many of the classic tropes
Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam has many of the classic tropes expected in Gundam shows today, building up into what the series would fully become in the future. While the characters can be a bit polarizing, Zeta's core narrative is fantastic, morally ambiguous, and addictive. Char is not only among the franchise's best characters but also one of the most memorable antagonists of the 1980s.
