Pretty good, I'd say it was as good as episode 1 anyway.

Feels forever since there has been an anime with music as good as this ;(

Unicorn's laser rifle sound is so ridiculously good ;(

Agreed. The music is top-notch. Hell, everything about Unicorn is top-notch.

Guarantee I'm going to screw up this post? Yeah.
Enjoying this a lot so far. The wait between episodes sucks hard though. =(

Nevermind -just watched it. Very cool!

I wish I knew more about the UC timeline though .. I'm ashamed to admit I was introduced to Gundam via Gundam Wing, and all the subsequent series like Seed, 00, etc.

I never was able to watch the UC series and I feel left out .. but so far Unicorn has the best story and unbelievably awesome fight scenes.

I was the same (been introduced to Gundam by SEED, then 00), but finally found the time to watch 0079, Zeta, 0083, 8th MS Team, War in the pocket and ZZ this year :D I'm taking a short break right now before chaining CCA, UC1 and UC2.

Rented UC2 offa the PSN the other day an it was all done downloading today so I gave it a watch an thought it was pretty great! Nice battles, dat reload animation, talky-talky, and all the rest! Audrey just wants to be put out of her misery doesn't she ;_;?


Sucks they're cheaping out with Turn A cause it means other series'll be sub-only like ZZ if they get around to it. No dub no sale!

Ugh, it's still going to be about 3 weeks until I get to see UC 2. I've been trying to avoid spoilers and stuff plus I didn't even watch any of the promo videos for it yet. I want to go in fresh!

It's sub only, or nothing at all. They aren't going to waste money on extra stuff when it's going to sell poorly anyways.

Can someone help me understand some of the UC Gundam tech found in Unicorn?

1. In this episode right before Kshatriya withdraws from fighting Unicorn at the beginning it fires some chest-sphere energy ball thing. What weapon was that? According to Gundam Wiki, it has 12 Mega Particle Cannons .. is that what this was? A focused attacked of all the 12 MPC's?

2. What encompasses Banagher when NT-D mode is unlocked when fighting Full Frontal? It looked like some anti-grav field or something?

3. Why didn't the NT-D system automatically engage as soon as Unicorn launched to fight Full Frontal? I thought it does it automatically when going up against a Newtype (assuming FF is a Newtype here).

4. Why couldn't Unicorn in Destroy Mode automatically take control of Kshatriya's funnels .. I thought that was one of Unicorns abilities? Is it because Banagher is still a novice and doesn't know how to do that? But that didn't seem to be the case when Unicorn first deflected all of Kshatriya's funnels at the end of Episode 1.

5. The I-Field in the shield basically can deflect all beam weaponry? There's no limiter or anything?

I think so.

It just looked like a new cockpit interface to me. The suit is supposed to protect Banagher's body from G-forces.

(also, they're in space...there is no gravity :p)

I'm going to assume both of these have to do with the pilot, and aren't things the Unicorn can automatically do on its own, but I don't know for sure.

It protects against beam weapons, but not physical attacks.

this is news to me

also acceleration / change of direction would still put forces on the body

Has anyone else seen the Toys R Us ads that have been running on American TV the last week or so? They feature Geoffrey and Santa driving around a bunch of toys in a dune buggy. The campaign focuses on Toy Story, Barbie, etc., but strangely enough, the RX-78 Gundam makes an appearance in at least two of the ads. It seems really strange to me that a Gundam would be in a commercial targeting American children. Are they airing the same commercial in Japan for Toys R Us or something?

Edit: I'm half asleep and on my phone but somebody did not know there is no gravity in space?

Because they are both in an orbit. Still doesn't mean there is gravity in SPACE.

:lol :lol :lol

You do understand that they're in orbit because of gravitational forces right? Think about it, is there a specific boundary where earth's gravity suddenly disappears as you travel into space?

And you're missing the part where I said in space. I understand what you're saying, it's true but in the emptiness of space there is no mass. I'm talking actually space, not planets, not stars or the areas that they orbit.


Edit: Here is how one of my astronomy teachers taught it: In actual space there is nothing, but there is gravity everywhere. Then he went on a rant about how everything gives off an gravitational pull. Yet, if there was only space there would be none because of the lack of mass. I think you guys misunderstood what I was getting at.
