Kio learn how to fight more efficiently, running away from the enemy just mean you can predict their movements and you can prepare to attack or evade better, in dota game i think it was called juke or juking

Gundam AGE-3 Fortress has some heavy firepower, and looks like that pink haired teacher of Kio is a vagan spy from the impression i got on the next episode preview

Kios Arc really goes more "SUPER ROBOT!" then "real Robot", srsly, the docking just shouts "GETTER IN!".
Besides thats, its truly obvious whos gonna be the traitor.

The new upgrade looks very much like Seravee with a new paint job and it seems to function the same minus trans-am.

I am.. i want more scenes for her.. though she might get scolded by Granpa Flit next ep..

and i thought there's a new badass female character who is also very caring.. too bad she's probably the traitor..

Anybody else thought that Flit was going to help Captain Anus up after she fell down?

Really liking the female mentor of Kio. Hopefully she gets more development. For a minute I thought she was going to pull a Char and put the moves on Kio.

The traitor should have been obvious from the preview and this episode now.
And just when I liked the new character. And voiced by Paku Romi as well.
That Wootbit should just die though.
Okay episode. Kio is still being raised as Flit's perfect weapon but at least there are some who are still giving some talking about war and not to enjoy killing people.
Can't wait for Asemu to come back to be the one to convince Kio about it.

Someone should update the characters' list here in MAL. There's tons of characters missing from Gen-2 and there are new ones here in Gen-3.

Hope pink hair mentor/traitor isn't killed, first good looking character this entire show for me.

great, I shouldn't have watched the preview...
Servaee Age-3 Fortess finally shows up, that's a whole lot of firepower.
Just thinking, how come Wootbit identifies his last name as Gunhale? That's his mother (Arisa's) maiden name.
The way Age-3 swaps out parts in combat reminds me of Impulse for some reason.
"Fortress Maximus has come himself. Okay! Then I shall get Fortress Maximus to fight me, huh huh huh!"

i had a mecha nerdasm when the AGE-3 went OPEN GET to dodge the Phantom 3 attack

and this just hit me...
if Asem married Arisa will the future male Asuno children look like Dique/Wootbit?

Yup, I have the same feeling. I don't know how a series can manage to disappoint me so many times.... I still have my hopes up for the last 20ish episodes... or it could be cut short like Gundam X.

Woobit is Arisa's child.........Arisa's child.........Arisa's child..........so much disappointment was hoping for another cool chick. T_T

As soon as I saw that chick typing on the phone I was like yep spy. I liked the scene between her and Kio.

5/5 episodes keep getting better and better. =D

THIS was the episode that made you downgrade the rating? I could see the epilogue for Asemu's arc, and maybe even the last episode, but this one?

I'm confused too.

It would have been more understandable during the last episode of the second arc or during the Fairdain arc in the first generation, but THIS particular episode that was actually amazing and was interesting?

Honestly, at this point i'm just watching this series as a force of habit. The mistakes and failure of plot development is what keeps me entertained now really.

Pretending 00 was better? SEED wasnt that bad, Destiny just ruined it. Juts like 00, Second Season ruined it too. (OMYGOD, how many love pairings did they concentrate on, and to make thing worse, they throw in REAL aliens. Not like the one from AGE. and Setsuna goes immortal. ftw.)

I think the third Arc now totally ruins it. 1. and 2. Season were good, but suddenly Flit is trating Kio better because of X-Rounder Abbilities, Arisas son, no, just no. Killing Vagans with face who could have get development. Going totally the merchendise route.

Asemu > All other. I just wait for him to show up, srsly. Then this anime could get better again.

Everyone who complains about whiny characters, go watch Getter Robo. Mazinkaiser. Whatever.

Kio just got no real development/background-story. "I kill Vagan because their bad people, they arnet even people!" *Flit strokes Kio head* Seems legit.

Oh god, so much hate to AGE from me? o_O

Believe me, the original SEED series writing is light years ahead of AGE...

Oh well. Opinions. Although the level of objectiveness differs.

The fact that I am re-watching the original SEED remastered series at the same time as AGE makes the comparison even more glaring. SEED wasn't "wasn't that bad". It was not bad at all. Most of the time, vocal haters and pseudo-elitists think it's bad.

About 00, the aliens was not the failure of 00. The sloppy plot development was. That was one of the poorest attempt to copy Issac Asimov's Foundation series I have seen. They focused too much on the action and not enough on the SF aspect. Essentially, they only scratched the surface.

Enough of other Gundam series. This remains an AGE discussion thread.

I don't want to get into an argument about the quality of SEED (And really it's my fault anyway, I shouldn't have brought it up) but you shouldn't throw out terms like 'objectiveness' if you don't know what they mean.

I could type out a long list of things that I feel are wrong with SEED from a plot standpoint and even more about the god awful characterization and I've seen many other people say similar things about the show over the years. Likewise, there's plenty of people who think SEED is great from a writing standpoint (Though I have no idea why.)

Neither of those would be objective; they'd be subjective based on the person's opinions and tastes. An objective observation would be like saying that SEED has a lot of stock footage or that Destiny recycles entire scenes from SEED (Objective facts that can be supported with things like videos and screenshots).

Anyway, that's all I've got to say on the matter. I'll stay on topic from this point on.

Wootbit, you fat bastard!

Shanalua is schizophrenic. She hates war and fighting, but joins the military to fight in a war, and teaches Kio how to survive in battle. She understands that even the enemy has a family, but engages in war with her Mobile Suit to kill the enemies that have familes. Figure that one out.

Alisa's son appearance was a surprise : only female descendants have a chance to not look like Dique xD
Slightly disappointed by those Tri-Stars clones. One was already killed.
The AGE-3 new mode... the more it will be used, the less the action scenes will be interesting.
This episode moral: too much video game prevents you to grasp the reality of the war. Especially funny when you were born in the middle of a conflict.

edit: I recognized Fraw and her three brats instantly during the first episode and I was not wrong, why did they put that in? There is no need for comic relief in this series.

Shanalua is a very interesting character, the problem Is that in the Gundam franchise, being interesting is a Death Flag.
