Unicorns Make Great Mecha Too

Man this is such a waste being only a novel series, I can't believe that Bandai and Sunrise are marketing Gundam 00 like it's the next coming and here we have such an awesome product waiting to be snatched up by all of us Gundam -heads. In the video the Unicorn looks somewhat like EVA-01, perhaps to invoke some of that mojo from the impending live-action movie coming out but the design hasn't been this good in MS Gundam since well before Turn A popped up on the radar. Hajime Katoki is designing all of the MS in this novel and it shows, the Shinanju evokes the earlier Sazabi design yet it also has a sleek new chasis. Very freakin' cool. If you don't know who Katoki is, well he's the man responsible for many of the best Gundam designs we've seen over the years. For those who don't follow Gundam, he did do a lot of mech related products including Virtual-On and he's always produced some very awesome concepts. If Sunrise is smart, at least a 13 part OVA series is mandatory! ^______^



And finally do you hear that in the background? While watching the video, as soon as the Unicorn launches did you notice? Mikuru begins singing and it sort of goes with the video, how crazy is that!? This year is a decent year for Gunpla it seems after quite a few lately that have been less than stellar. Maybe Bandai will finally release the long rumored/wanted Hygog?
