Lately, I stumbled upon an advertisement about the newest installment of gundam series, called mobile suit gundam unicorn. I came across it when I am browsing my favorite anime site, www.crunchyroll.com. For you who don't know, you can watch anime for free in this site. not only anime, they also provide japaneese and korean drama. I sometimes watch korean drama too ;) sounds bit cheesy, but I like cheesy stuff hehehe
so back to the discussion about gundam. I am quite huge fan about Gundam, and I have some scale models of Gundam at home. the first episode that I follow was Gundam SEED. I just barely know about the previous Gundam episodes, like Gundam Wings, Gundam Zeta, and Gundam 00. I think there are a lot more hardcore gundam fans out there who can name more gundam episodes than me, but these are enough to get someone started to like Gundam.
So the story of Gundam Unicorn takes place in the far future, where human already found a way to live in space. The human in space has their own goverment, and its separate from the earth goverment. the earth was trying to maintain its control to the space colony. In the end, earth was having dispute about the control of space colony, and the space people didn't like it. War broke out for around 10 years between earth and space. The war was also colored by technology wars, where earth and space has their own gundam. On the end of this war, peace treaty was signed between earth and space. The story of Gundam Unicorn takes place three years after the end of the long war.
I have to say that I have just seen the first episode of Gundam Unicorn, and it looks really good. The graphic and the mech design is always superb in gundam series. For the story, I bet it will also be interesting, with a lot of plot twist here and there. the plot twist is mostly about war politics, I pressume. Without any further adeau, I present the trailer of Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn, for the curious head out there ;)
