No, the world is too good a place for AGE to ever get that kind of time. Besides, how do you fit that show in when Flit's entire life takes up the whole plot? Like, SRW does time skips but not 40 year ones.

They will find a way. You're playing Z and they are making it so they can have both a Teenaged Setsuna interact with Heero who is 16 and stays that way while Setsuna will age up.

Corvo, your smart so please don't put your head in the sand and act like this won't happen. It will, and acting otherwise is just foolish. If anything, you and people like you should be excited for when it happens. Banpresto have been able to largely salvage Destiny and there is no reason they couldn't/won't do the same for Gundam AGE.

I want a sequel series

This has me tempted to check out other Gundam series but god damn are there so many and not really any consensus from looking around. Thinking about just going back and finishing watching Gundam Wing from when I was a kid.

Also getting ready to order my next Gunpla

 

[Hero]

What a great episode. Truly going to miss this. Really wound up loving the cast, even if the fights in the finals were really punchy.

Wish this would get another season.

 

[KillerMan91]

The huge success of SEED was mostly because it actually had a lot of female fans. Dat Athrun x Kira melodrama.

 

[Jaeger]

The feels, so sad now. Might have dethroned Gundan Wing as my favorite Gundam series.

In before people laugh at my favorite.

Wing was awesome. It was one of my earliest Gundam shows, and IMO still holds up. Mostly a remake of the UC, too. But the 5 Gundam Pilots was awesome.

Salvaging Destiny is one thing.

Salvaging AGE is another thing entirely. And 00 v Wing doesn't really work cuz they can just wave that away as the time between Wing's end and EW's start.

AGE is a full century in a single run. It'd take time travel or something.

It's less "I don't believe they'll do it" and more "I REALLY hope they don't do it." though.

Nah man. You cant just wave away Heero aging 1 year while Setsuna ages 6.

 

[The Return of]

Man this show was so good, by far my favorite non UC Gundam show. It was really fun to watch and I do hope it gets a 2nd season. It was everything I wished G Gundam and Gundam Wing were. And yes, I dislike both of those shows especially Wing.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

This was my first Gundam anime and I'm so sad to see it end because it was fucking awesome.... I'm going to miss it so much.

 

[Niraj]

Great finale. Really loved this show.

 

[Ken]

Arian was kind of boring though lol.

 

[Megalosaro]

This was my first Gundam anime and I'm so sad to see it end because it was fucking awesome.... I'm going to miss it so much.

My first was gundam age [that I watched as it originally aired]

Gbf was far better. Im much more upset at this being over.

 

[CorvoSol]

Nah man. You cant just wave away Heero aging 1 year while Setsuna ages 6.

Eh, it's easier to wave away that difference than it would be to have Flit become a Grampa before say, Musashi gets replaced by Benkei.

 

[ultron87]

That was so good! Smile on my face the whole time, until the feels.

I think Exia Repair was my favorite part since it meant Alan specifically brought a cape to use.

What did the newspaper for Nils/Caroline say? I assume they reinvented particles or something to make Gunpla Battle possible again?

 

[Vecks]

Pretty much. From my basic Japanese understanding, the headline seems to be:

Successful creation of Plavski particle on ISS by Nils Nielson. Gunpla Battle Revived.

Or something like that.

 

[Tecl0n]

So good. SO SO GOOD. Master, Gouf, Trans-am Exia Repair. dem feels by the vanishing high five.

 

[Coxy]

I am so lttp on this, just watched episode 9

Spoiler

The Bearguy training montage was pure gold

 

[Boss Doggie]

Wonder if this will ever be kitted:

That'd be a hilarious irony.

Turning a knockoff into an official product which happened in the show.

 

[PaulExcellent]

Oh, man. I'm actually considering that Build Fighters collector's edition just for that MG Build Strike.
It's a lot of cash, but...
IT LOOKS SO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD~

 

[Ken]

That'd be a hilarious irony.

PPSE MASS-PRODUCED BOOTLEG MOBILE SUIT

 

[sonicmj1]

Build Fighters has done well, but nothing I've seen suggests it's come any where near the levels SEED reached. Build Fighters has been a great way to rebound after the awful AGE, but SEED was and is the biggest thing to come out of Gundam since Zeta Gundam. Build Fighters even plays on this by having the lead be the Strike Gundam.

