I was expecting worse. But it's in the tradition of Katoki.

Anyone want to tell me a synopsis of Zeta Gundam, as with the imminent release of it I'm curious about it.

Heero_Yuy84 · Post by **Heero_Yuy84** » Tue Sep 07, 2004 3:50 pm

OK...long story short on Zeta:

UC 0083: After the events of Operation Stardust (hey, I can't say I was a big fan of the OVA, but it's a good way to set the stage,) the Earth Federation forms the special security branch known as the Titans to hunt down and take out any Zeon remnant groups.

Zoom forward

UC 0087: The universe is now of quite a different atmosphere from that of the One Year War. Most of the universe is now under the jack-booted heel of the Titans who, under the leadership of Jamitov Hymam and Bask Om, have taken it on themselves to use whatever force necessary to put down ANYTHING that can be seen as anti-Federation activity (one of the famous examples of this that comes up in the series is the 30th Bunch Incident, in which they used poison gas on a colony where a non-violent anti-EF protest was being held.)

With the EF unable to control that which they've created, a new group arises to challenge the Titans, the AEUG (or Anti-Earth United Government.) In spite of it's name, it's actually a combination of ex-Zeon as well as several EF officers who feel that the Titans have overstepped their bounds.

Caught up in the center of this conflict is a young boy and technical whiz-kid, Camille Vidan (...yeah, so the US release is spelling it Kamille Bidan...what can I say? Old habits die hard.) After a run-in with a Titans officer and stumbling onto an AEUG effort to try and steal the latest Titans MS, the Gundam Mk-II, he finds himself casting in his lot to try and put an end to the carnage.

The show is the first direct follow-up to the original series and features many returning faces including Amuro, Bright, Char, Hayato, Katz, and (albeit for only brief points) Mirai, Kai, Frau, and Sayla. Along with these, many new characters are introduced. While a dark addition to the franchise, still one of the best series in the timeline.

Gundam Wing was my favorite, much because I liked a more philosophical take on the war. Also Stardust Memory and SEED were excellent titles.

I don't think it would work on you. I know little about you and don't have a reason to flame you.

Gundam seed is so much better than all the other gundam crap I can call it a different series. The whole idea behind Newtypes is stupid.

Because genetic supermen with the ability to suddenly go into a super-mode is just THAT much better off.
