Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam

Sounds like the continuation of Gundam Origin. Guess we can expect an anime of this in like 10 years

Just finished episode 3. Kamille is still a dumb, way too reckless kid, but maybe the death of his mom will wisen him up a bit.

I love the rest, though. All those adult characters are great, such a nice contrast to modern anime where kids and teenagers are the only smart ones. Wondering why Bright ended up on the side of these terrible Titan-guys, though. This is what you defeated Zeon for? :/

The animation quality is also a nice step up from the first Gundam.

PS: The continued slaps are hilarious.

Are you watching the series or the OVA/movies?

Watching the whole of Gundam series from the beginning. Finally finished the first anime (where Amura becomes Gundam-pilot aboard the Trojan Horse), now continuing with Zeta Gundam, the series. The movies are compilations afaik and I've read from many people that the TV-series is better than the movies.

Episode 4:

For all the dumb overreacting, NOW Kamille choose to quite underreact, considering his mom just got killed. lol. I wish he would have done more, like "I swear I will kill all members of the GIANTS", and he left the guy responsible for the death off the hook way too quickly. I wouldn't have listened to anyone in that situation and crushed at least that asshole.

What I really like right now about this anime is the more even, balanced setup of fighters. Now, maybe this will change, but in the original Gundam, it was Amuro and then nobody, the entire fate of the heroes rested on his shoulders. At the end of episode 4 of Zeta Gundam, however, we have a team consisting of Kamille, Char, Emma, as well as the crew of that ship, and all of them make a more than capable impression on me. It feels more plausible, grounded in reality, for this team to achieve great things.
