Since Saturday night around 11pm I have watched every episode of Zeta Gundam. 50 Episodes, 5 episodes per DVD, a bit over 2 hours per DVD, roughly 25 minutes of show. So I watched 20+ hours of Gundam in under 4 days. I'm exhausted.

Now for the review.

Let me get what I hated out of the way. Bright Noa and Amuro Ray had different voice actors than the other series. That is highly annoying. Luckily there's less Amuro but there's a ton of Noa.

The artwork is great, the mecha animation is great, so yea, it's really well drawn. The story is stellar and doesn't suffer from the failings of the first story, slow pacing. It started out fast and strong and stayed that way with very little distraction and diversions.

Kamille becoming a New Type ace pilot, getting over his fear of fighting and killing and finding his reason to fight are all handled well and better than any other Gundam series I've seen. Sure Char and Bright lecture him but he learns on his own by being thrust into a desperate situation.

The Newtype phenomenon was explored a great deal. From Kamille and Char with their natural abilities and the Cyber-Newtypes of Four Muarsame and Rosamia Badam the entire spectrum was explored. A lot of newtype heavy plot points and script moments were used and it can get slightly frustrating sorting it out.
