And Vargas not playing with the AGE Builder/System seems unlikely too, seeing how he couldnt hold himself from playing around with the AGE-1's arm in episode one. |

Hey though, as far as I'm concerned if the biggest complaint (or at least most repeated complaint that's actual just a nitpick in reality) that apparent haters can come up with is that the show has yet to address why the other suits haven't been shown to be upgraded yet while they're in the middle of running from the Federation, securing financial aid, building an army, fighting the UE and just generally being busy then the show must clearly be doing okay.

You give the Genoace the DOTS-Rifle, and it blows its own arm off from the recoil.
Great investment.

There does seem to be more than an internal power supply at work for the DODS Rifle--it does have to connect to the Gundam from the underarm, so chances are some of its power is from the Gundam itself, and not just whatever power pack. Yes, we saw one Genoace use it safely, but it also used it against a stationary rock to create a diversion, not against an enemy mobile suit. For the rest, see the arguments about the Genoace being a completely different machine; the AGE Builder would need to know more about it and more battle experience to properly design a weapon that it can use, if it is the case that the Genoace can't properly power or wield the DODS Rifle.
And as for the Genoace getting equipped with the Titus wear parts? While that was a nice gimmick for the models, we've seen in the show that at the very least, the arms connect differently from the models. To get that to work, they'd very likely have to partially redesign the Genoace, which I don't see happening, given the lack of resources.

I'd consider the custom to be well above the specs of your standard mass production model as it was probably not built on an assembly line. And rising dragon brings up a good point about the power supply required.

One thing I also think is worth bearing mention is that when it comes to technical specifications and how things work in the Gundam universe, only U.C and A.D really have anything hammered out into specifics and written in fanbooks while the rest of the series various technologies just tend to be defined by whatever is shown or listed in the model kit instruction booklets. In other words in order to find out any major specifics with regard to how AGE mecha work we'll probably have to wait till the details from the model kit booklets leak out and are translated into English.

Wolf in his case went out to get a better suit so at least he had motivation. I'm surprised Largan isn't spending more time tinkering with his suit to improve its perfomance and what not. Quote:
In Gundam Unicorn the Delta, which in itself is a powerful unit, snags and cracks a shot off from the Beam Magum and that damaged its arm (not blow it off) but crippled it. In Gundam Wing it's stated that if a Leo tries using the Dobergun from the Tallgeese that too would blow its arm off and we know how big a recoil that gun gives. In Age Gundam Woolf snags the Rifle and fires not one but several shots with just one arm. I don't see where this excuse "oh because it was a rock" has anything to do with the custom not being able to use it. He fired several shots and his suit was fine and those shots actually pierced the rock itself. Quote:

And i fully agree on the Genoace being a piece of junk, but the Diva has 3 mobile suits, it would be smart to have 3 useful mobile suits instead of 2, right? Performancevice the Genoace isnt that bad, it just can't hurt the UE at all, Largan seems to be able to handle his own, but he is pretty much fighting a brick wall with a feather, which is sad. Once again, the Genoace wouldnt blow its own arm off from shooting the Dods rifle, which Woolf showed in a previous episode when he fired the Dods rifle with nothing malfunctioning at all, the Genoace custom and Genoace use the same basic frame, from what we've been shown nothing is changed except the backpack and the top shoulder armor, its safe to assume the Genoace is capable of firing the Dods rifle aswell.

I don't hate this show, sofar i've enjoyed it. some episodes have been great, while some havent, its the same with every show you watch, you usually don't enjoy every single episode, but overall its a good experience, sofar i think AGE has been mediocre, nothing super good, but not something really bad either. Quote:
It seems like Largan is a completely wasted character sofar, except for displaying how kickass the UE is, AGE version of the Worf Effect? Quote:
There is a difference in opionions, i respect that. I'm not looking for chances to complain, some parts of the show hinders me from enjoying it, this is a place to discuss that. Quote:

