On the other hand, AGE offers something different, new potential for the franchise, interesting story hook and it's something I hadn't seen before.

Still, pretty nice stuff to look forward to.

I somewhat agree that it is a story done and told a billion times in games, movie, anime, novel format...but....BUT this is too awesome.

They highlight the human drama a lot more in Origins, gives a much more interesting backstory to the development of Mobile suits, the origins of zeon, char's history...there's a lot more in this than anything else, assuming this is going to be a faithful adaptation that is.

I can't wait, the action is going to be so awesome too, judging how they portray action in Origins, scene by scene camera by camera, makes it feel so visceral and intense a bit similar to Gantz in terms of presentation (not violence, although there is a bunch of gore in origins too). God this is crazy...

What are they going to do with Bright!?!?!?!?!
