>what the fuck is wrong with this kid
You're going to say that about nearly half the cast by the time you finish
I enjoyed it but there are some moments that seem very OFF
>>15351127
Amuro was a lot like that in early MSG too.
>Bright thinks I'm too impuslve and Ryu should pilot the Gundam
>I'll desert, that'll prove him wrong!
>>15351169
Amuro panicked because the Gundam was basically all he had
this kid punched a random officer in the face because he commented on the fact that he has a girl's name under his breath
>>15351178
Kamille doesn't even have a Gundam to his name at that point.
His name is basically all he had.
>>15351127
Don't be fooled OP Zeta isn't nearly as good as the fanbois say. Kamille develops as a character to be sure, but the character interactions and motivations stay ass backwards retarded throughout the entire show.
0079 is and always will be superior no matter what anybody else says
>>15351186
except a family, friend, good school career and at least three major awards
much better off than Amuro
>>15351194
>family
His dad makes Tem look like #1 Dad material.
>>15351194
His family is shite, anon. His dad cheats on his wife and slaps your shit if you talk about his mistress and his mom is a worthless pushover. To make things worse, he loses them both. Kamille has a good reason for behaving the way he does and by the end of it all, he becomes a better man. More so than Amuro.
>>15351127
oh. its this thread. again.
zzzzz
next!
>>15351127
Kamille's autism is the best thing about the show.
>>15351127
it has good mecha designs and the best char clone ever
>>15351194
>except a family
You only have seen like the first episode right...?
Because "Kamille has a family" is just comedy gold even if you don't realize it.
>>15351411
>n-new people can't possibly ever watch Zeta and disagree with my opinions!

>>15351127
Kamille matures immensely as the series goes on.They also introduce someone even more annoying.
>>15351169
Amuro was a child forced to pilot a huge robot as a soldier in a war.
He was justified for not being into it.
>>15351127
I'm not OP but I'm currently watching Zeta myself and am on Episode 18 right now.
Does Gundam 0079 and Gundam Zeta basically just act as the backpiece for all the other series? I'm asking because these first two series are kind of boring, with a few cool moments here and there.
>>15352436
If you don't like 0079 you're probably not gonna like most Gundam
Kamille is the Chris-chan of Gundam
>>15352465I already watched Thunderbolt and Unicorn and loved them before I watched 0079
I didn't say I didn't like 0079, I just find it a bit boring.
>>15352473Watch the movies. Better than the series.
>>15352487I did watch the 0079 movies. They were good. Currently watching the Zeta series however since I heard that the Zeta movies suck dick.
>>15352516
>I heard that the Zeta movies suck dick
The first movie's pretty decent but the other two don't make a lick of sense unless you've watched the series.

^This is basically Zeta in nutshell.
Zeta goes through cycles of over hyping and hating. The first time I saw it I didn't like anyone besides Quatro and Emma, and the end made me rage. Then ZZ made me realize it did have a few good things and characters did actually develop, mainly because ZZ ruins it.
After a few months or a year you start looking fondly at it all. You can laugh remembering how many slaps Kamille gets (there's a YouTube compilaciĆ³n, it's like 7 minutes of slaps) and the end if SM tying back to Z made me laugh and feel shivers even when I knew how pathetic the Titans and Haman ebd up being.
More than any show, in the long run, it feels like Gundam canon and world building. No show after it felt so free to mess with the UC.
>>15352549
>that jazz background track
>the literal AUTISTIC SCREECHING
>>15355345
Holy shit, Double Autism Gundam had meaningful physicall violence? I might give it a try... one more time? Had too much cancer when I saw the big Zion Cross in space.
>>15351178
Dude, the military officer that stops a conversation to comment on the name of some rando who could perfectly be a girl and then gets his ass handed by a 14 year old and needs two friends to help him isn't a shining example of shit either
>>15351178
If you think punching officers in the face is the worst of it you haven't even started to enjoy Zeta
>>15356282
Jewdog takes no shit from anyone, even less adults telling him he's endangering everyone by being a dumbass. They also use as human shield a pilot who told them to do their share of cleaning, give a ship to the kid who tried to sell the Z Gundam to the enemy, lock everyone in the dessert without water to take a bath in the cabin with all their reserves and make the main antagonist cry in a corner by screaming at her midway through.
>>15356302
They gave the ship to that kid because the AEUG brass wanted to sit on their literal fat asses and let Neo-Zeon do as they please.
>>15356310
They take it for themselves and Bright makes time for them to get away. It's justified in the story but the writers were giving a price to a literal desertor who never did anything good in the whole show.
>>15351127
>what the fuck is wrong with this kid
Character development
>>15351127
Be patient. Kamille becomes a better man than Amuro.
