What can i say. I'm enjoying watching this Gundam much more than previous ones. Tags says it is 'comedy, drama etc.', so i think it will get more serious later, but addition of comedy is really welcome and feels like a real refreshment to series.

Awww, c'mon, saymi! Previous Gundam was so dark ant dramatic that even main character went insane in the end. We don't want Judau to end like Kamille, do we? ;D

I like this one more too. Which is strange because I normally would prefer something dark and heavy like Zeta. Tomino just has this wonderful sense of humor that I would have never expected.

True, but it's hard to adapt to a funny and almost ridiculous Gundam after Zeta. It feels like they don't really take seriously what happened before just as jokes. I don't really like these kind of turns in a story.

Funny how every episode, the pilot's door always lock (sorry, I don't speak english so well).

Anyway, it's becoming somewhat funny. I hope it gets more serious later, as most of the people say.

Yeaah, this entire series is just a joke. Just look at this:



Giant robots attacking schools...Yeesh. How is this in the same series as Char's epic headshot?

It's better than his romance, at least. He could have written his comedy outside of the Gundam universe. I wonder what Char's Counterattack is?

I lost it when Marshmyre started worshiping the flower and Gottn walked in on him. xD

He is like Nina Einstein obsessed with Haman I wouldn't be surprised if he does naughty stuffs towards the flower.

I actually like how it went from dark to comedy it gives sort of relaxed atmosphere before this series will likely take a dark turn once more. Cause this is Tomino writing right? He will find a way to make it just as dark and depressing as Zeta and Victory eventually.

alright this is starting to get a bit tedious. Im all for comedy in series like this cause honestly having light hearted moments make the darker moments have more impact. However they just are doing alot of things wrong, yazan a deadly antagonist that killed half of the cast of zeta is now being used for slapstick, Fa who while not the most experienced pilot but could hold her own and by god she survvived zeta thats a fucking accomplishment is now all of the sudden completly useless in a fight.

That just bothers me and this would had worked much better had this been a standalone experience rather than a direct sequel. Cause so far i actually kind of like certain parts of the comedy especially the rose guy, but in context alot of things bother me especially since all those character died in the show likely a day or 2 ago.

Quite the refreshment. This is so much better than the latter half of Zeta, and Marshmellow is a funny, likeable guy.

I see myself growing tired of this silliness real soon though—why is veteran pilot Fa suddenly so useless?

Because if Fa or Yazan were allowed to be the pilots they were in Zeta Gundam, they would roflstomp their enemies. Yazan was an Ace Titan Pilot who tied with Kamille several times. Fa had several kills in Zeta and survived the Gryps War unassisted.

Fa, Yazan and later Haman are nerfed in skills to make the new pilots (Judau and co) look good. The problem arises is that Judau uses slapstick and dumb luck to pull out his victories in the early episodes rather than skill.

This show seems pretty shit at first... especially coming in from the masterpiece that is zeta... but it really does get a bit better halfway through, till definitely not to zeta levels and all the characters still act very annoying at times compared to Kamille but it does get better... but it is a fact zeta is better i dunno how anyone could think ZZ is better.

She doesn't . I finished it, I kept holding out hope for this show to get better because of her. THe show gets OK n the middle but then pretty bad for the ending again.

Where Haman was soo intimidating in Zeta in this they make her fall in love with 14 year old or whatever Judau for no reason. Everytime you see her she just tries to convince judau to join her..



How could they do this to Haman after the masterpiece that was Zeta?

after finishing zeta I expected soooo much more from Haman. I am extremely disappointed. I thought it was getting better from like 20-35 .. the colony drop part is pretty cool and puru 2 and puru have some good parts... theres some cool desert battles in those parts... then the end just sucks. This show got OK n middle then failed to redeem itself.


Think about how much better UC gundam would be as a whole if instead of making ZZ and Char's Counter Attack they made ZZ an actual continuation of zeta, and continue the dark feel / tragedy.. and resolve Haman's storyline first 25 eps then resolve Char/ Amuro rivalry last 25 eps like in CCA then UC Gundam would be like best show of all time.


these 47 eps of ZZ drag the UC Gundam as a whole down ALOT.

I wish there was a way to skip them without having to watch Zeta movies which change too much.

Great episode!

