I watched through all of Zeta recently and was surprised at how I gave 0 shits about any character. Every time it got interesting there'd be some retarded cyber-newtype to shit everything up and cause some sort of drama. After Four's death I thought it would finally end only for Rosamie to enter and shit up the show even further.
Not to mention no one of consequence died except for maybe Emma. Zeta has a reputation as a dark and serious war drama that kills alot of it's cast but seriously who gave a fuck about shitters like Katz,Sarah,Reccoa and Heinken?
Amuro,Char and Yazan kept me from dropping it but I left was pretty disappointed with such a praised title that I tried pretty hard to like. If the cyber-newtype parts were cut it'd be an easy 10/10, but unfortunately that isn't the case.
I expected ZZ to be even worse,given it's reputation on here, but I was pleasantly surprised, even at episode 10 where it's still pretty silly and not serious. The characters have actual personalties and there's no melodrama to detract from the plot(Hopefully it remains that way.)
Anyone that agrees will just be called a contrarian shitposter, but yeah, ZZ was a breath of fresh air after the entire cast being violent, psychotic assholes in Zeta.

ZZ feels like a show I would hate in any other context, from the token loli to the ineffective enemy aces, but I just can't bring myself to do so. I like the focus on Haman, the lack of Char or Amuro-wank, the buddy-buddy group of aces dynamic, which was never really there as much in 0079 and Zeta and, maybe most of all, female Feddie pilots that don't suck at their jobs.
Not that I don't like Emma and Fa, but they jobbed like it was nobody's business. Even when they were able to get shit done, they always seemed to come out on the losing end. It was satisfying for once to see Roux competently hold off a fleet in the ZZ when they could have easily have it go like the time Sayla tries to pilot the Gundam.

>no melodrama
That's how I know you're shitposting
What would he pilot?
EW Heavyarms
Laevantein or Black Getter
Why do Zakus have blowjob faces?
Because Zeon sucks.
>>15461568
Ha.
I need sauce on the right,
How do you all feel about the Katoki versions of the Wing mechs vs the TV version?
Do you like the extra details and add ons and various armors and extra weapons? or do you think the TV version worked just fine and Katoki embellishes them to much?
I tend to lean more towards the TV versions.
i also found out comparatively recently that the Suits in Endless Waltz were meant to be the EXACT same suits as the ones in the second half of the show, ever wince i saw it when i was young i though they were upgraded by their pilots in the span between the end of the show and the movie sine they were so wildly different in form and function, and also the "Custom" branding they got.

>though they were upgraded by their pilots in the span between the end of the show and the movie
Well that's what Glory of Losers is aiming for.
Speaking of have any of the Frozen Teardrop suits ever gotten a official design or do they still exists mostly as silhouettes and words on a page?

Technically it's more powerful than the S1 Gundams.
Last week I made a thread after finishing IBO season 1. I've just finished season 2 and just wanted to have a small discussion on some thoughts. Apologies on being late to the party.
In case anyone hasn't seen it, skip this thread because there will be spoilers.
In short,
The Good
>Really cool MS designs - some dislike the waists but I think that was to show off the internal frame gimmick and also helps with dynamic poses in animation. Plus, hey, it's something new.
>Subversive of Gundam tropes - beam weapons don't work on Gundams; Garma comes back and kills Char; the main antagonist wins without even stepping into an MS
>Strong characters; hopeful and inspiring but also emotional and suffering with real issues
>Good political intrigue and setting - a lot of stuff relevant to modern day such as false flag attacks, media control and child soldiers. Despite being an AU it's very self-contained, leaves no loose threads and manages to surprise.
The Bad
>Some really shitty arcs like the one where Beard McGee takes the Earth branch for a ride
>Bad character design - the S2 new recruits are boring, awful and don't fit in with the strong characters from the first season, and worse, they take the reins for the first half of S2
>Divisive conclusion - although Tekkadan achieved the changes in the world they wanted, they had to die for it. McGillis wasn't completely reprehensible but died like a bitch. Bael really needed to have some sort of trump card to be as relevant as he was pretending. I feel like they should have cut and run at the end of season 1, where they actually had a good quality of life without the need for fighting.
>A lot of build-up to ...really nothing. I guess this was the overall message but it was a little disappointing that it all went to shit so badly. Maybe they could rectify this via sidestories, but ultimately a missed opportunity.
Rustal did nothing wrong
>>15458588
>Strong characters
Oh wait maybe you're just talking about how beefy so many of the characters are
>>15458588 cont.
My favourite moments were:
>S1
Mikazuki rushing Carta's MS, shitting on her "duel" proposition.
McGillis betraying Gaelio. Still not sure why he needed to kill him considering he was already about to inherit Iznario's position and had already married into the Bauduin family.
>S2
The entire Mobile Armour arc; really put a twist on the classic Gundam narrative and felt urgent.
The final battle - felt hopeless and mixed, but some satisfying moments such as Iok's death. Frustrating, though, when McGillis could so easily have just stabbed Gaelio's cockpit after his aide had him pinned down; or how Mikazuki should have finished Julieta after he disabled her suit - especially embittering considering what happened in the end.
I can tell I would have loved this series as a teenager - the bestial nature of the Gundams and their more "Jojo-esque" proportions; the more medieval style of battle with pure melee weapons and nary a sword in sight; I really feel the lack of beam weapons shows off a better quality of animation (and bigger budget).
VERY good theming, what with the Ars Goetia/Valkyries/Angels naming system. Subtle, but potent, given that the main character trades parts of his life away in order to make a "deal" with Barbatos.
It's a little juvenile, a little hopeless, but a little but poignant as well. I don't see where the people who are saying it's the worst Gundam series are coming from. It's not perfect but it does its job compared to some other Gundam entries that outright fall flat on their face. It's not a good ending, but it's not Gundam's job to give you a warm comfy feeling inside - and besides, there are plenty of other Gundam shows you can watch if you want that.
