So I just finished Gundam Unicorn and I thought it was really good. I was given a guide on how to start watching the UC series as a whole and one of the cons for Unicorn is that the reception for the final episode varies. I actually enjoyed the last episode as much as the previous episodes so I'm wondering why that is. Is it because of the newtype time traveling shenanigans in the end or the false flag on Banana's fate?

I despise Unicorn, but sometimes I hate being a fuddy duddy and shitting on other people's parade with my OYW-supremacist autism.

Before this turns into part #292 of the 4th worst thread archetype on /m/, let me just put in that Full Frontal was the best Zeon leader in the entire series up until the last episode decided to make him retarded for no reason.
>>
>>15347065
I Really liked it.
I feel as if unicorn was where Tomino if he could go back in time and do it all again is where UC would have ended. I am not saying F91 and Crossbone weren't worthwhile stories or even potentially better than Unicorn. But Unicorn is clearly an ending, and I feel its a dam good one.
>>
>>15347065
Because of the mishandling the Box's reveal, lack of explanation for who/what Full Frontal was, and ending the episode on a cliffhanger.
>>
The novel was better purely because it lacked the Neo Zeong. It jumped the gun hard with it as well as the Unicorn handwaving suits away.
>>
why would you start at unicorn
>>
>>15347324
I didn't start at Unicorn.
>>15347231
Mineva said Frontal was a copy of Char with programming and shit so I assumed he was a clone like Marida although I do wish they made that more clear just to be sure.
>>
>>15347065
at least it wasn't as retarded as Stardust

Banana man throws his life away for some bitch who isn't really worth his time.

>>15347698
Romance is one of the things I didn't like about Unicorn but after watching UC works before it, I wasn't surprised at all. Although I will say it wasn't as bad Shiro and Aina or Uraki and Nina, so yay?
>>
>>15347353
Yeah but Marida is a surviving clone of Ple from ZZ. There's no explanation for where FF came from or what he's been doing all this time.
>>
>>15347770
He's actually a brainwashed Johnny Riden

Reasonable posts like this turn the tide of faggotry!

I loved the first few Unicorn OVA (shit my pants at the Destroy mode reveal, which I hadn't had spoiled).
Mostly hated the last 1/3 or so to the end. Too much glowey crystal energy shit.

I was psyched to see the Banshee, but by the end it didn't make much sense to me (trying to remember the story now)....

>>15347597
Unicorn was much more offensive than Stardust in how it was put together. Stardust is pure mecha porn with schadenfreude topping.

I enjoyed it too. But while I loved the time travel scene in the last episode, I thought the reveal and the ending were a bit disappointing, the banshee and the unicorn trying to stop the colony laser was also a bit too super robot for Gundam.
But I liked it overall.
Also Marida deserved a happy ending.

Being Marida is suffering

Her death was so retarded, I felt nothing. Force ghost sure didn't help.

Up till the final episode he was a regular politician made to look like Char to be a figurehead.

In the final episode because he looked like Char he became a vessel which accepted the literal spirit of Char and started to do what Char wanted.

>Char is retarded

this is 100% accurate

>I feel as if unicorn was where Tomino if he could go back in time and do it all again is where UC would have ended

I feel the complete opposite. I don't think there's any way Tomino at any point could have done anything like Unicorn. It's far too coherent and too idealistic as a show to be anything like what he does, which tends to be for better or for worse very eccentric.

It's clearly a show made by UC fanboys doing their best to make something that UC fanboys want. As a UC fanboy this is something that I personally welcome, but I see why others don't.

A lot of people seem to hate the time travel sequence and brush it off as fanservice. While I do believe it does pander to UC fanboys like myself I think it makes sense with what Amuro and Lalah said back in the 0079.

I like the OP1 it seems really whimsical

but the OP2 is pure sex, starts with electric guitar and just ramps up with GP01fb and then Gelgoogs and the massed ranks of the Zeon remnants with the backdrop of the colony
