I'm just now in the process of watching Zeta for a second time (the
first time was a Chinese sub years ago).  I am now watching the dub,
because honestly it's not bad and Sylvia is more likely to peek if
it's Englsih.

Regarding Z3 movie... SPOILER ALERT!

I mean it this time, SPOILERS FOLLOW!

Ok... the most obvious part is happy or at least non-tragic endings
for several characters.  Regarding the big battles and killing fest
just prior to the ending... The synopsis doesn't really sounds like
the story-telling has improved from the TV series.

What's really telling is that I can't make much sense of who's who in
the Z3 synopsis and I remain somewhat indifferent about that.  A bunch
of charaters show up, half of them have a grudge against someone else
and half of them have some secret agenda and/or secret backstory. 
They all try to kill someone and destroy some things that doesn't seem
to advance their interest or agenda.

I have absolutely no interest to watch it for its
continuity/discontinuity to ZZ and CCA.   I care that Tomino may have
changed the storyline for the better.  And it sounds like he made no
effort to connect it to ZZ/CCA in logical way, that's just fine by me.

But cutting the Dakar story arc is a disappointment to me.  The Dakar
arc has lots of potential.  I wish Tomino had taken time to make it
better and more central to the whole story of Zeta and shorten and
clean up the battles at the end. But then obviously Tomino is more
interested to do personal choice/vendetta instead of big
astropolitical plots.

> Tomino redo Quess in CCA (partly) in Gundam Evolve.

I rather liked the Evolve short on Quess, helps me forget that CCA
existed in the first place.  Oh... can we really credit Tomino for
GE's?  I know his name is in the credits, but do we really know he
exerted artistic influence?
