{{quote|''"It is the space age, hundreds of years after people began to emigrate to space colonies. The wars that were once fought for control of the Earth Sphere had ended, and it seemed that an era of peace had arrived. But this fleeting peace collapsed. A colony was destroyed by a mysterious enemy that suddenly appeared. The curtain was rising on a new battle that would continue over 100 years."''|[[Opening Narration]]}}
''Gundam AGE''
The sudden appearance of a hostile force know only as the UE (Unknown Enemy) prompted the Federation to hire Flit Asuno to build the ultimate weapon to beat back the UE: the Gundam AGE-1. As the Hundred Year War rages on between Earth and the UE, Flit, Asem, and Kio must use the Gundam to defend the Earth.
Line 17 ⟶ 16:
Two manga side spin-offs were also made: '''Mobile Suit Gundam AGE: Treasure Star''' (Set during the Flit Arc) and '''Mobile Suit Gundam AGE: Memories of Sid''' (Set after the Asemu Arc and before the Kio Arc).
An [[Action RPG]] for Gundam AGE developed by [[Level 5]]
Despite its lofty ambitions of a megahit by chasing a younger audience, ''Age'' proved to be a flop for Sunrise that lost the original audience in pursuit of a new one. This low performance would be mitigated by an above expected success of ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn]]''

* [[Compressed Adaptation]]/[[Adaptation Expansion]]: Depending on if one considers the first written PSP game or first released anime as the "original" in this case. Either way, the 49 episode anime has way less room to tell the story of three generations of characters.
* [[Conspicuous CG]]: The AGE Builder sequence.
* [[Crap Saccharine World]]: Fardain. {{spoiler|In episode 5, we see the world inside the colony as a shiny, lavish, and seemingly peaceful commercial center. In episode 6, however, we see the ugly truth behind the mask: there is a war inside this colony that has raged on since the past history in spite of the peace treaty that apparently ended the slaughtering between the two sides, cue Universal Century, and there are also a mass of people living in poverty in an underground ghetto while enduring the rich people who keep being fooled by ideologies or even don't give a damn about the warfare, cue ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00|Gundam 00]]''.}}
Line 94 ⟶ 96:
* [[Darker and Edgier]]: {{spoiler|From Episode 15 onward.}}
** Generation 3 seems to be the darkest yet.
