...is apparently getting a movie.

Secondo quanto annunciato da Takayuki Yoshii, il presidente della Sunrise, il 2010 vedrà l’uscita di un terzo film d’animazione ispirato alla saga di Gundam, Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn, tratto dalla serie di romanzi di Harutoshi Fukui. Confermate inoltre tutte le iniziative legate al trentennale annunciate in precedenza, come il festival musicale e la costruzione del Gundam in scala reale. Video allegedly from a private press release at an anime con in Italy.

I'm gonna wait until Sunrise makes some kind of official announcement. But it would be so cool if we did get a Unicorn movie.
I wonder...if this thing is for real, and it's licensed in the States, wouldn't it be great if they licensed the novels too? I know I'd like that...

I know, ain't that funny?

UPDATE: Vol1 of the unicorn novel series has been re-released in Japan, with a promotional sleeve that shows an image of protagonist Barnage Lynx that quite apparently could've come from the upcoming movie.

EDIT-UPDATE:
AnimeNewsNetwork (Click for full article) (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2009-04-21/gundam-unicorn-novels-anime-adaptation-confirmed) is carrying the following story:
The wraparound jacket band on reprints of Harutoshi Fukui's Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn space robot novels have confirmed that an anime adaptation has been green-lit for this winter. The jacket band does not specify the release format of the anime project. The story is mainly set in the year of Universal Century 0096 — three years after Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack, the last anime to feature the protagonist Amuro and antagonist Char of the first Mobile Suit Gundam anime series.

AAAND, and an early shot of the Newtype cover reveals the following:
http://usera.imagecave.com/ZGMF-X20a/xv22x9vi.jpg
1. The two lines of large-print yellow text at the bottom of the page mention Mobile Suit Gundam 00
Presumably this has to do with next year's movie. What it says I have no idea.
2. The first two lines of black text to the left of Ed's head read Mobile Suit Gundam UC
Dunno what the rest says, but someone fluent can probably tell us.

Well, I would apologize for necroposting, but since there's a ton of new information AND it's my thread...

It has long since been confirmed that Unicorn was indeed being animated, and what's more not just as a movie, but as a full-fledged OVA series, like 0080/83/08th MS. What's more, it's slated for a world-wide simultaneous release some time next spring.

Bad news? That's a lot later than initially expected(this winter).
Good news? It's almsot certainly worth it.

from 2:20 to 3:10 you will see more new footage of UG, and even a big surprise at the end:

Edit: Just in case, the music you will hear is not from Gundam Unicorn, and I could not find the official commercial or trailer containing this newly footage of UG.

@Yadomaru: Gundam Unicorn will be epic, that extended trailer was sick and like you said the score was awesome. In 2010 Gundam will take over the world with the 00 Gundam movie and with Gundam Unicorn.

Actually, that is neither new nor a surprise. The footage in that video comes from a commercial that's more than two years old, and advertises the novel that the anime coming out next year is based on. The two books at the end are the first two volumes of the novel, released 9-26-07.

Again, no. Well, it's possible, but very unlikely, because that trailer predates the release of the first novels, on which the anime is based. That's simply a few seconds of animation in a commercial advertising the books.

I truly get your point about the trailer being from a commercial of it's novels, but there is some animation there that is presented in the newly extended trailer. I personally think that some of that animation done way back for the novel's commercial will be used for this OVA.

Yadomaru
12-14-2009, 11:37 AM
Well, the supposed "Seed movie" never got anywhere beyond a vague announcement of an upcoming project, and an equally vague "Oops I've been sick but we're still working on it" two years later.
And it's been ages since that. So I seriously doubt that's ever going to happen at this point.
OTOH, we have some fairly solid information, trailers(two for Unicorn, one for 00), and at least for Unicorn we have release dates. So barring some kind of last-minute Oh-Shit clusterfuck, the 00 movie and Unicorn are both going to happen.

aren't you going to complain that gundam should have more rukia in it?

Yadomaru
01-13-2010, 05:10 PM
Now that right there is funny.

I'm a tad curious about who's gonna be voicing Full Frontal.
Ideally I'd like it to be either Michael Kopsa or Tom Edwards, both of whom voiced Char in Mobile Suit Gundam(series) and Zeta Gundam, respectively.
Though Steven Blum, who it turns out voiced the Red Comet in the movies, would be very cool too.
The reason those three are my picks are that, well, they voiced Char, and Full Frontal is reputedly "The Second Coming of Char", down to the voice and even that small scar above the bridge of his nose.

Some of the fandom would like to see Brian Drummond, whose claim to Gundam fame is as Zechs Merchise, IMO the most Char-like of the AU pseudo-Chars.

