Agreed. All the other characters got their due, and she was in about 3 scenes and then disappeared. Still, fun film.

The saber duel at the end was godly.

Found it more fun than any of the PT that's for sure.

Also, even though I knew it was coming, Han's death really got to me. He was always my favourite of the OT cast.

I thought the beginning of ZZ started out well- of course, the crew of the Argama had suffered a lot, but the kids at Shangri-La were just living their normal lives, and the Gryps Conflict had no bearing on them. Judau and crew's obsession with stealing the Zeta was strange- if it was so famous, who would buy it and corroborate their involvement in the theft of an important mobile suit?

But the overall tone of the opening arc was good, even great. It feels more like Xabungle than Gundam, and really lightens the mood after such a heavy ending for Zeta, with the death of Emma, Katz, the crew of the Radish, and the disappearance of Char. Believe me, Emma and Henken were my favorite characters and pairing in Z Gundam.

The only real whiplash for me came in episode 19/20 with the episodes where that one bridge guy's childhood friend operated as a spy for Zeon. It was really outta place so far, but then the more serious aspects of the series started happening, and when they did, I thought they were good for the most part.

Puru really comes off as a superfluous character, and it seemed like she only really existed as a way to introduce Puru Two and her clones as Glemy's Newtype Troops for his Beta Uprising. Leina's death ultimately seems pointless when it turns out she survives and Sayla's taking care of her, which is really out of place considering she was doing fuck-all during Zeta, which also really undermines Sayla's character as a whole. The episodes where the Gundam team was fighting their way up to Dakar were alright, 7/10 overall, but ultimately seemed like filler.

And again, now that I'm at episode 46 where Glemy's rebellion is underway and Neo Zeon's in a civil war, it feels sudden, even after his character development in the desert planted the seeds of him being an independent leader of Zeon- though really, there was a step or two that weren't present in the show that showed the jump to him declaring civil war.

cant wait for /m/ to be renamed "mecha anime" so tokushit and zz get filtered out

Alright, so I just got to the part where Bright meets Sayla and Leina, and I'm reminded of Acting-Captain Emaly. Her character was almost entirely 'gosh I sure do love Captain Bright,' but her character design was appealing. She really would have benefitted from an entire character arc, where she was told that Bright was married and had children, and was admonished for trying to pursue him. She dies in a sort of sudden way, if you can call it that when the episode she died in was named after her, but I think that could be an acceptable theme, where people die in a war all the time, and the way they develop as a human can't be helped or completed.

>it's not anime
You know, that's a real dumb way to consider ZZ not canon, unless you're a troll in which case whatever.

The opening song isn't about the show not being anime
>and therefore being exempt for discussion
but rather the idea of youth not being taken seriously by adults for what they have seen or believe in, which I think ties into Gundam's themes as a whole, where the younger generation has to overtake the older generation's beliefs and ideologies.

Don't all of them only have thrusters in the feet?

It's like eating a hotdogs with fuckhuge stale bread.

You do get taste of that delicious sausage,but you keep chewing the bread for most of the time.

The soft drink (endless waltz)after that tastes good though.

Because a lot of people like it. If I like something casuals like that means my taste is shit, so I'll have to pretend to hate it even though I enjoyed it.

Wasn't Xing Ke dying of some poisoning anyway?

Then again, it seems more like Gino just photobombed chinaloli's photoshoot going by the reactions of the others in the image.

Silver Moon is the only one I really liked.

It's ok. Not the weakest of the Macross songs. That honor belongs to Planet Dance.

>>13643056
Lacus Clyne > Lynn Minmay
The only Macross idol worth listening to when I'm not watching the show/movie she's in is Sharon Apple.

Production order. Always, ALWAYS, production order. If you do it in any other order, you'll, and I'm assuming this because this happens to a lot of anime fans who are relatively new, have whiplash because of the difference in visual quality and other details.

I think the best way is production order, because you see how the franchise gradually developed, with the AUs, and the change from series to series seems more natural. It's like walking up a stair case one step at a step, instead of jumping up two, then jumping down three, then jumping up four, then jumping down 5.

Just watch whatever interests you the most.
