Hehe, Mashymre was freaking shocked by Double Zeta and pretty much I was. The transformation was purely epic, I loved it. ^_^

Double Zeta seems to me like one of those Power Rangers Mechs. Who would design a Mobile Suit that has to be combined from 3 Planes? 0079 was stupid in that regard, but ZZ takes the cake.

The transformation scene kinda reminded me of the Power Ranger's Megazords. xD

I love Iino he is so adorable I hope he don't become a pilot cause he needs to live. Dx

I really hope that Bright slaps Beecha and the other guy to set them straight.

Lol at the very last scene... nice mecha art porn. But that docking looked awesome.
Mashimyre called it an "extravagant sequence" ahaha. He's totally jealous.

That Chara woman's voice acting was bad and her Japanese VA isn't even listed.
Also, what's with her name? Trying to be Char much?

Beecha and that other guy whose name escapes me are such irritating dumbasses.
They need to be slapped at least 100 times.

Those "friends" of Judau's really need to be punished. I'm hoping for them to be slapped and put into isolation (with the door actually locked). Those kids too. Seriously some of the most irritating kid characters; how stupid do you have to be to believe the enemy? Darn it Char, why did you do this to us?

I was so hoping for a Power Rangers/Sentai parody, but the planes separating at the end completely ruined it.

WOW!!!!!

I thought Zeta Gundam was the best, but DAAAAAMN Double Zeta is amazing!!!!!

Definitely more powerful, faster, and stronger version of Zeta!

Just imagine if Kamille piloted this!! Damn that would have been godly!!

Though i'm starting to like Judau more! He's more calmer and more smarter and piloting.

Kamille is more aggressive, but reckless at times while Amuro defensive, but willing to take out the enemy if it threatens him.

Even though Double Zeta requires multiple core fighters, it seems the main core fighter which Juda's is the main control.

Judau seems to be a mixed of both! He's definitely the ultimate Newtype!!

What's up with that Chara soon going crazy like that O_o

Mashymre didn't see that coming!

I'm excited to see how Double Zeta performs, considering they revealed it so early on the series.

Can't wait for the next episode!

"Woa... No homo." Seriously, Marshmallow? I personally find Gotton's passionate thanks much less cringey than your virgin-esque fixation on your female colleagues and their body parts. Speaking of females, I can't seem to decide which is worse about Chara Soon : her atrocious name, her chara design straight out of Jem and the Holograms, her utterly incompetent voice actress or the ridiculous lines said voice actress has to work with. Wouldn't even surprise me if that bish turned out to be a cybernewtype.

I swear I used to love kids before I got into Gundam, but all those brats seriously need a proper correction. Especially Bitch-a and his buddy whose name I keep forgetting: treason is some serious shit, and they need to get punished for it. Makes me wonder how no one aside from Aikido-kun even found out about them: it was really not that hard to put two and two together.

Aside from that, the beautiful docking sequence saved the episode: still as dumb as it was in 0079, but at least it looked pretty.

What's this ?! It's a Gundam ! No, it's a super-robot from the 70s ! Are the La Vie en Rose's engineers "retro-addicts" to regress to something like that? I was tired of all the MS/MA switching mecha from Zeta but this is not worse. Everyone references the RX78-2 but how was it similar? The Core Booster of 0079 was actually a good idea (I think) where the "jet" was acting like an escape pod. I thought that the "central balls" in Zeta's mecha were its successor (they were'nt so efficient but it was normal for a mass-produced system). As much as I think a Core is an advantage, I fail to see the point in rlying on a 3 cores assemblage.

The big-breasted 80s woman shouting "I'm hot!" has an irritating voice, and that means something when Elle is voiced by Hiyama Hikaru's seiyû (KOR). With such non-sensical "lines" (at least, it was done on purpose contrarily to Zeta's beginning dialogues, I suppose), either she is a totally failed cyber Newtype or a insanely badly made character.

Mashymre: "That woman acts as she owns a sizeable chest"
From a military officer to another: "You're not cute". What?

1/5


Now that the Argama has two advanced suits (unless they scrap Zeta), maybe we could go back to a situation where female pilots mean something?


edit @SakurasouBusters Tomino made his point about idiots taking idiotic and careless actions but lucky enough to survive them in Zeta. Don't expect the same consequences here.
In general, death comes around the mid-point of ZZ.


