I put ZZ on hold temporarily, I was actually thinking of watching Victory Gundam next instead. ZZ has that reputation for being kind of crap, but Victory Gundam seems really divisive and I've always wondered if it was good or not ever since I first heard about it. I picked it up on Blu-Ray so I finally have a chance to find out.
Rose of Versailles is to shoujo what LotGH is to space opera, or Akira is to cyberpunk. It is a classic in every sense of the word, I always say that newer stuff is just as good as older stuff as long as you look in the right places, but that doesn't apply to stuff like Rose of Versailles - it's the kind of sweeping epic that they really don't make anymore. I highly recommend it and if you have even a passing interest in shoujo, it is a literal must-watch. What sweetened the deal for me was seeing the visual style in it that influenced Utena, since Utena is far and away my favorite anime.
I picked up ZZ from RightStuf, decided to bite the bullet and watch it myself too. I've only watched the first episode so far but...yea that first episode didn't inspire confidence. But I've heard the same things about it improving, so I'll keep rolling along and give it a chance.
Awesome I hope you enjoy Cross after Trigger. Out of curiosity you playing on SNES or DS?
You could argue that more grounded entries like 08th MS Team and especially 0080: War in the Pocket capture that theme better, but the melodrama and scale of Zeta Gundam's ending connected with me more. It felt grand and operatic, like a Greek tragedy rather than a war novel. But, as usual, it also had issues with characters doing stupid things for apparently no reason. So it's not perfect by any means.
If you move on to ZZ, let me know if that turns out any good. I've actually never watched it.
That's not gonna net ya much good will. Just some friendly advice.
