It's a movie, not an OVA. Theatrical release and all, running 108 minutes.

They are selling the movie on Blu Ray to people who got a ticket, like with Hathaway, though.


Also, Victory is making me think of how much Yazan helps the Titans function in the story. Since he's a legitimate threat, the Titans feel like a threat, even though Jerid is just stumbling through life like a jackass. Victory might have people who can beat the League, but they don't have the same Yazan and Rustal feeling of "Ah, right. This is why these people are dangerous."

It depends on if you count manga. If you don't count manga he just kind of gets humiliated at the beginning of ZZ but survives and fucks off forever. If you count manga he ends up being an escort/bodyguard to a cyber newtype girl, serves as the captain of a mobile suit squadron, and survives to retire.

The Titans are a threat because they're already all-but dominant in the Federation military and stand to take it over entirely, so their aces represent their status as a small elite group with a lot of power. Zanscare's all about big flashy plays - guillotining resisters en masse, crushing entire cities with rolling battleships, and with superweapons like the Kailash Guillie (or however it's spelled) and Angel Halo feeling like a much bigger part of their overall situation, all while the Federation is repeatedly shown to be totally ineffective when they can back. The Titans are dangerous because of what they're capable of as a bunch of highly capable people, Zanscare is dangerous as a force sweeping through the Earth Sphere. The AEUG and the League Militaire are both rebel groups, but they're dealing with very different flavours of opposition.

IIRC, there’s a character that looks very much like him at Dakar later in ZZ at some party, and some source books confirm it’s him.

Wouldn't make a difference. My TV show suggestions don't seem to count in this household. I sst through 61 episodes of the blueballing bullshit Chimera Ant arc but a two hour long film or a 12 episode OVA is too much based on a stupid podcast coloring his views.

As good as that finale was, it was not worth the drip feed build-up.

Meanwhile I can throw on an episode of any random Gundam show and have an 80% chance of seeing at least one person explode in a pink fireball.

It just sucks that I want to share something I'm interested in and have it get brushed off for a reason as stupid as a Cumtown podcast.
