| According to the official blog of Oguro Yuichiro, the chief editor of Anime Style, the release of Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn Blu-ray & DVD volume 3 was postponed until April 7th. It was previously announced to be released on March 18th. Bandai explained the reason that they have received unexpectedly large number of pre-orders and it has become difficult to secure the production lines. PV1 of Unicorn Episode 3 The special premiere at the theaters and the pay-streaming on PlayStaion Network will be available from March 5th as scheduled. According to the official twitter, the limited sales of the blu-ray at the theaters has barely got the green light. The number of the discs to be sold at the theaters are still remained to be determined. Sources: Oguro's blog, Unicorn official twitter |

| wo that goes to show you Quality is better than Quantity and Gundam Unicorn is the prime example of it its just only 6 episode OVA but i think its selling better than long series like Naruto Shippudden and Bleach hope Japanese anime studios will learn from this Quality animation and adaptation rules!!! |

| One would think Bandai would be prepared for this since they've been printing money off the Gundam franchise for 30 years now. Shame on them for underestimating the demand. |
| Ok™ |
| Who delays something over get too many pre-orders? No, you just say sorry and you start a bigger second print like the Akira Blu-Ray. |
| My anime list |
| Now that's a delay they can be proud to announce. First time I've heard of a delay because they were swamped by fans |
 |
| the psn streaming one is what will get fansubbed first anyway so the delay doesn't affect us unless you wnated it in br quality asap... |
| Better than having the series cancelled midway through because of low sales, that's for sure. |

 I am proud to have Clannad as the only thing on my dropped list. |
| Awww.. Oh well, I'll gladly wait another month for Unicorn. |
 |
| At the initial rate, the 6th episode would have been released Oct. 2012. If the postponements also happen for the next episodes the 6th would be released in 2013 LOL |
 |
| Gundam otaku just LOVE dem unicorns, eh ? |
| more waiting heh |
| My goodness but Unicorn being delayed due to preorder overload shows that this anime is pure quality, too bad this affects me as well since I preordered this as well. |

Detective said: >delay an anime that comes out about once a year What is this, Hellsing? nope. hellsing actually had a compelling story and badass characters. anyway, not caring about the news. When it comes to anything gundam this is to be expected.as japan is crazy on this franchise. |
 |
| At least we have a valid proof of continuity!^^ |
| Why do so many people like good things? :< |

I wish that one time in my life I could read a discussion without some idiotic post as this one... |
^_^  ^_^ |
| Was hoping for a quicker release but it just shows how much people are crazy about Gundam in Japan xD |
 I am a man than can make the impossible, possible. |

Honestly I think that Gundam Unicorn does have a compelling story, as for characters I think they're bent towards realism. However I respect what your opinion is. |
| Didn't this happen to volume 2 as well? |
