I loved the dragon desing on the colony~
Since they left Bright behind the story became so meh again. It started to lose the seriousness it had in the middle~
How come Judau with his so called newtype abilities couldn't sense Haman until now? She has been on the Argama and he even touched her hand. The story has flaws that I just don't understand again~

I don't understand this kind of filler episodes...And why would Haman act like this? Dissapointing series of chapters.

Back to the completely silly stupid episode from the beginning but i have to admit that this one wasn't just silly but a little of a comedy gold. The comments about Judau's ugliness as a woman(freak of nature lol) that perverted head of the colony. The guy leaves "like a boss" a whole colony as a harem including visitors. Damn his living the dream! Lol!

Biggest question. Did Haman paint her hair or is she wearing a wing?

I hope this series end soon. It got so boring! Glemy and Puru Two could come back to make things more interesting, instead of this silly Dictator. Well, at least we have Haman...

Why do they had to stop at that colony, anyway? This was an unecessary episode.

Jesus Christ Judau, never dress as a woman again. Iino's kind of a babe though.
I felt like I was watching the beginning episodes with this.

Haman needs to not be blonde anymore.

I dunno, Judau looked quite cute in that black-haired wig. I had a good laugh at the crossdressing part of this episode; if only the beginning was more funny like this.

Other than that, it was mostly a stupid episode, especially the Haman part. The potential is all there, but the execution is not.

Good episode.

WTF this colony is one weird one. Even weirder than Sarasa and Rasara.

And wtf the leader of this colony is one perverted freak.

And what the hell, this colony has its own junkers like Judau and all!?!

WTF Lunan sounds like Kaneda from Akira!

Hehe they crossdress, i agree Judau ain't a looker, but Iino is something else XD

And why would they design Judau to Sarasara.

Gelgoog! Been awhile since i seen one!

Haman finally revealed herself, but why would she go to these colony instead of Side 3!?!

I don't blame Judau for not being able to kill Haman like that. Kinda like Kamille tbh.

Now i'm more concerned on how this series will end, with 7 episodes left.

They still have Haman, Mashymyre, Glemy, Puru 2. So i'm guessing they'll go with Mashymyre, then Glemy will appear along with Puru 2.

Final Battle might be Haman. I also expect Sayla and Leina at the end of the series.

All that's left is Char. I do wonder if he'll appear towards the end.

I hope most of these issues are resolved by the end. I want a final battle like Kamille vs Paptimus!

Judau vs Haman would be an interesting fight if they were to go full force.

Last 7 episodes. We're almost there T__T

Iino 10/10, would bang.
I'm actually glad this type of episode popped up.
I'm not sure how the rest will be, but I feel like this episode will end up being that needed light episode before the storm.

I'm at a loss again. What even is the point of this small arc? It's cool to see other colonies, but this seemless pointless and like a waste of time. Why are they so trusting with the kids they just met off the street too?

Like the one above me, this episode felt irrelevant to the whole situation. I might have liked it slightly toward the beginning but not at this (supposed final) point of the story.
Is the goal to have the less amount of episodes left to conclude the story?

Only two minutes are interesting (the last face-to-face with Haman) and it felt so weird because Judau instantly recognizes her after he failed to do it in the Nahl Argama when he was a few cm away from her.
Are we supposed to be idiots who still have no idea about Haman's personal "problems" or needs after it has been expressed/shown? Because I don't see the interest of having the cult mistress handling it to us again.

1.5/5 Overall, more of an excuse for 0079 mecha fan-service.


What about Glemy overthrowing Haman's reign (while she isn't even present) with his army of clones?


@St0rmblade
Episode 40 and 41 came about because the series air time was extended, so they were made for fun and completely unrelated to the main story.

We could have guessed it. (Although, to be honest, I thought the total count of episodes was strange but didn't imagine an extension being the cause of it, rather a slight cut. ^^")

Is it bad that I thought genderbent!Iino looks pretty sexy? Which is quite strange because I'd normally find Judau much cuter than him: that's the magic of cross-dressing for you, I suppose.

I don't really care much about what's happening anymore, to be perfectly honest. I know we've reached the high point of the series with the Colony Drop arc and that the actual good part of ZZ is behind us. Now I'll just try and enjoy the comedy without worrying too much about how little respect and care Tomino seemed to have for this show and its characters.

edit: boy, i'd forgotten how disgustingly bad Z'Goks and Acguys look.

This is what kills me, there are so many shit episodes in this series, but every so often it shows flashes of potential of being really good before going back to being shit again.

Guys.. what is going on here? Remember when this show was great only TWO episodes ago?

It's back to the same, stupid ass comedy! I will say, it was funny than the previous first several episodes, but it felt so out of place after everything that has gone down. I am massively disappointed.

Seeing them dressing up as women was kinda funny.

This colony is interesting, but is also a bit of a dictatorship.

Idk.. this episode felt out of place. Why did they stop off at this colony? So basically the mayor wanted all the woman to be a part of his harem so the guys dressed up as woman to rescue them. Wasn't absolutely terrible by any means. The comedy helped a bit for me. Another OK episode. 3/5.

What should I even think about this episode? Well, at least I witnessed Iino crossdressing, that's something. Did they drop off the civilians or not?

And by the way, the preview for this episode (at the end of episode 39) finally features the 2nd OP as background music (and not "Anime Ja Nai")

P.S. Healing my soul after these bad episodes listening to the full version of "Silent voice" OP. That's so 80's damn. Best OP of Gundam so far (I also like the one for 08th MS Team and the 2nd OP of 0083).

I enjoyed some aspects of this episode, but at the same time, it kind of felt like filler. Especially for how much has been built up and how far we are in the series. Feels more like an episode we would have seen in the first half of the series.

The crossdressing stuff was pretty funny, and I absolutely hate the weird pedo dude, I hope he gets killed in the next episode. Haman reveals herself to Judau just like that I guess, continuing to try to get him to her side but he refuses of course.

Illia and Mashymre creeping up at the end gives me hope the final battle will be exciting. Glemy hasn't shown up yet, and I'm waiting on that too.

I don't really understand what Haman was trying to accomplish. Bringing Judau on her side while seeing the civilians' life? Still felt a bit random

The crossdressing was funny

I can't really blame Stampa, except the traps and the loli i would have liked a harem like that, lol

i loved the desing of this colony, and i loved to see old models like z'gokk and zakus in action.
Gundam zz is pretty ''nostalgic'' from this point of view, and i love how it handles the cultural diversification of the colonies.

It's a bit frustrating that they went from the Dublin arc to this...? My biggest problem with early Gundam is how it seems to have something big happen, and then just...does something else. What happened to Glemy? What happened to Ple 2? Heck, what happened to Reina? And with only 7 episodes left, it seems like there's still a lot of plot left to cover...so why are they wasting it on this? That said, the stuff with Haman at the end makes me think it was just a bit of fun as a way of setting up the final encounter, so let's hope I'm right.

Taken on its own, this was a pretty fun episode. I enjoyed the goofier elements in the earlier part of the series and started to miss them as it became more serious. It was also cool to see the old mobile suits in action again, and I like how the art style for them doesn't look too dissimilar to their appearance in the original MSG.
