Kidou Senshi Gundam ZZ

In Universal Century 0088, the Anti-Earth Union Group (AEUG) has emerged victorious in its war with the Earth Federation's Titans at the cost of devastating losses. Neo-Zeon, the third faction in the war formerly known as Axis Zeon, remains as powerful as ever. Led by Newtype Haman Karn, Neo-Zeon has been implementing plans to take over both Earth and the space colonies.

The AEUG flagship Argama heads to the Side 1 colony Shangri-La for repairs. Living in the colony is Judau Ashta, a 14-year-old junk dealer who is struggling to make enough money to put his younger sister through school. Upon the discovery of an escape pod containing a former Titans pilot, Judau and his friends are quickly led to the Argama in hopes of stealing a mobile suit which they can sell for a fortune. However, with the arrival of a Neo-Zeon ship seeking to defeat the Argama, Judau and his friends are dragged into to a conflict that will bring them across space and Earth.

"Another addictive sequel "
Gundam ZZ is 3rd main installment in gundam U.C timeline which describes the struggle b/w axis zeon and AUEG in order to obtain power and ever lasting peace .The series evolves steadily, weaving humor, action, and drama into a cohesive experience that is both entertaining and emotionally impactful.

The characters are more mature in this part in comparison of prequels , this tonal shift might catch some off guard. You can see more varities in mechs too , i really liked designs .By blending humor and tragedy, the series creates a well-rounded journey that captures the complexity of ... war and recovery.

The highlight of this series is rivalvary b/w our mc judau and villian hamman . Mc aged like a wine , at first he was just a street rag but later he turned into something else , a pure motivated and admirable leader . Almost all characters are likable even you will not miss appearence of iconic characters like amuro ray . I think there isn't much need to describe gundam themes because whoever watches these kind of series or shows are mentally strong and well know what they are watching .

Mixed Feelings

ZZ gundam is a sequel/spinoff of zeta gundam. Originally it was supposed to resolve Kamille, Haman, and the Char/Amuro conflict. Midway through production CCA was greenlit and the plot was restructured, the result is a generally disconcerted and unfocussed narrative with some high-highs and terrible lows. The SoL is not executed masterfully but watching the Gundam team slowly (SLOWLY) mature and come together is nice. If you are a gundam fan you will probably be fine with this. Honestly what happens is inconsequential and you could honestly skip this and go right to Char's Counterattack. Fa deserved better, Kamille deserved better, Haman deserved better, and ... Bright deserved to see his family.


Anime Ja Nai.

I tried my best to give Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ a test-run, but this was one of the toughest Gundams for me to make it through. Coming off of Zeta Gundam, I was expecting the show to just keep building in the dark, dramatic way that it had begun, but instead, it does a complete flip. The tone changes from serious to goofy overnight, basically, and in all honesty, I had a hard time adjusting. There are some points where you can tell where there could be a reasonable continuation, but for the most part, it feels like the show has no conception of what ... it is. And I suppose, to be kind, the animation isn't awful for its time period. It's not movie-quality or anything, but it's of a quality such that the fights aren't absolutely unwatchable. The voice acting and music do their job, nothing special, but not bad either.

The biggest problem for me was the new cast. I swear, Amuro and Kamille irritated me, but this new crop of kids got me missing them. Most of them are written as obnoxious, snotty, or just plain unlikable characters, and it was hard for me to get to care about them. Mondo and Beecha especially tested my patience since they were never consistent for the majority of the series. Elpeo was also annoying, although not always, and Emary was a wasted character since her whole thing was awkward and uncomfortable. Judau, Elle, and Roux were the only characters that I came to kind of like. Judau, at least, is a good kid and isn't constantly whining like past heroes, and at the end, I liked how much he cared about his friends and sister. For the villainous side, the only character who truly stuck out was Haman Karn. She still has presence and gravitas, but most of the individuals in her entourage appeared to be a joke, either obsessed with her or too strange to be taken seriously.

The show itself just appeared to be all over the place. The first half in particular dragged with too much absurdity, and I was actually bored or irritated throughout much of it. It does catch up a little bit later on, especially after the environment shifts and stakes feel more real, but it never truly swept me away. It didn’t help that the returning characters don’t really do much, which just made ZZ feel even more disconnected from the earlier series. By the end, I wasn't mad so much as exhausted. I gave Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ a 4/10. If you're like me, a Gundam completionist, you'll likely just grit your teeth and power through just to get to Char's Counterattack, but if you're not, I really feel like you'd be better off just reading a summary or watching a quick recap. It'll save you the headache.
