Along with the revelation that the Unicorn can use mobile suits' Newtype weapons against its original user. They were referring to it as a Newtype destroyer. So if its purpose is to destroy Newtypes yet be piloted by a Newtype....

I still think the Laplace Box evolves Newtypes and this gives my idea more credence. This Newtype would have supreme mental capabilities and destroy any sort of numerical Newtype advantage the Federation has, therefore, easily able to destroy the Federation.

I thought from the prview that it was going to be a mini Char's Counterattack with the burning debrees, me presuming it was that meteor Banagher got taken to in episode 2

My only complaint about this show so far is that the Unicorn only seems to get shit done in Destroy mode, in terms of taking down mobile suits. Does Banagher get better at managing Unicorn mode?

I'm currently on Episode 7, and so far Unicorn Mode does get it's fair share of kicking butt.

Gundam Unicorn Episode 4.

Supposedly the worst episode of Unicorn. Well....

The one thing that turned me off this episode was that it felt like it had little to do with the overarching story progression. The glimpses we do see could have been put into other episodes. It felt like it was trying to sell me model kits. For such a high quality show such as Unicorn (also being an OVA you have to pay for) that feeling felt disappointing.

One thing I liked was how accurate Bright sounded. you could have told me they resurrected his voice actor from the dead and I would have believed you due to how accurate he sounds.

Something I didn't care for was the whole "Newtype infatuation" thing that Banagher had with the chick in the giant mobile armor. Seriously, we've seen Gundam do this shit a lot of times before, only this time with a vengence twist. But it was badass to see the Delta Plus jut rip the Unicorn's rifle out of it's hand and shoot lol. Reminds me of Setsuna's coldheartedness.

I didn't like the wandering through the desert segment because Banagher already spent time with the bad guys in episode 2.

I still need to buy Unicorn 5-7. I haven't even bothered watching 3 and 4 because I want to watch the whole series in one shot.

Gundam unicorn Episode 5

I think I am going to have to rewatch this show in the near future because this episode really confused me.

Marida reconditioned and is piloting a Black unicorn, the Banshee. Wait, wasn't the normal Unicorn supposed to be used to figure the location of Laplace's Box, why the hell is there two then?

And I got really confused about the Federation capturing Banagher and then he joined up with the Sleeves.... so he switched sides? Oh wait, the Feds that aren't on the Nahel Argama or Bright are corrupt as fuck and want to get the Unicorn so they don't discover the box.....

Episode 6 was a major step up and didn't confuse me.

We have the Sleeves and the Nahel working together temporarily to escape the corrupt Feds and we have some intense hostage pointing guns at everyone scenarios. But it was cool to see Marida back to normal and accept he"master" as her father. And Banagher finally is no longer being led by the nose of whoever has captured him at the moment.

Full Frontal's plan was....eh? A political pact that leaves out Earth? That's it? All of this destruction and loss of life to get the box just to tease the Feds and not dissolve Zeon for some stupid economic pact that leaves the Earth out in the cold when they could easily rehabilitate it on it's own? Are you fucking kidding me. I mean it was better then the last few Neo-Zeon attempts but seriously?

Still waiting on the show to tell use who that old dude who keeps watching everything is and if the Box contains what I think it does.

Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt is one of the most vile, disgusting, twisted, immature and raunchy series ever and no one should ever watch it ever.

Thus, you need to watch it. It is hilarious.

Gundam Unicorn Episode 7

Wow.... the best ending I have ever seen in a Gundam series. The most tears, the most gripping action, the biggest twist and the most satisfying conclusion. As much as like Awakening of the Trailblazer's ending, this episode is now my favorite ending.

Marida Cruz's death felt.... good. Usually, when characters I like in Gundam die, they usual die in a shitty way or it just feels wrong. This death felt appropriate and is probably the best Gundam death I've seen. It didn't feel cheesy like a lot of U.C. female deaths, ti was very heartfelt. The fact that she had something unique to say to everyone made my heart jump. I'm glad she ended up a good guy and I will deinfltey get the Khsatriya when I can.

All right, time for the thing that I've been speculating this entire time the Laplace box is.... a document? I was surprised at the initial reveal, with Gundam Unicorn having such crazy tech and battles being ridiculously insane, I would have thought the Box would have been something more supernatural. The reveal is that one article under the Federation Constitution is that new humans have priority in the government.

After sitting and thinking about that reveal, it does make sense how it could destroy the Federation. The federation itself has never really acknowledged Newtypes as a real thing. None of their mobile suits has weapons compatible with their abilities (even if you count Nu and Alex, Nu was under Londo Bell, which technically isn't Earth Federation Forces and Alex was just faster reaction speed.) Zeon is the ones who have given many people the weapons to use their abilities. So if this article would be revealed under the wrong circumstances, it would cause a never ending racial war between Newtypes and Oldtypes, making the Federation's exist to keep a corrupted peace impossible. While it wasn't what I expected, I think it was one of those clever kinds of things like the ELS in 00 where had they taken it the more traditional/easy to write route, it would have made the ending far less special.

Wow, the Neo Zeong did less then I thought. Okay, it went into Super God mode and destroyed every weapon the unicorns had but it never felt destructive. Like, if it destroyed a colony or something, I'd be scared as shit but it just flies around and grabs the Unicorn. Banagher and Full Frontal travelling through time was really weird. Visions like this happen in Gundam all the time but that was some trippy shit. I just love how Full Frontal just casually remarks about going to the end of time now.

Full Frontal was sort of vague. I guess he was Char's spirit, with FF's death now passing on into the afterlife along with Amuro and Lalah but it's never really clear if his body was just some crazy dude who emptied himself or a cyber newtype based body created by Zeon just for that purpose.

But the biggest kicker was at the end, when Banshee Norn turned Green, Mineva revealed the Box and the Unicorn turned crystallized. First of all, about damn time that the Norn got a similar power level to the Unicorn. Secondly, it was cool to see a twist on the Newtype powers Deus ex Machina thing from Char's Counter Attack where instead of moving Axis, they block the laser entirely. And the fact that it was Mineva who got to reveal the box and have the differences between the Spacenoids and Earthlings be quelled with the reveal was quite satisfying and wraps up the entire arc of Zeon.

But I did get my evolved newtype though. With Riddhe saying that Banagher is a Perfected Newtype, I got what I wanted to see from Unicorn.

So what did I think of Unicorn overall? I liked the beginning and I loved the ending to death but the middle (episodes 4 and 5).... I have to rewatch it in English to see. That ending alone is legendary and propels it to my number two favorite Gundam series (00 is still number 1 to me but a rewatch of Unicorn may change that.)

Soul Eater Not! is getting an English dub!

Klonoahedgehog · 09-27-2014, 09:13 PM

I moved from Watching Inazuma Eleven subbed to watching it dubbed.

Eureka 7 episode 10

Holland and Talhoe were in a relationship Well that made that ring purchase a couple episodes back make more sense.

Good god coming back and watching Renton awkwardly try to talk to Eureka is the most cringe worthy thign I've seen in awhile.

And that girl in the orange dress in the opening finally makes her proper appearance.
