And the sad thing is that I can totally see this happening. Then again, the way the show has gone lately it could very well end up worse :/.

Yeah, with Flit and Yurin before she bit the dust.

I'm wondering if any AGE units will ever show up in the Gundam VS. series or Super Robot Taisen or if everyone involved will pretend this never happened.

AGE has already shown up in G Generation games, so I'm sure they will at some point.
SRW works in pretty much everything, they even get Manga stuff in with Crossbone and the like, it will most certainly have AGE at one point.
VS. Yeah it will have it as well, if they can have 4 suits for Amuro/Kira/Setsuna and multiples for other leads like Heero/Shinn then they will be able to fit in Flit/Asemu/Kio at one point.

With SRW at least there's the hope that they might be able to improve AGE story-wise.

They improved SEED Destiny's storyline, which pissed of Fukuda. Heh.

Is there a write-up as to what they exactly changed?
I gotta say I wasn't really impressed with any of the MS designs when the AGE HG kits started kitting the shelves. But a few weeks ago a new HG AGE-3 Orbital kit came out and it looks pretty good. I may buy.

Also the latest issue of Hobby Japan came with an AGE-1 Razor conversion kit. Now I'll have to buy an AGE-1 kit too.

In Z, it was mainly everyone acting way less retarded thanks to the good group of characters they had around them if you ask me.
The influence of Amuro and Quattro on the Destiny cast was pretty noticeable, especially Quattro on Athrun. Also, Kamille and Setsuko (real robot main character) being Shinn best buddies helped keep him in check and providing him some well needed help.
Best part to me was definitely the way the whole cast (not just Destiny's) looked down on the Archangel : for some of them, they were plain morons who didn't knew what they were doing. Which they always, but without anyone to tell them in the series. Their arrival in the group near the end is pretty rough at first, especially some parts like Shinn and Mwu meeting. It's SRW so of course everyone ends up playing nice though.
Also, if you fulfill certain conditions or are on your second playthrough, you can get Shinn to actually act on his own and decide to stay on the good guys side, which triggers a totally different endgame. Luna stays with him but the Minerva goes back to ZAFT as planned, and Ray with them, cursing Shinn's betrayal.
Dunno about the "normal" route, but on the one Shinn's stays with you, Destiny's final stage is merged with Zeta movie's. Notable change is Haman siding with you on that route, so no Neo Zeon in the mix.
There aren't that much change if you ask me, it's pretty standard SRW changes, but it automatically works better, thanks to a better environment. Like how Evangelion cast was more likable in SRW@ thanks to the interactions with other characters IMO.

Interesting stuff, especially with Shinn. I'm working on Z2-1 right now with Z2-2 waiting, but I'd still like to play Z1 at some point
Thought you were cooler than this DS.

I just decided to start ZZ Gundam, and what the FUCK is that first episode? Did they accidentally air the station pitch video? Holy crap. How can you run out of budget before the first episode even airs? I'm literally watching a toy commercial.
Seriously though, anyone know why they decided to do that? I'm going into ZZ with a pretty open mind, just expecting a great deal of silliness. I imagine it can only get better after episode 1,though.

ZZ = garbage
This man is a liar and a heathen.
Honestly though the first part of ZZ does have it's issues. However after a while it does kick in and Judau is an amazing lead when the series actually decides to develop him beyond the I Hate Adults bullshit he starts with.
Also ZZ itself is fucking amazing. My favorite UC mobile suit with only Nu, Unicorn, Delta Plus and Sinanju really coming close in my mind.

Eh, like TruePrime says, it starts out rough in the first 1/3 of the series, but it makes up for it afterwards. Although... never forget Moon Moon. :S

What are you talking about? Moon Moon was great. It's like Bright got to star in his personal adventure movie.
Nah, it only starts out as garbage. As the series goes on and things develop, it turns into merely a bad show.

Agreed. Also, having more Haman-sama is always a good thing.

One thing about ZZ that I'll never accept is Beecha being the pilot of the Hyaku Shiki. Completely unworthy.
I have mixed feelings about ZZ. I don't really like the beginning since it fails horribly at following Zeta's ending, but will totally recognize how it got better progressivly. In the end though, too many stupid things came to bite it in the ass for me to find the whole package really "good" (
)
There are definitely things I liked in ZZ though, like Judau and Haman's relationship (
), Judau become a really likeable and down to earth lead (hard to think he's only supposed to be 14...) or some designs.
But I put it pretty low on my Gundam series ranking list.
Neo-Zeon idiots, be in Glemy or Mashmyre; Moon-Moon return but with DRAMA; kids hijacking the Nahel Argama and winning by themselves...

I do like me some Full Armor, but not quite as much as the normal ZZ.

I liked Seed, its my 2nd favourite Gundam series(altough I watched only 3, 00 being the best) but embrace yourself for a lot of childish drama and... Kira :/

One of keys to enjoying SEED is being able to wade through all of the Flay bullshit.
There is no enjoying SEED. Only surviving.
The main problem with Seed is that once it has been watched, you have to face Destiny.
No, no you do not. We are beings with free will! We can say no!
It's easy to make these mistakes in ones youth. You think it can't be that bad, until you watch it.

I'm about 12 episodes into ZZ, and I'm actually kind of enjoying it... The enemies are buffoons, the animation quality is bad, and the kids are a bit annoying, and the political drama is gone and the action sequences aren't great, but it's kind of funny. In a sort of embarrassing way...
It's going to become a bit worse until it becomes better. I quite enjoy the latter part of ZZ. It's great to have a non-whiny lead for once.
Unless you are a dirty Seedlover anyways. There are several in this thread. I will not name names.

I enjoyed SEED. You can suck it. All night. Forever.

Turn A is kind of awesome. Didn't think it was going to be this good, though I know there is some love for it on here. Like any series it has a few annoying characters (Lt. Poe, Sochie, though she has gotten better) and some awful designs, but I'm loving the story so far. Dianna, Kihel, and Harry are all pretty great characters.
And SEED is cool. Destiny, not so much.
