My biggest concern is that they repeat the major sin of Geats where almost none of the main characters actually changed. Sure, the show gave them arcs to pretend they actually developed and grew as people, but deep down, they really didn't. You can perfectly see that on the summer movie where everyone's attitude is pretty much the same as the winter movie, which aired back in Q1. Ace is still a cocky cool guy, Keiwa is a kindhearted bafoon, Neon is the showoff girl, and Michinaga is a rude asshole. They had all these confrontations and tragedies happening to them only to come the other side exactly the same.
This is especially baffling when, as big of a hack as Takahashi is, he did actually make permanent changes to characters in his previous shows. Hiro's arc in Ex-Aid suck but he genuinely changed as a person after it was over, and his relationship with Kiriya was never the same. Fuga went from robot racist to a true hero. Meanwhile, the Geats gang just sticks to the same old beats for an entire year regardless of what happens to them.
So whatever the fuck happens with Zeztz I hope they have an actual plan for the characters and they do grow as the show goes along. If he just stays as Cool Guy McGun the whole show, then that's lame and boring.
