I'm actually enjoying Gundam AGE, but I wonder if they'll end up shortening the length of the show? They've never given an episode count for it, have they?

I'm enjoying it too. I hope they don't shorten it. The thing I'm looking forward to most is the story spanning three generations. If they shorten it, I don't know how they'd be able to execute it well.
I think this talk of the ratings being poor is a bit sensational. The list linked is a Top 10 list. Although AGE is listed towards the bottom, it's one of the newer series that's still doing relatively well (Top 10). Many of the other higher rated shows have been ongoing for at least the last 10 years if not more (Sazae-san ~40years +). So I think it's kind of skewed. Supposedly the ratings are only based in the Kanto region too (~ 1/3 Japan's population).

You have gundams. Then you have millions of silver missiles. Gundams shoot millions of missiles for two hours. The End

Gundam X had only slightly worse ratings (.6 average difference) before it was moved to a different time slot which ended up killing it.
If they keep the ratings as is, the show should be ok, but if it drops more it faces possibility of being moved or possibly getting cut short. Of course a big factor also is how well the merchandise is selling. If AGE merch sells badly, along with declining ratings, things won't look well for the show.

The future becomes really colorful and lame looking like Space Channel 5
And Marina remains one of the most pointless characters in the series

The Celestial Being movie trailer was pretty kickass in a tongue-in-cheek manner, though.

Just watched the first two episodes of AGE. Not horrible.

I just couldn't find any interesting action in a movie that was nothing but gundams spinning around dodging and shooting silver missiles for about an hour. It was some seriously boring ass "action"

I find the history of the nation wars far more interesting than the Emily/Flit moment and Grodek's past woooooh. =? I don't know I just found the whole episode to be alright.

I don't hate AGE... I don't really like it either. Everything about it has been just.... there... obviously have to wait to see where it goes.

AGE 3 was good. I'm enjoying AGE. I also really like the way the AGE looks. It's not Exia cool but still looks nice.
Don't ban me for that Duck.

I just finished watching the episode and my main reaction was "Where in the fuck did the Federation find that guy?" Jeezus, he gave the Byalant more justice than Jerid ever did in the entirety of Zeta.
It would be funny if it actually was Kou, though.

On that note,
the ruined White Base ship that some of the Zeon remnants were using looked a lot like the Albion.

Torrington base was the home base of...hteng said:
donkey show said:
well, it was his homebase during the start of the show but according to some wiki, by the end he was sent to North America's Oakley base.
but yea, it would be pretty awesome to see a middle aged kou kicking ass and taking names.
edit: uhhh found this... speculation time, spoilers obviously

Just saw Unicorn 3. The animation was INCREDIBLE but I think it's been too long between eps. I watched it and have no idea what was going on. Can someone give a story recap up to this episode? I honestly was confused
