I'm one of those people who dislike ZZ Gundam. Whilst I understand the reason why the series went for a more light-hearted tone, it's the way it was written, it could have worked but it does not. Other than the main character, who has more charisma and likeability than Kamille, all the new characters are either OK or are so unlikeable that you don't care about them. The majority of the series just didn't click with me and the only thing going for it was the Gundam fights, which are good but not great when compared to Zeta's fights. A massive highlight goes to Haman Karn, for as weak as the series is, she's a great villain, and pretty scary in a lot of ways.

In terms of characters I didn't like, Mashymre Cello's a SIMP, Glemy Toto's a SIMP but admittedly gets better, Chara Soon is annoying but later events with her is super bleak, Shinta and Qum from Zeta are surprisingly likeable in this series, seeing the stuff they've seen in Zeta probably made them more mature and don't make me want to hit my head on the wall.

For those who say that the series gets better, yeah, it gets a little better when the series is almost over. A certain event in Dublin reeks of desperation to show that it's going to be darker now but it far too little too late. The ZZ Gundam Mobile Suit is not my favourite main Gundam in the series, it looks like it was made to be a toy right from the get go, it reminds me of the Megazord from Power Rangers. ZZ Gundam has some good moments, I won't lie, but I don't like the tonal shift and I don't think it was done well, it could have slowly shifted into that tone instead of the whiplash that ruined any chance of me enjoying it through to the end. But if you like it, then all the more power to you. As for me, I probably like my Gundam series where war is personal and messed up but with some humanity woven well.