On a side not, does anyone think his name in english might not be Kamille? If nips pronounced it wouldn't it be something like "KAMIRRU" instead of "KAMIYYU". Maybe his name in english is actually Cammy? Would make a lot more sense because that's actually a girl's name.
>>15351193
I can agree with this.
MSG was a surprise hit so they needed a sequel. And Gundam the franchise was born. Zeta was a cash in.
>>15356302
>and make the main antagonist cry in a corner by screaming at her midway through.
He literally mindraped her and SHE LIKED IT.
Does anyone have the gif with Katz's death? The one that goes "Where's Katz? Oh, here he comes now. *Boom*"
>>15356310
YOU SHOT MY LITTLE SISTER REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>15351127
>>hyped because I've heard it's really good
You got lied to.
Zeta is shit and not worth the slog. Just watch the crappy movies and be done with it. At least you wouldn't have to suffer like I did.
Zeta's pretty good. Great, even.
>>15361417
probably a japped-up version of Camilla
>>15352549
>the autism, the cringe, the faggotry, signs of the Char side of the force
>>15362035
one of the main reasons that i HATED ZZ it was because of this asshole looking like the immortal Eunuch Autistic Saint of Pegasus aka Seiya
One retard being buttfucked because of a purple haired pussy is enough
>>15361632
>Cash in
>7 years later
You're not even wrong in the sense that the whole franchise is just a mechanism to sell toys, but I can tell you arrived to that conclusion badly.
>>15351127
I definitely hate early Kamille, but it really is indicative of the whole Zeta experience looking back - stupid, cheesy, autistic fun.
>>15351127
good characters.
>>15351127
Zeta doesn't get good until they get back from Earth the first time, and never gets as good as 0079.
>>15361961
that wasn't his death
He died by crashing into a rock
>>15363575
ZZ's biggest problems were the passive death scenes. Literally nobody cares when someone except Leina dies. Puru suffers the worst from this, ESPECIALLY Puru 2.
>>15363590
MSG wasn't a toy commercial but the other ones were.
>>15362035
This guy was such a cunt.
>Fa tells him he should be the Gundam's pilot and that they would pay him.
>He throws a fucking fit
>She slaps him for acting like an ungrateful cunt and wasting all that food that was given to him.
>Makes a move to beat the shit out of her until the others stopped him
Yeah, this is totally someone you want saving people and piloting a Gundam
>>15365390
Yeah, tomino watched Saint Seiya and went to make judal be a insufferable asshole like seiya, AND ITS IRONICAL since both aired in the same year
>>15352549
The squeaky shoes get me every time.
>>15361632
>MSG was a surprise hit
Anon, it got cancelled during it's original airing. It really wasn't a hit in any sense of the word.
>>15363590
>but I can tell you arrived to that conclusion badly.
Probably. I never gave a shit about the Gundam franchise. MSG was really good but the rest just rubs me the wrong way for some reason.
>>15366557
Toys were
>>15366837
Most series don't scratch the itch that 0079 did.
How come ZZ started off so humourous and why did they dropped that?
>>15368593
Because there's nothing funny about war, as the kids find out.
>>15351127
>working my way through the UC
skip to f91
>>15365118
Personally I hate how characters in various media have plot armor so thick that when a single one dies it's a monumental occassion. Especially when the character in question doesn't inspire sympathy.
I'm not refering to Puru in this case though. I remember her being dumb and bratty but I liked her.
>>15365390
I remember him being nice in comparison to Amuro and Camile. Unlike the other two, he starts off having the capacity to form bonds with others and care for more than just himself. Also he doesn't have a MS-related theoretical education. He would had made a great underdog if he weren't a jedi.
So power and stress got to his head at some point. His phase was milder than the other two, he snapped out of it quickly and he became a much more world-conscious guy after it.
>>15351315
I wouldn't use "man" to describe what he becomes at the end, to be honest.
>>15368593
What I hated the most was the open cockpit running gag. Like, it's not even funny. I may be overreacting to this but goddamn did I hate that retarded joke. I mean, it wasn't subtle at all or anything, it was clear they were trying to set up a running gag but it's not even a gag or a joke.
Just thinking about it piss me off so much.
>>15369722
Jewdog keeps taking the only MS available to do his own stuff for days all the way until the kids who were trying to betray them in the first 15 episodes get in there and start stealing the suits for themselves.
I dropped Zeta because of Kamille's autism but picked it back up and its nice to see him improving. But now Fa and Katz are being impudent little shits, the fuck is wrong with the AEUG
>>15351210
that takes some sort of effort
>>15374912
Fa learns her lesson and Katz gets what he deserves by the end of the show, if that makes you feel any better
>>15369783
OK. He becomes a better vegetable.
The first couple episodes that are just everybody punching everybody in the face are pretty magical.
>>15368118
They weren't. The original clover toys weren't really a hit which is how Bandai got the toy license.
>>15374949
