Yoshiuyuki Tomino is the famous director of Mobile Suit Gundam, and at least in the West, somewhat controversial. His less bombastic directorial style rubs a lot of modern viewers the wrong way, and he certainly has his share of detractors. But while Tomino may not be the greatest stylistic director, he can be an excellent conceptual one.
In episode 6 of Zeta Gundam, main character Kamille has just lost his parents. He heads out to talk with Lt. Reccoa before her mission, possibly to brag a little about the mobile suit design he came up with in the disk he's carrying. He sees her there, but notices Lt. Quattro with her, talking about her mission. Like an embarrassed child caught red-handed, he immediately turns around, letting his disk drift towards Reccoa and Quattro.
This in itself is pretty normal behavior, a kid might wait shyly and awkwardly by the sidelines, only for the adults to notice him. Instead, Kamille hightails it out of there, goes up an elevator, and knocks on the door of Emma Sheen, the woman still under slight suspicion of being a Titans spy. Kamille is evasive as to why he's there, leading Emma to tell him to not expect any particular sympathy from him, that they're not lovers or anything.
Visibly angered, Kamille concocts a cover story of asking Emma why she joined the Titans in the first place. Before she can answer, Reccoa arrives, Kamille's disk in hand, prompting Kamille to run away again.
This scene then continues as focus reorients around Reccoa and Emma, hinting a little at what's bothering Kamille, and then moving to exposition on why the Titans are such nasty villains.
What's brilliant in this is how Tomino shows Kamille's own headspace, with nary a word from him on how he's feeling. He seeks temporary motherly comfort in one woman, is "rejected", and then seeks it from another. His actions are quite typical and understandable, but his excessive flight reactions, speak to an overdeveloped sense of pride, and a slight neuroticism. And better yet, all of this is portrayed with barely a word of dialogue commenting on the matter, and certainly no expo dump afterwards explaining what Kamille just did. Modern anime simply does not do this, and certainly very few pieces of media anywhere do it either. Tomino does this repeatedly throughout Zeta Gundam, asking the audience to interpret a character for themselves, with no character stepping in to be "the voice of the author" and explain what happened. This can make his shows confusing, or rather make it seem like nothing's really happening. But it displays a desire and ability for organic storytelling that few can rival.
