I'm going to need to gather up my patience if I'm going to be able to wait and hope this is true prior to rejoicing in the streets. Delicious Unicorn Mecha Designs + Delicious Film Quality Animation + The Possibility of Tomino Directing = Mind Implosion

I definitely like the sound of that...

The UC Gundam series had many awesome mobile suits and mobile armors. The newer series don't have that many because they are on a parallel timeline, whereas there were tons of series in the UC era.

The Unicorn plot looked pretty stupid when I skimmed over it. I wish Tomino would make his return to UC with something else.

Oh well, maybe they'll just cancel the seed movie now, since the chance of that being anything close worthwhile is pretty much zero.

I honestly hope this is true, Unicord Gundam is one of the few Gundam design I like.

From what I've heard the story is awful. The excitement over Unicorn is that it is mecha fan service to the extreme. Thus why I think if they're going to adapt it a film version would be preferable, since Gundam film plots tend to suck anyway.

Mecha fan service is good fun and all, but we don't need Tomino for that. Although if this serves as a gateway for more Tomino UC, then I'm all for it.

For those that like death there'll be alot of fanservice there too, maybe. Sunrise+Tomino is a bad chemical equation that could cause a solution to blow at any time, basically we may see another massacre, otherwise it'll be a flawless victory, so regardless the ending should be either fun or sweet juicy rage worthy.

Personally I don't like the Unicorn look much, but I'll take anything from UC Tomino.

O great, Gundam Unicorn.

Thats that fanfiction novel riight?

I wish Tomino would have stayed true to his word of "having nothing to do with Gundam" anymore.

UC is finished story, with the greatest closure there can be. Finished. Big dot there.

Will pass this.

Definitely UC has left too good taste for me , for it to be tarnished the animated fanfiction novel.
