I started Zeta Gundam now that I finished the MSG movies. Man, Kamille's motivations don't resonate with me. I can only assume there's hidden history to him, otherwise impulsive does not begin to explain his actions. He just comes across as psychotic since we haven't seen the "normal" him, only him once he starts acting out. I don't dislike him, but I have no read on his character at all besides "doesn't like to be bullied."

Kamille is my second favorite Gundam pilot, but it does take him about 10 episodes before he really starts to shine.

I will say, it was infinitely ammusing and satisfying to see him just fucking flip out the very first time we see his name mocked. It isn't even really mocked, but you can tell from his outburst it's clearly something he's been teased about a lot for what's barely more than a mention to set him off. I think the oppression of the Titans is too much of an informed attribute to start. The narraton said they were bad, but we weren't treated to any scenes of them being all that bad along with it.

The only thing I don't get though is why he totally ignored his mother. In MSG, Amuro became estranged from his mom because the war was changing him into someone he wasn't, and he wasn't dealing with it especially well. Here Kamille just brushes off his mom like he doesn't give a shit. He comes across incredibly disaccociated, and really seems like how Amuro was halfway through MSG, but without all the events that turned Amuro that way. But I am only three episodes in.

I'm not sure if you reached the moment yet, but Kamille also says he is autistic, which adds to him being the way he is.

He outright said it? I always thought it was sort of implicit in the way he acted and I don't remember him saying it outright.

Yeah, I can't remember which episode it is. Plus, it might depend if you are watching it dubbed or subbed since he says it in Japanese. I couldn't even make it through 5 minutes of the dub to Zeta. Hell, Quattro's speech from later on in the series is so boring in English.

Quattro's speech in English at least makes for an opening rap verse.

I'm afraid to click on that.

EDIT:

After enjoying the first 4 episodes to A Series of Unfortunate Events we watched episodes 5-7 of IBO's second season. They were good, but man I feel really bad for Takaki. I'm glad he did what he did at the end of the last episode though. I'm also surprised that he doesn't hold any hard feelings towards McGillis, but then, they never really showed those two together, so he may. I hope we learn more about the story McGillis was telling Mika about though, because that sounded interesting.

Hey remember that new Super Fumina that was coming out that everyone thought was based on the WZC?

Turns out it's based on the Qubeley of all things:

and shockingly she's a retail release.
