Is this why the writing was so bad in Zeta?

Yeah probably.

Tomino is known to ghostwrite and let staff take the credit (he even uses pseudonym sometimes), he also drew the whole outline for the whole show.

Half of Zeta is this

Why the hell are there so many female combatants outside of forced drama? They brought it up and never mentioned it again unless I missed something.

This 1 ep is a classic though. One of the best 0079 episodes.



Where is it indicated he ghost-wrote an episode and let someone else take the credit, because to my knowledge he uses a known psuedonym like Minoru Onoya every time he does any script work beyond editing. All those pseudonyms are known though, and the only other work he does is editing scripts to fall more into his style in terms of speech or fit his vision; which is a far cry from writing the entire thing. He has done some uncredited work like mechanical design and writing songs, but the person in the credits still did most of the work for the show as a whole or any individual episodes credited to them, in those cases. Tomino also did not draw the entire outline for Zeta, and Zeta is one of the few shows where he didn't do much storyboarding and has noted that he wanted to trying controlling the show via script when he normally does it from storyboards. He was heavily involved in the storyboarding for 0079, ZZ, Victory etc, but not Zeta. He was only involved in the storyboarding for 7 episodes of Zeta.
