Unico is a little unicorn whose only purpose is to make people happy. For some reason this angers the Gods, who banish him forever to the Hill of Oblivion. They order the West Wind to take him there, but she takes pity on Unico and tries to hide him in a remote corner of the universe. Seemingly alone, Unico finds a devil named Beezle ruling over a crumbling, desolate land. He saves Beezle from drowning and makes a friend for life, revitalizing the land. This gets the attention of the Gods and the West Wind must take Unico away and hide him in another place. This time he befriends a cat who really wants to be a witch, so of course Unico transforms her into one. However, she falls prey to to an evil Baron who lures her to his castle and tries to seduce her! This time Unico has to transform into his larger winged horse version to defeat a monster and save the girl. Afterwards, the West Wind arrives once again to bring him to his next adventure. Colorful, satisfying anime with a dark storyline to counterbalance any cloying cuteness.
