----------------------------------------
The second time seeing Double Zeta in action is just as good as the first time. Although, the first time it appeared after transforming it just had a presence about it saying, "Don't mess with Double Zeta."

I LOL'ed at the Zaku head on Zeta. Too great. I think they should leave it that way.

The fact that they found a Zaku that they could salvage a working head/camera from astounds me. I work on Naval aircraft and I can speak from true experience that anything/everything metallic on it would have corroded under normal circumstances. However maybe since there's nothing to cause it to corrode in space then this explains it. Still impressive none the less.

This is also the first episode I felt that the show was getting back to the real cundam feel.

Chara is an insane woman~

Leina should be in a sensitive hostage situation, but the Axis guys are too campy for that. She could jack one of their mobile suits or just sail a balloon asteroid through the cosmos, back to Argama. doesn't really matter anyway

I'm much more surprised that the zaku hardware is compatible with the gundam hardware and software. They didn't even need to reformat anything. Kids can plug and play with war machines

So, Double Zeta can only transforms in space or is it my impression? It would be more useful if Double Zeta just went to space fully transformed. Super sentai feelings.

Chara is insane, but hot at the same thime O_O

Zeta Zaku....why are they doing this? DX!

Seriously though, they have to launch all 3 core fighters when they need to fight? Can't it stay transformed..

Zeta wearing a Zaku head.

While the ZZ transformation is aweosme, it's just tedious needing to have all the parts there and if they aren't there then you have to wait for the others.

Like DannyREN said, Why can't it stay transformed?

Zeta Zaku was great, but the Leina get kidnapped was totally forced. And I was so hoping Chara's tits were going to pop out just to show she has no shame in her craziness.

Great episode!

That Chara girl is crazy!! Since she's even more crazy than Four or Rosamia :P

Feel bad for Bright. He has to deal with a lot of children, yet he can't even spend time with his own childrein :(

Lol how many times did Rouka trick this clueless Glemy guy.

Wtf Zeta Zaku?!?! :O

So you only need 3 core fighters to take Double Zeta right? So why is the other core fighter with Roux and Elle?

Lol poor Elle, her core fighter is in the gun itself. Must be one hell of a ride :O

I love the Zeta Mix theme when they transformed!

When i saw the transformation again, it really reminded me of Voltes V!!! Tomino directed Voltes V, so i won't be surprise if he use the transformation of Voltes V to Double Zeta :)

I love Judau's laugh!!

Damn that Chara girl just opened up her chest like she's tarzan LMAO XD

And wow what's up with the space talk? Is this Lalah!?!?! O__O

And that light on Double Zeta's head. It reminded me of Zeta's Awakening form! I was surprise it didn't produced a light around the body.

Imouto-san!! Poor Reina! being captured like that. Stupid Glem guy.

That's a lot comment, can't wait for the next episode!

I guess the reason that they don't keep ZZ as a combined is that they need to do scouting missions and 3 core fighters can cover more space than just one mobile suit.

Also Chara is crazy and fan-servicy. I wonder if she gets killed when this starts to get more serious.

This show is so shameless even mobile suits get humiliated. In a sense, I'm glad Kamille has become a vegetable: that way he'll never have to learn about how his precious Zeta Gundam was defiled by a slumdog from a garbage colony.

Also fuck Chara; in less than three episodes she managed to top all Zeta crazy cybernewtype chicks combined in terms of sheer suckiness. She needs to go. Fast.

I had no complaints about cyber Newtypes but right now: o_O
"Those vibrations!I like the feeling.Go faster,faster,faster!"

"Yes,yes!yes!!"

"My tits are about to just pop right out!"

Is this really the continuation of Mobile Suit Gundam?!

There have been confirmations of Judau's newtype nature, his sister's too.
The kidnapping came out of nowhere but hopefully it will ive a straighter road to the show and its chararacters.

The vulcan guns were replaced for some blast cannon? -_-

1.5/5 because it's either that for trying to get back to something intelligible. Or -2/5 for the sentai super-robot and the lusty woman.

