Moblie Suit Gundam -Zeta Gundam

[jeffpiatt]

the original series and the one that defined the tropes all future shows began to follow.
Moble Suit Gundam (1979) TV series

Universal Century 0079. The rebel space colonies of the Principality of Zeon launch a war of independence against the Earth Federation, using humanoid fighting vehicles called mobile suits to overwhelm the Federation Forces and conquer half of Earth's surface. Months later, the Federation has finally developed its own prototype mobile suits at a remote space colony. But when the colony suffers a Zeon surprise attack, these new weapons fall into the hands of a motley crew of civilians and cadets. Fate places a youth named Amuro Ray at the controls of the white mobile suit Gundam...

Sfdebris reviewed the Comp films that edited out some of the "to sell toys" accessories Clover the company who originally sponsored the show wanted. like Star trek it got canceled early

after the films sold so well they moved model kits of even the MSV line of units not shown in the shows but were fan submitted sub models of the shows MS like a Trainer GM or a Zaku tank Zeta Gundam was Green lit a sequel where the Fed has become more of a oppressive police state to end the zeon forces who refused to surrender.
Mobile Suit Z Gundam

A mysterious mobile suit infiltrates the space colony known as Gryps, headquarters of the dreaded Titans. Its pilot is Char Aznable, the infamous Red Comet, who now fights for the rebel AEUG group under the alias Quattro Bajeena. After confirming that the Titans are developing a new Gundam mobile suit, Char rejoins his teammates at the civilian colony Green Noa 1, where more of the new Gundams are being tested, and signals the AEUG flagship to begin its attack.

Zeta seemed to be the point when the creators figured the 'real robot' genre. The original Gundam felt like it still had some hold overs from the older 'super robot' shows the creators were trying to get away from, but didn't quite succeed. Add to that the studio was unsure if there was even an audience for something like Gundam and the original series feels a bit like a prototype of what the series, and genre, would become.

By the time they got to Zeta the creators knew what this genre was all about and the studios were confident enough to give them greater freedom. If the original Gundam is A New Hope, Zeta is Empire Strikes Back!

the first series was also not funded by Bandai. a company named Clover who made Dia-cast robot toys payed for the show , here is a picture of the toy they made of the gundam

the toys used the early concept art as a base

Bandai buying the rights after it was cancelled and had a cult following and because the kist they made sold well funded the Comp film trilogy where they cut the more suoer robo like weapons and mecha out the Gundam Hammer was cut and the G-fighter system was replaced with the Core Booster attachment for the Core Fighter in the 3 rd film there is a editing error when Sayla crash lands her Core booster on ABQ half way they jup back to TV stock animation and her G-sky easy makes a cameo.
Zeta uses unused plot points from the orignal gundam setting notes it also pushes the concept that both side have evil on them since the EFF is hijacked by a Anti terror taskforce with a mission to destroy zeon remenent forces. We get to see how they managed to get formed in the 0083 ova by colluding with a zeon marine who got shafted by her commander she did the grunt work for operation british hooking up the gas units to the colony being told it was "sleeping gas" back when she was using a Zaku I we another marine zaku I in 08th ms team with a gas missle gun when shiro has his flash back dream, Zeta was the darkest of the first UC era the EFF is at cival war and Axis has begun moving to the earth spear and its full of Zeon who wish to restore the Zabis with the one Char refused to kill and there led by his crazy Ex. it becomes a pattern women try to get with him hes still hot for his dead girlfriend also he came to laught a amaro for being a coward and staying on earth and avoiding the space swan in the kira kira.

Not sure. Feels like it's translated and not only that but far more organized in the links. Not many if at all comes into a forum with a series of links to click on.

That and 'click on my link' or blog in this case, is no different then bots leaving links in their comments on the various short videos, whether it's reels, Tik Tok. Just a easy way to generate money.

Now I could be wrong here.
