Finally the last episode. I wonder how they will wrap up everything in just 1 episode.

[3 hours 40 minutes until available on youtube]

I have some catching up to do! I'm still somewhere at episode 40.:p

Time to camp out on these forums until spoilers come in.

See ya guys later, if anyone wants me I'll be on the main page of the subforum pressing F5 every three seconds.

Hahahaha! What the F did I just watch!
Flit turned into Lacus Clyne!
And his hate towards disappeared in a minute or so when he has been hating them for decades.
Man, it might have been better to end it last episode instead after Zeheart's death and then making Vagan surrender.

And Kio killed when he was blabbing about no-kill policy even when his comrades were getting killed.....
This is one of the worst ending in Gundam history....
And Kio became Setsuna. The savour of humanity......

How was the final Vagan boss?

Horrible. you get a nice 3 gundam team up for a minute, but then it runs off as Flit picks up the plasma nuke and goes EXTERMINATE. (YAY!)

The socalled fusion with Vagan gear (lol@ the name, yes, vagan gear) and Shido was retarded, Shido randomly flies in and combines with him. (BLEH!)

Yurin X-Rounder-Lacus-Clynes rapes Flit and Flit goes SAVE THEM ALL in a matter of moments. (MEH!)

Everyone teams up to save second moon except Vagan gear Shido who shoots at everyone. (Boo!)

Kio goes SSJ3 and finishes it (Boo)

Peace and understanding thanks to the EXA-DB and AGE-System. Flit gets a statue (ok)

Overall the episode was really rushed, silly and left me with a empty hole on the inside.

Retarded ending. Destiny's was better.

Where exactly killed Kio someone this episode? :eyebrow: I certainly didn't see him killing anyone, he stayed true to his policy.

Wait. I thought he died. Let me rewatch it.

Edit: Didnt he die after Vagan-gear became in half because of the explosion? At 18.32 along with the reactor or whatever it is.

Well that's...diappointing. I was hoping at least that detail would be changed.

A guy who goes about killing his own people and enemies all to stop them from saving his fellow people in mass deserves to live?

Kio, you little douche...

Yup. Kio killed him.
Kio's no-kill policy was just rubbish. If he was so stubborn about his policy that he doesnt care if people like Seric dies. But he ended up killing. Even if it was to save second moon, he could have just destroyed shido-vagan-gear without damaging its cockpit or something.....

General thoughts of the episode.

Well, it wasn't bad, but not exactly good either. Not that there was anything inherently wrong with it, but I think that was honestly the most corny thing I have ever watched. Even the music was corny, well, besides the ever awesome AGE-FX theme tune (the sooner the final soundtrack comes out the better).

As usual Flit was the highlight of the episode, and Kio made me want to turn off. Luckly Flit's the one with the statue and not Kio.

Don't know why but I still liked this episode, so 8/10. I guess I'm a sucker for corny things sometimes, or maybe I'm more just refusing to accept it was bad since I've spent 24 or so hours of my life on the series as a whole.

If I were you I will wait for the complete detailed ending in the novel, since that one is considered as a complete version of AGE.

It's a damn good thing I don't watch Gundam for the story or characters. That's a plus if they're good, but normally it's neutral to me. I still feel a bit let down. But I won't let it get to me.

Ugh, I knew this wasn't going to be a good ending...so let's get the negatives out of the way:

--Flit truly turned into Lacus 2.0, I saw it coming :/ I wanted to punch Kio when he smiled after Flit's "save them all" speech.
--Wendy...? Who are you and why do I care?
--Rushed, seriously that Fardain arc could have been cut out in favor of at least another, well planned finale.
--Kio still preaching...for god's sake.
--Final boss introduced on the last episode...only AGE could do that.

the good stuff:
--Yurin's talk with Gen 1 Flit...D'AWWW Yurin D:
--Also, seeing Grodek and Woolf one last time...brofist
--I liked how the Vagans and Federation worked to defeat Zera Gins, even if it was predictable as hell
--Obviously the three heroes would work together, but seeing it in action was nice
--Pretty nice prologue...damn Kio you AGEd pretty badly. 100 Years really did happen.

Spoiler for my thoughts, a bit long:

Overall....ugh. I don't know what attracts me to the Gundam franchise but I'll keep coming back, even if there's AGEs along the way. Music was good, but nowhere near the level of epic of past Gundam OSTs (Seed/Destiny, 00..) but certain tracks like the very first one and Asemu's theme were memorable. Art was poor, but at least the MS fights didn't get (too) affected by the cheap budget. I do appreciate how bold the idea was to have three protagonists/three generations, but in actual practice it really bombed: characters were introduced, thrown aside like rag dolls and a new crop of almost similar characters (think Gen 1 Diva crew -> Gen 2 -> Gen 3) pop up. Don't get me started on the treatment of females...many Gundam series have a similar idea that women are either cannon fodder or baby makers, but AGE really cranked that up to eleven. Instead of three generations, I think two would be a much better number: more time for character development and a greater appreciation of the supporting characters, but still the way this show was handled..as expected from the creators of Inazuma Eleven and Danball Senki: it tried to appeal to kids...failed. At the same time, older UC-era fans were already downplaying it's existence, leaving us lone wolves to seek out something special. Of course, that really never happened. I just hope Sunrise learns a valuable lesson: never let a kids company try to make a new Gundam show. AGE had some really big highs, but even deeper lows..I'll miss waiting Sundays at 2:00 AM here in California getting proxies and wanting to know what'll happen, because as I stated above there's just something that makes me keep coming back to the Gundam franchise and at this point, I can consider myself to be a big fan of the franchise having finished the original and halfway done with Zeta, just need to finish Unicorn and the others which shouldn't take too long.

I wanted to like AGE, much like I wanted to like Eureka Seven: both mecha, both roughly same length and both attempting to be creative. E7 worked a bit better because it's supporting cast was really interesting and the overall production values were great, heck even better than some recently aired series. AGE had none of those traits, and I gave E7 a 5/10 and I have to give AGE a 4/10: The absolute highlights were Woolf's death, Yurin's death, last episode's deaths...notice a trend? Yeah. I'll miss this show somewhat, but mainly because it had the potential to be so much more and blew it every chance it had, the rare times it even got a chance.I hate to admit it, but the haters were pretty spot on.

Honestly, the battles wasnt good either, minus that 1minute 3gundam vs Vagan Gear part.
