The expansion of the Gundam property on Funimation’s streaming service is bringing another series that Nozomi Entertainment handles distribution for with the Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn project. This show came much later in the sprawling series of releases that were produced over the years going to alternate timelines but was key as it was the one that brought us back to the Universal Century timeline, digging into the stories around the original work and expanding on those threads with more layered and detailed material. This series is available in its original Japanese language with English subtitles as well as the English language dub.
Availability for the series is set for viewers in the US, Canada, UK, and Ireland.
