On Friday, producer Masakazu Ogawa announced on the official
Twitter account for Mobile Suit Gundam AGE that production on a new project
featuring the characters Asemu Asuno and Zeheart Galette has
"finally" been green-lit. Ogawa did not specify what kind of project
it is, or even if it is anime.
In light of the announcement, designer Michinori Chiba drew
a new sketch on a sheet with Japanese animation registration holes.
Ogawa had mused in September about a possible story focusing
on the characters' days as students. In November 2012, Ogawa and Chiba released
a rough sketch to the official Twitter account that was used to introduce the
characters for a possible new project.
In the AGE anime, Asemu was the main character of the second
generation with Zeheart as his antagonist. The television series premiered in
October of 2011, and it ended on September 23, 2012, shortly before Ogawa
mentioned the tentative plans.

better not be total shart like the rest of the age series was.
ReplyDeleteGREAT!!!!!
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work Sunrise.It's been 2 years since the announcement of Origin anime and we dont have a single update from that day.Yet the worst Gundam anime ever created gets expanded......
Age was not the worst Gundam anime ever, it's still ahead of destiny. at least it still seems to be involving Asemu an Zehart who were good in the second generation.
DeleteComparing it to Destiny does not help, if not the worst then probably the second worst, either way, it still will be one of the two worst gundam series, ever.
DeleteI don't see why age is so bad, it's just for a younger audience.
DeleteAge got hit from every angle possible before its release: Older fans hated it because of its character design, MS fans hated it because the suits looked weird, animation buffs hated it because it's not Unicorn budget, and UC fans hated it because it's not UC (lol). No matter which way you look at it, Age never stood a chance.
DeleteObjectively speaking Age is not a horrible show (especially compared to all the moe/high school crap). It started out with good intentions and you can see that in late gen-1 and the beginning of gen-2. It's just the writer's lack of experience juggling different plot threads turned the final arc into a mess even by kids show standards.
Well I'm thankful for age as it got me into gundam :D no matter how horrible it was to others, and like that guy said, it's for a younger audience.
DeleteEven for a kids show, its still pretty horrible.
DeleteSorry, AGE is a horrible show, i went in with a open mind, saw the first 3 episodes, then i saw the fourth, it was horrible. i saw the show with my 12 year old brother and he thought it was horrible aswell, nothing made sense, we saw all episodes and the show only kept getting worse, Gen 1 was bad, Gen 2 was ok, Gen 3 was good until they went to space, then the show flat out made no sense anymore.
DeleteSecond moon being able to move to earth on its own accord
Ezelcant dying happily
Sid?
Vagan gear?
Kio even mattering?
Girard Spriggan
Hints at rivalty between Zeheart and Monkey Dude.
The show is full of plotholes, bad execution, bad story, horrible character development (girls being vagina machines, nothing else), characters disregarded for no reason instead of being reused during the generation skips.
Oh, and not to mention the most retarded " Evil " plan in all history.
NOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo
ReplyDeleteHaters gonna hate :D
ReplyDeleteAGE haters are more annoying then the SEED and 00 fanboys combind
DeleteNah, Wing fanboys are the worst if only by sheer numbers
DeleteWing fanboys are that bad?
DeleteOh yeah, definitely! There's still a huge segment of fans who insist Wing is the best thing since sliced bread. Granted the community's cooled down quite a bit but you still see many Gundam-related articles/videos being bombarded with comments like "Gundam Wing is the best EVAR!"
DeleteCan't handle the truth? Gundam Wing is the best EVAR!
Deletewhy?! its not worth it!!!!
ReplyDeleteI only watched the anime as it was part of the Gundam franchise and damn I was disappointed
Why work more on this awful series?!?
Bandai trolling us
Deletei think its more sunrise trolling us but yh i agree that we are getting trolled!
DeleteThis has been announced year ago, with the exact same word.
ReplyDeleteWho knows this time they might just make a series good out of Gundam Age.
ReplyDeletewhat you are saying is impossible. the first three are shit, and you say the latest will suddenly will be good? Even if they make a good one, the first three left a really bad impression on lots of people out there.
DeleteWhat is Stargazer?
DeleteWhat is Age-fag?
DeleteThat would only be possible if they change half of this AU's history with this new project.
DeleteWhat Age needs most is better writing. Get a more experienced writer to do the script and we get a good series/manga/whatever.
