gundam zz
Gundam ZZ is the 1986 sequel to Zeta Gundam. It was created by a mostly new creative staff, with series creator Tomino Yoshiyuki being the main returning member. The first half of Gundam ZZ is infamous for being significantly more comedy-oriented than previous and subsequent Gundam series. However, the tone of the series changes and becomes more serious in the second half, concluding the story of Zeta.
ZZ is set in the year Universal Century 0088, beginning almost immediately after the end of Zeta Gundam (and the final battle of The Gryps War). It follows the story of Judau Ashta, pilot of the AEUG MSZ-010 ZZ (Double Zeta) Gundam, during The First Neo Zeon War, a conflict originated due to Haman Karn's declaration of war on the now weakened Earth Federation.
Gundam ZZ is notable because it is the first Gundam series where an underage group of pilots (The Gundam Team) operate more than two different types of Gundams. This trope would be used years later in other very popular Gundam series like Gundam Wing in the mid 90s and Gundam 00 the next decade.
The story of ZZ continues in Gundam The Revival Of Zeon and Char's Counterattack.
