Whats up guys,

In honor of the Mobile Suit Gundam UC (Unicorn) Blu-ray being released soon, we are going to launch the very first Mobile Suit Gundam!! This classic will be available for everyone in US, Canada, Europe (excluding select countries) and Russia.

If you don't know what Mobile Suit Gundam UC (Unicorn) is about, here's the low down:
"The year is U.C. 0096. Three years have passed since the end of the Second Neo Zeon War.
It is said that the Vist Foundation manipulates the Earth Federation and Anaheim Electronics from behind the scenes. Hoping to create a new world, the Foundation attempts to hand over a certain secret to the Neo Zeon remnants known as the Sleeves. This will mean the opening of Laplace's Box, which holds a great secret tied to the origins of the Universal Century.

The exchange between the Vist Foundation and the Sleeves is to take place at the manufacturing colony Industrial 7. This is the home of the student Banagher Links, who rescues a girl he sees falling through the colony's zero gravity area. The girl gives her name as Audrey Burne and says she wants to prevent a war, spurring Banagher to step into the conflict surrounding Laplace's Box—almost as if he is drawn in by his own bloodline.
Based on a story by author Harutoshi Fukui, the newest Gundam work dynamically unfolds against the backdrop of the Universal Century. It all begins with this first shocking episode."

For more about, including trailers, you can check it out here.

For those who are unfamiliar with the first Mobile Suit Gundam, here's a little synopsis so you can brush up on your anime history:
"U.C. 0079. The rebel space colonies of the Principality of Zeon launch a war of independence against the Earth Federation, using humanoid fighting vehicles called mobile suits to overwhelm the Federation Forces and conquer half of Earth's surface.

Months later, the Federation has finally developed its own prototype mobile suits at a remote space colony. But when the colony suffers a Zeon surprise attack, these new weapons fall into the hands of a motley crew of civilians and cadets, and fate places a youth named Amuro Ray at the controls of the white mobile suit Gundam..."

Hope everyone take the chance to watch this amazing classic and Mobile Suit Gundam UC!

Awesome news. I've seen the first 10 or so episodes and was impressed with how it stood the test of time. There is definitely a reason that it's essentially the Japanese Star Wars.

Oh my god, it's been a casual day and I casually came here to casually watch the usual, and in 0.68 second I find my mind overwhelmed with enough excitement to trigger an instantaneous asplosion!

I did not expect my desire for Gundam to be fulfilled anytime soon. This news is all too exciting. I do not know how to show my gratitude. I'll have to do something spontaneous. I know! I'll go and donate to the homeless! My pants! *removes pants and sets out to find a donation center*

nice been thinking about watching the beginnings of Gundam for a while but never got around to it but since its right here might as well check it out =D

Reason I don't go back and watch older anime is the quality is usually so crappy. With these updated looks I'll watch this for sure.

Awesome

Hell Yeah.

Yeah, Gundam 0079!

Fantastic series' so far I've watched all the way to Victory Gundam (+ Gundam Seed/00). I can't for Gundam Unicorn.
