Tokyo is a hyperreal city in a country with a very unique culture. An eye-popping urban landscape filled with pachinko parlours, video arcades, neon lights, shrines, and 12,369,000 souls.

Giant Gundam in Tokyo
Wednesday May 27th, 2009 | Posted in Anime & Manga, Tokyo Shock X-Change
This is almost too cool to even think about: Bandai Namco are building a LIFE-SIZE Gundam robot in Shiokaze park, Odaba to celebrate the 30th aniversary of the anime franchise! It stands at a huge 59 feet tall, emits light from various points on its body, moves its head, etc. They’re done working on the legs, and now the torso and arms are being added ready for the beginning of July. It will stand for two months before it’s taken down again, but then what are they going to do with it? The robot is the original RX-78-2 Gundam from the first anime series, aired in 1979.
