I’m a long time Gundam fan boy, got started on Wing on Toonami as a kid and then 0079, G, and a few other series. But I had never gotten around to watching anything after the one year war in the UC timeline, until now.
The lines are so blurred. Zaku’s launching from Fed ships? Titans beating up on Capt. Bright of all people. Char has assumed a fake identity in the AEUG faction to continue fighting for his ideals. OH YEA AND WHAT ABOUT THE FEDS GASSING AN ENTIRE COLONY. The whole thing is a giant mess and I love it. Camille legitimately makes me frustrated so much and I love that he just keeps getting slapped multiple times every episode.
I personally love the spacenoid sentiment that since they have the technology to live off of earth, they wish to do so and let earth return to its natural processes.
Side note, if anyone wants to talk about the series with me here, please avoid spoilers, I’m only about 9 episodes in currently.
Char??? I think you mean Quattro Bajeena. A completely different guy.
I do find it really funny that the Titans use Hizacks, and the AEUG uses Nemos. The idea that the Federation would just abandon all the design language of the GM and adopt a more powerful Zaku is very silly.
I get it’s a cartoon and bad guys gotta use the bad guy robots, but it still feels fourth wall-breaking.
yeah he reminds of me this character in mgs2, pliskin. that was never explained and he stopped showing up when snake came back.
agreed with op, though. zeta is magnificent. the 80s soundtrack, the totally hit or miss mobile suits (and the HYAKU SHIKI, one of the best MS ever). and that ending sax melody in the na version is one of the most beautiful horns compositions ever created.
