Whoops I ranked this way too high for some reason. Maybe I thought it was a different Gundam being animated? Honestly this should be like twenty spots lower than it currently is. Zeta Gundam definitely has a few cool ideas going for it. Quattro Bajeena is pretty much constantly amazing. Char was cool in the original Gundam, and hes quite possibly even cooler here. His I came here to laugh at you is probably the greatest quote in all Gundam (though G has some good zingers too). Being a straight sequel is pretty cool too. Usually long original shows dont get pure sequels to the original. The opening is really pretty for an old anime, and some of the crew members are cool. Unfortunately, it has a lot of problems.

Kamille is sometimes an entertaining protagonist, but he complains a lot, and his development goes in circles. The series is way too long - from episode 20-45 or so the battles with the enemies basically just have the enemies running away and swearing to come back again and win every time. Jerid especially is bad for this. The group of bad guys is really lame (the Titans, I think it was?) and the good guys are hard to cheer for too. This couldve been intentional to make things more morally ambiguous, but they feel more unrealistically evil than anything. After a lot of stalling, the last few episodes are packed with everything happening, but its super rushed. Tons of people die and the war dramatically changes course. I feel like this shouldve happened over the course of the last 13+ episodes, not just the last three or four. I know it hits hard for some people. It just didnt for me.
