機動戦士ガンダムZZ ガンダムZZ
[b][i]Gundam ZZ[/i][/b] is the 1986 sequel to [i][[Zeta Gundam]][/i]. It was created by a mostly new creative staff, with series creator [[Tomino Yoshiyuki]] being the main returning member. The first half of [i]Gundam ZZ[/i] 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 [b]Universal Century 0088[/b], beginning almost immediately after the end of [i]Zeta Gundam[/i] (and the final battle of The Gryps War). It follows the story of [[Judau Ashta]], [[pilot]] of the [[AEUG]] [[ZZ Gundam|MSZ-010 ZZ (Double Zeta) Gundam]], during [b]The First [[Neo Zeon]] War[/b], 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 ([i]The [[Gundam Team]][/i]) 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 [[Char's Counterattack]].
