'''''Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ''''' (''Kidou Senshi Gundam Double Zeta''), is the third series in the highly successful [[Gundam]] anime franchise. A direct sequel to the vastly popular ''[[Zeta Gundam]]'', ''Gundam ZZ'' marks a major departure from the tone of its predessor, despite being (unusually for a [[Gundam]] series) a direct sequel. Picking up days after the conclusion of ''[[Zeta Gundam]]'', ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ|Gundam ZZ]]'''s first half is rather light-hearted and generally upbeat, especially after Zeta's [[Darker and Edgier]] story. According to reliable reports, it was an attempt to restore Gundam's reputation as a children's series and family entertainment, and its director [[Yoshiyuki Tomino]] is said to have made it as a reaction against the incredibly bleak ending of ''[[Zeta Gundam]]''. Unfortunately, this resulted in [[Mood Whiplash]], and the entire series is generally frowned upon by the [[True Art Is Angsty|more serious fans]] who enjoyed ''Zeta'' and [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks|were expecting more of the same]].
Remember, people, that [[Mood Whiplash|this is]] what usually happens if you let Tomino do two shows back-to-back.

''Gundam ZZ'' was also one of the mainstay titles of the UC Gundams when it comes to ''[[Super Robot Wars]]'' though it's starting to fall behind, as it hasn't been in a game since ''[[Super Robot Wars Alpha|Alpha 3]]''. During the announcement of ''[[Super Robot Wars Z]] 2'', Terada let it slip that Bandai and Sunrise have something big in mind for ZZ, but what exactly this is is not known.

* [[Ace Pilot]]: Somewhat less common than in most Gundam shows (few of the AEUG's aces survived to appear in ''ZZ'', while Neo-Zeon never had many aces in the first place), but by the end of the series a new crop of them has risen up so that they can [[Killed Off for Real|wipe each other out]] in the final battle again. Also amusingly played with somewhat with Judau and his buddies. While they grow to be aces in the end, the first time any of them pilot a mobile suit, they can do little but flail around.
* [[Almost Kiss]]: Between Judau and Haman in Episode 22, or at least it looked that way. Haman was, probably, going for it before they were interupted.
