Well to be fair they did actually fight alien type robot thingies in the first episode of Gundam Age. Only watched the first episode though.


There are no aliens in Gundam AGE.

Although the two works might seem unrelated, they are both science-fiction action spectacles that revive dormant but beloved franchises.

But surely Gundam has been far from dormant over the last two decades!


I/the original article was referring to the original Gundam series and its timeline.

I've gotta admit. That's one heck of a way to deal with "IDR." But,this raises a question in my mind. Are the "Independence Day" movies popular in Japan?

Of course, the Jegans, Geara Dogas, and other grunt suits will do all the actual heavy lifting without receiving any recognition for their efforts.

It's definitely a surprise that something more firmly in the 'Murrica genre than any propoganda film could hope to be would ever be popular overseas, but IMDB lists it at taking some $37 million in Japan.

What a difference twenty years can make.

Too bad that only the 200,000 Japanese who know about anime (according to the answerman) will get the reference. Very Happy
