Well, just look at it this way. They're using stuff like this for establishing the fact that Jerid is a hypocrite. It's not that they can't write decent characters, it's just that they wanted to portray one of the characters as a hypocrite.


No, they CAN'T write decent characters. If they wanted a hypocrite character they have the biggest one of all; Fucking CHAR AZNABLE. But instead you have them traying to make him look like a good man when he is a egoist and trecharous piece of shit and a fucking zeon/zabi dog.

Finally someone from the AEUG dying. I expected it earlier since tomino is notorious for the "kill them all" style

Wow what a crazy space battle, it really looked like a huge war. Already felt a little like the finale and kinda like 79 Gundam with the enemy base and all.

Even though we weren't that close to Apolly's character the was there since almos the beginning of Zeta and the reaction of his comrades and Kamille just totally broke my heart. But Jerid is right (even though i hate him now even more after Four, too). "This is war".

And WOW do i hate Recoa and Sarah. I know it is kinda because of Sirroco's mind control Newtype abilites or something like that, but Reccoa gased a whole ass space colonie. How many people is that? Hundreds of thousands? Millions?! Just kill her already. She deservers it.

Sarah is just a brainwashed kid but she also is acting super dumb and contradicting with Katz. Make up your mind.

Expectin to see several more characters die in the next episodes onto the final one. Let's see

Jerid doesn't die, and this is getting boring. He should have died a long time ago.

And Fa all bugged in this scene?

Great to see the three most unlikeable characters in the show all get the spotlight this episode. It's a shame because the war and political angle is actually pretty interesting (Haman is honestly pretty cool despite feeling a bit underdeveloped) but it keeps getting bogged down with half-baked romances and insufferable characters.

These last several episodes, but this one in particular, have really killed my enjoyment of this series. And to think i actually liked it better than 79 for the first half...

Reccoa is by far the worst Gundam character. The second worst is Scirocco, not because of how he was written, but simply because of what his mere presence does to any female character in his vicinity.

Reccoa spouting her gender essentialist nonsense is one thing, but Fa agreeing that that is something most women would choose singlehandedly ruined her character forever too.

Emma is the true MVP here, the only woma in this entire show that speaks sense and is actually a good character. People rave about Haman, but weve seen to little of her to judge how well shes written. I heard she is a big player in ZZ, so im looking forward to seeing her develop.

Hamaan is the only character who helps the series to progress toward a (semi?) conclusion. Like she had been added in at the last second because the creators realized nothing had really happened except characters stories and little useless battles. I thank her for that. I like the character but still dislikes the person: how she made a poor war orphan into her own little puppet queen, and her probably imperialist goals.
Great to see the wise Bright in command: he wants to use the occasion to estimate the military power of the Axis. After all, Zeon is THE ennemy. But why is it impossible? -_-

I wasn't expecting Appolly's death after so long. He survived until now, too bad.

What is this excuse from Reccoa? She became a sect follower because she's a woman?! How to fulfil one's existence as a woman: to blindly do everything a guru asks and to discard any believing/opinion. That's a great way to live indeed! Fa's view was disappointing, at least Emma saved her sexe from stupidity.
I absolutely disliked the vision who was exposed here. I hope it is something coming from the character because of her story (like some sect followers who justify their allegiance with the fact their family/friends/other persons were'nt able to understand and accept them), and not from the creator because of some twisted opinion of him.

4/5

The talk about men and women in this episode was pretty ridiculous.

Stupidly expressed, indeed, but I appreciated what it was willing to show (despite hating the fact it was put into female characters mouths). I guess Tomino's second attempt at developing ideas about females, V, won't sit well with you.
@Rei_III Genuine question to you, how do you feel about Tominos ideas about females as expressed in Gundam? I heard V is even more sexist than Z, and if it is i cant really fathom how itd be possible to enjoy that as entertainment. I guess ill deal with that when i get to V myself, but the gender crap in Zeta has already lowered it from an 8 to a 4 imo, so im genuinely dreading the moment i finish F91 and move on to V.

Mecha that dive into gender dynamics never seem to do it well. Darling in the Franxx was equally terrible, imo, but i digress.


I also heard he got much better with women after V, so i guess thats at least a light at the end of the tunnel.
