Nokizaru said: i consider this series really great.....i mean i presume the storyline is also for itself...just i didn't quite understood some things like newtypes ( what type of humans exactly r they ) I also noticed it will have 6 eps :/ ... i noticed they r pretty long but still.....anyway i luved it and i hope for the best ........ p.s btw any1 knows when next ep is coming out ? :O It's not a standalone OVA and to get some things you must know stuff from previous Gundams such as Newtypes, Zeon remnants |
| lol i guess i need to watch the back story to fully get whats going on >.< I enjoyed it anyway Sent with Mal Updater |

| Here, I have tried watching this finally. Oh god, it was even more terrible than i expected. Its like on what would happen if Twilight ___th movie was a teen-soap-opera remake of Interview With Vampire. Action and stuff going pew pew would have been nice if not for mediocre plot and constant "this is uc, watch eeet" stuff blown into my face. If anything,a fter OVA1, my opinion stands - Unicorn is mediocre fanfic trying to cash in onto the whole UC fanbase. UC ended with TurnA Gundam. Until tomino himself decides to do something in UC, UC will stay dead. 1/5 |

Kennesty said: Turn A didn't take place during UC, it takes place during Correct Century. The founding of UC is really important in Unicorn and the plot will most likely thicken and get better in later episodes. Tomino will never work on Gundam again so its too bad for you, go back to watching Gundam 00. TurnA takes place after and before all centuries :) And if you expect plot from a fanfic novel that focuses on stuff going pew pew, sorry to disappoint you. |

| So after all these years we finally get something from the time-line between Gundam ZZ and Victory Gundam other than the botched F91 series which became a film, and it's definitely awesome. They've finally given the Gundam neutral colours (OK it glows red but at least that isn't the paint job) like it was meant to from the start. I'm sure that Miss 'Audrey Burne' is in fact Minerva Zabi too. |
 |
| "Get the Hell out of my way!" pure awesome-ness |

| As a UC fan that's just finished watching chars counterattack (and for various reasons, feeling a little dissapointed with it) Wishful thinking but I'd love to see an appearance from (the real) char and amuro ray in gundam unicorn. Yes I know they were officially dead in the novel CC was based on, but the film does have an ambiguous ending as far as their fates are concerned. But I'll guess I'll probably have to make do with chars clone and amuros haro. |
| Not as epic as I was hoping, but it's still only the first episode, and one that lacks any sort of fault at that. Now to wait for another two years for it all to finish. /o/ Edit: Ryou Hirohashi voices this Haro? Insta-win. 5/5 |

| Nice! Very nice! I like Banagher already!! Edit: I just watched this a second time and I SO want my own personal Gundam Unicorn now. |

| I thought Banagher was annoying. He just met a girl and he suddenly now wants her to need him. I did enjoy the episode though. |

| The mecha fights were outstanding.I fell in love with the bigzam funnel spammer look alike added that the pilot is hot as F***!In the end i watched this without any knowledge of the uc timeline and overall it kinda felt shallow storywise but its pretty obvious that I'll have to watch the previous installments.Such a pain in the a** >_< |
| The last 10 minutes were so epic just like the gundam :P |
| I'm getting senile :) because of the time gap between episode releases I had to watch this again to refresh my memory before watching episode 2, I think I'll rewatch episodes 1 & 2 again before seeing episode 3 in the future too! LOL Loved the mobile suit transformation scene especially when the one horn split into two to reveal it's a Gundam! |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| This was amazing. I think that it will end up surpassing Zeta and Char's Counterattack (tied) as my favorite Gundam. I like Banagher quite a lot and I REALLY like that they brought the Zabi princess back for this one. Seeing characters reappear grown up after several years is one of the best things about the Gundam franchise. And this goes without saying but WOW was it visually stunning and full of intensity. Much like with Char's Counterattack, I was absolutely glued to the screen the entire time. |
| One word.... EPIC!! The whole time I was watching this, first thing in my mind "This is one of greatest Gundam OVA's I have seen so far..." The Visuals are so vivid, highly detailed, immense atmosphere and character designs seem really retro in design but still great in this present time. The sound effects were also amazing. Bringing back the Gundam UC in a big amazing OVA as if they wanted to rebuild the universal century to us again. I enjoyed the intense action, fight scenes and etc. But one problem I always have the same cliche Gundam does with it starting with a teen boy with unknown new type abilities and obtaining the power of the Gundam during a terrorist attack. : / Overall it was great! 5/5 |
| The plotline was confusing to me at a few points, but my experience with Gundam is limited to Wing and SEED, which I'm sure most fanboys consider the worst of the lot (and which I'm aware take place in completely separate universes than the UC one). The visuals, though, were absolutely amazing, especially the mecha fights. I acquired a Blu-Ray rip which was positively stunning in its quality, and to my surprise the English dub was actually rather well-done as well, especially for a production that must've been rushed. I might go back and watch some of the older Gundam stuff, but I know in general what's going on in the worldline (and they did let us know the primary backstory in this ep anyway). Some of these characters I'm clearly supposed to recognize, but so far it hasn't really taken away from the enjoyment. Moving onto the next episode, time to see the Unicorn kick some ass! |
| This anime has great production values, but that's normal considering it's Sunrise's very own cash cow. I got to say though that it's massively overrated. Good animation and music can only take the show so far, and I ain't sure where the plot will go BUT... Banagher is the most uninspired protagonist so far. There's nothing interesting with this individual. The rest isn't much either who are just mostly copy pastas from previous UC Gundams. The best Gundam ova is still Gundam 0080 so far. |
| I had an eyegasm, the cliff-hanger was just cruel though. The design for the NZ-666 was just great. http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/NZ-666_Kshatriya |
| Holy shit, this has to be one of the most epic mecha episodes I've ever seen. The last 10 minutes were just, wow. And the soundtrack. I'd be surprised if the later episodes could even match this standard of quality. |

