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

Gundam 00 Specials

Today I will give review about this gundam 00 specials. For those who wonders what is this specials all about, I just need 1 word to explain it, RECAP!! I don't know what is in Bandai and Sunrise minds when they decided to create these 3 parts of specials. Lets cut to the chase shall we?

Specials Part I
Basically its a recap of all 25 episodes of Gundam 00 Season 1, they added some 30 seconds scene in some scene to makes thing clearer. The only things that added the specials is where the narrator, Reborn Almark, explain what in his thought at some scene(Ex. When Alejandro shoot Aeolia). I cannot gives you the recap about this specials because basically its already a recap.

Special part II
This is a recap of half of Gundam 00 Season 2, the specials ended with the destruction of the 1st Memento Mori. Like the 1st part of the 00 specials, there are added scene which helps to make things clearer and the thought of reborn almark over several scene, other than that specials it is just a recap. However, too bad they ended in just the destruction of the memento mori, it doesn't cover how celestial being ended up on earth.

Special part III
The last part of the 00 specials, also only a recap of the last half of 00 2nd season. To be honest with you all anime lovers, I am disappointed with the specials part III. Why?

First, we need to wait for it to be release which is 3 months after the 2 specials released.

Second, it's a recap.

Third, this is what made me upset the most, it look like made in a hustle and it is so bad!!! the way they put stephanie's songs, Friends, in a battle when setsuna+saji vs. Louis and when tieria ambush reborn. Then put songs which has effect to increase excitement and battle in a scene where sumeragi asking for forgiveness from billy. then put sad songs when all people in celestial being has a moral boost and louis recovers from being death.

Fourth, cutting battle scene between celestial being and innovado especially the battle scene between reborn gundam and 00 raiser, gundam vs gundam battles, which this series are lack of. The way they cut it off is worse than ever, suddenly 00 lose his legs or suddenly 00 lose its head.

This is the worst possible specials bandai ever made yet.

Overall, I would not recommend you, anime lovers, especially those who lives in a country with low bandwidth to download this specials specifically the part III. Since it is not worth the trouble and time!!! Sorry for being harsh and showing too much of emotion in my reviews, but watching this specials pissed me off.

I hope all anime lovers stick for another anime review from me.
