So You Want To Watch Gundam Unicorn? | The Perfect Start to Gundam

So, you want to watch Gundam Unicorn huh? or maybe you just want to know the watch order or where to start watching Gundam? That's fair enough, it can be pretty daunting.

By the end of this little video hopefully I'll have been able to convince you to give it a watch, as well as give you a bit of context about the series with minimal to no spoilers.

This video is also based off the OVA series currently on Netflix, not the episodic series on Crunchyroll. The one on Crunchyroll is essentially a longer drawn out version of the OVA's and is nowhere near as good of a watch.

Here's a quick synopsis of the show if you wanted some more context:

Gundam Unicorn revolves around Banagher Links, a seemingly normal schoolboy living in the space colony Industrial 7. His life changes one day when he meets a mysterious girl named Audrey Burne, as the encounter brings him into contact with a new Gundam and its connections to an item called "Laplace's Box".

Hope you all enjoyed this one!

If you did don’t forget to leave a like and subscribe for more! A like is highly appreciated as right now for whatever reason, Youtube removed half of the likes this video had as well as a fraction of the views which is so important in the first 24 hours of a video being uploaded to help it grow.

So any support is always greatly appreciated.

I also hope you’re all keen for some Zoids content because that’ll be coming up next!

Short, sweet and to the point. Reminded me of your old Code Geass video, nice work man!

[ShinetoZeroX]

as someone who start The UC timeline with unicorn, I would strongly advise against it. because there are plot points and references that newer fans won't understand until they've seen the previous series instead I'd recommend Mobile Suit Gundam 8th Ms team or Mobile Suit Gundam 0097 as a starting point for UC.

Huge fan of your videos man, keep it up!

Dude, this is EXACTLY the video I was looking for 8 months ago when I first picked up a couple of kits and was looking for context and a way to get into watching Gundam. Awesome, as always, to see another well-produced and realised video from you. Oh, I forgot to comment on it, but I loved the video about your collection (as one of the people who’d been asking for it), that was super fun to see. Keep ‘em coming!

When Banagher's dad died the way he did, I realized Im gonna love Unicorn and I did. I'm not a big fan of the designs but the story and dynamics got me hooked. Kinda feel bad that I used to pass on it. I also will recommend Victory and G too :) although that's 51 episodes

[thealliedpowers]

starting gundam with Unicorn is like starting a book at the climax chapter, why would someone do that?

[kalebgonzales]

When I first heard about the unicorn gundam around early 2010 ( without seeing it yet) I though is sounded like a goof, because it reminded me of G gundam. But when I saw it. I was hooked. It’s like hearing Rick Astley then realized he was white haha!

[neroidius]

Oh so you’re a Gundam fan? Name every single gunpla.

Got into Gundam this year and i kinda disagree, of course gatekeeping is wrong, and I would never dream to force someone to a specific watch order since is their experience and they should decide for themself, however as someone who fineshed Gundam Unicorn yesterday after watching origin/z/zz/cca i can confidently say that some themes and characters from Unicorn hits 100 times harder, therefore while is not required, especially because Unicorn still give you a general basis of everything that happend in the last 100 years of Gundam in world history, is still hightly recommend to watch at least the series i leasted first, especially Z, ZZ and CCA(movie).

However keep this as a suggestion rather than gatekeep, if you want to start with Unicorn start with Unicorn then, as long as people come to enjoy giant robots is all fine, especially since not everyone has the time to watch Gundam in a relatively short amount of time, therefore if you want to watch the series you are curious about first is completely fine, a lot of people didn't started with the og or origin when we talk about UC(main timeline) after all.

My only problem with watching unicorn first, is that with every non-gundam fan friend I've introduced to the franchise with it, they get put off from the older series because of the drop in animation quality and then never watch the older series, so from then on I just introduce them with the older series, and watch everything in order.

[defalt]

Just started gunpla months ago
Now i started iron blooded orphans dint regret it after that im gonna try watch every gundam series

[mohammedaiyaad]

For me, Gundam 00 and iron blooded orphans are the best gundam series ever

[KBNOtaku]

So "Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn Re:0096" is the same as the OVA? only longer? Because I have Crunchyroll!

[ThatDudeCobz]

I’d say Origin is a better start point, but Unicorn is pretty dang good.

[gundam]

Off topic stuff, but I still find it absolutely pathetic that Sunrise and Bandai has not done nothing to change the Gundam franchise for the sake of it gaining more popularity and new fans. By this I mean that every new release uses the same formulaic story, characters and of course the already out of date high emphasis on the mecha themselves. I get that Gundam exists to sell Gunpla, but anime fans these days don't give a damn about giant robots, that shit is old and outdated. Shows like Code Geass demonstrates this change from mecha to characters, and look how popular that show turned out!

Gundam unicorn was the first gundam I watched thanks to hiroyuki sawano.

[Nekro]

I dont feel like I understood who the key factions were after the first episode, i thought the federation attacking this colony cause they were making a deal with zeon?

[omegadragoon]

Watched this on gundaminfo years ago and I didn't really enjoy. That probably stems from me no liking the tone nor the pacing. Then again I'm not a fan of real robots at all, which explains why I like shows like Zoids wild and Gurren Lagann and dislike shows like chaotic century and gundam.

[Happy_Magician]

I've watched all sorts of Gundam since 98 and didn't know about Unicorn. Thank you for this.. however one question: wtf is a cutie pie or whatever?
