# Where to Watch Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn **Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn tells a finished war story through seven OVA chapters, each with a 59 minute runtime that feels closer to a film than a standard television episode. Hulu and Netflix carry the complete OVA. The extended format gives its mobile suit battles room to convey scale and physical force, while the drama examines how a new generation deals with conflicts it did not begin. Viewers already familiar with the Universal Century will get more from its political history, but the immediate pursuit of Laplace's Box supplies a clear plot for newcomers. Choose it if you want Action and Mecha spectacle with a serious interest in memory, responsibility and the damage inherited from earlier wars.** ## Where to Watch - [Hulu](https://www.hulu.com/mobile-suit-gundam-uc-unicorn) - [Netflix](http://www.netflix.com/title/80189183) Hulu and Netflix both carry all seven OVA episodes of Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn. There is no split between services, so either subscription provides the complete story from its opening chapter through its conclusion. ## Synopsis Banagher Links lives on the space colony Industrial 7 until a meeting with a mysterious stowaway pulls him into the struggle surrounding Laplace's Box. Competing forces believe this concealed secret could disrupt the existing balance, and Banagher becomes connected to the white Unicorn mobile suit as the contest closes around him. He must work out whom to trust while people shaped by older battles try to claim the Box or keep it hidden. Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn uses that pursuit to explore inherited loyalties and the pressure placed on people who had no part in creating the original conflict. ## Fast Facts - **Format:** OVA - **Episodes:** 7 - **Premiered:** 2010 - **Studio:** Sunrise - **Score:** 7.8 ## Watch Order Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn is set after the original Mobile Suit Gundam and Char's Counterattack in the Universal Century timeline.
