I loved the original zeek Igloo specifically because every episode is a massive pile of tragic what-if bait
>what if the Jormungandr actually received proper screening and forward observer targeting information to fuck up the feddies bad as designed instead of being blindered & left completely out of the battleplans because hahah shiny mobil soot?
>what if the Hildolfr had a couple basic bitch Zaku dismounts sent down for parallel drop tests plus combined arms maneuver testing instead of having to carry a solo engagement against multiple mobile suits?
>what if the Zudah had a functional engine limiter right up to the runaway overload redline when they clearly had this sorted by the Dom especially when it purportedly used the same engine as the Rick Dom instead of still being built to kill pilots for no good reason?
>what if the Ze'gok was flown with a proper two man crew every sortie and actual fighter escort ready on egress instead of wasting a possible latent Newtype pilot with good instincts but poor gunnery skills by letting him job it in an unfamiliar mobile armor before eating shit to Core Fighters?
>what if Erwin's cadet group launched in strength with MS support and thrashed the Ball group completely along with their mothership instead of getting penny packeted out to die against 2:1 odds and sending Monique into PTSD catatonia because von Kuspen wanted to save resources by indecisively losing resources?
>what if the now overstrength 603rd manages to not just hold the E field at A Baoa Qu but retreat intact and in good order instead of even more Oggo cadets and von Kuspen eating shit in a forlorn hope defense?
there's a part of me that wishes there had been more & longer series and something more than a vignette based one crew death per episode plot, but its shortness is probably the ultimate source of its sweetness. Are the manga retellings any good? I haven't got around to reading them.
