I don't understand how a franchise like this has failed so hard in the West. The stories are well told and the serious tones are phenomenal.

Respect for all the animators who worked on these. My god

Gundam Unicorn is my favorite work of fiction ever.

I once wrote a 6 page review of Gundam Unicorn, and showed it to my aunt (she's an english teacher, so I wanted to see how well-written it was), she said that I made it sound so interesting that she wanted to see it. So she came over one day and we marathoned it together. She enjoyed it.

The thing I love so much about Gundam is how real it gets with its war politics. Paired with the great characters, MS designs, story, and animation. It’s such a good franchise i can never get enough of it

Bruh everyone forgot the Jegan vs Kshatriya? That was one of the most Epic fights in Unicorn

[shotsfiredandmissed]

Can't believe its been 10 years since the ova was released

1:37 is so underrated. Marida uses a series of vernier thrusters to make a 180 degree turn, then apply thrust in the opposite direction to stop turning, and is immediately able to attack (helps when the mega particle cannons are built-in), while Banagher does a 540 using only the main thrusters in basically the same duration of time. What this shows is:
1. Marida is familiar with her machine
2. Banagher is still being thrown around by his machine
3. Unicorn has ludicrous thrust

For comparison, the Stark Jegan from earlier changed directions using a combination of AMBAC = inertia and vernier thruster boosts. In just 3 seconds before any actual fighting has happened, they've established for us the premises of the fight, leaving Destroy Mode as the only "surprise element" which everybody knew about. So I'd say, pretty damn well done for including this tiny detail.

Props to Sunrise for embracing traditional 2D drawings even with their mechs, unlike most mecha anime nowadays that uses full 3D. While this anime/OVA still uses 3D, it blends perfectly and that it doesn't feel off-putting while watching

[huckybein]

never noticed this until now, but there's an incredibly smooth transition from 3d-2d at 2:11 - 2:15

[clivengu]

No one here mention how good the music is in this series. I am not a fan of the story, but the music just make everything so epic!

[JakeShiba]

Ironic that it's removed from Netflix while this is still on the Netflix anime YouTube channel.

[jacobjohnston]

I love in the beginning when the unicorn is pushing against the Kshatriya, and then his thrusters kick in and accelerate so hard MARIDA’S AIRBAGS GO OFF.

[simondarlington]

Absolutely amazing anime I highly recommend watching it to all who see this message

[TacComControl]

Real talk, that visual storytelling at 2:08 is GENIUS. Marida goes from Determination to Confusion to "OH FUCK" in like a second of facial expressions, and it's performed PERFECTLY by the animation. A thousand props to the animation direction in this case for Showing, and not Telling. A lesser or older-styled team could have cut away for a fifteen second inner monologue, but all of it got sold in that Quick little action.

[ocelot_the_dragon]

The “Get the hell out of my way!” Is my favorite Gundam moment it’s so badass with the music and smashing through walls

[Littlesillyguy]

This series was my first Path to Gundam and Universal Century timeline I'm glad this series was my first Gundam series that I ever watched cool robots, good stories, Great morals about War, Humanity, Hope and Possibilities.

[douggoins]

That sound when the beam magnum fires is epic. U can just tell that it's one powerful weapon just by the sound. Love it!!

[satoshikatsumoto]

That sound at 2:15 when it activates its Beam Saber. MMH! So much power from a simple action.

[dagoth-ursbeekeeper]

Nothing will ever hit harder than hearing the bad guys cry out "IT'S A GUNDAM!" with fear in their voice, no matter how janky the dub is (lookin at you, Wing)

[NiHi]

So we ain't gonna mention how the Byarlant Custom just made minced meat out of the Zeon Remnants? Or hell, how the Zeon Remnants just attacked a Feddie base with up to 17 year old mobile suits? That's the equivalent of someone declaring war while still flying MiG-15s
