>>31333075>>31330520Yeah, once you realize that the tropes Gundam has (kid finds super powered war machine and is the only one that can pilot it) are actually handled pretty well and for the time they were completely new, it gets more bearable.
Zeta is... well, kinda like the Evangelion before Evangelion, I've come to find. But with 50 episodes and writing that is decent at best and moronic at worst. Expect to cheer when people you were supposed to care about die. ZZ is the result of scrapped plans and overall an "oh shit what do we do now" experience stretched to, again, 50 episodes. No wonder the creators hardly if ever talk about anything related to it.
tl;dr watch the original, watch war in the pocket, watch 08th MS team, then try watch Zeta, then Stardust Memories.
