Bandai finally gave UC Gundam fans what they'd been waiting for: the delicious orgy of death called Zeta Gundam. Unfortunately, the legitimate packaging is a disappointment to hardcore fans and casual (if there is such a thing) fans alike. First of all, Bandai removed both the original opening theme songs... Strike one... The translation is lamentable for having taken as long as it did (learn a little bit of Japanese and it will help fill in what the translators left out or changed) Strike two... Get some cultural consistency checkers; "Pallas Athene" is the full name of the Greek goddess, yet they change the suit's name to the "Palace Athena" for some reason or another. Other things that are annoying caused by the lack of internal consistency within the gundam universes naming translators. Traditional spellings of character and ship names that have lasted over 15 years have been changed. The Agama is the Argama, Jamitov Hymen is Jamitov Hymem, Camille Vidan becomes Kamille Bidan, and just other irritating "Engrish" errors in the translation, but we'll leave this as a foul ball. Devoid of any special features (unless you consider the pencil sharpeners special features). Strike three. Don't get me wrong, Zeta Gundam is the greatest sci-fi anime of all time, however the packaging did everything it could to sabotage it.
