5.0 out of 5 stars Fun for the fanatic, not so much for the casual fan.
Im giving this 5 stars for 2 reasons: i love gundam and i never thought we'd get a U.S release of ZZ gundam. I will be fair in this review, so if youre interestead, read on ahead.Impressions!My biggest gripe with the 1st part of ZZ Gundam is the writing. Some characters are intentionally written badly for comedic effect or to simply move the plot along. While at times the comedy does land, a lot of the jokes fall flat.Yeah, it is weird to talk about gundam being a comedy since most other series are more serious, but ZZ gundam has a weird development story. To put it simply the writer didnt take this project seriously... at least for the first half.Lets talk about the visuals!The menus have some nice pictures that are full screen but bare bone. Not even a bgm plays on them, which seems to be the norm with most of the rightstuff releases ive gotten.Video quality is great for such an old show. It is in the original 4:3 which means you get the black bars on the sides. I dont mind this since it means there's no cropping.As for playback; id really wish they would include a marathon mode, but they just have the standard "play all" and "episode select" options.Sound wave stuff!!This series was never aired in the U.S by some large network, so that means no official dub was ever recorded. That means its all in the original japanese, and if you dont know japanese, you will need to read subtitles. The voice acting is great though, so its not really distracting.I like a lot of the bgms that play through out the episodes, especially the battle theme. Fun stuff! The intro is a bit jaring with its initial yell of "this is no anime," but it has grown on me. The outro song is a jam from the very start.Audio quality over all is pretty good. Its nothing that will utilize surround sound, but it is mixed well and all audio queues are audible.Should you buy this!?!?!?!Well if youre a fanatic like me, yes! On the other hand if you like your gundam in english with a side of seriousness id recommend waiting on this until youve gotten all other gundam blu ray releases.
5.0 out of 5 stars A nice dose of Valium after Zeta Gundam
If you watched Zeta and enjoyed it but felt a little depressed by the end, then this sequel is a fun, wild pick-me-up that will do your more cynical side some good. I found the contrast between the militaristic AEUG crew and the carefree colonists of Shangri-La in the first arc of the series to be an excellent method through which to frame the wider scope of the Gundam universe. While all those epic space battles are going on, there are also those just trying to live their lives however they must given the circumstances of war surrounding them. That sounds a little too deep for this first part of the show, where the tone is very light and not as appealing for many Gundam fans that take themselves and the show way too seriously, but I found that it really helped to establish the new characters in an honest way that informs their actions as the series progresses - and as it inevitably does begin its slow, steady crawl into the darker corners of the harsh realities of conflict.The presentation is gorgeous and I had no issues breezing through these discs while remaining engaged in the story, so I ordered the second set not long after completing this one. While not essential for it, there were some pieces of the story that enhanced later viewings of Gundam Unicorn so I would recommend this if you enjoyed that show since it will give you some additional backstory for a couple of the key characters. If you're ready to have some fun with a UC Gundam series, check this one out.
5.0 out of 5 stars A slower start for an amazing series.
Other reviews cover the fact that the first half of ZZ is a completely different tone than Zeta. This is quite prevalent when you start watching immediately after finishing the previous series. As some others have said, it is a nice change of pace after the weight of Zeta's final arc. And while it does begin to drag on, at episodes 21-22 you'll see the tonal shift revert back to the darker, more serious tone that Gundam is known for. I found myself not having to force myself to watch. I would highly recommend it, even if you have to push through. The second makes it worth the effort.
4.0 out of 5 stars The tonal whiplash doesn't hurt too much!
ZZ Gundam is a personal favorite of mine. I feel the first half of the series being comedic was a good departure from Zeta's heavier tone and depressing ending. The quality is spectacular aside from the first episode since it's a clipshow. I only give it four stars because the price is unjustified since you only get half the series here.
5.0 out of 5 stars I (casual fan) bought it for my fiancé (Gundam fanatic) and we both enjoyed it
I had no problems with the product. It is only subbed in English, not dubbed not like the description says which I knew going in (I don't think it EVER got an English dub), but the description is misleading. This series is much more lighthearted than other UC series and doesn't really start to get serious until the part 2 disc set. It starts right where Zeta left off so you will want to watch that series before going into this one.
5.0 out of 5 stars Very fun series
Basically Zeta Gundam season 2. I enjoyed it a lot, it starts out very goofy and the first episode introduction was a bit jarring for what ended up a serious show towards the end, but if you suffer through the goofy Mashimar Cello and Chara Soon pursuit story line in the beginning, it gets better and better.
5.0 out of 5 stars Neo Zeon Rises!
For the first time in America, we get the classic ZZ Gundam series! A direct sequel to Zeta and showcasing the first Neo Zeon war! This first collection covers the first 22 episodes on 3 Blu-ray Discs (also available on DVD) and they look great. As expected, it is subbed only and only comes with clean opening and ending themes. Really a magnificent set to finally have! I'll be getting Collection 2 as soon as it's out!
5.0 out of 5 stars Great Series
Very excited to have this in North America more gundam greatness!!!!! Continues on after Zeta and follows characters from that arc!

Zガンダムのインポート版blu-rayは画質が酷かったですが、このZZは納得できる画質になってるので国内盤の値段に納得できない人にオススメです。再生はプレステ4で問題なく再生出来て字幕も消せました。
No enlish dub
No english dub and description says it has this...
初ZZ！
G、Zに続きZZも北米版で購入しました。Zが全体的に可愛そうで不幸な話だったので息抜きを入れる作品としていいと思います。まだ三話しか見てないですが、「こういうガンダムもいいもんだ」と切実に思います。いちいちコックピットのハッチが開いたまま戦うのにはゲラゲラ笑わさせてもらいましたよー。クィンマンサが大好きなので早く動いている所が見たいです！