ReplyDeleteBut yeah I do question Bandai's logic of continuing one of their worst commercial failures. Then again it was their idea to turn something which should have been a video game into an anime. Just goes to show some corporate executives have no idea what they're doing or too blinded by their ego.
no wonder they say that the gundam fanbase is the worst. People bashing everything that is not of their favourite series, and creating flame wars of hate and what not on things we are here just to enjoy. So you all, shut your traps and enjoy what was put out! What a shame that the fans of a show that promotes peace and harmony is the drive for hate wars like this.
ReplyDeletePeople go way to far to just bash series they don't like. If you didn't like Gundam Age don't watch this new one when is it comes out. It's not necessary for people to get bratty just because you don't like something. You give rational Gundam Fans a bad name.
DeleteTotally agree. i quit watching gundam AGE during the kio arc cos i don't really like it, but i keep my comments to myself instead of bashing the anime in places like here. please be more mature and think before you guys start commenting anywhere. it will help the community better! =)
DeleteThis is actually pretty exciting news.
ReplyDelete1. they now have more time to release the rest of the Age MG's
- Age-1 Gransa
- Age-2 Normal Special Forces
- Age-2 Double Bullet
- Age-3 Normal
- Age-3 Orbital
- Age-3 Fortress
- Age-FX
- Age-FX Burst
b. they can finally expand on the story
- i suspect we're gonna see some more story on Asem and what he was doing from when he left Kio to when he made his reappearance as the Bisidian leader
So, this is not a wishlist anymore? You just decide what MGs need to be made now? I swear, all the crap out of your mouth is either complaints about trivial nitpicky stuff like stickers or what MGs you, in all your greatness, decide that need to be made. And you just run with it and repeat ad nauseum until ppl kick you of every place just because they can't stand you anymore and because said places actually become better places after you're gone You're just an obsessive box buyer, that knows ZERO about what gunpla or gundam really means, and buy kits because that somehow makes you feel important, and even goes to the point of calling people jealous and blame the hatred you get on jealousy. You should be ashamed of yourself
DeleteP.S: Now go ahead and play the victim, correct my spelling, make some attempt at humour or be generally arrogant like you always are, just adds to your shame
I hope i can see an MG 1/100 Suitonfag with a pathetic coatin resin kit and fag fx shit burst mode add on
DeleteOh god please shut up already Suiton. Your lists are downright inane, annoying, and unneeded. And for all your blather about what kits they should do you don't even cover brand new suits that never got kits, like the Khronos and whatever the hell Fram piloted in the last few episodes. They deserve kits more than crap like Age2 Special Forces Custom, which you could have already if you spent less time whining on this blog and more time learning how to paint, which would also produce better looking kits as well.
DeleteLol they should release MG Gurdolin just for you suiton.
DeleteExpanding Asemu's story from G2 to G3 is called Memories of Sid Suiton. I know Hino wanted to expand Asemu and Zeheart's school days, so if that is what this is, then its going to be so boring
Deletepukimak tai palat sial kau ni.
ReplyDeleteSome shits that you've mentioned already announced, you dickhead. Just die with your wishlist, motherfucker.
Whoah, lek lek bro. Easy with the swearing. But yeah, this is some shit announcement.
DeleteSorry dude, but I'm swearing to SUITON, who comment above me, the damn fool maggot.
Deleteyeah you must be new on this blog. everybody hates sution/nike
DeleteWell on the positive side, now they can rip off more of the old series' aesthetics and plots!
ReplyDeleteleast they didnt make another god damn Titans ripoff again
DeleteActually Flit's genocidal purge between 2nd and 3rd gen was exactly that.
DeleteSuiton, how does it feel to be the most hated person in the gunpla community?
ReplyDeleteIf we get a HG Kronos out this I'm game
ReplyDeleteAGE has already score a new low than Gundam X, are there any redemptions in this one?
ReplyDeleteYes, they are called: Flit Asuno, Woolf Enneacle and Grodek Ainoa.
DeleteWoolf is clearly to manly for this series, and Grodek's manliness clearly make G1 shine.
DeleteI think the second arc was the best of the show. Shame it had all those time skips so it would fit in with the other arcs. This is probably going to be a manga thing or very unlikely a OVA short. No way this is some new series. Age ended, time to more on to something else. #reasonablecomment
ReplyDeleteThis hasn't even come out yet and people are already beginning to hate.. it may be a lot better or it may still be "bad" like the ending of the series.. we don't know yet..
ReplyDeleteI liked the 2nd Age arc a lot... I'd love to see more supa piloto so I won't mind whatever they give us...
ReplyDeletejust as long as they don't ruin it... :3
Instead of Asemu, I wish they did Flit between gen 1 and gen 2. Flit was so incredibly badass at the end of 1st gen I want to see him in his prime as a soldier piloting the Age-1 Razor (seriously that thing needs to be animated!).