@SakurasouBusters Isn't Chara Soon hard to swallow (especially in a cockpit) ? o_O

@CodeBlazeFate I knew you would explode with Chara in this one. XD That was the hardest episode to pass by in the whole show for me. (and I have no character problem like you)
Mind listing the inconsistencies? ;)

CodeBlazeFate said:
@Rei366
Chara hates being in a mobile suit but is aroused to be in one and loved the feeling of piloting it.

edit @CodeBlazeFate Call me stupid but I had simply thought she naturally wanted to avoid this, since it almost acts like drugs on her. Can't remember her performances in the two episodes, sorry (though the more you are active here, th emore I want to rewatch most episodes ^^"). Idem for the Zaku (is it the Zaku used to make Zeta-Zaku?)
Why bringing Code Geass on the table? XD I don't know the show and ZZ doesn't take itself over-seriously (yet) while it's relying on conveniences.
(Not sure why I got two notifications a minute apart)

PS: chain posting himself is badly seen on fora usually.

@FMmatron I am impressed by your tastes in females. XD

@St0rmblade Sadly, Mashymre simply vanishes from the series at a certain point. You will meet him back towards the end (final battlefield or penultimate one?), and that won't be... easy to swallow.
As for Chara, well... I fully understand you. I really don't understand but would love to know how Tomino came to invent her, thinking playing such sexual antics for laugh would be funny both in a children TV show and a war-drama sequel.

@Rei366

Chara hates being in a mobile suit but is aroused to be in one and loved the feeling of piloting it. She was a shit pilot the last episode and now she outmatched or at least rivaled Judau. During the transformation, all parts had pilots in both in this episode and in the last episode, but only this episode had them getting dizzy and stuff. Also, isn't it insanely plot convenient that they just happened to find a Zaku. I mean, we can all say what we will about Code Geass being plot convenient, but rarely is it this bad.

Yup, very true. I really liked this episode as it was not over the top campy (well besides Chara) and I actually cared about Leina being captured.. but like the quote above, the Axis soldiers are dweebs and won't use it to there advantage.

And Bright.. I feel a massive bitch slap coming at some point. I also liked the Zaku head being on the Zeta.. was a nice little touch :).

Am I supposed to be hating this, because I've been having a blast. The characterization is better than what we've seen in Zeta up to this point, but maybe that's because we've had 50+ episodes with the Argama crew under our belt. In terms of pacing and the tightness of the writing, the show never really lost its Gundam feel, it's just Gundam + comedy, and I think the comedy works. Marshmallow is a legitimately great villain in his own way. And, if you think about what Haman says in Zeta, that her military is full of amateurs, everything that's happening here makes total sense, and that makes it even funnier. I think the set up is pretty ingenious and there is no suspension of disbelief on my part. If these are the 'worst' episodes then I think I'm really going to enjoy ZZ.

Also, Chara's voice is real sexy.

So, that's the infamous "Zeta Zaku" that I've heard people talk about.

Leina has been captured! Judau is definitely going to get her back.

Aah ZZ, you never fail to make me laugh and Chara is truly best girl.

Glemy is still naive as always or maybe just blind for love.

And yeah, the "true" ZZ was lol worthy.

@Rei366

Frankly speaking, my taste can be quite random since it's mainly based on weird preferences or emotions xD

Slightly new OP with Double Zeta replacing Zeta.

I gotta say that the first several episodes were silly in a good and funny way, but it's going overboard with Chara Soon, she's embarrasingly stupid, and it looks so bad because the show tries to be half-serious and half-silly.
Beecha and Mondo's treason is just forgotten now? Oh well. Poor Brighto-san. Apart from him, Leina seems like the most sane person on Argama.

I appreciated it when Torres trolled Judau by claiming that he couldn't contact Leina due to Minovsky particles.

Glemy is such a childish idiot. Though he's indeed a child.

I lost it when I saw the Zeta Zaku xDD It almost seems like Tomino is intentionally trying to insult Gundam fans, though I don't see this hybrid mobile suit as an insult, it's funny

It seems to me that Iino is instantly a better pilot than Judau despite the latter having better weapons and more time to develop his piloting skills. Looks like the vulcans got replaced with a mini-wave-motion-cannon from Yamato.

And just where did Mashymre disappear to? Don't tell me he left for Haman and I'll be forced to endure Chara! Also, what's with the name of her mobile suit? R-JARJA? Are you kidding me? Is this a Star Wars spin-off series or what?
