Why is this show like this. 7 episodes in and i kinda wanna drop it, not unwatchable but whats with the tone shift.
ZZ Gundam:
You got filtered, it's incredible. Judau is a giga-chad and you can tell everything aout a person based on how they see him.
Yeah, no. I don't care for the opinion of anyone who uses "based" and "chad" unironically.
when does it get incredible? i'm gonna probably watch the whole thing regardless but i'm not impressed so far. They insist on making Fa look like a shitty clueless pilot even though she survived many battles against the titans and zeon.
There's another tone shift about halfway through and it becomes more of a normal Gundam show.
if it goes back to normal eventually then i'll keep watching, thanks. I'm assuming happen when they get off shangri la
Bandai suddenly demanded 50 more episodes while Zeta was airing so they just made shit up on the spot without thinking about it too hard.
Tomino was worried that going from a dour ending in Zeta to more of the same angst and anguish would put people off ZZ so he decided to make the first arc light hearted and silly as a pallet cleanser then ease people back into the soul crushing
What the fuck are you me? I watched recently the first Gundam series and thought it was great. Then I get around to Kamille story line and absolutely don't understand his motivation for stealing a Gundam. I'm only on episode 2 so maybe it gets better but Amuro was the better protagonist so far to me
Hang in until after ep 15 or so, it gets more normal. Watch the first part episodically if you need to, or just rush through it in one go, whatever suits you. I don't think you need to watch ZZ in full before watching CCA if you want some closure to what you were expecting of 0079 and Zeta, but you should watch ZZ if you want to watch Unicorn later (though for newcomers I usually rec 0079, Zeta, CCA, 0079 and Zeta compilation movies, ZZ, CCA again, F91, Victory and then Unicorn, with 0080 0083 and 8th ms team anytime after 0079).
If you want 50 episodes of this early ZZ goofyness though you should try L-Gaim.
They kid-ified it to attract a younger audience (to sell toys to)
Kamile is alright, he's a total fucking sperg.
why did he steal the gundam
he fucking despises the titans and wanted to hurt Jerid for insulting his name, again kamile is a total fucking brat and a sperg. He gets beaten into submission later for his behavior, but fans try to ignore how insane Kamile was early on.
fans try to ignore how insane Kamile was early on.
so does Bright in ZZ
wanted to hurt Jerid for insulting his name
He wanted to hurt the Titan who was interrogating him. He forgot about Jerid until they meet for a 2nd time.
I'll probably pick it back up later but Kamille motivation for going to war didn't leave me impressed. Amuro going to war by happenstance was incredibly interesting. Seeing him slowly going through the motions of war had me hooked on watching Mobile Suit Gundam. If ZZ has more moments of innocents getting killed and the horrors of war I'll get back into it
Yeah, they wanted to attrack kiddie sentai fans and the story before ZZ was too convoluted for young audience.
I guess i misremebered but yeah, he stole a whole gundam just to hurt a soldier who was a dick to him.
It does get better but never as good as Zeta. There are some really fun characters in ZZ though, worth it.
The point is that Kamille was reckless where Amuro was lazy. It is even shown in Zeta with Quattro needing to spur Amuro into action, while people usually need to hold and submit Kamille into inaction. It's why Kamille seemed more well-adjusted to his colony than Amuro, even though they both had similar problems at home, one escaped into nothing and the other escaped into everything (karate competitions, piloting copetitions, etc...).
I don't think any entry in the series gets as serious and oppressive as Zeta but the AUEG is so much on its last legs you can feel a lot of desperation.
The conflict with Axis Zeon just isn't nearly as interesting as the Gryps Conflict but Haman Karn is a more interesting character than Bask or Scirocco.
bros this 30 year old toy commercial for children doesn't have the best writing. what's up with that? should I keep watching? tell me what to think.
Dont worry. More soul crushing stuff happens later.
KILL YOUR SENATOR
your first mistake was thinking it was an anime.
The entire UC is like that
A few good moments but totally not worth to sit through it all, double Zeta takes the cake in that regard
around episode 15 it starts to get serious again. I think the tone shift was some much needed levity after how fucking dark the end of Zeta got.
why did kamille steal the gundam
she's literally autistic. It's great.
Then she gets fully buck broken worse than amuro ever did.
Then Judau enters, gives no fucks, steals the gundam, counters the bright slap, continues to give NO fucks, and becomes the single best protagonist in the UC.
Somehow the main characters of ZZ have a better emotional arc than Zeta.
MSG: Happy go lucky
Zeta: Grimdark
ZZ: Happy go lucky
Victory: Grimdark
G: Happy go lucky
W: Grimdark
Turn A: Happy go lucky
Seed: Grimdark
GSD: Happy go lucky
00: Grimdark
AGE: Happy go lucky
IBO: Grimdark
Gwitch: Happy go lucky
GQuuuuuuX: ???
Will it follow the pattern?
I saw that as kinda the point
like everything in ZZ and CCA happened because the main characters of Zeta failed to confront their emotional problems and resolve them, and instead just dove headfirst into war about it until it killed them
You forgot the Build series.
And G-Reco. And Unicorn. And RFV. And others.
There is no pattern.
A light hearted series is often followed by a brutal one. Gwitch has to be the most lighted hearted gundam series.

Watch more Gundam.
Episode 1.
That wasn't a gundam series, that was a toy commercial.
All Gundam series are toy commercials, retard.
>MSG: Happy go lucky
The show literally starts with civilians getting blown up, tossed around like ragdolls and getting spaced from collateral damage in the first episode. Fraw Bow personally witnesses her parents getting blown up by a Zaku being trigger happy.
I liked ZZ way more than Z.
I had to massage the truth a bit to make the pattern work.
unfortunately every single person in that anime is retarded and makes bad decisions that aren't in their best interests
this is because the writers don't know how to write
if you skip it you'll miss out on the Elpio Ple, Sayla Mass' only appearance after 0079, and the unbridled chadness of Mashymre Cello and Chara Soon
it goes back to mostly normal Gundam but the characters never stop being retarded, unfortunately
