Mobile Suit Gundam AGE, New Anime Series Announced with G Generation etc.
	New Gundam series announced huh.
	Mobile Suit Gundam AGE, starting this October.
	The info leaked before the announcement so no surprise at all.
	We had got a submission on June 9. "New Gundam is 'Gundam AGE'." (submission) "New Gundam series 'Gundam AGE' leaked on Jun 13. It's called 'Mobile Suit' too. Won't you talk about it? Should appear in SRW someday. Seems the reputation from Internet is bad, but I look forward to it as a simple super robot anime for children......"(submission)
	I thought it is from someone who buy the anime magazine one day before the selling date, but it turns out that the leak is really from inside. Don't know how they control information.
	So how about this "Mobile Suit Gundam AGE"?
	Fine isn't it?
	Really? Some people hate this.
	It has a image for children so I understand why some people dislike it, but we have Gundam Unicorn for adult. After all we still know nothing about the actual story of this AGE, we should be open-minded.
	So depends on the final product huh.
	In any era, old-fashioned people complain those new stuff.
	Yep...
	At the end, its success depends on how can it attract their main target, which is children.
	And there are products outside anime.
	Plastic model and toys, linked with games. IC chips inside plastic model can be scanned by game machine and input data of MS. This game machine will be available in certain centres and events .
	Just like the Gunpla Battle in "GUNPLA BUILDERS BEGINNING G". Not big scale as that though. But this system may evolve into something really like Gunpla Battle in the future.
	Great.
	But this so-called "for children" project has so many lineup. Gunpla, toys, etc. I don't think children can afford all these.
	Hard to complete the series huh.
	They may just want to imitate the Kamen Rider style, ask parent to buy for their kids. In Bandai Namco Group's toy business, Kamen Rider is the only sector which sales better than Gundam. They just want Gundam do the same.
	Last year's toy hobby sector, Kamen Rider hit 23 billion Yen, Gundam was 13.4 billion Yen, Pretty Cure was 12.5 billion Yen. If included gaming business Gundam is the best, 38.2 billion Yen, Karmen Rider was 26.4 Yen, you can see how strong is Karmen Rider in terms of toy.
	There will be a Gundam Triage arcade game machine launching in late July.
	That's something like "Mushiking: King of the Beetles" or "Oshare Majo: Love and Berry". A cross between an arcade game and collectible card game. This system is more advanced and you can use 3 cards to play, similar to Mobile Suit Gundam 0079 Card Builder. Old series will appear in this game so old fans can enjoy.
	So big guy will line up with kids to play such arcade game huh...
	They may want parent to enjoy with kids. Middle-age guy without kid would play though.
	Finally, there will be an RPG of Gundam AGE on home console, developed by LEVEL-5. President of LEVEL-5 is doing the story of anime too, sot this game should launch around the broadcast period. RPG is new to Gundam, worth notice huh.
	Any other info?
	Gundam AGE characters will appear in SD Gundam G Generation series. Platform and launching date unknown, but should announce soon. This year Gundam will have big action, old fans and new comers can both enjoy.
