lol domestic violence with <3

First, I really liked the beginning. Although Kamille starts off as some angsty teenager, I liked the fact that he actually steals a gundam and goes off and joins an opposing faction for his own selfish reasons. Even if it is a result of random teenager acting on impulsive thoughts, I liked the idea behind it. He's not already a pilot and there's no "oops I just happened to be here when we get attacked and no one else is around, guess I'll just hop into this mobile suit and see what happens!" Nope, he actually purposely sneaks into the facility and steals it.

The idea of Cyber-Newtypes was pretty cool. I like that they didn't just create OP soldiers but went with emotionally and psychologically unstable people instead. As annoying as they were at times, they were portrayed well. It made the Titans seem like even bigger assholes for messing with people's minds and threatening them in some cases (i.e. Four's memory). The way Kamille is instinctively drawn to them which causes others and the viewers to worry about another Amuro-Lalah tragedy is interesting too. It seemed liked they focused a lot on cyber-newtypes in favor of overall plot/politics, and I would've preferred a more equal balance. However, all the cyber newtype problems did serve to develop Kamille's character quite nicely. The whole NT magic stuff, especially at the end, I just accepted as NT magic so that was entertaining. Magical barrier lol. too good.

Characters I didn't like: personally, I really hated Jerid. I liked that he acted as Kamille's rival but his logic/personality pisses me off. First, he blames Kamille every time someone close to him gets killed, which is sort of reasonable. But this is war and it's not like they were killed in some sneaky, cowardly manner. They died in the heat of battle so blaming Kamille as if he's some cruel murderer really annoyed me, but I can understand that much. But he also killed Kamille's mom and he was like "oh lol sorry too bad for you." wtf? Doesn't feel anything about killing innocents but gets mad when soldiers die in battle? Then he kills Apolly and just goes "it's war get over yourself" YOU GET OVER YOURSELF. I'll admit though, being Jerid is suffering. He went through a lot of crap...but I still hate him.

Other 2 characters that I didn't like: Katz and Reccoa. Reccoa's betrayal was interesting at first but her reasoning is dumb which made me dislike her, but she's a woman and probably doesn't even know how to make sandwiches so I'll let that go. Katz I had hopes for but he failed me and ended up dying in a pathetic manner. I swear 4/5 of the time he pilots something, it's against orders and he never learns. People keep going "you're going to get yourself killed" and he doesn't listen and then he dies! Even Fa, who was dumb too, matured by the end.

I think the biggest pacing issue was somewhere between halfway and the end. Just remember being bored with it and then it got better again last ~10 eps. But although at times I felt nothing important was happening, looking back, it was done really well. The major battles were all spread out and semi-major characters did die here and there (although usually Titans). One other thing I didn't like was the romance was poorly done but this is obviously a personal issue and isn't really a valid complaint. Oh also, not enough Scirocco development. Such an interesting/mysterious character but, at least in Zeta, we never really find out much about him.

Also, wtf kids? They're so random. I don't care whether they are there or not but where in the world did they come from? Who's kids are they? Char just brings them to space to have fun? Did I miss something? o.o

Lol, honestly this was one of the parts I didn't like. I know Kamille is an autistic kid, but that whole train of events turned me off. But afterwards I thought it got alot better.


Now when I call Zeta Gundam a Super Robot show, you can understand the joke!


lol Jerid. He served his purpose, but I didn't like him either. Was amusing at how every woman he ever touched got killed by Kamille.


Its pretty much universal that everyone hates those two characters. I'm glad they died, fuck them.


Scirocco is the Mysterious Man from Jupiter, who is also a pimp. In Gundam Dynasty Warriors 3, Scirocco makes it his mission to go around and recruit his own personal harem from all the different Gundam shows, even attempted Haman! That game and its cross-overs, lol.

What did you think of the "Tomino Kill'em All" Ending?

The kids were some dead general of the AEUG's and he was asked to take care of them iirc. That or Char was just showing his paedophile self more and more. Didn't make them any less annoying though.
