For the first major fight in AGE i'm pretty dissapointed, the big UE ship didn't really do anything, hell, the UE didn't really do anything major except for the handcannon spamming. Spallow/Sparrow was pretty nice. Once again this major fight lacked good animated choreography, which is a huge downer. Good to see Grodek making up a good strategy. The parts combination was actually pretty nice, when i read that it changed parts in space i expected something bad, but that entire moment caught me by surprise, really good planning there, too bad some of that didn't go into the actual battle. Giving it a 6/10, expected more, once again it suffered from bad battle choreography and execution. |

But you are right in that the enjoyment factor is really turned down due to the fact that I find most of the characters incredibly dull. Unless some amazing characterization happens soon I don't see this as ever being a favorite anime series of mine. Usually all the series I love have characters I love as well. I like Woolf because he is amusing, but even he needs some major work in the character development department. But you never know...I've watched anime where I absolutely HATED the main character and then proceeded to watch that character grow and change and become a favorite of mine (Yoko from Juuni Kokki is a great example). There is always the chance that could happen here (though I don't hate any character in the series....I just don't care about them at all), though I get the feeling it won't...

I like to think that's very common. IMO a lot of shows have had success just with one super awesome character at the helm. Though the one character being a side character is kind of unlikely, unless there's heavy shipping in the waters. Of course the negative version of hating all but a single character is a whole different story.

No need to be provocative wing

If the federation doesn't exist the Diva wouldn't exist. Thus the federation exists. The stations are much more independent then what we usually consider a federation however. But since they are so far apart that's not an unrealistic state of affairs. They also have no choice but to manage themselvs, feed themselvs and so on, from the looks of things, so unlike something like an earth federation there's very little the federation has to do. Given the lack of an enemy/thread (the UE being more like ghosts in space) and the peace treaty resulting in 100 years of sitting on ones ass, it's no surprise the federation is more or less a federation in name only. At this point anyway. Quote:
As for AGE, they are fighting, shooting lazers at each other and high speed jousting and slicing pretty much counts as fighting. If you like it or not it doesn't really matter, it's nice when it's really flashy but it has no relevance on the plot.

Ohhhhh, this is just what you think based on a severe lack of context clues to rationalize the fact the show has given you almost nothing to go on in this area... Well that's what I'm doing too... Quote:

this episode will only make sense or get a better rating when we find out who the UE are.
let be realistic here, if a group is that smart and they can make suites that advance. they would have no problem killing off a bunch of units with only 2 of of lets say 50 can cause you damage. UE 1- hey they only have 2 unites that can kill ours, hmm should we just send everything at those 2 unies? UE 2- nope we will just let them do as they please also not that Disl(red head kid) was the one that started the fighting between the to factions |

Image James bond being surrounded by lets say, 10 Henchmen, all right? those 10 henchmen starts shooting at him, and he pulls up his good old walter PKK, he shoots one round, aims at another henchman, shoots another round, and so on. In the end, he manages to kill every single henchman, without moving or pretty much doing anything to evade. Take the same scenario but have him run for cover, shoot a few rounds, reload, aim, shoot at a random gas canister and struggle, but in the end come out in a somewhat good fashion with a bruise or two. That's pretty much the reason people are complaining, the fighting in AGE sofar have been lackluster, the settings is there, but the actual execution and choreography in the fights are lacking.

The Federation DOES EXIST in this series wingdarkness, or have not been watching the same series? They were in episode 5 when they tried to arrest Grodek, they were in the entire first freaking episode, and they're in the next episode and the episode after.
Federation = exist Quote:

Nosferatu...I am not saying that the federation doesn't exist in a literal sense...I am saying that in a story sense they have been given almost nothing in exposition to even take seriously the notion that they are a driving element in the make-up of this show... So in essence the writers having a character say "They couldn't spare any units", is saying to me that they are trying to cover their a$$ and or distract from the point that they haven't included anything worth a damn in the plot pertaining to the Federation (My own hypothesis is they don't give a $hit because this show is operating on a thinness that can only be found in a Listerine Breath Strip )...Basically, it rings hollow... So for me, if you're just gonna plow through the inadequacies of this script (that includes so much more than just the Federation part), then atleast budget the action for something that can be judged as great quality...These fights, IMO, are not of a high quality in neither plotting nor execution (Znozzy just perfectly depicted my feelings here)... I certainly enjoyed a scene here are there, but as a whole it's lacking...But the puzzling thing is that as a kid I would have found most of the battles in AGE not that impressive, so I'm trying to figure out why they are so bent on keeping the action understated yet not giving battles the depth that understated Gundam fights usually incorporate? (More relative realism, or some sort of military tactic, or just profiling the evolution of the pilots skills) It's weird, it's like they won't sellout in either direction...It's like a sitcom on CBS in theory...

Well....that's because they aren't. The Diva crew is pretty much a renegade ship acting on its own accord. They broke off the chain of the Federation. That's why you don't see them as a heavy part of the story.
