Awesome fanmade Gundam Unicorn OP. Love the animation style - reminded me of one of my fave Gundam OP's -Stardust memory.

And Stardust Memory below.

And while I'm at it - don't let the OP of War in the Pocket below fool you - a brilliant anime which will make all Gundam fans cry manly tears.

Whats your fave Gundam OP?

Original text from wildflug below.

Gundam Unicorn comes next after OO?!?!?!!?!

Or so you think...... I was stupified when I saw this at Youtube, darn it's AWESOME!!! Even though that it's not its official song (The song is I don't want to cry: by Romantic Mode) it was okay for an OP. So yeah, it's fan made.

So, if Unicorn would be the next series, will you watch it? Well, I surely will!!!

Wooh! I love the animation style in this vid. Loved the destroy mode animation a lot! I really don't think Unicorn will come next though =( And yeah, Char(assuming it is indeed Char) looks really cool too!

    I'm under the assumption that he is the real char aznable and just went into hiding during the whole one year war and crap. Casval Rem Deikun (the Char that everyone knows)just assumed his identity so he could go under the Sabi family's radar. only a weird theory though, wish they'd really make a series

Wow, about time flash was used to make something awsome, really well done video. Never read Unicorn but I fail to understand why the gundams panels open up to reveal red glowing stuff, seems kind of pointless, much like the color changing of the SEED Gundams, which was , no offense to SEED fans, pretty lame. Though rhis does look rather interesting, though I feel that they really need to move away from the blond masked antagonists. Char Aznable was awsome yea, and Zechs Marquis was pretty awsome too, but they really need to stop that crap, I mean, really! are they so out of ideas?! But yay for a new universal century set series.

  It's an enhanced psychoframe system. Nobody knows how it works or activates and that's part of the story. Full Frontal looking and sounding exactly like Char is also a story point commented on several times in it. In short, it functions like the novel that it is. It has plot points and msiteries to keep you hooked on it.

Saw this a while back, but never were the videos at the quality level posted in the article. I have to say though, the maker did a great job transitioning from commercial to flash scenes.

Would definitely watch Unicorn if it was the next Gundam series. Kinda want them to get back into UC. Don't get me wrong there are some awesome AU series, but it would be nice to go back. Crossbone or an actual F91 series would be nice as well.

All the new Gundam OP tropes in there too: launching sequence, cockpit interior shot, close-ups of pilots superimposed on their mecha, and the by-now requisite female nudity :p

i dont really liek anime OP too much.. but i guess 0083 is good. brings back good memories of staying up late to watch it on toonami's after dark thing they had going on a couple years back.. also 0080.
but my least favorite op was Turn A gundams.. such an annoying song. dont knwo what they were thinking when they chose it to be the OP. i also despised wolf rains op.. so bad, the ed song was nice though.

they shoudl make a gundam unicorn show.. the mobile suit designs are so awesome. i wish i could read japanese so i could read the Gundam Unicorn books :(.

Aaah, War in the Pocket, what a great anime, I loved it, and it`s true, it`s impossible to hold back the tears.

I have to see Surdust Memory and all the rest of Gundam, I already saw 0079 (Only the 3 movies), Z, ZZ and Char's Counterattack, ah, and some SD Gundam (the first ones), in time, I hope to see all Gundam related animes.
