Well, after I finished watching Zeta Gundam I felt compelled to write a text about my experience watching the anime and describe the negative and positive aspects of the work.
Zeta Gundam is undoubtedly one of the most praised Gundams by the community, but that does not mean that he does not have any inconsistencies.
The year is Universal Century 0087. Seven years have passed since the end of the One Year War. In its zeal to eliminate any remaining opposition, the Earth Federation organized the Titans, an elite combat force. However, the Titans soon get out of control, committing atrocities on a par with the worst that the Principality of Zeon had to offer during the war. In response, dissatisfied citizens, former soldiers of Zeon and even members of the Federal Earth Forces form a resistance group known as the Anti-Earth Union Group, or AEUG. As the next war is brewing, a small AEUG group arrives at Side 7 to investigate the new Gundam Mk ll.
Animation: Well, it's clear that the animation has improved a lot compared to the Gundam of 79, both on the part of the character design and the part of the mecha. I really wanted Zeta to have a soundtrack to match the action / battle parts, and I think this is one of the points where Zeta sins the most.
Characters: Kamille, in my opinion he is one of the characters I dislike in theZeta, because he is quite impulsive and acts without thinking about the consequences of his actions and without considering his options and often, these actions end up, including, harming the people around you.
Char Aznable: He's my favorite character from Gundam and undoubtedly one of Zeta's strongest points, compared to Char 79, and I think he's had an incredible development over the years. Not to mention the sensational background he had in Origin. Ithink the interaction he has with Amuro in some parts is incredible and one of them is the iconic phrase "I came here to laugh at you" although they were rivals in 79 they changed a lot in the way of thinking and I was happy that both made up.
I think the "romance" between Kamille and Four is one of the things that bothered me the most about Zeta, I think that romance doesn't suit Gundam much. It's very cliché and it gets to be quite boring at almost every moment, and there are also other things I didn't like.
I think Qum and Shinta are the only kids I didn't like about Zeta, because there are some moments when it gets to be super boring and stressful.
I think that some female characters could stand out more, I think the only one that had a better development was Reccoa, despite, and because of Quattro's indifference to her feelings for him, she eventually deserted the Titans under the spell charismatic of Paptimus Scirocco, that is, since she doesn’t have a male that satisfies on the side of the good guys she preferred to join the enemy, she is the only one in whom I managed to see a small development, but I still hate her for her attitudes.
So, even with these inconsistencies, Zeta manages to be very good and presented me with several cool moments and I think it was worth taking a while to finish the anime.
