Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn RE:0096
Television recompilation of the Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn OVA series.
Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn RE:0096 (機動戦士ガンダムUC RE:0096, Kidō Senshi Gandamu Yunikōn Ri Daburu Ō Nainti Shikkusu) is a 22-episode television anime series created by Sunrise that aired from 3 April to 11 September 2016. The series is a recompilation of the seven-episode Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn original video animation with new opening and ending sequences, additional narration, and some new animated footage.
Directed by Kazuhiro Furuhashi with music by Hiroyuki Sawano, RE:0096 marked the first Gundam series to air on TV Asahi since After War Gundam X ended in 1996. The series was broadcast in the Sunday 7:00 AM time slot, replacing Brave Beats, and was simultaneously streamed internationally on various platforms.
The “RE:0096” title refers to both the “recompilation” nature of the series and the Universal Century year 0096 in which the story takes place. The television format allowed the story to reach a broader audience whilst introducing new viewers to the Universal Century timeline through weekly broadcast rather than the premium OVA format.