| It's decent. I hope the serie will be better than the god awful Gundam Zeta (I don't see what people like about it... worse, calling in it the best gundam lol) |
| I thought it was pretty boring and majorly overrated. |
| It has the old school feel to it. I'll take it! |
| My Guitar Covers: Playlist I CAN ALWAYS SHOW MY EVERYTHING TO YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUU |
| Damn that art style and animation is really good. |
Please learn about cel animation and its technical process. Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers. |

| THAT PRODUCTION -- MY EYES ARE BLEEDING. This went from "Wow, this is considered very good for 1970 or 1980 animation" to MY EYES ARE BLEEDING. I loved every bit of the soundtrack, too. It looks like the story won't disappoint, either. I can't wait for the rest! "Audrey Burn", lol. |
 |
| That was awesome. The plot seems a little confusing to me since I have only watched 00 and just started Zeta. But this is very interesting and the overall quality seems amazing. |

| Eyegasmic art style and Links seems like a solid MC! |
| I watched this right after watching msg->z->zz->cca (+ 08th ms team) for the first time. So. Awesome. Animation, music, everything basically. My vision was, like parfaited's above, already adjusting to the 80s animation. And then I watched the 1st ep (and 2nd + 3rd right afterwards) and actually got a bit teary-eyed simply because of how awesome this was. Rest of the time my ears & eyes were just trying to adjust to the awesomeness of this without exploding/bleeding/etc too much. |
| HOLY SHIT I THINK I JUST CRAPPED A FUNNEL ABNOUYAIVFAWU/F VAEO( YFGVAWFGAWR AWRAR135yh3 297805t08 I don't even know what to say, this felt like watching Evangelion 3.0 for the first time. So I was basically watching 57 minutes of porn. This felt so rewarding and epic after skimming through the older Gundams. I already like the hero and heroine, Audrey is kawai. So looking forward to more. UNICORN WAS BADASS Oh and of course animation and music were godly |

| That was the most impressive first episode iv ever seen, yeah its got a unfair advantage of being an hour long but fuck it this entire hour was phenomenal |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| 5/5 I can finally get their hands on Unicorn OVA ! * w * Premise , I should read first before you see it and I should have a new smattering of Gudam universe , because when I saw the series , then a century has passed since then . I remember little or nothing. Not a bad start to the story , he was immediately catapulted into the live , do not miss the action , even there also too much , it is almost stunned by the power and by the sound of frantic battles and actions seen in them. Mecha really beautiful and well made , I do not know about the use of the CG if there is. The narrative at certain points I can not afferarla well, maybe because I lack the basic foundation for understanding how to do Banagher Links. Animations and sound really nice , I thought that the length of time of an hour would be long to digest, instead seems to have passed in a flash. For now , my vote is on the work of 8/10 ! I can not wait to savor the next OVA ... Hooray ! |

| Sweet mother of baby Jesus...That was pure mecha porn at it\s finest. The animation, designs, music were all sugoii. I also dig the old school haircuts. Only thing that made me facepalm is that there's a character called Full Frontal! I mean, really? |

| Shit I heard this was good but I didn't think it'd be this good. |
| That fucking scene at the end with the Gundam was awesome, That was a good start although some parts were a bit too slow for my liking. |
| very nice l like the references to the previous series |
| huh |
| Great first episode, I think I'm going to like this series. The MC really reminds of Amuro, but thankfully a thousand times less annoying. |
| Finally after finishing almost all of UC Anime Era works(besides Turn A Gundam) i finally started this :D Man the OST is just pure bliss!!! So fucking good. It sounds like a grand battle is about to happen. I was confused about the Anno Domini being reference in the first few minutes. I thought Gundam 00's era is separate compared to UC era?? Man the fights are really intense and very realistic. Even though i love Gundam 00 and is one of the best animated Gundams due to its fast paced battles. I also like the more realistic style Unicorn is showing. I thought RX-0 is going trans-am mode all of a sudden XD Animation is godly as ever! Even better than Gundam 00 i think! Link Banagher is cool. At least he isn't some whiny protagonist like we've been getting from other UC era works(looks at Amuro). Maria Cruz looks amazing!! She's piloting Qubeley like Gundam. And wow so Link's father died in front of him without him having a reunion of somesort. Kinda anti-climatic and out of nowhere that Link finds his old home and his father in it. I expect lots of explosions, killing and deaths in the coming movies episodes ^^ Can't wait for the next episode!! |

| OH WOW! I don't even know what to say, that was so good and so well made. The high budget is put to a very good use. I'm on the fence about Banagher, but he works well as an MC, so that's good. I feel really bad for/about his father, but at least they could talk to each other one last time. Good plot, good mood, great animation, I have high expectations for the next episodes. Edit: Just noticed something: "Aired: Mar 12, 2010 to Jun 6, 2014" OMG that must have been awful to wait so long after such an amazing episode. |
