I dropped AGE before the last arc. You mean it actually gets worse?

They somehow manage to top EVERYTHING in the final arc. It's actually kind of fascinating

I thought the multi-generational story line was very interesting to me. Instead of everyone stuck as same old same old entire time. Character development and mecha story of mutliplanet space soup opera.
That said, story was very generic. I did like the gimmick of the Gundam become something else, but it felt off bit. I hadn't known when i saw it that it was based on a video game.
AGE could been done better had they tried fill out where video game failed to do when it came to the story. Wither or not the plot was kiddied for it's audience is hard to say. AGE's 3rd season was pretty dramatic, but i just hated the grandson. He had a Built-in peace lover personality, not because it's bad thing but it felt forced and clinch.
Still it could be good introduction into Gundam franchise, but i don't know.

I'm afraid so. The final third is just, well, let's say it'll make you raise your eyebrows to the moon.

So you a contrarian, a troll, or do ya just naturally have crap taste? |
i'd say he's either all three or a fanboy of its ero 18+ doujins which is where are a lot of the defenders of build fighters try comes from!
at least it validates the reasons why right stuff didn't bother giving this series a well respected dub and just plaster it with the god awful animax asia dub. cause just like build fighters and try, the series WAS NOT GOING TO SELL WELL HERE!!!!

Well said. AGE was one of those series I thought couldn't possibly as bad as people said it was (same with Destiny, I had liked seed well enough). It had some really interesting ideas, and as mentioned in the review had great mecha design, animation, and soundtrack work. But the entire final arc was pretty much an extended look at the entire show collapsing in on itself. As has been said, the signs were there from the start, but up until a few episodes into Kio's arc, it was entertaining enough to set aside those weaknesses. The conclusion was nothing but an exercise in frustration.

Age is ok, but this review proves that Akihiro Hino is an INCOMPETENT WRITER along with the rest of Level-5. He actually ruined gundam for everyone, but then Tomino almost ruined gundam more with G-Reco.
