Gundam UC OVA part 1 Day of The Unicorn

The Long waited and must-see anime for gundam mania, Gundam UC. Among all Bandai's release for this year, this might be their most successful release yet. I realized that this OVA has been released a while ago, but for those non-gundam mania, I will try to review this with non-bias point of view.

The end of Common Era which also serves as the beginning of Universal Centuries, marked with terrorism attack on Prime Minister Laplace's spaceships. Apparently, one of the terrorist is the founder of Vist family and Vist Organization. Vist Organization holds power in Anaheim  Electronic, A Mecha-production factory(All of you non-gundam mania can assume it as a weapon factory) who had sells its products to Earth Federation and Zeon (both of them had been in war for quite long time). Apparently the reason why they have such power over both faction because of an item called Laplace's Box, believes to be able to end the never ending war between Earth Federation and Zeon.

The main character, Banagher Link is a student over Anaheim Factory who lives alone since his mother died and doesn't know his father, felt presence that a girl, Audrey Burns the pro-antagonist in this OVA,  is in trouble.After he helped helped her escaped from life and death situation, Audrey told Banagher about a war which about to happen and she can stop this war by meeting the current head of Vist family thus, Banagher offer his help to get Audrey to Vist's Mansion. When both of them got to Vist Family's Mansion, Banagher got a feeling that he had been there before.

Why is Banagher knows the Vist Mansion before? Who is Audrey? What is inside of the Laplace Box? To answer them, you guys need to watch all the Gundam UC OVA.

Overall, this anime seems to have a promising complex story because the 1of 6 OVA started by a lot of mysteries which might be solved at the end of the long OVA. To be honest, in order to watch the Gundam UC all of you non-gundam fans might need to learn all the Universal Century gundam story because the main story of the Gundam UC is about how Anaheim Electronic fall. To learn this, just try to wiki gundam universal centuries and learn their time line. All of you, readers of this blog, need to pay attention why suddenly the manufacture of gundam and some of the mecha in Earth Federation shifted from Anaheim Electronic to SNRI(Strategic Naval Research Institute).

I hope all of you watch this mecha genre animation. I hope all of my blogs reader like my review.
See you all
