!!
Ahh.. I came.
I get the feeling Im gonna see Dr.Light or Dr.Wily pop out nowhere
Kiddy series make alot more money than the regular gundam series, so this means that Sunrise n Bandai are despo for cash now.
gunpla is not for kids.
Sunrise have lost their innovation long time ago, they can only continue to milk the gundam franchise.
Of course kids will be the ideal pilot for billions worth of military hardware.
NERV throught so, and thank God they did.
Ayanami, hmmmmm....
Turquoise hair? Really?
Well, whatever. Gundam long ago ceased to be anything but a beat-up marketing whore.
A promuscuous aids infected whore =(
Gundam has ALWAYS been a marketing whore. The series was always built around selling GunPla model kits. Yes even UC. It baffles me me how people keep forgetting this.
yes yes. a 30minute commercial indeed.. but i wouldn't watch this commercial.
It doesnt seems to marketing successfully now with all these comments lol
advertisement is advertisement where positive or negative.
Is this a joke? Have I traveled back in time 20 years? No, cause if I had, Gundam would have been AWESOME. What the fuck is this shit? It looks worse the Gundam 0079. How do you even DO that?! Jesus on bread, this makes 00 look like a fucking masterpiece.
First Toei rapes the Digimon formula, and now Sunrise is COPYING THEM!!! What the fuck?
Who the fuck hates Xros Wars? More companies should follow Toei's example of "making awesome anime"
"Who the fuck hates Xros Wars?"
How about anyone who is over 12 years old, seriously the first gundam, the first digimon, hell the first pokemon were all much grittier compared to the versions of today.
Enough with these crappy remakes/sequels.
Worse than the /first anime adaption (tv-serie wise)/ of gundam? Really now? Have you even bothered watching it?
*Shakes head*
While I'm not all happy over Gundam AGE, I'll give it a try. Who knows, it might be better than it looks >.>
i really hope its better, =.=
well this reminds me of gurren
Words fail me. The end of Gundam as we know it.
At least them "UC elitists" will tell the Wing, Seed and 00 fanatics "Now you know what sort of crap I had to put up with for the past 20 years!" lol
This isn't the end of Gundam damnit. Stop with that bullshit way of complaining about shows I don't like.
This is actually pretty smart. They are indoctrinating the future otaku into gundumism for the next 20 years or so.
You do know that Inazuma Eleven is incredibly popular with Fujoshi?
