    All anyone needs to to know is his Baki finally defeated his dad because Yujiro pantomimed making dinner poorly

    I'm in the final arc of Gundam ZZ, and mostly just wanting it to be over. I'm in for the whole ride at this point, but it's been largely disappointing. Not enough Roux, too many uninteresting antagonists, too many side stories.

    Second-to-last episode: that's more like it.
    Glemy getting merc'd by Roux was glorious.

    I finally started Witch from Mercury today. Watched the prologue and the first episode. Enjoying it so far, though I have some question re: how the prologue is connected. I assume all will be made clear in the future but among them a more general question that's maybe just my unfamiliarity with Gundam as a whole
    They seemed to be against whole "permet" thing because it was hurting people, and the guy was like "this is the end of gundam haha" and yet in ep 1 we see the jerk duelist tootling around in his mobile suit, and doing permets.
    Is a gundam a specific type of robutt? Are some permets just worse?
    Also I really dug the orchestral songs at the end of the prologue and the beginning of ep 1.

    The permet stuff is new to this series and not really a facet of Gundam as a whole, what exactly a gundam or a 'witch' is is specific to this series.

    throwing this behind spoilers just cause, but it's just info on the setting
    gundams are indeed distinct from regular mobile suits, in this series it's because they use the 'GUND format' neural link that lets people pilot them good, at their own risk

    permet is a new element? mineral? unobtainium discovered in space that allows for instantaneous data transfer and facilitates the GUND format when implanted in the body

    After tonight's Ga-Rei Zero finale, I started reading the manga. So far, it's mostly all right. They give the pervert character the beatings he richly deserves! But, alas, not prison time. Heisei era, I suppose.

    Here's a reference I wasn't expecting.

    it's been a minute but i remember the manga not really improving over time, pretty sure the male lead remains terrible

    it does manage the weirdly recursive act of eventually going "shit, people really liked the anime huh" and strip-mining its own spinoff for parts, so that's... interesting, i guess

    The manga's not awful, but it's nothing too special either. And if there was a theoretical Ga-rei adaptation, you'd make to like... episode 2 before...
    It's revealed that Yomi's still kicking around. IIRC, there's four arcs in the manga, and three of them are
    Kagura vs Yomi. Yomi just keeps coming back to life over and over again, doing the "who's going to sacrifice themself for who" each time. Kind of undercuts the "Will you kill the one you love" when death is as much a revolving door as in Supernatural or Dragonball.

    If you like Zero though, I'd suggest looking at Tokyo Majin by the same studio (but different key staff). Very similar setting. Better animated fights, more episodic stories (well, two episode 'arcs' mainly), but weaker overall plot and characters. It is very loosely based on a game that's basically Shin Megami Tensei lite that was never localized.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1cOAM0RiEg

    You can now also watch Tokyo ESP (same manga author) just to play "spot the Ga-Rei cameos in the background." The episode 1 team gets their own fight in it too.

    Or not watch Tokyo ESP because it's a very mediocre blatant X-Men knockoff.

    Also, more shows need to use Yousei Teikoku songs for fights. Almost any one of them would work great as boss music.

    Gundams in this series are a distinct type of (illegal) mobile suit that uses the GUND format.

    Permet is a type of ore found on the moon and Mercury. It's good for communication, so it's used extensively in mobile suits - but there's big difference between how standard suits use it, and how GUND format stuff usees it.

    It's not a coincidence that every Gundam you've seen so far had some sort of drone tech.

    Overall this series is one of the better ones for having justifications on why Gundams are well, Gundams rather than some other type of suit.

    The Gai-Rei manga is, like, okay. The first major arc gives closure to a lot of the events of the anime in a way that I appreciated when I read it at the time (I read it right after the anime finished originally airing), and the next arc was... Fine? But iirc I ran out of manga to read and never went back to it.

    Gundam: Witch From Mercury ep. 18:
    AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!

    Okay. I did NOT think Suletta was going to get kicked down another rung of the betrayal ladder. Somehow Prospera is the (mildly) empathetic one?

    And somehow in the middle of this we have time for school shenanigans. There's a Haro confession booth? And a Smug Girl jumpscare.

    I don't know if I'm a fan of Elan just laying it all out for everyone. Feels a little clumsy.

    But that last shot of Suletta killed me.
