Gundam UC.(Unicorn) OVA 1 Review

Published by snowxhaya under , on 10:23 a.m.
Finally finish the first OVA of Gundam Unicorn, for those haven't seen the episode yet, I will make sure not to spoil everything yet(Yes, I am pointing at you, snow!)

Since there is still not a compatible version for me to capture the screenshot, I will first write my review, the pictures will be posted soon after.

First of all, just summarize a little bit the background of this story. Gundam unicorn is a light novel written by Harutoshi Fukui(福井晴敏), contains 10 volumes in total. The novel is ended at August 26th 2009. The story returns to the traditional UC timeline, the author tries to complete the blank period between "Char's Counter Attack" and "The Flash of Hathaway". 



The first OVA stops at about the half of the second volume.


Few comments after I watched the first OVA:


1. At the explosion of the Laplace Federation President Residence: Come on I know show is a bit are short of time, but the explosion of the terrorists spaceship is a bit too harsh? >< if you haven't read the novel, you wouldn't know that the terrorists were betrayed by their organization, in order to keep the whole terrorist attack event in secret.
2. The illusion of Syam Vist had when he was wandering in the outerspace about the Operation Great Britain is completely deleted. Where in the novel, he saw a group of Zaku-II escorting the wasted colony in its way to the earth.
3. I believe Banagher Links has mis-read Gundam W's script and thought himself being in the role of Heero Yuy, in the novel, he doesn't know any Kung-Fu, rather, he helped Audrey Burne to escape from Marida Cruz with luck.


Besides of that, I think the OVA is at pretty high quality especially the battle scene. It made me wanna buy a Kshatriya home. >M<

3. 1 to 2 new monsters will also be added (unconfirmed).

Weapon/Armor:
1. Double sword, Gunlance, hunting horn will all be back in MHP3rd.
2. Due to the high throughput of battle axe in MH Tri, the offensive power of this weapon will be lowered.
3. Bowgun system in MH Tri will be retained(combination of parts).

The game is believed to be released at the end of this year, this assumption is based on the fact that the two other games of the same franchise "Monster Hunter Online" for Xbox 360 and "Monster Hunter Dairy: Poka Poka Airu Village" for PSP is going to release at the middle of this year, Capcom would not want these games to compete with each other.

These info are all unconfirmed, please believe at your own risk.
