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.

This is not nearly as bad as everyone says it is. Yes, the comedy does throw you off, especially after the kick to the balls that was the zeta ending, but the life the comedy gives to the main cast (especially bright, who works best in comedy!) is crucial for establishing the new crew after zeta. Best overall cast out of the first four gundam stories.

Judau and his relationship with his sister(s) is the core of the series and is very very good. He's such a likeable protag, I can't help but root for him. Haman Karn is also so fucking good. Queen of ... a kingdom of ashes. Shes so good. Fa and Kamille's stuff was also very good, very cathartic. The dublin arc is great. I'm not too happy with Bright seemingly getting a lobotomy between the ending of zeta and zz, but i cant be too mad at him since his show switched target audiences.

The supporting cast was also super great. Chara Soon and mash were fantastically funny, I was so sad that Tomino had to undo their lobotomies in order to fit with the more serious portions of the later half.

The overall plot and themes were... okay, but i feel like i just didnt get everything so im not holding the showrunners to that.

Overall, highly recommend, don't skip zz!!

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.

Really sucks story I hope never watched kind of this story type.

The main character is fucking shit
Side character too was fucking shit
Story really bad
This is dumb shit

I quite like Z Gundam but ZZ is different story.

The way story maker put a lot a characters in one places and still keeping Camille was worse ever part.
...
Why the hell they keep animated this trash story to anime very wasting a lot of resources, time and energy to be honest.


Gundam deserve better story than this freaking dumb.



Overall 0,5/10
The Gundam and All mobile suite is very cool 10/10
