MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM ZZ

i know this is supposed to be way more comedic than zeta. the main character is judau, i assume haman karn is the main villain, i know it's divisive. idk anything else that i can think of. the zz gundam looks ugly, but maybe i'll like it more in motion

Episode 2: The Young Man from Shangri-La

i'm skipping the first episode since it's a recap, and i think it has info on the beginning of zz that i'd rather just come across naturally

i liked that as a first episode! sets things up, manages a tone shift that isn't jarring, good character beats.

Episode 3: The Knight of the Endra

still no opening?

this is a lot of fun. not much to say

Episode 4: Hot Blooded Mashymre

i just realized my torrent just doesn't include the openings for zz. bummer, it did for zeta and 0079. did the blu-rays not have it?

again, good episode! not too much of consequence, but i'm enjoying myself a lot

Episode 5: Judau's Decision

i guess they're going to join the argama here?

liking zz a lot so far. i think i'm reaching about the point where i need plot to start happening, but the tone is really working for me despite how big a shift from the end of zeta it is

Episode 6: The Menace of the Zssa

what's a zzsa? guess we'll find out!

not wild about this one, but it was firmly alright. the comedy didn't land, but the fight and the plot were decent

Episode 7: The Gaza Storm

i'm liking this chunk a lot, but i do hope they start doing things soon

it's alright! i don't love it, but it's perfectly fine.

Episode 8: The Funeral Bell Tolls Twice

rip to whoever's dying i guess

glad to see things are moving! let's keep it up!

Episode 9: Judau in Space

judau in space? he's been in space this whole time! that's where the colony is!

this show is pretty solid! it's not anything special, but it's consistent so far. people said it had a rough start, but honestly this has all been pretty good

Episode 10: Sayonara Fa

oh, are we getting rid of fa? bummer

ultimately i'm not that mad about fa, but it does rub me the wrong way. gundam has done female characters so much dirtier before though, and i'm sure it will do so again. elle and roux and leina are all neat, and i hope they stay that way

Episode 11: Activate, Double Zeta!

https://neocities.org/site_files/text_editor/zzgundam.html# gonna be switching to a less detailed liveblog style here, since the last one was getting to be a bit much i'm a bit cooler on the show than i was at first but i'm enjoying it enough

Episode 12: Leina Vanishes

this was a pretty good episode! i like the leina getting captured plotline and am excited to see it moving forward

Episode 13: Little Sister

if it wasn't episode 13 of 47 i'd be worried for leina's safety with a title like that

Episode 14 and 15: Moon Moon

i've heard some things about moon moon...

Episode 25: Rommel's Face
