Hino Akihiro, the president of game maker Level 5 and the scenario writer of Mobile Suit Gundam AGE, posted in his twitter that he was surprised to meet severe criticism against Gundam AGE. He said "We didn't make a perfunctory approach to understand the concept of Gundam. We are producing Gundam AGE in a different way from any other Gundam series. Our policy for the new gundam will be explained in the anime." The mecha designer Ebikawa Kanetake ("Full Metal Panic!", "Mobile Suit Gundam 00", "Gundam AGE") encouraged Hino that they have also received fierce disapproval from the fans when they announced Gundam 00.
