The much awaited Gundam Unicorn series has been confirmed as being an OVA of 6 parts, each of 50 minutes.
The OVA will be released on both Blu-ray disc and DVDs, and is also set to be shown at special events both local and internationally. The exact date is still uncertain, but Bandai Visual has confirmed it to be next spring.
The series itself is adapted from the novel of the same name, written by Harutoshi Fukui, and covers the same timeline as the original Mobile Suit Gundam series. The novel concluded in June, and thus fans should be happy to know that the OVA will most likely strictly follow the novel without any divergence.

I will enjoy this
Surprised it's not a TV series, but pleased it's not a movie (F91 anyone?). No piercing the heavens, well, that's okay, but they better do damn good job on it.
Now all we need is a Gundam Butterfly to complete the phrase "Unicorns and Butterflies~"...
Turn A Gundam and the Turn X in the same series both had a weapon named the "Moonlight Butterfly".
>Blu-ray disc
YES
Awesome! Can't wait!
OVA huh? It might turn out better than I had hoped..
It's actually the V-fin on the Gundam just folded together.
And just you guys wait, the main villain is named Full Frontal.
It's probably not going to happen, simply because Sentinel wasn't created with Sunrise staffmembers. It's the same reason why we'll never see Crossbone or Ecole du Ciel adapted into an OAV or a TV series.
Still waiting for my Gundam Sentinel anime, Sunrise....
that picture makes me think more of Evangelion than Gundam
I wonder what happens if a Gundam achieved bankai?
Just because the unit/mech is called unicorn doesn't mean it has to look or have the feature of a unicorn.
How stupid would it be if the F-18 Hornet jet fighters actually looked like hornets.
...or B-2 Spirit that looks like...um...a spirit?
frigging dam awesome actually
Gundam Unicorn doesn't look like a unicorn. THIS is what a unicorn looks like:
http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/g/fuunsaiki.htm
... But it has a feature of unicorn.. the horn
DUR?
This is gonna be good~! yesh!
nice now i got something to go with the unicorn gundam figure i bought=)
CHAAARRRLIEEE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsGYh8AacgY
I bet that horn can't pierce the heavens.
Sorry only drill allowed
yep it definitely is not, like the anon above me said, it's for spliting apart as a part of the transformation...
sadly, I think it's gonna be a while before we see another epic heaven piercing action from anyone... T_T
That horn isn't meant for piercing anything, but being split apart as a part of transformation
Why...is it called Unicorn?
Don't know anything about Gundam but it just seems an odd thing to label a mecha series.
huge freaking horn
because the appearance of the gundam itself looks like the unicorn...^^; can't you tell by looking on the picture above?? ^^;
Jesus Christ! On a crucifix! Stuck to the top of a Gundam! In the next series!
But, I suppose the unicorn horn thing is a phallic symbol/overcompensation. Sort of the male equivalent of female super-mega-oppai, but in a different dimension and form.
Everyone knows (or should) that penises are attached to a male's crotch, not skull.
I guess the Unicorn Gundam is just a dick-head.
ohohohohoho
Zone of the Enders always made me laugh because of those "cockpits"
As for the overcompensation thing... we already have Zone of the Enders and the "cockpits."
Same here.
I thought it was Unicron (from Transformers) Gundam
Seems like a trivial thing but I guess so.
Funny, because I remember the ''horn'' on Unit-One in EVA :D
gundam series were always named strangely
seed? 00? turn A?????
there are some "series" with nice name though
stardust memory, war in the pocket
TAAN A! TAAN A!
TAAN A TAAAN TAAN A TAAAN TAAAN AAAAAAAAA
Do do do do do do do do dodododooooo
stop it!!!! you're making me relive the horror....
Why can't we get along peacefully!
Seed = name of the ability
00 = name of mobile suit
Turn A = name of mobile suit
Actually most of Gundam TV series was named after a mobile suit name :P. Most of the OVAs was not (except Stargazer)
They come.
Doesn't it bother anybody that only a few selected characters can use SEED and they never really bother to explain what the hell it is?
Dam this is going to be awesome
I have to say these past two years, have been really good years for gundam fans XD!!!!
no it hasnt. gundam 00 LOL
GSD wasn't in the last 2 years. :)
Don't you mean Gundam SEED Destiny?
SEED was bad anyway.
And it's only going to get even better.
Why did I expect an Unicorn (as in, the animal) to appear on this post...
You called?
No, he's not.
you probably meant: "No he didn't"
It makes sense in this way
LOL
Unicorn Win.
Also, did they HAVE to call it Unicorn? I mean, Jesus. Did they just not know how many jokes this would attract...?
Unfortunately, yeah. Look at that "horn".
GHEY?
stone im to death in the name of God!!!!
I've never heard of this before... What purposes those the horn serve??? Does it work somewhat like a Narwhal's horn?
CHARLIE~~~~~~~~!!!!
FUCK NO! -_-
OH GOD
