The bandai channel does not work for anyone living outside Japan.
Anyways here's a link for the 7 min video for those using Nico. http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm9692308 |

It will be subbed and upload on Youtube soon enough.
Meanwhile allow me to give a brife summary and comparsion to the novel. The animated version shorten the Laplace Incident to the first minutes and we didn't get a glimsp into Siam's background and his rise to powers like it does in the novel. Nor did we see his illusion into the future of Operation British in the aftermath of the Inicident with the Zakus and Colony drop. The viewers are transported into the far future and see an old Siam in bed with nothing to indicate the cryosleep he is experiencing. Amazing how they took an hour's worth of text and condense it into a 3-minute animation. Next up, we are introduce to the fast paced battle between the Jegans and Kshatriya. It's a loyal retelling of the passage in the book here and nothing worth menioning now. |

It does make you wonder when the manga is supposed to diverge from the anime/novel... Though I guess there is plenty of it left.

I want them to fill in the gaps in regards to Siam's past and his expoilts during the early years of the UC era later during the series.
Just seeing him jumping straight as a young terrorist responsible for the Laplace Incident to being an old power broker supposedly dying in bed will not make much sense to those unfamiliar with the novels |

One thing I'm confused about is the Blu-ray release. I work at an entertainment store and it's not even listed as one of our upcoming releases. Is it just an Amazon exclusive or will it be in general video entertainment stores too?

Not really, especially since the scene is so early in the OVA. I am unfamiliar with the novels but just from the first 7 minutes I can get that he's characterized as "this is the old guy who knows and experienced a lot and we will found out more later, probably together with the main character". Unless they do that scene and later NOT fill in about his past, of course. But at this point that scene is not confusing.

Perhaps I might have been spoiled by the source material and is demanding Sunrise to be faithful scene-byscene. |

A 15 minutes wall-of-text-and-dreams prologue would be needlessly weary. Besides, since you mentioned that the only thing missing was his personal story, it could always be narrated/mentioned somewhere else in the show by someone in a more compact manner if needs arise how-and-why he became what he was.

Wow the first 7 minutes of Gundam Unicorn are really good! It was pretty intense!
Too bad the opening is so inaudible . When I see the title "GUNDAM UNICORN" with the background music, it was incredible! The soundtrack seems really good!

As high as my expectations for this are the sneak preview makes it look as if they are going to be readily met. Those 8 minutes felt more like a couple as they went by and the way it cut out right in the middle of the fire fight was kind of cold, but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't the perfect point if you want to leave people clamoring for more.
