Can't wait to see the finale. The dub is absolutely brilliant for these OVAs one of the best I've heard.

Wait Bandai is still dubbing Unicorn even though they are out of business over here?

I don't mind waiting because I was wise enough not to start an OVA while it was still being produced. Now I get to marathon it all next year. Hope it's as good as people say it is.

Dear god, a 1 year wait, Why? However, it could've been way worse like a 10-20 year hiatus like some manga have.

Yep. I'm guessing they're still under contract so they still do simul-acting/releases for Gundam Unicorn.

OT: Dammit, I was hoping it would be released this year. Oh, well. It'll probably be worth the wait.

It's unlikely :) The last volume of the Unicorn also called "Beyond the Rainbow". Also the last episode will be full-length as I heard. It is quite enough to complete this chapter.

What made you so sure that everything has been completed already by now?
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

quality animation takes time, give it like 10 years more and futuristic and cheap 3D animation will make anime production very fast

Another reason why Bandai is milking the waiting period is also to increase sales of the model kits for all the mobile suits released in UC. The more they sell, the more money they rack in while people are waiting in extreme anticipation for the next ep. It's a surely thing for fans to collect and be proud of their figures.

Just that extra 10 mins than the usual 60? Why not make it 90 minutes? It's definitely worth the long year wait and it's a way to finish it with a bang. Just saying...lots more fandom.

What is so strange about this? You can think of it as a series of short films - that would not look that "ridiculously long" then.

Now confirmed to be 90min for ep.7
Earlier it was just "planning" but now in the Sunrise Festival, this detail was confirmed.

Wow that's like 4 episodes and a half right there, 40 minutes longer than the rest of the movies. With length like that its no wonder production is taking so long especially since they want to keep the same animation quality as the previous movies. Also, isn't the English dub done at the same time as the Japanese dub? I'm sure that takes awhile as well.

There was some rumor about ep.7 to be released in March because of a report on a UC talk show ( http://www.gundam.info/topic/9279 ) but later it is corrected and the date remains as "spring 2014".

March 2014 release makes sense.

Hellsing Ultimate took like 6 years to finish for 10 episodes. Each episode is of a much higher quality than a normal episode of an anime, you can see it as a short 1 hour long movie.

Hellsing Ultimate only took that long because there was a change in studio around episode 7 or so, plus all the episodes before 6(?) were redone for blu-ray. Gundam Unicorn will take long because

1. It's mecha, which is one of, if not the hardest thing to animate
2. The animation quality is amazing
3. They do worldwide releases for Gundam Unicorn so dubbing/subbing is done as well.

Around the same time as the Japanese dub. The BDs come with dual audio.

I see Marida and her Kshatriya are back in action, I'm guessing the defecting Feds repaired it? Man "5th Mov.: Gundam" gets me so hyped.