Two suggestions I've seen bandied about, both of which horrify me to no end, are Ted Cole(voiced Gilbert Durandal, a role voiced in the Japanese by Shuichi Ikeda, aka Char *mild shudder*) and Mark Oliver(Rau Le Creuset *shudders in horror*

Cole I wouldn't like, but could live with. Though for me his name is indelibly associated with the pathologically annoying Wufei Chang, so seeing him as a Char would be just odd.

Oliver...Eeewwww. No way. Anyone who has the titles "Candy Land: The Great Lollipop Adventure" and "Care Bears: Adventures in Care-a-Lot" should NOT be voicing a Char Aznable clone.

That review fails to mention the awesomeness of the battles, in which a faceless grunt, on two occasions, manages to last more than five seconds against a massively more powerful prototype unit piloted by a major named character - which is altogether far too rare in recent works.

Having seen it, I LOVED IT.

I hope the animation stands up to my tastes and standards.

The animation is ASTOUNDING. TBH, I think it's the best-quality animation Gundam's ever seen.
The battles are especially beautiful.
For that reason, I would recommend downloading rather than streaming it. Or just get the Blu-Ray.

Zero-sama
02-22-2010, 12:22 AM
I can't believe what I have just witness. The first episode is a instant 10 out of 10, a masterpiece. The battles are very detailed and amazing. This is Gundam in another level, the new level. This OVA will be a masterpiece. Enough said I'm gonna buy the
Blu Ray. This is a must have for any Gundam fan.

from the outset, gundam was as a propaganda show to sell toys. the quality has gotten better, but the focus is still toy sales. i admit i'll watch the new offerings, but calling it a "masterpiece" is just silly.

Zero-sama
02-22-2010, 07:31 AM
^ FYI calling it a masterpiece was my personal choice and opinion upon what I saw. Didn't they ever teach you in your home to respect others opinions? What a silly person you really are.

If you think that Gundam is all about "propaganda" then check out your friends at Disney, they are worse.

while we are most entertained by your fanger, i have no reverence for disney or any other studio. one important distinction is that bandai is a toy manufacturer, and disney is not. snow white probably could be considered a masterpiece despite nobody at the company realizing the plural for dwarf is not dwarfs. notice that i had to dig decades back to before toy licensing existed. as bandai is primarily a toy business you are watching longform animated infomercials and declaring "masterpiece". i respect your right to delusion.

Well first of all you are a retard. If you where not so fucking dumb and read the post I posted you you could have avoided this. I personally gave it a 10, IMO the episode is a masterpiece, whether is a feature length informercial or a regular episode. I don't give a fuck about the toys or Disney and I know what Bandai does, so no need for your explanation and seriously I don't give a damn what you think regarding Unicorn, Bandai, Gundam, Disney or whatever it is you will say.

Zero-sama
02-22-2010, 12:23 PM
Feature length informercial? That would be in your opinion, because what I saw was simply the first episode. I know what you are trying to establish, but it fails because then you would have to apply it to almost everything out there, something you are not doing.

Stop trolling, if you wanna discuss the whole informercial thing then create a thread or think and do it somewhere else, because this is a thread to discuss Gundam Unicorn, not the $ side of it.

you are assuming i am against bandai. did i not openly state i willingly watch their infomercials? the difference between us is - i have a realistic perspective on what is being presented. i also haven't bought any gundam toys to date, so i may even be immune to the brainwashing.

Zero-sama
02-22-2010, 01:33 PM
I have a realistic, professional, and personal perspective on what I am seeing and reading, that's the huge difference between us. I'm not gonna be buying all sorts of Gundam merchandise like a freak, only the Blu ray disc because IMO it's worth it, judging from what I saw and like in the first episode. I don't buy Gundam toys, therefore I don't see it because of the toys, I simply see it because the story IMO it's amazing, beautiful, and unique. I watch Gundam with the same intentions I watch other animes or read manga, and that is to have some fun and distract myself from the daily BS.

The difference is that you have it all wrong and need to think before you post.

I missed this and I wanted to quote you there. Open a thread to discuss this because you have it all wrong. Disney is the biggest company out there that makes cartoons in order to sell toys, lunch boxes and all kinds of merchandises for kids.

Why is it that they released Aladdin 2 and 3, Lion King 2 and all those unnecessary sequels, for the sole purpose of selling more lunch boxes, toys, Aladdin notebooks, pencils, back packs, clothes, etc. Bandai is a little boy next to Disney when it comes to propaganda, informercials and brainwashing kids and parents. Disney are the kings at doing that, period. If you don't believe me then go to a school and you will see a
lunch box of some Disney character instead of a Gundam or a Bandai one.

