Before watching this anime it is mandatory to watch the previous UC titles namely Mobile Suit Gundam, Zeta, ZZ and Char's Counterattack in this order. This anime takes place 3 years after Char's Counterattack, it will assume that you know everything but for those who have watched the previous titles expect a kick of nostalgia. An animation flex in the first episode, what caught my attention was how detailed the fight was, it even included the UI and how the mobile suit was piloted. Don't forget about the superb soundtrack of Hiroyuki Sawano, the OP and ED as well as the Unicorn theme was chef's kiss 😘👌
