Is it me, or does that Vagan Second Moon look like a giant side-view cross section of an eye? I’d judge this episode of AGE to be a step up from the last few, if nothing else for the way it framed the conclusion of the series in pretty stark […] Read more
This shocking news just in: Zaeheart lost another major battle. Film at 11. A couple of thoughts strike me as I reflect on this episode. First, how some of the things that annoy me about AGE haven’t really changed in 43 episodes. Second, how much Seric Abis is the unsung […] Read more
We went into this week’s AGE with two characters sporting more flags than the roof at the U.N., but surprisingly, neither one died. Honestly, when I called Girard Spriggan “a woman with a man’s name” I never intended it to be taken so literally. But that’s exactly what she is, […] Read more
Why do all the defections in this struggle seem to go in one direction? This wasn’t an especially interesting episode of AGE, not as compared to the last few anyway. With Kio’s new non-violent violence strategy established, this one was mostly about setting the pieces in place for the next […] Read more
So begins the “Three Destinies” Arc and with it, the home stretch for Gundam AGE. OP4: “AURORA” by Aoi Eir I just want to reiterate how depressing the situation is for Kio, and the humanoids of the solar system. The poles of influence in his world: A genocidal, hate-driven old […] Read more

It’s a near thing, and this was definitely a step back from last week’s series best, but I’m still hopeful that Gundam AGE may just have turned the corner. There was a lot of the same stuff in AGE this time that made the previous episode easily the best of […] Read more
At long last – for an episode at least – Gundam AGE has fulfilled its potential and become the series I always hoped it would be. This episode of AGE faced an obstacle for me that none of its predecessors had – high expectations. For the first time in 36 […] Read more
As always it’s a mixed bag with AGE – there’s some head-on-desk stuff here for sure – but on balance, this is the first ep in a while that makes me really curious to see what happens next. Mobile Suit Gundam AGE – 36 Firs things first – I think […] Read more
The idea that Ishihara might not be human actually explains a lot. Mobile Suit Gundam AGE – 35 Things are definitely getting interesting on AGE, as the pieces for what look like the last extended arc are falling into place. I’m once again struck by how emotionally tone-deaf Flit is. […] Read more
