Are Zeta and ZZ available on any streaming serices?

I have seen (part of) Zeta Gundam somewhere. I thought it was on Crunchyroll, but it doesn't seem to be there at the moment.

[Tymers Realm]

You can always try gundam.info . That's Bandai's official Gundam site. You can also try their official YouTube channel. It has been rotating, usually sub-titled, the various series. I believe both Zeta and ZZ have been in the most recent rotations.

Edit: I was on my phone when I fist posted. Added a link to the youtube channel. As of this posting, only Build Divers (multi-Sub), Build Fighters, BF Try, BF GM's Counterattack/Battlogue, IBO (Both seasons), OO (Sub), Wing (HD Remaster, Sub) and Endless Waltz (OVA Dub & Sub), Unicorn, Origin V, and 1st Film comp of Thunderbolt are up for viewing.
I know SEED (Remaster), SEED Destiny (Remaster), Zeta, and ZZ have also been available to view. Usually there is a change every couple of months of something rotated in/out.

So a show called Aggretsuo just popped up on Netflix.  It's about a red panda who expresses her rage about her lousy office job, horrible boss, and all around unhappy life by singing death metal karaoke.  It's hilarious, though surprisingly on the nose about certain aspects of Japanese corporate society that they generally don't like to talk about openly.

Quite a lot dubbed too. Currently Unicorn, Build Fighters and Build Fighters Try.

Gave MS IgLoo a chance, but boy did that dated CGI turn me off it :(

Will give it a skip.

Ohmygawdit'skyoot! I wanna get it on DVD now! Gotta ask my anime friend from Thailand if she can get it.....

I just saw Full Metal Panic! Invisible Victory episode 1 - Happy go lucky days are over, crap just hit fan for the crew. I won't spoil anything but this looks like slow burn of building story.

Just watched the first two chapters.  Damn, this is sure no Fumofu!   I'm loving it so far but I foresee tears before it's all over.   :'(

Well, right now, I decided to go with something I haven't seen anything about for the moment:

Project AICO.

It's not bad. But, I'm a forgiving viewer. It's not strictly fun, like Tiger and Bunny or Glitter Force, but it's not necessarily a hard tear-jerker, either.

Manga or light novel?

I'm assuming he meant episodes of the new series.

[HobbesHurlbut]

I'm assuming he meant episodes of the new series.

which can be confusing because an anime Episode can have content of several manga/light novel chapters in it.

I agree with the 'not bad' assessment. AICO Incarnation was a decent, if forgettable show, really.
I liked the whole biological horror created by an experiment gone awry angle and AICO Incarnation does try to ask some interesting questions about transhumanism and bioethics, but it really never goes anywhere with them and while it has a likable cast but they never really grow beyond industry stock tropes.

It's like a student coasting into a safe 'pass' score rather than applying themselves.

I was looking up this show.  Turns out, it's from Sanrio.  Yeah, the same maker of Hello Kitty.  Apparently, there's two different versions: the original is a series of 100 one minute shorts, while the Netflix version is 15 minutes per episode and has more plot and explanation for events.

As I was replying to Wranglers post about watching the first episode of Full Metal Panic: Invisible Victory, and this is an anime (not a Manga or light novel) thread, I thought it was obvious I was watching the new anime.  ;)

I guess saying I watched the first two "chapters" instead of "episodes" may have been confusing, though.  :-[

[VhenRa]

And yeah, Invisible Victory is pretty good so far.

The most interesting part IMHO mind you... is the OP. Those familiar with events further into manga/novels... are probably going to recognize a few parts of that opening sequence.

Sanrio does kitsa stuff that isnt obviously Sanrio at first glance. My favorite is probably Show by Rock. But then, I'm a sucker for both catgirls and bunnygirls.

Just saw The Cat Returns (subbed version) at the local movie theater as part of their 2018 Ghibli Festival. That was a lot of fun.

Is Soul Eater any good?

[MadCapellan]

Pretty decent for a shonen anime and short enough to be easily digestible.

[Daemion]

Is it kinda fun and goofy in places, like, say, Bleach?

I enjoyed it more than Bleach. Your results may vary.

Goofier than Bleach, though ti still goes to some pretty dark places.  Doesn't have anywhere near the filler or extraneous character load.

Just saw the first 15 minutes of MSG The Origin episode IV. EPIC BATTLE AHEAD!!!

Excellent. Thanks. That's my next one.

That explains why everyone likes it so much, and why it has so many different chapters/settingsflavors!

I'm watching Food Wars on Hulu and I find it entertaining and educational, even if the food battles are a little drawn out. Half way through the 2nd season right now.

[Weirdo]

My wife and I absolutely love Food Wars, though we do make a point to only watch it *after* lunch... :)

We have ended up at a restaurant after watching that show more times than I can count!  ;D

[Weirdo]

I don't know of any restaurant that could deliver on the promises that show makes... :)

Trust me, they don't, but usually we're just really hungry for whatever it was that they were cooking that we'll accept anything close!
