statues
We travel into the depths of suburbia in search of Moai and ancient Pakistani Priest Kings.
Even in the biggest otaku mecca in the world, there’s a limit to how big the anime salutes are.
It’s so massive that from certain angles it looks like Japan is under attack by a giant alien life-form.
Facility where Grape-kun spent his days with his anime crush says it has no plans for a statue, hasn’t given permission for an installation.
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.
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.
The original Gundam statue is no more, but dry your tears, anime fans, because a new mecha is on the way.
This is either the beginning to a really good Miyazaki film or a really bad Japanese horror film.
