That they essentially flipped the roles of the federation and the insurgents was welcomed.

The characters were enjoyable, most having flaws, effectively demonstrating believable growth within the context of the series.

My original watching was spread over a couple of months, allowing me the opportunity to not experience the density of the series within a short amount of time.

I originally saw the series when Bandai put the complete series boxed set out in the US. It was the most out of left field release ever and I wanted it. I put the first disc in and was hooked from there. I love to marathon shows as it is, but damn Zeta was compelling. It took me about a week to watch the entire series but I absolutely loved it.

On another topic, my Admin bros Kickback and Sentai Tamashii just bought me a Master Grade Perfect Gundam for my birthday (which is today)

Been rewatching Gundam 00. I forgot how well paced it is. It has the pacing and development of something like the compilation movies, yet, its a show.

With me being in a super huge Gundam phase right now, I'm surprised I haven't just spent all of my money on 00 high grades yet. (Which all of my money would be about $20 lol).

I don't know if I should continue onto ZZ after Zeta or skip to a certain point of the show or just watch Char's Counterattack or what.

I'm an OCD freak. So I always say watch what comes chronologically next. And since ZZ picks up mere hours after the final episode of Zeta, it's very much a continuation. As I stated on the last page, it has it's drawbacks but it's still a great show.

Just power through ZZ, it's worth a watch. The hg00 line was prolific. Just about every ms design from the series was made. Needless to say, if there's an itch to scratch, they'll. Have something for you.

Well, happy birthday! If I remember correctly, it's built upon the 1.5 frame. It should be an interesting build and look awesome next to the build strike.

Quick question about HG Nadleeh. I know he doesn't come with the stuff that Virtue did, so do they sell those parts that it could use as weapons seperate from Virtue? I don't want to buy an MS I'm not a big fan of just to not assemble it just to get like 2 or 3 parts.

00 was when High Grades really became good, specifically the season 2 mechs are all great.

Thanks to Horrible Subs for releasing it.

It is one HELL of an episode as well. Brace yourselves for this one people. And it's probably a good idea to catch up on the first 6 too.

I'm waiting for the proper release. I've watched the dubs up until now so I'll probably stick to that.

These days I can't stand dubs. Just don't work for me anymore. Though I can still watch older shows like Zeta & Wing in dub.

And I know I posted this over at TFW, but I figured you guys needed to see it too. Ran across an unboxed Neo Zeong on twitter last night.

I kinda pity the craftsmen who like to completely repaint their model kits. All that painting to do...
