Marida is the superior Ple imo

If there was one thing you should have taken away from ZZ, it's that the impulse to find a "superior Ple" isn't good

Nah my takeaway from ZZ is that I think Ple and the Clones aren't as well developed as they could have been and I personally didn't really find them all that compelling. Ple 2 being mainly just "evil Ple" and part of Glemy's faction didn't really make much of an impact on me. Meanwhile Marida is one of my favourite characters in the entire franchise.

Elpeo Ple was my favorite character in ZZ. A child soldier who’s initially bratty and meets someone like her, Judau, and has friction with understanding what it means to be family, but eventually they grow to love each other as a brother and sister? Love it, great stuff.

You know who else kept going through Ples until he found one he liked?

They started with this to get to the Barzam. Teams of engineers spent millions of dollars iterating on this design until they got to the Barzam and were like, "perfect, print it"

Honestly, allowing for the major art style differences, that does make sense as a mid-point between the Mk.II and the Barzam.

I like how they cited 08th MS Team as an inspiration while making a product that seems to be the exact opposite of it.

Probably a rather different skillset is required to work with Unreal Engine as opposed to hathaway's style.

Maybe. But doing in-engine work with the new Unreal is probably cheaper and certainly requires different specialized talents than the standard anime production. Show might suck, but if it gets Sunrise a better grip on producing game visuals and it makes some money, then it's probably spent as well there as anywhere from a business standpoint.

I prefer when experimentation also results in a good show, but there's only so many talented people who have ideas they want to go forward with for giant robot anime, so spending money to better understand the tools Bandai probably will be using in the future makes some sense

Why can’t Sunrise go milk Gryps or first Neo Zeon war or something? How many OYW side stories can there be?

Watch this have another secret souped up Gundam variant as the final boss for the brave Zeek heroe in this IGLOO 3.. Can’t have a GM be threatening, despite GM Sniper II matching or exceeding RX-78 on paper.

At least it seems like it's after the OYW ("eleven months after the revolutionary war"), which might make this one more of the more interesting One Year War spinoffs.

Probably not, but a girl can dream

It occurred right away to me that this probably will not be dubbed with the original Canadian cast, which is a crying shame.

I've only heard snippets of the NYAV Post dub for the SEED Remaster. Is it any good?

The SEED Mecha look neat in 2023 animation but man of man I was never a fan of the character design for the show and it looks even weirder to me now. They're glass eyed mannequins.

hirai's character design is really hit or miss and modern coloring is really not kind to his style. his best work is probably on s-cry-ed.

I also rewatched CCA after finishing ZZ on Friday. ZZ does not add anything to a rewatch, but a rewatch helps because so much happens so fast in CCA, you miss some minor details (like Char being a pedophile.)
