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…”

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.
If there is a god, then the first episode better mirror that of Ga-Rei: Zero.
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 remember that well. Probably the best pilot episode I've ever seen.
Dang how many people actually remember Ga-Rei: Zero? Its first episode is a prime example of a real awesome opening shocker.
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 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
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.
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.
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....
I get the feeling Im gonna see Dr.Light or Dr.Wily pop out nowhere
You do know that Inazuma Eleven is incredibly popular with Fujoshi?
the titus model, lookds like the chinese gundam .....
or some ripoff from 00 season 2
Very funny, lol
people will be fine
there's enough shota and loli in there for everyone
Considering the massive amount of fujoshi who shlicked over Beyblade, I wouldn't be impressed if this manage to become an immense success.
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.
I rather watch turn A!
This is actually pretty smart. They are indoctrinating the future otaku into gundumism for the next 20 years or so.
Oh god no. Just stop it already. The anime community really does not need yet another fucking stupid mecha anime. What the fuck is the point in the first place of a fighting robots -_-
The anime community does have a good chunk of it being composed of mecha fans. It may even have turned some non-mecha fans into some which I have Code Geass and Gurren Lagann to thank/blame for.
But this show, not how you do it. This is just wrong.
Nope, this is right.
even if it looks childish, it's not that childish....
But level-5's influence on this is just...
No characters to fap over?
Don't make me laugh. These worthless otaku will fap over a monkey if it had zettai ryouiki and was fucking its sister.
Agreed with some...I...don't feel like watching this
“Now the nostalgia-tards have something new to bash instead of Seed and 00, great, great.”
Hey, I actually liked 00 but Seed, OMG. Like copied 0079 (also loved that one) but with an emo grease all over it.
And as for this shota/loli Gundam, well it is just another indicator that anime industry is slowly but steadily going down.
Given the astronomical quantity of shota porn you can find on inazuma eleven, I'm not to concerned about the future of this one.
Sunrise needs to look to their past series like Gundam Wing or more backward like Gundam 0083. Those where great designs for a character. Since Pokémon I'm seeing characters like these.
it looks better than the designs from 1995 - 2005 imo, so let it slide, besides armuo back in the old days looks pretty much just like that if we are to draw the 0079 version again. as long as they give us a compeling storyline and none-retarded voice actors it should be fine
Someone should tell these producers that we viewers are getting older not younger...
Gundam AGE, yep age 3-13.
Wait, wasn't there already a "kiddy Gundam" series? They were all chibified and the Gundams could move and talk on their own...
Besides that, does it really matter if it'll be bad or not? Sure, I'm not watching it, but pixiv artists aren't merciful. There will inevitably be people who will watch and like it.
"RIP"
GUNDAM IS DYING... WE MUST WAIT FOR THE 4th EPISODE OF GUNDAM UC
Only Way to Describe this Effectively.
Say Slowly.
What...the...fuck!
Maybe I'm just a dirty shotacon but I kind of like the cartoony art.
I guess we could dub this
"Kiddy Senshi Gundam"
you gotta take a look at dark cloud 2 before taking a hasty opinion, that game was by lvl 5 sported some really kiddy designs, but the story was kinda deep and interesting.
its megaman, no its gundam
what??
im confused ~_~
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
No bishis is fine with me. Gundam SEED had too much of that for my taste.
This is crisis,dude!
What's wrong with Bandai!
(Gundam: 50%(OK))
(Character: 0%(Epic FAIL)
Just like SD Gundam Force.
TRASH, TRASH, TRASH!
2 words: FUCK YEAH!
Anime going back to its roots, BS moeblob era coming to an end :D>-<. Let's just hope this reboot doesn't get the boot...
People will still watch it like they do inazuma 11...besides they've done worst in the past...does anyone remember the SD(super defender, more like super deformed) gundams?..they didn't even have piliots.
fujoshis like shota like male otaku like loli. there will be fan base, if its any good in the first place.
Haro!!!! Ah yeah I'm watching this.
war in the pocket + the garrish and disgusting colors of SEED? Great. At least Unicorn is good.
hey, i saw mario in there.... am i blind or what?
SAGE
Who the hell gives a shit about fujoshi. They are the ones who make countless Code Geass and Gundam Seed yaoi fanart everyday.
I'm not attacking fujoshi, but this is a refreshing artstyle, I must say.
Gundam + Inazuma Eleven = Gundam Age XD
first impression - gay
why - shit characters
True gundam fans are U.C. fans, and as a U.C. fan i would say this doesn't look half as bad compared to my first impression of seed and 00
i'll save my final judgement for the ending of the show when turn A shows up to nuke the universe (seriously that would be a long over due moment of kickass)
atleast the people in this show looks more people like than the cast of the more recent A.U.s
and on a side note, if this series turns out to be actually good
we can always think of it this way
the aliens : alternate universe fucktards
the feddies : the original generation (UC)
earth: the viewers
conflict: who's show is better
the fact: UC>U
and if this show fails, we can always fall back on gundam unicorn
universal century, the only true gundam universe
The fujoshi will always find a way.
crap..even G gundam is better than this..they have targeted the wrong target market
When they finally make a Gundam series that is as Badass as Gurren Lagann, or as Epic as Code Geass, let me know.
fujoshi shit
i watch gundam for mecha
Can I blame I-shit-hara for this one too?
Don't you see?!?! This is all a conspiracy! They are intentionally making shows that seem less appealing so that the next one can make a come back!
Although it may not seem like it, 00 actually did some things right that SEED just utterly screwed up.
And after the gorefest that was V Gundam, G Gundam was a nice improvement and Wing proved to be one of the most epic Gundam series ever made!
It may be getting shittier, but Sunrise at least knows they suck at this now so they at least try to do something about it.
These new Gundams and enemies all look like shitty rip offs of those from 00.
I'm avoiding this one.
At least the grunt mechs in 00 season 1 didn't look as generic as that genoace. And this compared to the likes of SEED, Wing, and even some of the UC era gundams and shows, I'll pass.
Just wait for Unicorn Ep. 4 some time in October/November.
first decent looking Gundam since G. I might actually like this.
This is something Gundam should never have become, a kids show.
GUNDAM IS NOT A KID'S SHOW!!! D:
SD Gundam Force?
But Gundam IS for kids.
o rly nao? i dont see 6years old building kits
