I actually felt rather sorry for Daghda, since he told us how cogs really should feel as opposed to how the higher ups wanted them to feel. I also thought the NT-D making it seem like you were in control, but in actually, it's in control thing was pretty cool. This episode hinted towards Laplace's box sole worth being extreme political importance; a stark contrast to its key, which is (seemingly) just a very strong mobile suit.

Other than that, fights were great, music was well implemented, can't wait for more, etc. etc.

Technically ep 2 wasn't a Nov release, it was Oct 31 LOL

Anyway, during the ED...EARTH???

And some wild mass guessing:


EDIT: LOL after checking gundam.wikia.com I know answered my own questions.

Apart from some re-used animation during the Kshatriya vs Unicorn fight, which didn't really bother me that much, this episode was simply amazing. I can't wait to watch the BD with japanese audio...

Another epic episode from Gundam UC...


Anyway, there were so many overlapping themes and deja vu moments from Mobile Suit Gundam Zeta and Char's Counterattack. The fact that I've watched the old school Gundam helped me tremendously to understand the story revolving around the politics and the Newtypes.

Another impressive episode it was really nice to watch and i do which episodes could come out faster at times but as long as it are episodes like this i can't complain.
It was a really action packed episode and i feel like last episode had more story development and it added up nicely with this episode.
Hopefully next episode will be just as good.

I agree with you stricly on a script and developments basis, but I'm still in awe at the animation, direction and music. It was incredible once again, even if a bit less dynamic and interesting than the first two OVAs. The last 15 minutes were really great though.

I like it when main characters goes berserk and no one can stop him.

The story was still intact - less details but more it gave more curiosity to the watchers.

After watching this - the background feels better than before - Maybe its the ripper or the fps but it felt like the background was more alive and real than usual.

can't wait for the 4th one!!

I thought I stumbled upon troll subs when I read "Hyper Mega Particle Cannon," but then I listened a little more closely and they were actually serious. Gotta deduct points for that; sorry, Unicorn. That aside, it was a pretty nice action packed episode. The use of the music at the ending instead of some actual voice acting didn't really appeal to me though. I ;; at Marida's past and Daghda's death.

Another epic episode, can't wait for the next one. Unicorn is just plain badass, when it transforms and the NT-D activates, all hell breaks loose. The story of this ova is pure epicness, from start to finish, even the dialogue is rich and sharp. It has amazing animated action scenes an the music is top notch. All in one package, so far the first 3 episodes have been a 10, no disappointments so far, and I have the feeling that I will see none in the future.

Another astonishing episode from ''Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn''. As always, very pleased with the animation which it top notch! Audio was out of this world! And the story -got a little confusing- but managed to be awesome! God, I hate this waiting time! I just hope the next episode is a good as the rest! Loved the ED theme, by the way! Looking forward to the next!

and the bad subs didnt help either. ill stick to bss from now on, bad subs for a show like this turns it from a rating of 10 to a measly 6. and the gap between each release does not help either.

If you've watched the first Gundam (don't need to watch that necessarily, if you begin at Zeta Gundam it's good too) and then follow the UC timeline in watching the gundam series and you stop at Char's Counterattack, you'll be able to understand the Gundam Unicorn series much more. You'll also be able to appreciate this series much more and you'll simply won't be able to stop drooling every episode you see.
The whole Hyper Mega Particle Beam Cannon comes from Zeta Gundam. The name is totally cliché, but the creators didn't change the name of the particle beam cannon so that's thumps-up in my case.
I also loved the Gundam ZZ (pe-twelve who looked exactly like Elpe Puru) reference. I simply love Mineva Zabi, because she has grown into such a responsible strong leader. I think Char is proud of her. I hope he is. She has a mind of her own and isn't a puppet of Zeon.
The voice of Char is exactly the same, but I don't know if he is the real deal. The things he says are things Char would say, but at the same time I get the feeling that he isn't taking his mask of at all. You never see him relax like he used to do.

Anyway, I just love this series. It has the whole mysterious Newtype thing from the early gundam series and the art, graphics, music, etc of the present. I couldn't have asked for anything better.

Ugh..why did they have to go and bring up the Puru clones.

Out of all the awful things they could have brought from ZZ they had to bring the worst one. Goddamn you Sunrise.

I was slightly disappointed by some reused animation in the first half, but it was a damn good episode yet again. This is definitely my favorite Gundam series, and the Unicorn is just such a nicely designed mech.

Can't wait for the next episode, finally on Earth are we? I'm guessing, as standard for Gundam, Banagher will have trouble adjusting to gravity for a wee while.

EDIT: Marida is such an odd contrast from the happy Ple I remember. She has such a depressing story.

So I guess Gundam needs device drivers as well huh? What was that, installing a new printer or something?

"Fannel!"

Fannel: "Sorry, deaf!"

The fannel freak-out was cool. Geez, Unicorn is dangerous. Now my head hurts, I want to see what this mecha freak of nature completely is.

I like the Unicorn's beam gatling too.

You say this like the Earth is always the good guy. The Federation was corrupt in Zeta. It's not always so black and white, and it shouldn't be. This time is seems Full Frontal is intent on starting a war and is the "bad guy," but we've already seen that people underneath Frontal are fighting on Zeon's side are trying to do what's right.

I can't believe people gushed so much for the first episode, where they didn't explain anything, but this episode where we actually understand the backstory and motivations of the characters a lot better, people are like, "It sucked until the end." This one was the best episode so far.

I wasn't even that big of a ZZ fan (worst of the Gundam shows I've seen), but I totally marked out for the one-second Glemy cameo.

Well in Unicorn, the Federation are the quote unquote good guys unlike in Zeta, but I was trying to clear it up for him that the Zeon remnants are the main antagonists in Unicorn since he hasn't seen 0079, Z or ZZ

In Zeta, it's not the Federation, it's the Titan although Titan was created by the Feddie but its jurisdiction and operation doctrine are totally separated from the Federation.
And in UC, there is no definite "bad" or "good" side...what seems "good" maybe corrupted inside and what seems as "bad" may have a noble heart.

E.g : commander Daguza...
Watching U.C series, you should stop trying to identify the "bad" side and "good" side if you want to enjoy its goodness. Try to understand thing from different characters' point of view to be able to appreciate the beauty of the story.

And trust me, as the story unfolds before you in the next 2 OVAs, you may be horrified by the true intention of the Feddie and the Zeon...

So far, I only like series in the U.C : Gundam 0079, Gundam 0080 : War in A Pocket, Gundam 0083 Stardust Memories, Gundam 08th MS team, Zeta, ZZ Gundam, Char's Counterattack, F91 and Unicorn one of my favorite but not the best, the best goes to Gundam 0083 (pure grimness)
