We spend a day straining our necks and filling our anime-loving hearts to bursting staring up at the brand-new, full-size Unicorn Gundam statue.
Gundam (Page 7)
From nearly 20 meters above the ground, the Unicorn Gundam looks out over Tokyo.
Fans have been shooting photos and videos of the 19.7-meter (64.6-foot) Unicorn Gundam, and it looks incredible.
Labor of love makes the latest Gundam mecha look like something from anime’s heady hand-drawn peak.
We cannot say with 100 percent certainty that a giant robot did not intervene at the last minute.
The significance of the event is being felt by everyone, even the workers who stopped to pose with photos of the mecha’s gigantic detached body parts.
They’re called “mobile suits,” and snowboarding is a form of mobility, after all.
Of course making a giant robot suit is no easy task, but Hajime Research Institute is 22 percent there.
A fresh take on old-school Pocket Monsters and mobile suits.
Designs inspired by multiple series, including A War in the Pocket, are causing a stir online.
It’s like the saying goes: When life hands you a lobster, make a Psycommu-system-equipped mobile suit with it.
