History Trivia / MobileSuitGundamUnicorn

*** Eileen Stevens voices Beltorchika Irma instead of Onalea Gilbertson.

** Due to the English dub being recorded at Creator/NYAVPost instead of Creator/TheOceanGroup, none of the original Canadian cast from the original ''Gundam'' series returned to reprise their roles.

** The US release of ''Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn'' was handled by Creator/BandaiEntertainment... until the company decided to entirely cease production. Fortunately, Creator/{{Sunrise}} announced that they were now turning to other distributors to release their formerly Bandai-licensed shows. ''Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn'' was the first show to be rescued by another distributer, specifically Creator/NozomiEntertainment.

* TheOtherDarrin: Apparently three:
** Because of Creator/HirotakaSuzuoki's death from lung cancer in 2006, this OVA marks the first time Bright Noa is voiced by Creator/KenNarita.
** Creator/YukoKaida (sort of) as [=Marida/Ple Twelve=], to Creator/ChiekoHonda (at least for Episode 7, since the latter was still alive when the first six episodes aired)
** In the English dub, Creator/PatrickSeitz took over the role of Flaste Schole from Creator/SeanSchemmel halfway through the series. Interestingly, it's [[Manga/OnePiece not the first time]] Seitz has taken over a role Schemmel once voiced.

** Creator/KenNarita as Bright Noa, replacing Creator/HirotakaSuzuoki, who tragically died of lung cancer in 2006.
** Creator/YukoKaida (sort of) as [=Marida/Ple Twelve=], to Creator/ChiekoHonda (at least for Episode 7, since the latter was still alive when the first six episodes aired; see the WhatTheHellCastingAgency on the [[YMMV/MobileSuitGundamUnicorn YMMV Page]] for details.)

** Hill Dawson is voiced by Hideyuki Umezu, who previously appeared as Nelmarsen in ''ZZ Gundam''.

* YouSoundFamiliar: Creator/IchiroNagai, who narrated the original ''Mobile Suit Gundam'', appears in ''Unicorn'' as the voice of Syam Vist.

* ChannelHop: Zig-zagged since this is the first Gundam series to air on Creator/TVAsahi since ''Anime/AfterWarGundamX'', and mind you TV Asahi was Gundam's original home from 1979 to 1996

** Apparently averted with the late Creator/IchiroNagai as the voice of Syam Vist, as he was still credited in Episode 7 for the said role months after his passing.

** In the English dub, Creator/PatrickSeitz took over the role of Flaste Schole from Creator/SeanSchemmel halfway through the series.

* ScrewedByTheLawyers: A relatively minor example in the Zeta Plus garrison at Cheyenne Mountain. They get barely any screentime before being effortlessly dispatched by the Tristars Team due to Sunrise not wanting to pay too much in royalties to Model Graphix magazine, which partly owns the rights to ''Literature/GundamSentinel''.

** Creator/YuriLowenthal and TaraPlatt. How obvious can you get.

** In the English Dub, Riddhe's [=VA=] YuriLowenthal also played [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Simon]] and [[CodeGeass Suzaku Kuururugi]] who, like Riddhe, had at least one MementoMacGuffin that identify them. Unlike the other two though (who at least carries one up until the end), [[spoiler:he treats his [[ItsAllJunk like junk]] at the end of Episode 5, as he approaches the abandoned Unicorn Banshee]].
