| nice Op and that was epic just like i remember it to be |
 |
| I think Unicorn has unusually long dialogues, probably the longest of all Gundams, but that's what I liked about it. Also a lot of great characters from previous series make another appearance. |

| Who spliced this shit? That was a worse opener than Origin's Loum. |
| Sieg Zeon! |
| Unicorn was already slow paced but this is really killing it I really liked that they translated the speech in the background that was a really nice detail not sure if the original unicorn did that too |

| It's nice that they are redrawing scenes and adding new stuff eventually, but it's really going to feel awkward for newcomers, considering the story was paced around the OVA format, so just stopping in the middle of the episode will of course feel awkward. It might end up being the definite version once it's complete, since marathoning will fix that issue. |

arsonal said: kurapikasass said: I was pretty bored up until the last 5 minutes. I'll watch a few more episodes and give it a chance though. I don't blame you. When I first watched Unicorn years ago, I fell asleep watching the first OVA and never continued. Last year, I started watching the series over, and despite the same feeling of being slightly bored in the beginning, the latter part of the series was great. Hm, so hopefully it'll start to pick up for me then! Thanks! ~ |
| Did they cut some material that was on the OVA ?! |
| sigh it seems people will only be satisfied with heartless cold blooded killer pilot as the main character, for me unicorn was awesome banagher was more believable as he struggles to find out his purpose in the laplace conflict |
| Press ctrl + F4, see what happens. |
| Is this anime worth following if it is my first gundam series? |

You'll still be able to follow the essential plot, but you'll miss the name-drops, character pasts, wider in-universe lore/continuity, and so forth.Is this anime worth following if it is my first gundam series? The other issue for you to consider is whether it's worth watching Unicorn in this weekly format when it was originally released in movie-length episodes already available in their entirety. |

| i only watch this to see the glorious OP and ED video songs im hearing about and was not disappointed i already seen the OVA version back when it was first release |
johnyjohny said: Might not be the best series to start with it seems. Which do you recommend to a complete newbie? Depends on your tolerance to dated art and animation. The optimal way to watch it is to watch the original MSG/The compilation movie trilogy(the latter is more recommended), then Zeta, then ZZ(though if you want you can skip this one, though a certain major character from Zeta doesn't have their story concluded till within it) then CCA, then Unicorn. Though if you don't want to watch 50-100 episodes of seventies and eighties anime, you can still mostly understand Unicorn without viewing the prequels. |

| @Insertanamehere Thanks that makes things clear. I think about it for some time. |
| .. |
To be perfectly clear, "mostly understand" might be an overstatement. You can follow more or less what's going on, but you'll miss the significance of much of it unless you at least know a lot about the previous history of the Universal Century, because this series is basically ABOUT resolving that history. |
| The opening is nice. |
 |
| That ending is gorgeous. Banagher saving Audrey always reminded me of that scene from the original Macross.. I'm glad the episode ended with Banagher's offer to help so they aren't compressing the anime. |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| wow! Sawano, Hiroyuki such greatness! and OP nZk! also waiting for ED Aimer! by body is ready for this since I only reached the 3rd episode of the OVA... 5/5! |
 |
| So this is just the Unicorn OVA as a TV series? This is about as pointless as Break Blade as a TV series... I think I'll pass. If I want to watch Unicorn again, I'll just watch Unicorn again. |

| A socially apt aspiring engineer as hero this time? But the tradition of the missing/bad father figure is preserved. The mecha fight wa snice but made the start a bit heavy. First thing I noticed: after ZZ and Char's movie (and some parts of Zeta), I like the return to the original chara-design style. For the suits, the long haired woman's robot reminded me all those Neo-Zeon late armors with elytra (ZZ). And the Federation soldiers are still using those little Nemo? Is the narrator voice supposed to be recognized or is there nothing special? (I was kind of expecting someone from one of the first series to get the job) 3/5 The conspiration part (if I understood right) seems promising, I hope the war/politics aspects are returning on the front scene. |
| The begining of a new era, and the star of a new war?? |
| I'm finally here after finishing The Origin, 0079, War in the Pocket, 0083, Zeta, ZZ and CCA. I must say that the first episode was meh but I love the animation. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| Banagher Links's spidersense tingled there. xd |
