WATCH IT, IT’S AWESOME! Do you really need to read reviews to determine whether or not you're going to watch this?! While there’ve been many incarnations of Gundam since Char's Counterattack none of them take place in the universal century. UNICORN is the universal century in HD! This kids is return of your parents Gundam. This is why Gundam is approaching 40 years of airings. All the things we love about Gundam are here. Also, despite it being the sixth (don’t fact check me that’s off the top of my head) entry in the universal century You don’t need to watch all of that first.All the important characters are explained here. It seems unapproachable given the history, large cast and terminology but once you get into it none of that will matter; you’ll go with the flow. I don’t know what ornamental words could convince one to watch this; you knew from the second you saw Gundam & 0096 whether or not you were going to watch it. It teaches the futility of war all over again including the roles corporations play in perpetuating war. What else can I say? If you love the universal century Gundam, watch it. If you love other forms of Gundam, watch it. If you’re curious what this Gundam thing you keep hearing about is, watch it. If you love the mecha genre, watch it. I recommend this series for everyone! The only people I can imagine not liking this series are people who don’t like Gundam in the first place.
