I just got to the part where Jerid's second love interest died in the same way the first one did. This show can't do anything right in writing love interests LMAOOO

Your Zeta Gundam review covered nearly everything wrong with the show. It's Uber bloated and did NOT need 50 episodes. Currently I'm on episode 24 and the show loves to drag its feet. The Kamille harem plotline is garbage. None of the women feel fleshed out within the context of the harem and outside of it, only Four is has a character separate from it. The love stories in general are so rushed it makes me question why Amuro and Kamille's girls weren't written to know or date each other before the start of the series with how familiar they act. Char is arguably a secondary protagonist in the og MSG since he's more of a rival than THE main threat. Char in this series is a decent at best mentor for Kamille and is nowhere near as compelling as himself in MSG. The show builds up Jaburo for like 6 episodes without any sense of mystery, intrigue, dread or excitement. Its not something to look forward to or be wary of, absolutely no atmosphere. The wait for the Jaburo assault is terrible, random encounters occurring like and RPG while the show key jingles legacy characters that sometimes don't even need to appear. A good example would be Amuro's first appearance in his mansion. Completely unnecessary introduction with no characterization for that point in the story. Anyways once the story stops dragging its feet, the Jaburo conflict comes and goes in a very mundane way. There is minimal tactics and some characters who barely matter get freed. Jerid and Kamille's rivalry isn't even expanded upon. All this to say the show very much sucks at presentation, something you mentioned in passing with your point about the newtype psychic nonsense. I could go on with the flaws but I'll end this overly long response. Your review was very cathartic, making me feel like I wasn't in an insane asylum for hating "the peak of Gundam." Continue to talk that talk brother.

I really liked your Eureka Seven review; you did a nice job succinctly describing exactly what the show is and what it does well.
