Zeta :(

I feel like part of the reason why I've struggled so much with Zeta is because I watched the movie trilogy for 0079.

I'm deep into the part of the show where every episode feels basically the same with the same characters battling it out with the same antagonists, largely in the same settings (blank, wide open space) with no real material consequences that affect the plot. I find myself just waiting for the action to end more often than not.

This is the most Saturday morning cartoons Gundam has ever been for me and I think that's part of why it's taking me mooooonths to finish it.

I think this is an issue Zeta has even if you watched 0079 TV first (which does have episodic parts, but it changes up antagonists a lot and the bulk of the show takes place on Earth so there’s a little more variety). It’s part of why I’m overall lukewarm on Zeta despite loving a lot of pivotal episodes.

That's definitely interesting to hear! I'm trying not to judge Zeta too harshly when comparing it to the 0079 trilogy because I don't think it's a super fair comparison. So it's nice hearing from someone who's seen the original television series.

There are parts of Zeta that I like, but they just haven't outweighed the things that have made it much more of a slog or the general complaints I have from time to time about Tomino's character writing.

I also just feel like the writing team just isn't as sure about what they want to say with Zeta as they were with 0079, which felt like a much more focussed work thematically. But again, I don't know if that's just because I watched the movies.
