Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn 01

[Yukimura]

It was somewhat of a problem for me in that there were new factions introduced and new names given to old groups. The Vist Foundation is completely new as far as I know and the 'Sleeves' seem to be a new name for an old group, the Neo Zeon forces. The Federation is still the Federation though. Londo Bell is sort of like the special forces of the Federation that gets all the newest and fanciest toys.

As for factions from the way it was shaping up in the beginning I thought the Sleeves might be the protagonists of this series but after the massive collateral damage dished out by the Kshatriya I'm rather confident Banagher will side with Londo Bell and the Federation. That said the Federation has a knack for asshattery that is only surpassed but the Zeon's knack for asshattery so I expect there to be strife between the rank and file and the higher ups just as there always is in UC Gundam.

I don't know i mean i liked all the characters but i just may have a problem with banagher's motivation for wanting to help audrey. Mainly what is it? Saving her I understand i wouldn't wnat anyone else to die either... but afterwards going to such extremes and even abandoning your friends (and relative safety) to go chase after some girl you met less than 12 hours ago seems a bit off.

I think he's helping her because he finds a sense of purpose. After the first fight of the episode, you see Banagher working in the mech. The first shot makes him look as mechanical and lifeless as the mech itself.

He mentions it later that he "knows where he belongs" when he's working with the princess. Asking the princess to declare he's needed was his way of confirming and having someone acknowledge this purpose.

The last bit of the episode suggests that it's probably "in his blood" to stop wars/change futures etc like his deceased family before him.

The funnel mech's pilot looked like the princess. Are they related?

Other then that, Yay for more Gundam anime.

Someone posted this on another forum I read. Can anyone confirm if its true that this will come out once every 6 months?

I can't find where it's announced to be once every 6 months. However, ANN says that it'll be 6x50mins OVAs, in which case every 6 months sounds fairly plausible.

Blah, another OVA format anime i'm interested in watching.

It's enough that Isekai no Seikishi and Katanagatari are on a monthly basis. Waiting 6 months between each episode is really going to suck.
