Both are high-budget OVAs belonging to iconic anime sci-fi franchises. The main plot focus of both series is relatively simple and essentially the same : embarking on a journey through space on a quest to retrieve a mysterious item said to have the potential to alter the fate of humanity. One difference is that the divide between "good and evil" in Gundam Unicorn is much blurrier and less apparent compared to Yamato, never really portraying any one faction as good or evil, although Yamato does feature some villains one can genuinely sympathize with. Both OVAs have stellar animation quality and amazing soundtracks (especially in Gundam Unicorn's case) and have a similar retro vibe and "epic" cinematic feel to them. I consider both shows to be some of the best shows sci-fi anime has to offer and are highly recommendable.

Toward the Terra and Zeta Gundam share many similarities on several levels. In terms of characters both series feature young, initially naive protagonists who get caught up in conflicts involving rebel factions and their struggle to overthrow oppressive governments. Both characters are opposed to fighting at first but eventually mature later on, and go through similar character development. There are also similarities to be found story-wise as both series revolve around a similar main narrative : two races of humans (the "Mu" in Toward the Terra and "Newtypes" in Zeta Gundam's case) struggling for independence and recognition, making the themes of discrimination, acceptance and understanding central themes in both series. Both shows while mainly sci-fi feature some supernatural and psychic elements. One difference though is unlike Toward the Terra there's a heavy focus on mecha in Zeta Gundam, being a Gundam series of course. Overall, both shows are highly enjoyable, well-written anime space-opera classics, both a must-watch for any sci-fi fan.
