Gundam Unicorn Gets Worldwide Simultaneous Release

Sunrise’s anime adaptation of Gundam Unicorn (Gundam UC) has been confirmed in an official announcement, and the studio also reveals that the series will receive a worldwide simultaneous release in several languages (Japanese and English obviously featuring heavily).
As is so often the case with these “international” releases, a closer reading of their announcement actually guarantees only immediate Japanese/US/Korean availability, but this apparently satisfies Bandai as being “worldwide.” Doubtless the rest will follow eventually.
The title is set to become the core of a wider marketing push across a number of affiliated companies (meaning there will be much plamo and games), all starting in the winter of 2009.
However, whether the feature itself will be TV, movie or OVA is not yet clear…

AFRO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
some of these comment written by a bunch of regurgitated shitty kids.Original Gundam(and original timeline) still the best.Without this,all the Gundam franchise will cease to exist.
Unicorn.. Timeline which not far from CCA. Gotta watch this:) Compared to non UC series (include Wing, Seed and 00, etc), I would like to say mech design from CCA is still my fave. Sazabi Rules (and Shinanju does look like it).
Include this, I presume almost every gundam series always has Bit-type/funnel weapon which I like:p
What is the most future Gundam series in UC anyway? Crossbone?
G-Saviour.
Crossbone is even before V...
Links looks like a combination of KatZ & Kamille. It'll be nice if he's voiced by Nobuo Tobita (the one who did Kamille in Zeta Gundam)
Though I don't know much about the UC era Gundam's and the storylines (except Zeta), I'd prefer the UC ones than the others....Not being rude to other fans of other Gundam's that I really do prefer the Old Gundam series compared to the new ones.
I'd usually prefer heavy theme's since this is a war story, not a Bishounen piloting robots going out in battlefield kicking asses.
Don't worry, a lot of Gundam fans do prefer UC. Well, except those fed with Wing, SEED and other non-UC crap.
UC is best but the other timelines are ok too. The things giving non-UC timelines bad names are the stupid retard kids that make comments that they dont even know. I'm a kid and I'm not as stupid as they are. Gundam is the Best! Cheers!
UNICORN POWER.
i won't be surprised if this kid is a descendant of judau ashta from some far away space colony or something.
O3O I am really digging the style..
nice bloody ending like f91 or a very tragic ending like mgz let's wait
I'm looking forward to it.
the gundam looks okay but the character looks shitty old art style...
+1 to your comment
In the near future I foresee them attempting to cater to the female crowd with "My Little Gundam".
The thing about Gundam is...
Everybody has his own likes and dislikes, so everybody should just keep their own hates about a certain series to themselves...
Haven't you people have enough of doing all this Gundam fan-base war over and over again...
If you guys can't say something nice, say something smart, else just shut up... -_-
==========================================
Can't wait for Unicorn. Yet another Gundam anime to add to my collection... ^^
Wait, Keiji Fujiwara is going to voice Bangaher? Where did you hear this?
Not entirely sure though, since I haven't tried to confirm it myself... x_x
read it from somewhere sometime ago... forgot the link though, and not him, but Ryu Roots if I remember it correctly...
People only like Wing because of lol toonami nostalgia and people only like SEED because they like shitty character designs. Also known as newfags.
A new UC series...
I'll follow this with interest.
Hope Sunrise will do an animated version of Sentinel in the near future.
Though, hearing the guy that voiced Ali Al Sarches as the main protagonist... Just doesn't sound right... LOL... It'd be interesting though, to my point of view... XD
UWOOOOOO SHINANJU UWOOOOOOOO!!!!
Candy Mountain Charlie!
...
...
AHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA
Uni-motherfucking-corn Gundam AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA
*wheeze*
*catches breath*
*reads title again*
AHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAAAA
This movie only proves that FAGS DON'T READ
Needs moar Char :3
People who are new to the series always say:
"Seed is the best so far" or
"Wing is the greatest"
Well for me, The return of Gundam to the universal century timeline will surely draw the Z ,ZZ, CCA, V etc. fans back into watching.
