Gundam Unicorn exists in the same "Universal Century" time line as the original Gundam produced by Sunrise. The serialized versions of Unicorn ended in the August 2009 issue of monthly magazine Shonen Ace and the final compiled volumes (#9 & #10) were released there after. In an earlier interview with author Harutoshi Fukui mentioned that the Anime would be a bit of a reconstruction as screenwriter Yasuyuki Muto's ideas had also been incorporated but the final product would remain faithful to the novel.
It's also been announced that there is a planned worldwide simultaneous release.
Bandai Visual confirmed that the anime will be released in six 50 minute OVA, direct to video, releases (WAY TO MILK IT BANDAI!). Expect to see the first Blu ray/DVD release in Spring 2010.
The official site for Gundam Unicorn launched not too long ago revealing with it the final voice cast:

English language translation is confirmed. Originally set for Winter 2009 the delay to Spring 2010 is likely due to the simultaneously worldwide release plan.
We speculate the simultaneous release will also hinder any would be fan translated to torrent downloading possible bootlegging peoples (We're just saying...).
