Gundam Unicorn 4 Release Date, Announced!

After the recent release of the third episode of Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn's third episode, The Ghost of Laplace via Playstation Network (its BluRay and DVD release is still in April), it is recently announced on a brochure (below) that the fourth episode, titled as At the Bottom of the Gravity Well will be released on Autumn 2011!

Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn is a six-part OVA series which is based on a series of novels of the same name. The series begins in U.C. 0001, at the very beginning of human space colonization, when a space colony called Laplace is destroyed. The main story takes place in UC 0096, three years after the events of Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack and 27 years before Gundam F91.

The story revolves around Banagher Links, a seemingly normal boy living and going to school in the space colonies. His life changes one day when he meets a girl named Audrey Burne, as the encounter brings him into contact with a new Gundam and its connections to an item called "Laplace's Box."

Based on the title, it seems that the fourth episode will cover the events that happened in the sixth volume of the novel. It is not sure if it will also cover the events that happened in the seventh volume, Black Unicorn.

Oguro Yuichiro, the chief editor of Anime Style has posted in his blog that the release of Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn BluRay & DVD Vol. 3 was postponed until April 7th. It was previously announced to be released on March 18th.

Bandai explained the reason that they have received unexpectedly large number of pre-orders and it has become difficult to secure the production lines. But don't worry Gundam fans, the special premiere at the theaters and the pay-streaming on PlayStaion Network will be available from March 5th as scheduled.

According to the official Gundam Unicorn Twitter account, the limited sales of the BluRay at the theaters has barely got the green light. The number of the discs to be sold at the theaters are still remained to be determined.