YEY FOR THE NEWTYPES!
As long as they don't ruin the UC timeline with this..
I've been wanting to see Unicorn animated since its release..
NEWTYPE RULES!!!
If they follow the novels closely, I doubt that will be much of problem.
*much of a problem.
Agree with you.
Miss those UC Gundam and their heavy storyline
It was about time they did it, I just hope that they do it right!
I need to get my MG unicorn soon...
ver. KA...?! Got it ady...
Yay More Gundams!!! means More Characters on GVG!!!
I just started to like gundam...
I wonder what kind of weapon this gundam have??
It's special ability is the "Psychomu frame" i think
>>means More Characters on GVG!!!
I AM WITH THIS MAN!
-hopes for Unicorn as guest Gundam in NEXT-
And here we go. Another Gundam Series.
Seriously, do not want!
Sigh its sad whats happening to gundam, wing was the best gundam ever.
And this gundam "unicorn" god what a stupid name, but we cant judge a book by its cover... i guess...
More candidates to be Bright-slapped.
Try watching G Gundam, their names and designs are stupider.
Hey look! More bitches begging for the Bright slap!
Make you wonder, just what are the kids growing up on these days?
Between "god what a stupid name" and"we cant judge a book by its cover," you're not being very convincing.
'wing was the best gundam ever.'
By your first line you have already lost all rights to talk about Gundam. Any Gundam.
WORD! People really need to actually see other gundam before talking about them. I was watching 00 and a pal of mine got me the remastered version of 0083 Stardust Memories (expensive, btw).
Due to that, I still haven't finished 00. Couldn't stop myself from comparing them and seeing how inferior it is to 0083.
00 was basically Wing anyway.
Failed Gundam fanboy troll is fail. GTFO (-_-;)
i believe this anon is correct. good sir this is no trolling, this is a fact.
lol i luv LMAO at seeing the retards go 'omfg victory is copying destiny!'
Seriously, if he had worded it as "I liked Wing best so far!" or "Wing is my favorite!", most of us would have just ignored his post as from just another ignorant noob and act as if he doesn't exist.
To word it that way is just asking for trouble.
So what you are saying is that if a certain noob came in with Seed Destiny, he should be excused for stating that
'Destiny was the BEST Gundam EVER!'
To hell with n00bs. If you have only seen an extremely limited portion of the entire Gundam series, DON'T use words like 'BEST......EVER!'.
That's just asking for it.
Anon is wrong sir. This ballyhoo is uncalled for. Just see the post below justifying my point. If he came in where I did (w/ wing), and saw nothing else of Gundam, that's his position. Give the non-fanboys a chance.
Fanboy trolls aside, depending on when you first heard of Gundam, Wing would be considered the best. It's #5 on my list now since 00 came out with Gundam 0083, original Gundam and Char's Counterattack taking the top 3. Unicorn is just another weird change to the franchise like Turn-A (underrated) and G-Gundam (-_-). But, this may be a good addition to the U.C. side (except for the dude's cotton candy hairstyle).
Haha you gots a point.
Well for me:
1.Victory Gundam (Angel Halo Can make the human race stupid... With just a push of a button.)
2.ZZ (Since i ilke the Gunpla model and his badass weapons)
3.Mobile suit Gundam (Nothing beats the original)
4.Gundam Wing (Gundam W/ wings anyone?)
5.Gundam Seed Astray (After beating your opponent into a pulp w/ kicks and punches, why not finish it with a Gigantic sword huh?)
Wing, because fukken pilots are gar and don't need no space suit to go to a battle. A worn out singlet will do just fine
that's my broom...
My bad, that pic is drawn where the wind is blowing his air into that "cotton candy" shape.
go home newfag
where is the sinanju image?
