 Got this pretty cool screencap of it with the crown folded out at the end. Thought it might be worth posting, looks pretty awesome. |

| Holy holy that was an amazing episode. |
| i'm realy disapointed ,because it's a such cliche, little kid gets his shiny gundam to save a little girl, who he just met, yay... |
| This looks like a promising new series. People dying..an evident motif of Gundam. |

This type of story was Cliche 10-20 years ago maybe, now its pretty unique in this sea of over-complication and moe. This stuff is RETRO. Retro is good. We need more retro. |

Where you disappointed the other 30 times this has happened in a Gundam related media? It's like watching Transformers and going "aw Jeez more transforming robots can't they do anything new!?" Atleast this one was alittle different this time, it was actually made for him, he didn't kinda steal it. |

| epic animation i just watched the movies of gundam and f91 (and played robot taisen 3 but the history is in jap :S only the commands are in eng) but i am guessing many stuff just by having played gundam battle assault 2 on the ps1 since everyone call the girl hime-sama, shes a princess and the fourth tragedy i tought it was something that was goint to happen to her btw Kshatriya ms is an upgraded quin manta?(ok i just readed that its piloted by puru two and that marida is another puru) what are those normal ms? i mean the greens(not the zaku lol) the blues look to be a mass ver of RGZ and the ones with tracks are guntanks? besides all my mecha questions i liked the ep, has anyone noticed it being similiar in just a few things to the 1st ep of seed? space colony attacked and the 1st activation of the gundam is it rising from flames xD those newtypes have some badass moves xD and i agree they act REALLY strange(f91 made me realize this) |

The Green Mechs are RGM-89 Jeagan, they are Feddy grunt mechs The Blue ones are RGZ-95 ReZEL they are specialized RGZ's and the Tanks are Lotos they are the predecessor to the Guntank Yes he's a NewType only new types can use the PsycoFrame, the only other gundam that used the Psycoframe is Amuro's Nu Gundam, but it was in beta then. But the Unicorn uses a new system as well call the NT-D (Newtype Drive) which that was the transformation. The pink armor underneath the white armor is the Psycoframe. |

| Actually, Mahq says that the Loto was the predecessor for the F-50D Guntank R-44. Judging by the time period as well, it seems more likely that the Loto is the successor to the original (and probably the mass produced version) of the Guntank, but outfitted and painted for Lodo Bell's mission use. |

| This Gundam's way better than Seed and 00. Like a thousand miles better. |
| Awesome quality! For me best anime of 2010 ! |
| Off to a great start. UC ! |
| kshatriya is more like a smaller quinn mantha. it looks more menacing though. but the way it was rolling all over the colony was fucking funny as hell. like a turtle with no legs. |
| Why is Unicorn being called Gundam UC? There is more than one UC series |
martin03345 said: Why is Unicorn being called Gundam UC? There is more than one UC series It did confuse me, but it does seem appropriate since Unicorn deals more closely with the birth of the Universal Century itself. The other series focus mainly on the conflict between political powers and the involvement of Newtypes in these battles, but Unicorn takes off from that and instead roots itself into the mysteries of the era itself. The theme of beings capable of higher forms of communication and understand is taken further, and Laplace's box remains as the central plot element of the series, while in the other TV series, the plots mainly revolve around a war. |

| For obvious reasons, I find that Unicorn is really entertaining. The animation is superb although they opt for retro-style character design. The soundtrack is also nice, with a touch of rock and instrumental. Overall, I like this Gundam series very much. I'm very tempted to read the manga but I'm scared that it might spoil some epic moments when they are revealed in the anime. I can hardly wait for August! Off topic: Which Blu-ray version should I get, BSS or Thora? |
| ^^I think it makes no difference, since the BR rips use the official subtitles anyway. I personally went for the BSS 1080p encode. On topic: In the final scene during the Unicorn's NT-D transformation, the beams from the Kshatriya's funnels are deflected around the Unicorn in a sphere-like barrier. My initial impression was that it was the Unicorn's I-Field generator at work, but I have a vague memory of reading somewhere that the Unicorn's I-Field generator was mounted on its shield, which it clearly does not possess. My question is: What's happening? Is my information correct? And please don't say he's manipulating the funnels, because no matter what he can do with the funnels themselves he can't possibly bend the beams with his mind. |

Your right the I field generator is only in it's shield, The only thing I can possibly think of is, The NT-D can "hack/take control of" other Psycommu systems, maybe in that instant the Unicorn hacked her funnels and changed the beams in some way? Or maybe it was a electromagnetic discharge made by the energy release of the psycoframe luminescence phenomenon? |

| Unicorn has brought back gundam to me. I was worried I'd be stuck with 00 spin-offs for the rest of my life. Huzzah! |

Or maybe it was a electromagnetic discharge made by the energy release of the psycoframe luminescence phenomenon? Well, the beams themselves shouldn't be bent if he jacks into the funnels; they're discharged and accelerated Minovsky Particles (henceforth MP), and by no means can the funnels exert control over them. The transformation, on the other hand, could have an effect. There's no details on the psycoframe luminescence given off by the Unicorn in NT-D, but if the performance of the unit rises it would stand to reason that the output of the generator must rise to match, and thus release more MP. Perhaps these MP are, by chance, or because of sheer density of particle concentration, somehow forming themselves into a protective I-field lattice (and therefore serving as an I-field independent of a generator). Wikipedia mentions the possibility of Z's biosensor granting Kamille the ability to exert some form of MP manipulation, so that, too, may be what is happening. But these theories do raise a question: Why bother with an I-field generator at all if it could do this? XD Unless, of course, the I-field is functional in Unicorn mode, which would make plenty of sense, but from my (rather poor) memory, my source also mentioned that it only activates upon the NT-D transformation. |

Yea the I-Field on the shield is only available in destroy mode. Maybe the Unicorn's body it self can generate it's own I-Field, but the Shield it nothing more then a I-Field Amplifier, instead of a I-Field generator. The shield may just make the already existing I-Field of the Unicorn stronger. |

| this was full of win, the animation was incredible. i feel having to wait for the rest of the episodes will be worth it. looking forward to the next one, whenever that will be aired. |
 |
| I was like "Holy shit" |
| Impressive animation but somehow I just couldn't get into it, probably because it's more of an introductory episode with its share of action than anything else. |
| Just watched it and damn i t was wonderful! |
garfield15 said: midgemage said: Basically, Newtypes just act funny. They're like... schizos. Except with more epic skills. And funny hair. Newtypes are....Newtypes..... Think of them as human aliens. Of course they act funny lol Great start. The original UC universe is way more developed than the other derivatives.... |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| 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 |

| 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 |
