Technically, anything that isn't animated isn't canon, according to Sunrise.

Naturally, the only people who actually give a shit about this statement is Sunrise and the plethora of shipping morons over in the Code Geass forum. ¬__¬'

The funny thing is that if ZZ isn't canon a pretty decent argument can be made that neither is Char's Counterattack.

True. Don't say that to certain people though.

I assume you're referring to the same certain people who probably are not yet aware that there are now aliens in Gundam?

Not yet aware or choose not to acknowledge?

I wouldn't be surprised if they weren't aware, but for UC elitists the news won't really affect them because "If it isn't UC it isn't canon!".

I love running into those people on YouTube.

Speaking of YouTube, and to get us slightly back on topic, here is the first 14 minutes of Episode 2 (dub ver.) for those who couldn't or wouldn't download it:

No problem. I just hope people don't start railing about sub vs. dub.

Also, here is the Eng. Dub version of the second trailer:

I love the way this topic is going. Indeed....just enjoy your Gundam and don't make superficial issues like sub v dub and U.C vs A.U.

Not trying to be an asshole but I just really wanted to point out that Seed was the first Gundam show with aliens. Flying whales in space. But back to your point about canon, it really doesn't bother me either and in fact a lot of side stories are a lot better than animated material such as Origin and Ecole Du Ciel. In my mind Origin does an even better job than the series and the movies and I myself consider it the canon of Gundam even though there are small contradictions such as the basics of Project V. I also started reading C.D.A and it actually contradicts with the series version of Gundam TV series, with Ma Quba being alive at the wrong time. I'm also unphased with the whole Black History thing in Turn A because I personally consider it to be a direct continuation of UC even though it's got direct references to other series such as G, I consider the rest just homages (but I'm open to the idea that they're all one world doesn't bother me at all). I guess ultimately I'm just trying to say that as a fan yourself you can always adjust your definition of canon a bit? There's no need to shove the whole "it's not canon cuz sunrise didnt' say so" down ppl's throat.

I also wonder why Sunrise made such a statement?

Actually the Turn X was also an extraterrestrial entity, so Turn A Gundam was first. Besides, I was mostly referring to living aliens actually animated. To use an anecdote: fossils and relics people don't get too upset about, but living dinosaurs would cause an uproar.

I agree completely. In fact the most satisfying but also most convoluted definition of canon I have seen is that of Star Wars, with the different "levels of canon". I haven't seen too many arguments about it as a result.

Probably because they hoped it would get people to shut up about it. It obviously didn't work.

So we know a few points to Ep2 from the traile here.

1) Unicorn was defeated by the Sinanju as we obviously see Banagher taken prisoner to the Sleeved's base.

2)For a prisoner, Banagher seems pretty free to wander around, we see him sharing a meal with a Sleeved family and Marina sharing some philosophy at a church. Possible a scheme by Frontal ? For what purpose.

3)It's not known whether the Unicorn was taken along with Banagher, but we assumed it is. So the Feds on a Nahal will obviously want their toy back. How will they do so when it's shown the Nahal has taken a beating from Frontal.

4)Now that Banagher had been exposed to the views of the supposed enemy, how do you think he will react ? I don't think he will obviously defect, but it will alter his approach to the Sleeved somewhat.

Feel free to speculate the turn of events while we have the time here.

My personal opinion is that Banagher surrendered in return for the Sleeves not destroying the ship his (remaining) friends are on and to prevent anyone else from dying.

Well considering that Banagher is the only one who can pilot the Unicorn.... Personally though I think it's probably because they believed he didn't present much of a threat without the Gundam, and it looks more like Marida is an escort to keep an eye on him.

Probably request reinforcements.

His opinion was already altered by his meeting "Audrey", but he doesn't really know she's a Sleeve yet (I don't think?). And he doesn't really seem like the type to go for the kill (yet).

That sound interesting. I wonder if the anime will stick to that formula.

Oh wow that's pretty cool. I didn't expect that, I really just thought it'd be a UC remix since this is suppose to be one (nothing wrong about it). I guess they have to do this given the whole purpose behind the Unicorn and the Laplace box. It needs to be more...neutral.

So you mean this actually happens....multiple times? No one stops him? Or can stop him?
