 Title: Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn Author: Harutoshi Fukui Supervisor: Shinichiro Inoue Mecha Designer: Hajime Katoki "The new Gundam novel, and subsequently rumored 30th year anniversary anime. The story takes place in the Universal Century timeline" from interview of Sunrise board member Yasuo Miyakawa about Gundam Unicorn- "For a long time, we didn't have a new story for UC. This is where Harutoshi Fukui's novel, Gundam Unicorn, comes in. Gundam normally begins with a visual production. This time, it will start with a novel. We are providing something very worthy without having to rely on visuals. People in their 30's have the desire to read a Gundam novel. This is not a novelization of an anime, but a brand new story. We think this is our new way of proposing to the "First" fans. The project was started long ago. We are finally able to announce it. It is a story within the UC timeline, but it is not First or Zeta. Amuro or Char won't appear. It is a drama built from scratch. We are not filling in a story between series. This is a new Gundam created by Mr. Fukui. Yoshikazu Yasuhiko is the character designer and Hajime Katoki is in charge of the mecha. Other kinds of exposure will come after the novel has started. It will probably be a long novel. Before we decide to animate it as a movie or TV series, we need to thoroughly investigate it. We would like the fans to enjoy the novel first. We have created many types of Gundam. Fukui's Gundam is aiming for the atmosphere First Gundam created 27 years ago. We would like the fans now in their 30's to read it. It is like wanting to read a novel sequel of a movie you saw as a child. Yasuhiko retelling First (Yasuhiko's prior manga novel- Gundam: The Origin) and Fukui's new UC Gundam novel. Those 2 are our gifts to fans in their 30's". More information available in Wikipedia  |

| Appreciate if someone can translate the Japanese dialogue. |
|
| wow that mech design looks very um um um original |
 |
| im a little confused, so this is the next gundam series after Gundam 00? Also, is that footage of Unicorn Gundam from the Youtube video footage from the upcoming series? |
 |
| I cant really understand anything from the video, my best guess would be its all just promotional video for the novel, though we need the hardcore UC fans to confirm this. The series has not been announced yet and we have no idea when it'll be released. It is not official. |
|
| the GUNDAM 30th ANNIVERSARY website will open in late January, waiting for a big surprise.^^ http://www.gundam30th.net/  ps. reading UNICORN now, and I'll be very happy if it has anime. the story happened in UC 0096, 3 years after CCA... I like SINANJU  |

| Is this based on the manga with grown up puru clone as a supporting character? I really wanna read that one or watch an anime based on it, but I can't remember the name. |

| dude that would be GREAT , let's hope it will be confirmed soon T.T surly it's been a long time since they release a new series which happen in UC |
 |
| Gundam Unicorn..? o.O is the horn like.. similar to the GN drive of 00? xD |
| I'm really looking forward to this. But after the success and realism created by Gundam 00, I don't wan't the Gundam franchise to go back to SEED Destiny style and standard -_- |

This is the information I was talking about "In Gundam Unicorn (which plays in U.C.0096) there appears a 18-year-old "Puru Twelve" clone as Marida Kruz." |

| no tomino=no UC, plain and simple. this was the initial speculation before gundam 00 was created but they opted out of it. i will LOL if they remake daimos. |

But after the success and realism created by Gundam 00, I don't wan't the Gundam franchise to go back to SEED Destiny style and standard -_- Personally I like the idea, and it makes 00 stand on it's own as a different Gundam. Alot of people bash 00 but I have to say I've been quite enjoying it, particularily the last half of the first airing which now that I've seen UC reminds me strongly of Tomino's old depressed style. It gets me thinking... ...when the director for 00 found the internet wasn't too fond of it and insulted it alot, did that put him into depression causing the second half? |

I wasn't aware that 00 was bashed a lot, in fact, many fans have been saying it's redeeming the franchise from what Seed/Destiny did. Also, that Gundam is rather fugly. |

| If you mean that Unicorn-looking one at the top, I think it's kinda cool. Not very Gundam-ish, but still cool. |
| the horn opens up to be a v fin and the face is also covered with a mask |

| It reminds me a bit of Strike Freedom mixed with God Gundam, and decked out in Tallgeese White. |
Black_Kenshin said: It reminds me of a zebra.It reminds me a bit of Strike Freedom mixed with God Gundam, and decked out in Tallgeese White. |
| Zebras are cool. |
| quite unique, it breaks off from the blue-red-white scheme |
|
| I'd buy it.... to pilot. |
great to add to my basement: |
|
| What type of basement do you have, you freak? Besides, I bet you don't have an OS capable of running that thing, do you? |
Black_Kenshin said: fucking vista that shit up. imagine running vista on that. and all the sudden you get a random spyware slowing you down in battle. and then kaboom your torso is gone and huzzah you are dead. "you shouldn't have bought it in the first place"-jesusWhat type of basement do you have, you freak? Besides, I bet you don't have an OS capable of running that thing, do you? |
Black_Kenshin said: What type of basement do you have, you freak? Besides, I bet you don't have an OS capable of running that thing, do you? a very big one the gundam comes with japanese tourists and photographers |
|
| Darn, this sold me. I will buy the Chinese TL'd novels. |
| Tourists and photographers would not be a very good OS. |
Black_Kenshin said: Tourists and photographers would not be a very good OS. yeah but they bring you money instead of robbing you like vista lol |
|
Orange-kun said: Black_Kenshin said: Top one rocks, I'm talking about that ick model.If you mean that Unicorn-looking one at the top, I think it's kinda cool. Not very Gundam-ish, but still cool. The top one is the Gundam Unicorn in it's normal mode,the model one is when NT-D (Newtype Destroyer System) is activated (Destroy mode) |
 |
| Oh wow if true making another Gundam series (Gundam Unicorn) then be awesome and yah does take place UC timeline looks sweet. |
Takuya-kun said: Black_Kenshin said: Tourists and photographers would not be a very good OS. yeah but they bring you money instead of robbing you like vista lol Until the world knows that your Gundam is just a waste of cash because it can't move cuz you don't have an OS to run it. |
| i would rather prefer that Gu puedjies said: I'm really looking forward to this. But after the success and realism created by Gundam 00, I don't wan't the Gundam franchise to go back to SEED Destiny style and standard -_- I would rather have it back to the Seed style. |
| I don't care what style it is, so long as it's good. |
Takuya-kun said: great to add to my basement: O.O omg...that is what you call fandom... |
| Very impresive gundam... ! |
 |
| But it don't work! |
| hey |
Kira-yamato said: wrong thread.hey |
| .. exactly which thread would be the right one, in that case? |
| I'm all for the idea lol |
 |
| The Gundam Unicorn looks cool, maybe It'll like launch off or stab other gundam/mechs |

Haha, I get the feeling you don't like Vista? :) Anyway, more Gundam series make me a happy person. As long as it involves massive mecha battles, I'm sold. |

Black_Kenshin said: let see. he has to turn right, flip his car upside down, recite the banana's and pajamas theme song, fist big show, and then turn left. then there's the right thread. .. exactly which thread would be the right one, in that case? |
| Hah, I'm sorta liking this albino Gundam. Hell, I'm interested enough to read the novels... translated of course. |
 |
| Interesting! I'm ready for more UC. UC Gundam shows have that special feeling that other non-UC series do. ^^ |