Open a thread if you are gonna reply.

what hypocrisy ordering me to start a new thread. you still fail to grasp that it is more accurate to compare bandai with mattel than to disney. while i am in no way defending disney's ventures into licensing out their characters to toy companies, they are not themselves a toy manufacturer. i watch gundam as a guilty pleasure rather than trying to elevate junk culture by labeling it a masterpiece.

Naw hes right. Great first ep. I was skeptical following 00. But this first ep is definitely 10/10.
I still feel ep 1 and 2 of 00 were a lil better. But then again ive seen all of 00 so that opinion is slightly biased at the moment.

Animation quality was great. Loved when the teacher got vaporized for some reason. That was the final point where "ok im sold." then the other students get it. Yes lol

Unicorn better get some wings though. All the coolest gundams have some wings.

I thought id be disappointed by this but it surely delivered.
And as for toy sales i mean TV would be gone without commercials. If toy sales is what gets us a new gundam series then fine by me.

Masterpiece is hard to say because it isnt complete. But it is definitely the making of a masterpiece.

Dont like main characters name though.

Zero-sama
02-23-2010, 04:37 AM
Yeah, his name is kinda weird, but at the same time is cool because you will not forget about it, lol. I would have preferred another name, but anyways that doesn't take away the fact that this is a damn good new Gundam OVA series. That's why I already gave this 1st episode a 10/10 and also IMO the first episode was a masterpiece.

Well that certainly sucks. Something like this i would have almost rather just waited until they had completed more episodes then wait weeks or months for more.

Of course marketing has never been one of animes(any animes) strong suits. I really wish i could be involved in some of this decision making.

Great animation,great plot everything was really good.

Some things that annoyed me and had me thinking,on the other hand.1)How is it possible that the technology to have advanced so much in a couple of years?
2)Banagher is a newtype or not?
3)Who are the bad guys lol? The Federation or Neo-Zeon?

1. Not really all that much, technologically speaking, that's leaps beyond what we saw in UC, except for Unicorn Gundam itself, and that thing's entire internal body is one massive psycoframe. Biometrics is something we've yet to see for UC, but it's not necessarily cutting-edge stuff.
2. Just from what the episode implies, yes, Banagher is most certainly a Newtype
3. Tricky question, but my impression is that the situation is basically the same as you see in CCA and F91: The Neo-Zeon are the bad guys, and the Feddies are just morons.

Lol,my mistake,I had just forgotten the actual timeline(because of the Amuro reference)
You know you are right,the Feds always behaved like assholes and the colonies suffered for that.Plus the constant hostility/imperialistic tendencies by the Zeon.

so far i am also impressed by this new series. though i hate its theme i really like the way the none destroy mode unicorn's design. Banagher is a fairly likable protagonist. i am looking forward to full frontal's introduction, char is probably my favorite uc character. I really want to see how this series fits itself in. It seems like it really tries to make itself important to the time line, yet it doesn't fit with f91 or v to me so far. I wonder if they will say its a slightly alternate time line similar to what they had done with the Z remake trilogy.

Great animation,great plot everything was really good.Yea the animation was definitely top notch. Although i just rewatched some 00. Im still a little partial that 00 is still the best gundam ever. But this one is definitely 10/10. But 00 is 12/10. lol

Banagher has to be a newtype. Especially after he beat that other bitches ass. She was a newtype.

LOL Anyone who opposes Audrey and Banagher are bad guys. lol Which appear to be both sides. LOL IDK the one chick was like trying to save Audrey but just totally fucking killin innocent bystanders in the process. I mean dont get me wrong for whatever reason i like it when innocents get the axe. lol But what a bitch. Just randomly shooting anywhere inside a colony? Freakin cunt much? I think so.

Waiting months for another ep is completely ridiculous though. Whos bright idea was this?????

But yea this made me rewatch some 00. Unicorn is tight. But its confirmed. 00 Raiser is the most badass gundam ever. And 00 gundam is the best gundam ever. But this appears that it could be a close 2nd place. Definitely cant wait for ep 2.

to me it seemed like marida wasnt trying to cause shit in the colony, the feddies were after her and she mostly just kept the shots to them, untill she hit the core of the downed mass produced zeta (dont wanna take the time to find out the exact name). At one point it even seemed like she was trying to gtfo but more came in from that tunnel where banagher was on the ground.

I feel kinda dumb now that I have to rewatch the first ep over and over again till the second comes out.
Fortunately,I'm on a U.C series marathon and now I can get the pieces together
