Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ

Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ (Japanese: 機動戦士ガンダムΖΖ, Hepburn: Kidō Senshi Gandamu Daburu Zēta; Mobile Suit Gundam Double Zeta) is the third installment in Sunrise's long running Gundam franchise and the last TV series in the franchise released in Japan's Shōwa period. A direct follow up to Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, it is directed and written by Yoshiyuki Tomino, and he assembled a new team consisting of character designer Hiroyuki Kitazume, who had been one of Zeta Gundam's animation directors, and mechanical designers Makoto Kobayashi, Yutaka Izubuchi and Mika Akitaka. Initially airing on Nagoya Broadcasting Network and affiliated ANN stations in Japan, the series was later aired by the anime satellite television network Animax across Japan and its respective networks worldwide, including Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, South Asia, and other regions. The now-defunct video streaming website Daisuki had the rights to stream the series worldwide. Sunrise themselves released the series on home video via Right Stuf Inc. to North America in 2015. On June 24, 2022, the series was made available for streaming on Crunchyroll.

Picking up directly after the events of Zeta Gundam, the story deals with the aftermath of the Gryps Conflict, with AEUG winning the war over the Federation-backed Titans at the expense of numerous casualties, including most of their personnel. This results in the revival of the Zeon forces, who once again declare war on the weakened Earth Federation. In response, the AEUG selects a scrap collector, Judau Ashta, to take over Kamille's position as the new pilot of the Zeta Gundam.