Lol Zeta has got some Boxing moves XD

Still that Cello guy can be pretty crazy. He's crazy affection to Haman has no bounds. Kinda lol'd at the commander entering his room while he does his Haman ceremony XD

I still can't believe after 50 episodes of Zeta. Fa still don't know how to use Zeta :P

I know she uses her Methuss, but man she should know Zeta by now.

Can't wait for the next episode!

Despite the overall atmosphere of self-aware silliness, I honestly didn't believe this show could manage to get any dumber even if it tried.

But holy fucking shit it did! Fa getting so nerf'd she can't even get rid of some dimwitted fatass in a Hi-Zack tier mobile suit, when this bitch fought and survive a fucking war (and the AEUG v. Titans one, at that, where the bodycount for named characters was notoriously high). Tomino be pushing the disrespect so far that she gets called a shit pilot by no other than the very same cheeky cunt who during an episode will spend more time trying not to fall off the fucking Gundam than actually piloting it. But now suddenly he's able to engage an enemy MS in a... mecha fist-fight? Seriously, Tomino?

I mean, what is this shittery? What is life? Did the entirety of Zeta Gundam turn out to be some kind of edgy AU auto-fanfiction that the author doesn't acknowledge as canon anymore, or something? Fuck that.
At this point the only thing that keeps me watching is how stupidly hilarious the comedy is. And even that is gonna reach its limit soon if everything else keeps pissing me off like that.

- And the comedic parts are suddenly terrible and annoying (except maybe the religious worshipping)

@FMmatron Mashymre was one of the nicest surprises for me in this series (along ZZ's most popular character, at least in Japan). Too bad they suddenly removed him from the screen later.

Man, I know I'm in the minority now, but I thought his episode was an absolute hoot. The junk dealer losing because he got dizzy?! Cello's rose worship being interrupted by his subordinate (who may just be my favorite character in this show, the guy's reactions to Cello are gold) and the randomness of the kids going to school simply because it'd cause the junk dealer to threaten innocents. I really like Tomino's wackiness and I have since the first Gundam series, and his is the show where that is pushed to the front.

I totally see how others hate this, but what can I say? Just plain fun, almost Ranma 1/2 level fun.

I honestly really enjoyed the first 4 episodes immensely, but this was just dreadful, i especially hate what they did to Fa in this episode, she was never the best pilot in Zeta, but she was totally incompetent here

And what the hell was up with the subs?
I really can't imagine a gundam saying Pussy and Fag, considering i dont even think those exist in Japenese

Okay, mini rant over, but terrible episode.

This is ZZ giving Zeta fans and especially people who are either fans of or grew to greatly tolerate Fa a gigantic middle finger! Way to somehow turn Fa into a joke, losing to chumps and making Judau look like a competent pilot by comparison. The humor is ever worse than ever and the new junkyard character is insufferable.

Anddddd the cracks are beginning to show. It has the Gundam feel, but the goofy comedy elements seem so out of place that it makes you yearn for old Gundam.

Knowing that a geek like Mashymre is the main protagonist is not the most reassuring thing. His obsession with Haman is pretty over the top and he is totally blinded by the fact she is using him.. but that is what makes it funny. I'm a little conflicted as those comedy elements are fun, but they ran out of steam as the show progressed. Also, why was Fa so incompetent in Zeta? I have no memory from Zeta Gundam that she was an awful pilot and she took out soldiers in battle a billion times more tougher than some blown up ass like the junker dude.

I will say Judau and Bright are still the highlights of the show for me.

When I see Mashymre's daydreams about Haman, I almost want them to be turned into a shoujo manga xD
I lost it when he was meditating while flying in the air with his rose

I guess it was the first time Fa piloted Zeta, and her skills really diminished lol. Also, where did that Haro on the roof come from?

People in this show seem to have a problem with closing hatches.

Even Gottn is facepalming at Mashymre's daydreaming haha

This episode was the silliest and the most pointless one so far, though it was so bad that it managed to remain funny, and I hope ZZ will manage to recover from that and start the actual plot going. But I admit that I'm having a lot of fun with these early episodes. Though I agree that Fa and Yazan got nerfed

Cello is really funny. That scene with him praying to Haman really cracked me up.

Also, is it just me, or did Fa get nerfed in-between Zeta and ZZ? There were reasons why Amuro and Kamille were talented as pilots, but I don't understand why Judau would be better than Fa, seeing as she was a perfectly acceptable pilot by the end of Zeta.
