(Hey! Don't Stare!!)

While the first part of Gundam AGE had a pacing issue as it spent too much time with unnecessary fillers and had little time to devote to Yurin, I liked how the second part rectified it by finishing the introductory part in 3 episodes and there's going to be real battle between Asem and Zeheart from now on. Also, I noticed there were some significant improvement in the mecha battle scene in recent episodes.

It doesn't change that fact he want to become military so yeah it going to be a fight against Zeheart.
I doubt both of them really want to fight.

Romary seem also joined the military, seeing 2 friends fighting it together obviously sad to see.
Feel sorry.

Good episode thought the timeskip was big this time too haha.

I wasn't expecting Zeheart to reveal himself to Asem this early. I guess this arc is about "saving" Zeheart from the Veigan.

A blond kid trying to save his friend with a cool demeanor from the dark side, oh where have i seen this before. The fact that there's a love triangle doesn't help. If the leader of the Vegan has a thing for minors, then i'm dropping this series

In all seriousness i think the pacing for this arc was a little to fast. Kinda wished they could have had more development for the other characters, but i doubt we'll see them again. Oh well.

Was anyone as lost as i was in the beginning?

Overall, good episode. Again, the revealing was too soon. Next episode, everyone's getting on the White Base and we get the new 00 Raiser Gundam. Bet Bandai is really happy about that.And Char is going to be giving his speech as well. Hope he doesn't say he's going to drop something on the Earth.

I wish I could see it, I'm watching through Sage fansubs, and it would appear that their site is gone now because whenever I attempt to go to their site it takes me to an earthlink search saying that the site could not be found.

Maybe some sort of field trip? xD

I loved this episode I was expecting the reveal to come later on, but I guess not. Such a sad fate if they were not born as enemies they could have been great friends. Even if it has been done in the Gundamverse before I still find it sad. T_T

Can't wait to see what will happen next week AGE hasn't had a boring episode since the whole conflict between Zalam and Eurba from the first arc. Which is a good thing it keeps on improving in my eyes. ^_^ I really hope it stays this way.

Better than last episode.

Seems like second arc is better than first one. As a first, the characters are a bit more interesting.
bla bla bla
The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

i agree.. this really is shaping up into a better arc.. while nothing original compared to the previous Gundam series, it plays them well..
anyway, i'm thinking that in this second arc, we combine Gundam SEED (battle between friends), Gundam 0083 (main girl is significant to both protagonist and antagonist), the 00-Raiser+Zeta, Char clone, etc.. the only question now is whether Zeheart will live through this.. because seeing the third generation's brown hair already gives away something about Asemu and Romary in the future..

Well, have you thought of the possibility that the third protagonist is a illegitimate child born between Zeheart and Romary? Just like Zeheart, there isn't a guarantee yet that Asemu is going to survive through the second part of Gundam AGE.

Just thinking outside the box...

I really hope Zehart is a good Char clone. The setup that they gave his character can really make this a really entertaining arc. We can have a M-M-F love triangle between the mild slut, our hero, and the Char clone along with all of the "previous friends" drama. I really like how they made the characters adults as well..that opens up a whole new world of possibilities when it comes to drama.

This second arc truly is leagues better than the first. I am actually looking forward to AGE every week now.

it's in the character profile that the third generation is the son of Asemu and grandson of Flit.. i doubt they'd change that just for twists.. if anything, what's more possible if you want Asemu dead is that Asemu would die in the final battle only if prior to that, he had done something with Romary to ensure that the family line would continue (you know, those calm before the storm episodes).. but considering that this show is for kids .. .. ..

Hahah, I was thinking, "Did I skip an ep? Where am I?"

I'm a little surprised by the quick reveal. Asem's very easy to get along with, so this is a bit sad. Zeheart is obviously influenced by his classmates.

Also, freakin' finally, 18-year-old (or 17? or from 17) char graduates and enlists into military. That's how it works!

YAY! AGE-2 Strider next weekend!

Don't forget that Asemu has a sister if you want him dead as a sort of twist. Though that brings the question of who will be the spouse for that...

The reveal wasn't as good as I hoped. The Feds took what, 1 and a half years to track Zeheart? And along that time period, didn't the Vagans accomplish what they were aiming for, whatever it is? Did all they do is just exploit the gaping hole in the colony's security, and made Zeheart experience high school? Really weird.
Though the part where Zeheart questions Asemu's reason to fight is a good start I guess. Asemu is pretty much forced into this battle and I was hoping he'd get a reason to fight.
With Woolf returning and the AGE-2 appearing, I hope that things get in line as the direction feels off all of a sudden.

Best episode of the series by far, it finally resembled to a Gundam series. This second part has been much, much better than the first for now, and one aspect of it is certainly the upgrade in character development and simply the fact that the new characters are far more interesting than the previous ones.

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

"A kind person like you shouldn't fight."

LOL so you want him to be a coward?


This has got to be the most stupidest villains (the Martians in general) in recent Gundam shows.

Yay Decil is back I love him cause he reminds me of an innovator from Gundam 00. xD Now he gotten sexy can't wait to see him fight Asem and how Flit will react.

I think the reason why Flit spared him was because he was only 7 years old at the time, but now he is an adult so anything goes now he better watch himself.

I'm saddened Decil most likely won't make it past this generation though, but at least he will give me some eye candy and nice battles.

I don't think Zeheart is Decil's son I think he might either be a brother or perhaps cousin?

Just use your brain. Asemu is too kind to hurt someone he knows. Of course, he'll change and fight with Zeheart, but as he's now, he'd lose the fight with Zeheart each and every time.

Great episode. Also, first Gundam protagonist who doesn't get dragged into the battle, but joins it on his own will formally.

That's not being "too kind", that's being an actual, rational, thinking, human being, and not an instinct driven animal.

And emotions != instincts.

o-O; Asemu's kind and friendly. Look at Kira and look what compassion does in fighting. Zeheart's words are understandable. But sometimes, people who say that underestimate the potential of any warrior ^^;

I'm relieved by that new Desil art. In the last one, he didn't look that cool.

Well X-Rounder power is probably sourced by willpower or ability to protect like the Yurin arc.

This arc seems faster pace and good action.

Whoa wait wait..so..after 1 or 2 episodes of skipping like 20+ years, they skip AGAIN to like..a year and a half?

Dude don't pull stunts like that D| 20+ year time jump is one thing and bad enough but sdjfhbg\sg it confuses the living shit out of everyone. It was a good episode though, but it's like "..wait wtf happened and how long has it been."

AGE is just skipping all over the damn place x_x

Way faster than the first Age, but it skips again all the occasions to show the characters feelings for each other evolve -_-
Nice end but I was thinking: "so the Vegans just send one of their youngs study abroad, that's all?!"