@CodeBlazeFate who is "tfw"? Ohohoh, you dislike Chara? I thought you would have been prepared to her thanks to your games. Don't you like "hot" women (hey, she said it herself)? Also, what does "waste of beauty" mean?

You can't blame him, based on his previous achievements. Actually, I would have joked about this stupid-looking puzzle and thought it was worthless, even if I wasn't a good military commander or pilot.

Yes, Judau keeps doing things opposite to what he states. -_- (at least, it disappears almost after a time, sadly there are still instances here and there) At least, Camille had his problems as an excuse for the same wandering behaviour.

"New" meaning everyone who will be introduced as of now? or all the characters that weren' t in Zeta? Sorry but I must disappoint you then.;)

You're nicer than me on each episode individually but far more severe with the overall. How do you do to hate characters and series but not hating episodes. XD

Tfw you agree with Mashymire that Chara is an annoying bitch thstnshould just die already. Her voice is annoying, her lines are wince-worthy, and ultimately, she is a waste of beauty.

Mashymire is so stupid just watching ZZ transform while he's saying "you expect that overly complicated piece of machinery to beat ME?!?!"

If Judau knew that Beecha and Mondo were acting like scummy traitors just to make some money, why didn't he report this? Would've saved them so much trouble in this episode, especially considering that he berated Ino for covering for them.

Barring Roux and maybe Elle, I want every new character in ZZ to die horribly @Rei366

2/5 ZZ is still a shit anime and the ZZ Gundam doesn't look anywhere NEAR as good as the Zeta.

@Rei366 Tfw stands for "that feeling when"

Chara was good when she was just toying with Mashymire, who is only good when bouncing off of her. After getting in a mobile suit, she becomes insufferable, and an insult the the very spirit of Gundam.

Hence why Kamille is a good character from beginning to end while Judau is currently a terrible character.

All characters introduced so far...wait, most of them survive? C'mon!

I utterly detest episodes 3-6, as well as really disliking episodes 7-9 and 11, which is why this is still the only Gundam anime that I hate. 3-6 are 1/5 episodes, especially 5 and 6.

I've learned one thing watching the Gundam franchise: it's better to let children die than to put them inside the ship. It is much safer. I've never had as much hatred of children's characters as I have in this series.

Agree that the 3-core transformation thing felt very super-robot-esque, but since the show itself has decided to go full ham, it doesn't seem too out of place here. As for the design itself, I thought bringing back the more classic Gundam "Samurai helmet"-esque look for the head was a nice touch, compared to the more "demonic" look of the Zeta or the Hyaku Shiki. All in all it looks like an insanely jacked-up Mk2. Just hoping they don't ditch the Zeta altogether, maybe they'll just replace the head to bring back the Classic look here as well?

P.S.: Mashymere's "That impressive transformation won't intimidate me" was just precious...As for Chara Soon, I sincerely hope she keeps up those insane antics - or better yet, outdoes herself each time XD

P.P.S.: More than a few people here seem to want Beecha and Mondo's heads, I'm guessing they'll get an especially hilarious comeuppance, given the show's current tone.

The kids did a stupid thing again, who could've thought

The battles are a bit hard to take seriously though. Argama is attacked by several mobile suits from Axis and has no defense at all (Zeta is away), yet is somehow not destroyed. What're the enemies doing? Just flying around and waiting for Zeta? :D

"I'll cut you in two, Mashymre-san!" - now that's a noble way of fighting, Judau is a true knight xD

And so, Double Zeta has all weapons...doubled. How surprising! It entered the game faster than Zeta Gundam in Zeta, though. Almost half of the show was spent with Mk. II.

Chara Soon needs to disappear from the show as soon as possible.

The writers of the show can't seem to figure out whether Roux is supposed to be "goofy" or serious because she's both, depending on the environment.

That was awesome. ZZ's transformation was a nice throwback to classic Super Robot transformations, the story seems to really be picking up, and I actually liked Chara. She was funny.

Also, Roux is ZZ best girl. Doubtful that she'll be able to top Sayla, though.
