The second episode of the most recent addition to the Universal Century saga, Gundam Unicorn, is slated for a release in Autumn of this year. At this rate, there will be 2 episodes a year, so from this we can assume that the 6-episode OVA will last 3 years. The second episode is entitled Akai Suisei, or Red Comet, which is a reference to Char Aznable’s nickname as he used a red mobile suit most of the time (with the exception being in Zeta Gundam, when he piloted the golden Hyakushiki under the comical moniker of Quattro Vagina). The useage of the term Red Comet also belies the origins of Unicorn’s main antagonist; Full Frontal.
Considering the expected length of the Unicorn OAV, it’s fairly safe to assume that Bandai will take the plunge with a dedicated gaming tie-in. The fact that the Unicorn Gundam has been prominently featured in Gundam vs Gundam Next Plus a full-on Unicorn game is hardly beyond the realms of possibility. Here’s hoping Team White Dingo helm it and it lets you pilot a plucky Jegan or ReZel, as the grunt units are always more fun in these kind of games.
Pilot a Jegan or ReZel? No way, man.
I wanna be the guy who got out of the Loto and decided to try firing a human-size bazooka at the massive Neo Zeon Newtype Ace’s mobile suit.
Gundam Unicorn is turning out to be an OVA of the old fashioned sort in more ways than one.
