I'd watch it. I think it's a part of the story that could be expanded, so long as there's more of an arc than Asemu's arc overall.

Maybe a chance to see Asemu using the other AGE-1 Wears?

Interesting stuff. I wonder if it will be another manga? Or maybe something silly, like a Gundam AGE Soda. Vanilla Woolf!

Whatever the reveal turns out to be, February 20th is going to be quite the day.

More specifically, an announcement regarding the Asemu and Zeheart project discussed in the opening post.

While the soda suggestion was obviously a bit of joking around on my part, I was being serious when I pondered aloud if it would be a manga (different from the rest in that it would have staff involvment, as was done with Gundam Wing's Episode Zero), if only because of the specific comments of it not being confirmed as an anime, and the wording of presenting their story in "some form." That's all that comes to mind for me, anyway. I figure either that or a radio drama seem like the most realistic options.

Lord knows I wouldn't mind a 1-3 episode OVA series that tossed in some flashbacks to the year and a half we missed between the two of them. Hell, I'd even take a short OVA film akin to what was done for Red Frame/Blue Frame at this point. I suppose I'm just trying to keep my hopes in check.

Considering how bad AGE did in the ratings, I would be very surprised if it's an anime project of some sort. Not that I mind a new anime.

Kyosuke called it, it's a suped up special edition.

Gundam Age: Memory of Eden will be a compilation of the TV series focusing on the relationship of Asemu and Zeheart. As such, it'll start at Asemu's chapter and continue on to the end of the series.

Here's what Anime News Network is saying about the staff:
Quote:
 
Gundam AGE episode director Shinya Watada is helming Memory of Eden at Sunrise with episode writer Noboru Kimura in charge of scripts. Other returning staff members include story supervisor Akihiro Hino, original character designer Takuzō Nagano, character designer Michinori Chiba, and musical composer Kei Yoshikawa. The project will reunite several of the cast members, including Takuya Eguchi as Asemu and Hiroshi Kamiya as Zeheart.

consensus seems to be that Flit's arc was the best one in AGE, so i guess it makes sense not to touch it

Or maybe the Khronos will finally see a HG 1/144 release.
It would save me some time, money and effort from kit-bashing the AG Khronos with the HG Zeydra.

I thought Japanese thought second gen as the best?

======

If they can't handle a full Gundam season right, a compressed version of an already compressed show would probably handle even worse. As far as I'm concerned, they'll just need to re-do everything after Kio got captured and things would be decently fine.

I can understand things from a business perspective though. Most of the investment in AGE has already been done. Since this is a compilation, it would help recoup some of that money back. The extra scenes are probably predicted be less costly than the money expected to be recouped from sales, which may help put a little dent on reducing the losses though there's still risk they may not even recover the extra costs the new scenes. I guess they're going with the "sunk costs" thing.

Looking forward to it, I suppose.

I wonder if they'll just throw some Dorado at the Swordia, or if they'll bring in one of the Vagan game units as well.

Over 1 hour of new footage! Expect 2 minutes battles though...

Anyone want to bet which of the PSP game Vagan units will appear in this one?

I have to say, I started out ambivalent but the recent announcements actually have me interested in the project.

I still think the final Legilis fight was basically fine as-is, even if they only did it that way because they were rushing.

So they will improve 2 battles: Dark Hound vs Legilis and Age 2 SP vs Sid. Plus the Swordia Wear being used.

Hoping for more G-Bouncer action

This. Because it showed how stupid Legillis was in that you can **** it up by just taking out the left arm.

i wouldn't mind seeing a more drawn-out, dramatic version of the Dark Hound/Legilis fight, but the idea that Zeheart had flipped his shit so hard that he couldn't even see straight and so got curbstomped by someone who still had his sanity could still work with that.

Wait a moment this is just a dirty shop of the anime scene where Legilis debuts with Ezelcunt, this means we're getting Legilis R for the final battle with Asemu? Since the tweet mentions this image is just for reference.

If so, that's cool

I'll be the minority here and say pink Legillis looks like crap. But then again "Traditional" Gundam colors also do.

No way to access the pv...

Also the runtime is about 150 minutes, 60 being new animation.

Legilis is just getting a recolor...

The only thing worse then painting it pink for no real reason, is not finishing the job...

Hell, the bad original paint scheme is the only thing that even resembled it being a gundam. Now it's just...another Vegan suit.

Certainly doesn't look much like a Gundam, not even a "Vagan Gundam". I like the original scheme better, it just looked nicer IMO. But then again, I really thought they did a good choice visualy-wise with that in the first place. I thought it was a bad idea in concept and in the linearts it looked ugly, but by God in animation it looked beautiful. One of the few times in the series that improved my opinion of a particular suit after its animation debut (most of the others either stagnated or made me like them a bit less).

Maybe the writers should have let the Vagans produce the original Gundam and make Flit go "WTF!!!!!" instead.
