Gundam AGE Roars Back: SD G Generation Eternal Inclusion Ignites Fan Frenzy and Sparks Re-evaluation

The announcement of new units from "Mobile Suit Gundam AGE" joining "SD Gundam G Generation Eternal" has caused a stir, with "Gundam AGE" trending on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter). With their implementation scheduled for February 28th, the inclusion of UR "Gundam AGE-2 Normal(EX)" with pilot "Asemu Asuno" and UR "Gundam AGE-1 Normal(EX)" with "Flit Asuno" has ignited enthusiasm among long-time fans.

In response to this announcement, many users expressed their joy, exclaiming, "I've been waiting for Gundam AGE-2!" and "So it finally came... Gundam AGE!" There were numerous emotional comments like "It's Asemu riding Gundam AGE-2 😭😭😭" and nostalgic remarks such as "Gundam AGE brings back memories," reminiscing about its original broadcast. Specific mentions of mobile suit forms like "Double Bullet" and "Titus" were frequent, indicating a deep affection for the series. A unique comment also surfaced, comparing the multi-generational battles of Flit, one of the protagonists, to the classic game "Saga Frontier 2."

On the other hand, comments from those unfamiliar with the series or influenced by its initial reception were also seen, such as "I know nothing about Gundam AGE" or "I stopped watching it early on because its mobile suit designs gave it a childish impression and reputation during its initial broadcast." However, this "G-Gen" participation is prompting some to consider rewatching the series, with comments like "I might go rewatch Gundam AGE now," and others expressing hope for a re-evaluation, stating "Its reputation must be different now that it's complete." This suggests a possibility for the series' appeal to be re-recognized, overcoming past "flames" and "memories of being mocked." Interest in derivative forms of Gundam AGE-1, such as "Razor" and "Titus Sparrow," is also growing.

The impact on G Generation Eternal is significant, with some users describing it as "G-Gen's 'Gundam AGE revival campaign.'" Expectations for in-game performance are high, with comments like "Playing with Titus looks incredibly fun," and demand for related plastic models is also being stirred, as users exclaim, "We want HG Gundam AGE series reprints too!" It was also noted that the series' concept necessitated a long-spanning narrative, and this weighty storytelling is believed to contribute to its current renewed attention.

After many years, "Mobile Suit Gundam AGE" is once again in the spotlight. Its participation in G Generation Eternal will not only bring new joy to existing fans but also provide an opportunity for new audiences to discover the series and for its overall reputation to be refreshed.
