They had to make Fa become a complete incompetent in order to make the new crew members look better.She was becoming a lot better by the end of Zeta Gundam, then she gets a reset in ZZ.Fuck this shit.I hope sunrise will remake ZZ and fix all the crap nobody likes.
Fa was always (to her own admission) a dogshit pilot, she was the reason Apolly died.
>>23878611>Anyone else hates ZZ?Most people do
No, but I hate you, OP.
>>23878611Yeah, that really pissed me off about ZZ too.The show gets better when the opening changes to Silent Voice, until then though its like a 4/10.
>>23878611ZZ was a better series than Zeta. Just purely on its merits as an animated series. This isn't a shitpost, just something I honestly believe
ZZ is great and I unironically enjoyed it more than Zeta.>ITS TOO SILLY AND ITS ABOUT WARPlease read about any well-documented war and realize people do retarded shit all the time during war.
>>23878611I'm currently watching for the first time, and so far my impressions are not good, though my understanding is the first half is the worst part. I'm about two episodes after Puru showing up for the first time.>All the seriousness of previous seasons is gone and it's turned into a goofy cartoon.>The villains aren't portrayed seriously enough to be a threat and as such, there's no real stakes and every episode is just kinda blurring into the others.>Nothing happened for like half of what I've watched so far.>Judau doesn't have much of a character arc so far, Amuro and Kamille both had to learn harsh lessons when faced with the reality of combat and life as an adult, Judau hasn't learned a fucking thing yet.>The animation seems lazier than Zeta. Seems like a step backwards towards the 'just drag a still image of a couple doms and GM's across the screen past each other' animation of MSG after Zeta really took a huge step forwards from that.>Haman seems very out of character, but admittedly I don't feel she got enough time in Zeta for me to really understand her as a character. Still she's gone from serious non-nonsense cutthroat bitch to just generic nice ruler lady. Maybe that's just filtered through Mashmyre's POV though.Positives though.>ZZ gundam seems powerful as fuck... but they've only actually shown off that raw power effectively in a single scene and ever since then it's basically been treated no different than the Zeta gundam.>I like how Judau actually struggles to learn to operate mobile suits initially, as opposed to falling into the cockpit and instantly knowing what all the controls do like Kamille and Amuro did.>The use of dummy asteroids has lead to some creative tactics and scenes which have been more interesting to watch than two MS just exchanging beam rifle fire.
>>23878773What is the common theme in those caps?
>>23878772I also genuinely feel this. I rewatched Zeta recently and will be rewatching ZZ soon, but my first time watching ZZ post-Zeta I found myself having a better time than with Zeta, per-se. I liked Zeta in some ways but ZZ was, at least to me, more entertaining, and I didn't see it as problematic as a continuation of Zeta's story either.
