Then there was Zehart, who became heir-apparent just because Ezelcant told him to. Truly a disciple without a spine and a fool. However, speaking of people dying... there are many who escaped karma. Lets not forget, the man who sold Yurin out, I assume he is still living large in his extravagant estate. Oh, how about the former Prime Minister of the Federation? His acts was treason, and in most circumstances, he would have faced the firing squad. But no, the show did not detail what happened to him, except hinting that he was arrested. If there was anyone who did not deserve to die in the series, it was Yurin. She was the only character without blood on her hands. Then again, if she didn't die, we wouldn't have a motivation factor for Flit now, would we? It amazes me just how this little girl became the sole motivation for the Federation military buildup under Flit, and his subsequent advancement of Gundam development. Love can be a scary thing indeed. - Tak (Poor poor Emily, and poor Aya Endo)

- I agree, 00's ending was much better. In my opinion, 00 did everything better. In my opinion it had better story, better characters, better animation, better action. I did enjoy AGE though. I thought it was alright even though the whole series required more "continuity." The chopped up chunks would have fit in together better if we got a sense of what happened in between the years or if Flit was just focused on throughout the whole thing. - I thought Flit didn't come off as a genocidal bastard. He came off with as someone with genocidal thoughts due to his childhood and lifelong traumas. He saw his whole family murdered. He pulled himself into a war at young age motivated by revenge. His father figures were murdered. He saw his second home colony destroyed. His childhood friend was kidnapped and used against him in battle. He witnessed his own side act like scumbags. In the end, he always stood for something his whole life and that is why he didn't annihilate the martians. - Ezelcant gave his people a reason to fight, advance their technology. His people were screwed over by the Earth. They were sent there to colonize Earth and abandoned. This made them a bunch of hardworking, industrious, and angry hardasses. Ezelcant was born on the Martian colony to people who were screwed over by Earth. It was a series of screwed up events that forced Ezelcant into his extremism. |

Earth... inspired by Japan and its allies Isolated country pissed off at other country over something that happened decades ago. Vagan... isolated culture. Ezelcant is king/dictator. He was probably the son of the previous dictator. - Vagan life is hard. Very hard lifestyle being Vagan. - Vagan have limited resources - Ezelcant is seen as glorious leader who has kept them alive through hard times. |

Unlike the rest of his people, he thinks that human nature is at the heart of all suffering... not just Earthlings. The first part of his plan is revenge... his plan after that revenge is what he has convinced himself makes revenge worth it. He's supposed to be a really smart, complicated guy with a lot of weight on his shoulders. He's multi-dimensional... wants revenge and more. |

But yeah Yurin really was the one who didn't deserve what happened to her. Though can say she helped Flit take down a couple of Vagan units so not completely clean . Though yeah just used to drive Flit up a wall. He'd lost so much and in the end he saw evil (thanks Decil) take away the girl he loved. With Decil as an example it pretty much set up Flit for which part of humanity he'd be a savior for.

I am finally glad this terrible series is over. A Gundam series that is so bad, you can proudly say that Seed Destiny is no longer the worse.
As for the whole premise of the show, i think it work out as a game, but as a show, the execution went out poorly in everyway. I think the this show probably would get less hate, if it has a more appealing character design and perphaps having the show split into two generation instead of 3. My feeling of watching Gundam Age. |

I REALLY think most of you guys are OVERREACTING! This show has followed many many Gundam Tropes. Kill em all Tomino Style used then People get to repent after doing evil and live in harmony. If you seen many a AU Gundam then you shouldn't be suprised. Have you seen the ending of Char's Counterattack? Rose Colored Glasses for the past! Come'on! I enjoyed this Show and I'm going to miss it. Could somethings be tweaked? Of course what show doesn't have that?

I hope the next Gundam series doesn't target kids. If Bandai want kids that badly, just air SD Gundam comedy separate from the main series. |

Finally ! I'm glad this series over.
I barely posted anything about this Gundam saga. It had a few moments, but not compelling enough to keep my attention for long. I liked some of the Mobile suits used in the series... but that's it. Neither the story nor the characters interested me. At first, I was very curious about the UE (Unknown Enemy), but once they were revealed as the Vagans (hope I'm spelling this right)... I lost interest too. The concept of three generations displayed on 49 episodes was interesting at first, when it was mentioned. But seeing it now... it's too fast. Not enought time to explore side characters. Side characters were literally tossed aside. They pop-up, were given a short back story, then they die or something else. I'm sorry, but Gundam AGE was a dissapointement to me. Can't wait till the next series. |

As was other collaborators. If that is the fate of traitors to the Federation then Shanalua had no reason to believe that the system would be lenient on her. Despite pleas of Kio that his grandfather can work something out. Of course Shanalua wouldn't believe that... It's Flit Asuno that led the purge. In the end Kio can't convince anybody not to shoot but his grandfather. Considering the war was all but won by the Federation in name I find it dubious that the Vegans probably got a ceasefire or a conditional surrender. Something that Japan wanted for the end of the Pacific war. Of course we knew the US and its allies would accept nothing but an unconditional surrender. I don't think Gundam Age's writers got the message of MS Gundam that a genocidal state has to be defeated. Remember Tomino lived through the aftermath of Japan's surrender. Recognizing his country's old leaders and its allies were card carrying villains. Flit may have forgiven the Vegans but in the interest of justice war criminals should be tried for war crimes. The biggest war criminal of them died without a single regret. I find that a disturbing message Gundam Age is trying to convey. |
