With Banagher Links as its master, the Unicorn Gundam goes into action. The mobile suit that is said to be the key to Laplace’s Box offers a glimpse of its incredible power in single combat against Marida Cruz and her Kshatriya. After the battle, the Unicorn Gundam is captured by the Londo Bell warship Nahel Argama. Also aboard the ship are Micott, Takuya, and Audrey, who have been rescued by a Londo Bell pilot named Riddhe Marcenas. Full Frontal, leader of the Neo Zeon remnants known as the Sleeves, launches an attack on the Nahel Argama with his mobile suit Sinanju in order to obtain the Box. Frontal, the so-called “second coming of Char Aznable,” claims to be a vessel embodying the hopes of the Spacenoids. What will happen when he encounters Banagher on the battlefield?

Even better than episode one
Well I have to say that episode 2 of Gundam Unicorn is much better than episode 1, at least in my opinion. We finally get to see the Unicorn Gundam in battle, as well as the Char look-a-like Full Frontal, and I must say that whoever created that scene did not disappoint. I was quite amused when the Sinaju kicked the Unicorn in a manner reminiscent of Char's Zaku kicking Amuro's Gundam from the original series. Aside from that one moment, the battles remind me more of Gundam 00. Its very clear allowing you to see the movements in detail.Of course its not all battles, there is some serious character development as the episode basically outlines the motivations for the Zeon and Federation faction. There are also hints at the past of Banagher which has led me to an interesting theory. He also displays characteristics common of Gundam protagonists, he willingly pilots a mobile suit (with surprising talent) in order to protect something (in this case Audrey Burn AKA Mineva Zabi) however he doesn't want to kill and in fact becomes quite upset when he discovers that he did in fact kill someone accidentally. And of course it would not be a Universal Century Gundam series if at some point the protagonist didn't ask about why adults had to drag others into their wars.Overall I highly recommend this for any Gundam fan.

Vol 2 of this exciting Gundam series!
Following up episode 1 of this new UC based Gundam OVA series, we finally get to see the Unicorn Gundam in action as it squares off in not one but two fights in the ep. Further plot points unfold as we get to meet Full Front, aka the Ghost of Char and more of the mysteries of LaPlace's Box are unraveled. This series continues the same high production values as the first with gorgeous film quality animation and full orchestral symphonic score. They could easily recut the existing eps into a feature film and it would look great on the big screen. A must buy if you already have ep 1, but if you own ep 1 already, you'd have already bought this anyway.For a solid and comprehensive fan review of the Gundam Unicorn series, check out the anime mecha podcast Gundam! @ MAHQ with SBR & the Crew, you won't regret it.

Gundam at it's finest
The show is doing so well and has been so popular it has been extended to a 7th episode, which is long for an OVA but well worth it in this case. The artwork is great as is the audio, I wish I had every gin dam series in this quality to hear on my home theater. The storyline confirms what has always seemed the case in the UC timeline of gundam; which is that both sides are wrong, both sides are right, and no one ever winds in a war. It's closest to zeta gundam, and the lead character Banagher is reminiscent of Kamille. Much how Kamille fought both the federation and Zeon Banagher fights for both of them and neither of them; he only fights for what is right and to protect people. Great series don't hesitate just buy it.

Masterful
very excellent and worth the money i paid for it. i cant recommend buying this above $50 but its hard to find these at good prices now since bandai-entertainment is no longer existing. this iteration of gundam is one of the best if not the best and all fans should flock to buy this.

Amazing Visual and Superb Audio Quality!
The crisp and appealing visuals are excellent, but the sound design on this movie is equally fantastic. Events in this installment of the series moves the story along but is not quite as awe-inspiring as the first, but the quality of the production is to be marveled.

Vol 2
One of the best ova's I hace seen since Macross plus. The art is problary the best I have seen. With the use of cell shading of the CGI effects make for a commplete and well rounded adventure. 5 out of 5.

Outstanding
Probably the best of the three Unicorn ova's released so far. This episode not only features some very well animated battle sequences, but also goes deeper into the characters and the factions, specifically the Sleeves. If you are a Gundam fan this is a must-watch.
