#GundamUnicorn ep4: Remember the Titans! Banagher has earned many BRO points this episode. #anime 

*fist pump*

I was a little bit lost at first, it has been awhile since I made my
way through the third episode. And this bit of the OVA accomplished
quite a bit in the one hour it had to work. I got to see some nice
One Year War-esque carnage along with the grandness and beefiness of
CCA era mobile suits. The beginning attack on Dakar was just a teaser
apparently for the carnage that was the last 15 - 20 minutes.

The stuff in between was full of very nice character development and
reflection. Banagher getting dragged by the captain through the
desert was pretty ridiculous, and full of a ridiculous amount of
weeping, but it wasn't intolerable. Mineva's conversation with the
old bar keep was nice, too. A little too pointless for me at times.
But hey, I've been immersed in this universe for a long time. I
suppose someone benefitted from it. And I was glad to see the
"princess" relax for a little bit. She seemed to let down her guard a
bit in there. And it was impressive to see her put it back up when
her pursuers came for her.

As for the episode ending battle... whew! I couldn't be more happier
with this doomed endeavor! Seeing all those old Zeon mobile suits hop
up and kick ass for the first time in years felt good. What felt even
better was seeing Banagher kick that Zeon captain's ass! Where the
hell did that come from?! I've seen punk pilots try to put up a fight
before, but that was so far beyond, "even my own father didn't hit
me", that it blew my mind. And to top it off, he convinced the whole
bridge crew to take his side as well.

Only Gundam.

I knew when I saw Loni she was a doomed pilot. Whether Tomino is
directing or not, some things are just absolute. A revenge driven,
hateful giant mobile armor pilot is doomed. If that pilot is female
it's even worse. The high concentrations of melanin in her skin don't
help the situation either. The sad part is that she had a chance to
pull back from the edge more than once. Instead she still gets blown
away so completely that there won't even be a corpse (no hamburger for
you!), and the battle ended up being nothing more than a complete
failure that essentially wiped out the last of Zeon resistance
lingering on Earth.

And to tip things off even further into the island of despair and
chaos, we see a dark, Titan colored Gundam Unicorn. That and the
other unanswered questions like: what's gonna happen to Ple/Puru
Twelve? Is the rift between Banagher and Riddhe gonna turn into a
rivalry? Is Angelo ever gonna take that stick out of his ass and stop
masturbating to Full Frontal nudity?

And most importantly, who the hell was that Feddie pilot in that
Byalant Custom?! He kicked ass! Perhaps a cousin of Jerid Messa?
Regardless, this is just proving itself to be a stellar series. No
offense to Gundam AGE, but this is my favorite Gundam series right
now.