Plus I just hope there isn't a second season, the show could be fun but it wasn't anything that I overly enjoyed and relied way to heavily on Nostalgia to get people into at every turn be it for recent stuff like Strike or Exia or playing on older fans from Wing and G. I rather a new series come out and be fresh and try new things with a brand new cast of mechs and characters.

Build Fighters doesn't need to reach SEED's levels of popularity to be worth returning to, as long as it does its job of moving tons and tons of plastic models.

 

[CorvoSol]

So good. SO SO GOOD. Master, Gouf, Trans-am Exia Repair. dem feels by the vanishing high five.

Master and Gouf team up was glorious,

That high five gave me Final Fantasy X feelings.

 

[X-Frame]

Wow, that was such a great finale, and so many fan service!

I must have watched and re-watched the

Spoiler

epic entrance of Ral and Master Chinan about 10 times!

I also really need the soundtrack now ..

 

[Kalamari]

Such a good show, gonna have to watch it again.

 

[Dahbomb]

Someone PLEASE gif the vanishing high five.

 

[Tecl0n]

Master and Gouf team up was glorious,

fellini's reaction was spot on.

That high five gave me Final Fantasy X feelings.

Now that you mention it, I kinda see it.

 

[flamingotripod]

The exia coming in with the cape my god..........

 

[Boss Doggie]

The exia coming in with the cape my god..........

And with Kampfer's arm!

 

[Blader]

Great finale. Really liked Exia Repair, Gouf/Master Gundam team-up, and animated Crossbone. That

Spoiler

Gryps laser cameo

is definitely going to steal some thunder from Unicorn's final episode. :lol

 

[DominoKid]

wow all that action was only 10 minutes. there was so much going on that it felt like a whole episode.

 

[Verelios]

Final episode was beautiful. I just really, really wish they hadn't ruined it with some more Knuckle.

And I thought this last episode, but Miss Baker's the best 'wife' of the show. Ran into hell with that dumbass, and took care of him from Day 1, effectively making Mashita rich. Can't ask for much more.

And God damn Ral. Why did I always think he was weak?!

 

[Megalosaro]

Baker was a fantastic character. Plus she is a Sayla cosplayer

 

[Jarmel]

I'm a little mixed on this. I thought the first half was kinda lame because they were wiping out mooks for ten minutes and a poorly designed cannon. I would have much preferred like a core five AI ran Super Gundams wrecking everybody over grunt fare.

Then you have the Yuuki and Reiji which felt tacked on, both on an emotional level but also animation-wise too. It just felt there and all the hype that was built up to it, got lost in the previous episode.

 

[chickdigger802]

wait... where do they get the particles now the crystal is gone?

I feel like i missed something.

 

[Blader]

Nils and his girlfriend invented a new crystal in the credits.

 

[Ken]

And with Kampfer's arm!

it didn't have kampfer's arm in repair mode lol

 

[darthbob]

Someone PLEASE gif the vanishing high five.

(i found that one funny)

 

[Boss Doggie]

it didn't have kampfer's arm in repair mode lol

Ahh right.

 

[NEO0MJ]

And God damn Ral. Why did I always think he was weak?!

He was taking it beyond easy on Reiji, probably afraid he'd crush his spirit.

 

[Crimsonlink]

;_;

What an ending. So happy for the cast and Sei himself. Hope there are a few OVAs from time to time.

I really wanted to see Star Build Cosmos in action.

 

[Dresden]

Oh God.

Finished the episode.

Now facing the abyss of knowing there won't be GBF next week.

e: also, poor Baker.

 

[CorvoSol]

Oh God.

Finished the episode.

Now facing the abyss of knowing there won't be GBF next week.

e: also, poor Baker.

No reason to look forward to Monday anymore.

 

[DXLelouch153]

Oh God.

Baker jumped in with Mashita on her own
she obviously wants him
its just not as obvious as Aila

 

[Nyanmaruz]

Master and Gouf stole the final episode. IT WAS THAT GOOD!!!

 

[NEO0MJ]

Baker jumped in with Mashita on her own

If anything I say those two care for each other much more than Reiji and Aila,

 

[Dresden]

No, Baker cares about Mashita, but I doubt he sees her in the same light. She has the worst taste in men.

 

[NEO0MJ]

Nah, Mashita loves her. It's just that their relationship is more mother and son instead of girlfriend and boyfriend.

 

[enzo_gt]

did Maoh find love or not

these questions demand a new series

 

[sonicmj1]

No, Baker cares about Mashita, but I doubt he sees her in the same light. She has the worst taste in men.

Well, he had a hell of a pickup line.
