It's been known to be an OVA from the very beginning. It was never supposed to be anything else.

Should I watch ZZ Gundam before I watch Zeta Gundam fully (I only seen Zeta Gundam once back in 2002)? I do want to watch all of the Gundam shows and buy the blu-rays in the US to support more releases.

So question, I just recently learned that the SEED HD remasters got rid of the clip shows and the stock footage, cutting the show down to 48 episodes. Did they do the same with the remaster of Destiny?

While the show doesn't have the gravity of the main Gundam series (save for G), it has fun and does its own tournament style thing. There's still MS fights, and they are really cool, and they have matchups you will never see in any Gundam show proper due to suits being from different continuities ( Example: A modified version of the Strike fighting a modified version of the Char Zaku II). The only time it really gets really toyetic is when the characters talk about the specifics of building Gundam models, and the gimmicks some of the suits and teams have. |

I get that, but I'm over the tournament gameplay anime genre.
Another thing Guyver, you need to look at Zeta and ZZ really as one long 97 episode series. EDIT: Well I finished the last disc to ZZ tonight and now I'm depressed since it is going to be a month before I can finish it. God I love this show. The episodes on the third disc are all fantastic from a nice three parter that has Judau meeting Haman for the first time to a really goofy, yet tragic, set of episodes afterwards and then the last episode is when the start of the hell breaking loose begins. Oh man these are so enjoyable. I also love how Haman tries to seduce Judau to get him to join her side because she realizes how powerful his Newtype abilities are while he is scared shitless of her. Great stuff, just down right great stuff. EDIT 2: You know what I would love to see? A Gundam OVA series on the Battle of Odessa. Have like each episode star a different character from a different point of view on it. One episode could be on a regular Feddie grunt. The next could be on a Zeon commander. After that they could do one on a civilian living where the battle takes place. And so on. That just seems like the Battle of Odessa was such an important battle for the Federation that this would have been an obvious choice for Surnise to put more focus on in a side story.

So I watched the first Origin episode and it wasn't bad, but they seemed to have altered a bit of the continuity. Nevertheless, they did a nice job of creating the characters to look like something Tomino would do and it was nice to hear the old Zabi theme music playing. I don't feel this prequel was entirely necessary (although, it is only the first episode), but it was harmless. I'm looking forward to checking out the next episode though.

Anyways, Watch Mojo created another Top 10 Gundam list, this time on Gundam characters. It's their list, so I really can't complain too much. Although I would have put Setsuna at #1, but I can see their reasoning for making Amuro #1. Did you know anime also did a Gundam 00 video which I love. I never knew that Sunrise specifically looked for people who didn't know Gundam all that well. I think they created a fantastic show as a result. As a result, I'm now more open to new people coming in to already existing franchises. |