How is it a nitpick when 1/3 of the main pilots arent able to do anything in his Mobile suit when the other two has useful ones? Quote:
having 1 out of the 3 Mobile suits being useless does bother me though. i don't want the Genoace to get some awesome übercannon that can rip holes in space and time, a Beam rifle or being outfitted with the Titus parts would be fine, just something to make him less useless. Quote:
And how is shooting at a rock and shooting at the UE different? your still shooting the same weapon Quote:
The AGE builder seem to have scarse resources, we know nothing about the Diva's supplies sofar, they seem to have restocked while they hanged around Mardona's factory(or before leaving Fardain) seeing how the AGE builder managed to build Spallow parts |

Enjoy the show, I've read many comments where people ignore both you and me and talk about shipping elements and what have you, so let the dissenters have there voice, because honestly you're like the only person in this forum that can't let it slide...You preemptively (if not passively) strike any essence of bad comments toward the show even when they don't really exist... Just talk about the show without all of the pre-smilicon passive-aggressive stuff you do every post...You start more $hit than I think you realize... Quote:

Also please stop trying to put thoughts in my head that I for a second buy into this rush to condemn the show. Just because I can see some flaws with it doesn't mean that that is all I can see, that's the key difference between me and some of the other posters here. Quote:

Perhaps Znozzy is just doing his own thing and giving voice to his personal concerns and doesn't have an agenda at all, but you betray yours and wear it on your sleeve and that's why I think we're going to continue to have a rocky relationship going forward at best. |

I believe what wingdarkness is trying to say is that there isn't that much depth to the writing. Gundam AGE is very light on the dialogue and quite easy to understand. Then again I do have a degree in Linguistics and Japanese so maybe I'm just biased, but compared to Unicorn, AGE reads like Dr. Seuss.

^Jesus Jenkins, I'm saying that YOU unlike many others, are allowing my comments to effect your experience (Like you are doing to boatloads of others)...Other members, each week, ignore my comments and talk about what they wanna talk about...Try it... I mean it's douchey because I watch shows for different reasons than a Moe-attic watches certain shows? That is what it is...I have anime fetishes aswell, just nothing that AGE highlights...I commend the people who just wanna enjoy a show for elements like that because they're getting fulfilled by something when that's all i want...
The only person that gets truly angry (I'm using logic here) probably knows in their heart of hearts I'm right... When I'm happy about stuff in Gundam (Like I was 85% of Gundam OO) I express that, and have many friends and people I'm cool with here, so your point is severely off...Again when I was on your side I didn't hear non of this $hit (All I heard from you was "I totally agree wingdarkness...", "Great point wingdarkness," now it's all "You suck wingdarkness..." WTFizdis? Why not ask a mod to let you create a "good times" Gundam Age champagne thread or something like that...I mean that seems to be what you want, some Gattaca $hit...I'm all for that, I'd stay out of it, but whatever my "agenda" may be, understand it comes from my natural reaction after an episode, and my honest inclination to never suppress opinion...

Guys, can you please chill out some?
It's ok to disagree with another opinion, but please try to do it without trowing jabs or looking down on other people. Any more of this "I know better than you" stuff will get some posts deleted or edited.

I'm not buying the whole younger demographic bullshit anymore. This show doesn't know what it wants to be. The gaping plot holes like using the AGE system to upgrade the Diva but not the Genoace are just the result of piss-poor story telling. There a lot more but it's pointless to go over them, you guys already know them anyway.
Flit isn't that much younger than most Gundam protagonists, and AGE so far has dealt with topics like war, loss of loved ones, romantic relationships, sacrificing for a greater cause. You don't see that in shows for 5-9 year olds... I get the impression that AGE doesn't know what it wants to be; it tries to apply to wide range of audiences and instead ends of being mediocre, if not just utter crap. Going by the art-style you'd think this is a light-hearted show, perhaps even a comedy if we look at the grandpa, Boyage,his two bodyguards, and the rainbow hair dude. Then the show tries to be serious by having these characters fight in a real war and die. The thing is though, any emotional impact their deaths could've had went out the window the moment they established them as jokes with their dialog and ridiculous designs.
