Awesome, the scene where Audrey rejects Banargher made me spat out my food.


Sorry, I get amused rather easily.

Did they change the date?

October 30th is when it comes out on PSN, November 15th is the Blu-ray release date.

Ah. I'm waiting for the blu-ray release.

That's painful. Guess they really want to promote the PSN.

Interview from Newtype regarding Ep 2 & future eps:

In a recent interview with one of the Gundam Unicorn OVA producers, Kosugi Naohiro, hints that the OVA series might conclude the story with an ending different from that of Harutoshi Fukui's novels. We are also treated to a number of other interesting tidbits, summarized below.

-Episode 2 is "plenty more" than the previous episode.
-The Unicorn vs. Kshatriya and Sinanju battle took a lot of work, and many cuts.
-The Sinanju's design is very hard to animate because of all the details, but they've tried to find the perfect balance between simplifying the design and retaining the suit's distinctive design.
-The 'lowest' points of Episode 2 are better than the 'highest' points of Episode 1.
-It was difficult to visually depict the Sinanju's speed as three times that of a normal suit, Kosugi said, because he was already 'overwhelmed by the speed of the Geara Zulu.' To better illustrate the Sinanju's speed, they are incorporating some never-before-seen animation techniques. The Sinanju moves very fast, in a 'wild' manner. "In terms of visual quality," Kosugi said. "It should look much better than the PV version." (Which you can view here).
-The animation effect for the Beam Magnum is especially nice. You will be impressed when you see it. "I was certainly surprised."
-Both Daguza (and the captain of the Nahel Argama, Otto) will play a prominent roles in the story.
-Most of Episode 2 will focus on the Full Frontal. Is the masked man really Char Aznable?
-The identity of Full Frontal is unknown, but the staff are working with him as if he were really Char--half of which, Kosugi says, is the result of Ikeda Shuichi's voice. Kosugi wants the audience to ask themselves if Full Frontal is a fake Char, or if, surprisingly, he is authentic.
-The Full Frontal in the OVA is not the same as the Full Frontal from the novels.
-Full Frontal and Banagher are "arch rivals."
-Bright Noa will appear in OVA Episode 4.

In short, fans who have read the manga should not expect the OVA story to follow exactly. What this means for the overall story remains to be seen.

Spoiler:

While some fans are already speculating that the Unicorn-as-God ending may be completely removed and reworked from the OVA, I have a feeling any changes to the plot (such as the inclusion of Bright Noa) will be relatively minor.

First I think that whoever translated it mistook "manga" for novel. The manga is currently being serialized and is of course different. As for the Bright Noa point, the person who read it must not realize that Bright appears in the novel and plays a pivotal role towards the end. I hope they don't change it too much... :/

Well people were concerned about Bright due to Suzuoka Hirotaka being, well, dead. I guess we can say for certain that he's getting a new VA

[Deacon Blues]

His voice actor has long since been replaced.

Awesome, Bright is one of my favourite characters.

What do you think it means 'The Full Frontal in the OVA is not the same as the Full Frontal from the novels.'? I'm not really up to speed with the novels.

If you really want to spoil yourself:

Spoiler for Major spoilers:

The Full Frontal in the novels is literally Char's clone, with Char's personality and memories retrieved from the Sazabi's psychoframe and implanted into him.

Oh I, knew that already, xD

So Full frontal in the movies could be Char himself? Or something else that I cannot comprehend.

[Sander RX]

The 'lowest' points of Episode 2 are better than the 'highest' points of Episode 1.

Why can't October 30 be tommorow?!

To be honest, I really doubt they would do that. I mean no matter what kind of detailed reason they give us like he's the long lost brother, he's Edward Mass from The Origin, he's Amuro diguised as Char. It really is just a yes or no question, and I really doubt it would be different from the novels.

The change is probably minimal, and the director just decided to say that to spark the interest of fans of the novel.

[Deacon Blues]

If memory serves me Edward Mass was just a cover name for them while they were in hiding. The Aznable name he stole from someone else (who was later killed in a shuttle accident)...

^ You are right, my memory failed me.

[JC...]

Yeah, probably just minor changes, though it'd be interesting if it was the real 'Char', (the one who was meant to have died), though I doubt they'd do that.
