Having never read the novels... episode 5 was amazing! The best so far for sure. I'm glad they decided to extend it. If this is the result.. man they should have (like others said) made it an 8 episode(or longer ) ova. Did the top brass just not realize what a potential goldmine they were sitting on until it was too late?

That's probably giving him a little too much credit - if the UC OVA didn't sell like hotcakes in all areas I would think that no matter how hard he intervened it wouldn't make a lick of difference to the episode count.

Still, I acknowledge the fact that UC must have sold well enough for the executives to grant Fukui an extra episode to wrap things up here. |

And no, I'm not expecting "faithful" adaptations. I am expecting good storytelling unlike Eps 4 who feels too rushed and too slow at some parts. And this comes from a non Novel reader .

I don't know..... Given how it has been stated that the anime and novels can be different but still all canon, is it a bad thing for the anime to not be that faithful to the novels as long as the story itself is coherent?
BTW, I would like to know how the anime is different from the novels. |

There can be multiple canons. Look at Evangelion, it has an anime/movie and the new age Movies. Both are canon and go out of their way to ignore the others events, this way old age fans wont get angry about their Evangelion being retcon'd and the new age guys wont have to watch the old series.
Consider them alternate universes or something. |

Man I really wish I could see this episode. My computer had a crash (again god damn it), so now I'm forced to internet browse through my PS3. The only streaming site I had success with, is animeultima. The only video that works for Unicorn ep 5, is incredibly fucked up. The video is like....really really fucking slow, so everything sounds distorted and awful.