Crazy hair :D
Reminds me of Katz, I just hope that he isn't as stupid as him.
concur...ridiculous hair style...But kinda suit my over due MOB...
Am I blind because I still see Gundam 00 as the most decent Gundam series that I've watched so far?
Looks like Bright's going to need to slap a couple of bitches.
Looks like someone's begging for the Bright bitch slap.
Watch Zeta, the series, not the movies.
poor little emo kid.
You are not the only one watch the first season couple times(belive me that never happen).Although I think seed concept was the best,still love 00 more.Oh my fav gundam is GP03 and Astray.
my favorite was seed and seed destiny
I know it have stupid char, but at last at gundam seed destiny every episode was memoriable, maybe because at the end of each episode is so cool
the wrost maybe gundam 00, season 2 is the worst of em all, wtf with all char, why do they need to come alive, and stupid lockhon do they think it was right choice to make younger brother that look exactly the same
and stupid char that brave enough to kill someone but not brave enoguh to kill someone that already kill someone, come on make me sick watching all that shit. and wtf about losing only one hand make it like the whole country is killed
i stop wacthing it after episode 13
Yet another one for the Bright-slap.
astray.. was.. horrible imo..
seed series are just a "remake" copy of zeta...
what can we say, Unicorn Gundam is the most badass gundam XD (well, except that fanart where all the 00 gundams fused)
If you're talking about the Gundam, I'll second that. For a post OYW era MS, Unicorn Gundam is quite a devil.
Arr pardon me, I meant post CCA.
oyea? Pony Gundam is moar badass coz you can brush its hair,
Fuun Saiki?
Crossbone and V2 would like to have a talk with you and, if you include non-UC Gundams, I will also present you ∀ Gundam.
ALICE from S-gundam like to have a word with all of you, now only if you can walk out the cockpit and put the gundams on auto-pilot...
While Penelope may not be the strongest gundam, it is a serious contender of the most mean-ass looking gundam in UC(certainly beats Unicorn).
Penelope is one of the most hideous creations ever, along with almost all of Kunio Okawari's shit.
Nice idea, except gundam is boring now.
Where is my SHnY season 2??!!!
Why are you asking for SHnY from Sunrise? (-_-)
Because they're known for reviving dead characters?
good point ^^
It's only boring because of things like SEED and 00.
It's a Char!
What if I said shny is shit and overrated just as much as gundam????
I'd say you're a dragonball kinda guy...
we'd call you a troll and give you a score of 0/10????
sorry but haruhi is fucking shity
what no TW release?
i guess i'll have to settle with english... i hope it's sub not dub
from the face... look like another emo kid... hahahaha...
yea, like u
Wing was the gayest thing I've ever seen, and G seemed like a kiddy show. I hope Unicorn is nothing like this...
G is hot blood!!! well...the designs are a bit off..other than God and Master and so many gundams in the last 2 episodes(inside joke XD)
personally think that G isn't so bad.
Please don't compare G to a U.C. Gundam series...
Need mot to worry, man...Since U.C. Gundam based on novel...
I like this simultaneous-release business a lot. Sunrise deserves every dollar they're going to make from this series. And Unicorn is gonna be all kinds of awesome, I just know it!
Gundam Wing ,G Gundam, Gundam 00 are the best so far. Fuck Gundam Seed its plot sucked!!!
YEA!!! G GUNDAM!!!!(pardon me if you dun like G)
THIS HAND OF MINE IS BURNING RED!!!
IT'S LOUD ROAR TELLS ME TO GRASP VICTORY!!!!
TAKE THIS!
MY LOVE!
MY ANGER!
AND ALL MY SORROW!
SHINING FINGGGGGGEEEERRRR!
Except Seed HAD a plot. Maybe that's your problem.
Yea, except the plot a copied from MGS and Zeta gundam. Nothing original what so ever.
There was a plot? You lost me there
Never said it was original, just stating the plot was there.
Maybe he's talking about the plot armor...
