4.0 out of 5 stars
Good series, poor dub, January 3, 2007
This review is from: Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam: Chapter 4 (DVD)
The episodes in this chapter are great. Included are the negotiations (or lack thereof) between the AEUG and Axis, the attack of Kilamanjaro, some Psycho Gundam action and the firing of the colony laser. The bad news is that the English language dub is sub-par. In a few instances, either the translation was sloppy or it was just badly written originally, but either way a few conversations sound completely unrealistic. Minor things like not using conjunctions in the heat of battle, but still. Also, there is the lack of swearing. It's a war. There should be some profanity. This makes it feel kiddy. I mean holy crap, even the word "kill" is deemed inappropriate, and replaced with "take his life" or some other euphemism. Lame.
So if you don't mind reading your TV shows, this gets a five. As it is, I give it a four.

Zeta Gundam finale', February 25, 2006
This review is from: Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam: Chapter 4 (DVD)
I loved the Gundam franchise since I first saw Gundam Wing on Cartoon Network in 1997 or around that time.
I just recently (2 years ago...collected every other gundam title to date... 0079,0080,0083,and now... Zeta Gundam (0087).
I think that a great series deserves a great finale'.
in Chapter 5 collection...everything comes to a close. I hope to see Double Zeta Gundam come here to the states someday...
I can't wait to finish my anime collection...
