8 episodes into ZZ and I'm kind of liking it. Is it more humorous than pretty much every Gundam series? Yes. But the battles at least are played straight with real consequences (read: death) I rather like Mashymre's second in command, Gotton.
Judau so far is pretty cool. He's definitely likeable, though I hestitate to say he's as good as Kamille and Amuro (though that's not exactly fair, since they were pretty strong protagonists)
