Mobile Suit Gundam AGE, New Anime Series Announced with G Generation etc.

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.

Rotten SEGA is Still Better Than 5pb. Hatune Miku　Event


Rotten SEGA is Still Better Than 5pb. Hatune Miku　Event
What had SEGA done?
Nope.
Don't talk if they had done nothing...
Sometimes we need a discussion when they had done nothing.
So what are we going to discuss...
The "Hatune Miku Live Party 2011 39's LIVE IN TOKYO" held on March 9. This live had held last year, and drawn attention.
We had talked about last year's live on Sep 13, 2010 at "Recommended Usage of Hatune Miku Live Blu-ray" after the Blu-ray released.
So you are saying this year's live is good too?
No, the opposite.
Opposite!?
You may have different comment, but the overall review of this year's event is worse.
Why?
Last year's live was held by SEGA. This year is held by 5pb.A virtual idol live became an anime shown on monitor. So people just complain.
What is no good?
Last year they used a transparent screen to show the idol and you could see the stage behind. This year they use a normal monitor, the live atmosphere just ruined.
Huh.
Some artists other than Hatune Miku appeared in the beginning. You know people came to see Hatune Miku and no one want to see other artist even though they sing Hatune Miku's song.
And they shown some promotion video at the 30 min intermission huh.
And this shows the high standard of SEGA, who organized a high quality live last year. Other companies just don't know the essence.
That's why you are saying rotten SEGA is still better?
Yep.
Rotten...
Compare to 10 years ago, SEGA just lost its influence. But it is still SEGA. You can see some vision of future like that shown in DREAMCAST at last year's live. I hope I could see an evolved live this year. Concerning the other works of 5pb, it is just nonsense to compare it with SEGA. It's a shame that they can't get SEGA involved this year.
In Japan we have a proverb "rotten bream is still bream". Bream is a kind of gorgeous fish in Japan. The proverb means a respectable person would still has some vitue even living in degradation. Here we are saying even SEGA lost its influence, it still has enough ability.
