Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn RE:0096 (2016) is a anime and action series from TV Asahi. It has built a run of 22 episodes at roughly 25 minutes each. It premiered on April 3, 2016. Viewers rate it 7.9 out of 10. It is currently ended. It runs 1 season.
What Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn RE:0096 Is About
The manufacturing colony Industrial 7, which is still under construction, floats at Lagrange point 1.
A youth named Banagher Links, who grew up without knowing his father, meets a mysterious girl who has stowed away on a ship bound for Industrial 7. As the white mobile suit Unicorn undergoes repeated tests and becomes the subject of diverse speculations, the hands of time begin to move.
Banagher does not yet know that he has been caught up in the conflict surrounding Laplace’s Box.
What to Expect When You Watch
Episodes run about 25 minutes, which keeps the pace tight, the full run covers 22 episodes, spread across 1 season and it leans into its anime/action roots while leaving room for the quieter character beats.
Performance-wise the series leans on Kouki Uchiyama, Shuuichi Ikeda and Ayumi Fujimura to carry the emotional weight, with the rest of the ensemble filling out the world around them.
Cast and Creative Team
Kouki Uchiyama, Shuuichi Ikeda and Ayumi Fujimura lead the cast.
Key roles include Kouki Uchiyama as Banagher Links; Shuuichi Ikeda as Frontal, Full; Ayumi Fujimura as Zabi, Mineva Lao.
Why It Stands Out
Fans of anime, action and science-fiction have a clear reason to give this one a shot. It sits comfortably alongside TV Asahi’s other originals, a 7.9/10 audience score puts it in steady company and it commits to its premise instead of hedging between tones.
Released in 2016 and carried by TV Asahi with the series still ended, it lands hardest with anime and action viewers.
How Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn RE:0096 Compares
If Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn RE:0096 lands for you, the next stops are Death Note, Attack on Titan and Hunter x Hunter, which share its anime/action lean.
Each of those sits at a different point on the same spectrum, so they make a natural follow-up once you finish the run here.

The Bottom Line
