Thoughts on Zeta
Feb. 14th, 2010 06:04 pmI'm now 15 episodes into Zeta, and I'm still not sure what I think.
I like the worldbuilding, and the science fiction-y feel of it. That's good. I like the central conflict.
On the other hand, I have no idea how this is going to keep from getting aimless. I also think there are too many characters. I can't seem to get to know most of them, and the ones I do get to know (*cough*Kamille) I don't really like all that much.
I felt like they wasted a good subplot about the tension between the Titans and the Federation forces by killing off Lila.
A lot of the time, I can't tell which suits belong to which side. The Gundam andChar'sQuattro's golden thing are nice and distinctive, but not so much the others.
I thought it was funny that the original White Base crew was in the opening, but that it took so long for anyone other than Bright to show up. Right now, I wonder what's going on with Amuro. I seem to be more attached to the holdover cast from the first series.
Now to something that bugged me, not from this series, but the side story miniseries: Spacenoid. Can anyone remember if they used that word in the original series? I don't think so. It's being used here, but the first time Kamille heard it, he didn't recognise the word.
In 0083, Kou points out that the spacenoids themselves want to be called that. It was going into fashion then. I can accept that Kamille just had his head in his ass for four years and completely missed the word. But why did they use it in MS IGLOO, which takes place at the same time as the original series?
HMMMMM.
