The CGI killed this episode for me, they mixed it in well before and didn't overuse it. Why the change now? It looks so ridiculous and stupid.. really hate seeing such poor CGI around such high quality animation.

Especially at the beginning right before the title was TERRIBLE. I tried so hard to not cringe or shudder.

And where the heck did Takuya and what's her face come from? Or have they been on the NA this whole time?

I couldn't care less for Rhiddes in this episode... but the Delta Plus definitely deserved better treatment.
Awesome episode. A major improvement to episode 04. Oh and that ending song... FUCK YEAH BOOM BOOM SATELITTES!!!

Awesome episode, I loved it, especially when Kai and Beltorchika appeared :D

Talk about one twisted love triangle going on between Riddhe-Mineva-Banagher, I have a feeling that there will be Banagher vs. Riddhe going down in the final chapters.

I also cringed when the Delta Plus was crushed like a can... poor MS barely got to fight at all. I'm really digging the Feddie MS designs (Jesta and ReZEL in particular).

This is the only series that takes my breath away every episode. Rekindles my hope that not all anime is doomed to shallow plots and fanservice.

Hey, Kai and Irma appeared too.
Glad to see they changed it from the novel though, the way Marida was supposed to die was just too moronically cliché. Here's to hoping that at least one cyber newtype survives for once. Hopefully make that too if they change some more in the next episodes. Though I doubt Frontal will survive as well, we know how it's going to end after all.



That was fucking Kai wasn't it? when I saw that scene I was sitting there going "...i...is.. is that fucking Kai?!" I missed that rat faced bastard.

Now if only we can get Sayla to show up.

Fucking hell.

Honestly, this is how they should have done Berserk, as a series of hour long OVA's or something. At least Gundam Unicorn is primarily hand-drawn, which is an enormous accomplishment.

Seriously, this is shaping up to be something special. I can't believe there are only two episodes to go.

Oh man they just have to leave Banshee to Riddhe, he's probably gonna pilot it later no matter how much he hates it.

Kinda liked ep 4 more, to little real action with Banshee Suit.
And what the hell is with the green psycho field? It looks like the green light from the ending of the "Char's counterattack", that changed colony course.

if episode 6 fallows the novel many people will drop the show that is all people who read know what i'm referring to :| lets just say it a major reason of why i hate Riddhe...

Gundam Banshee reminds me a lot of Gundam Mk. II. This was probably my least favourite of the 5 episodes so far, now I have to wait a while for episode 6 after watching the last 4 in a row. Damn.

This episode is actually pretty good! i hate that the fact Riddhe trying to taking Mineva away from Banagher >_> and that fool killed Loni smh

Riddhe deserves that beat down from Psycho Marida gundam hehehe fun while it last.

MinevaXBanagher scene was awesome! she just calmly falls in the sky and say "Catch me" holy shit! epic! xD

Banshee is ultimate sex! the transformation made my jaw drops.

I like the fact Banagher is two-sided from Earth Feds to Zeon lol just reminds me of Athrun from Gundam seed. :P

Look no further than the original series. Amuro starts off as a pussy, but by the end of the series he's fucking awesome.

Man...at the end there, it was kind of nice seeing that the Unicorn ran out of fuel.


Yeah, that was a nice touch. Don't think I ever remember a mobile suit running out of fuel in the UC timeline. It was a nice touch. I also liked all the small details throughout the episode. Just goes to show how high quality anime can be with enough time and budget.


Me neither. I always knew they used fuel but they never run out. This ep was pretty awesome. I love the new OSTs used, and they also used my favorites the battle, mag nug, and mobile suit woot! This is probably the greatest gundam series made. Glad they are going to make episode 7, but now we have to wait 6 months lol.


A year, actually. Ep 6 got delayed to spring 2013 with ep 7 an undisclosed amount of time after that.


Why did it get delayed?


I know this is a bit old in this thread but this series was originally slated for only 6 episodes but with the response the series has received it was extended to 7. They announced it around the same time this ep 5 was released. So a little shuffle on splitting up the last ep and adding more content!

5/5

While reaffirming my lack of knowledge about the Gundam saga, I really enjoyed this OVA. This time, I found it all makes sense, heart pounding until the end.
The beautiful part about the action, many scenarios in the same battle.
Full Frontal's pawa! * w *
Now missing only one OVA to see, then I have to wait until it arrives in my country as an Italian language version of the Seventh Unicorn OVA! : D

Sooo much better than the last episode. Banagher finally found his strength and realized he can fight without killing. Ridhee Marcenas got humilliated to the point of homicidal non return and unwieldy alliances were formed once again (surely only to be broken next ep, LOL, it is Gundam after all). And we got cameo's from Kai and from what I believe is Amuro's old flame Irma Beltorchika.

The animation was as usual breathtaking.

Please let Frontal and Banagher team up that would be just too cool.

Riddhe can't let go of Audrey, that's going to get him killed. And becoming the pilot of the Banshee basically just raised his death flag. The scene where he started attacking Marida was very reminiscent of Jerid killing four back in Zeta gundam. I'm just glad he didn't kill the anyone; I would've been so sad.

And apparently Char and Amuro died at the end of Chars counterattack. I swear they both survived after Amuro pushed back axis :/

Good to see Kai and Beltorchika. Bright Noa staring at Amuro's pictures brings back a lot of memories from the original.

So, they're calling it now the "Axis Shock"?

Nice cameos from Beltorchika and Kai Shiden. The Dogosse Giar-class, General Revil makes an appearance as well.

And am I the only one who thought that Bright Noa would slap Banagher the moment he grabbed his arm? That would straighten him up.

You know, I always wondered why so many mechas feature scenes where a mecha could easily be destroyed or at least captured, but because it's such an easy plot device...no character would ever think of the obvious....how....boring, incoming Riddhe and the Banshee fucking shit up for Banagher next episode!

Otherwise pretty good episode.
