Gundam goes green -
07-13-2009, 05:24 PM
Starting tomorrow, prominent Tokyo landmarks — with their fixed steel columns and beams — will likely be feeling a bit inadequate as a new, mobile player is set to rise up and illuminate the capital's skyline.
Near the Rainbow Bridge, on the manmade peninsula of Odaiba, a "life size" rendition of a Gundam robot will stand guard as a representative member of the influential "Mobile Suit Gundam" television series, which this year is celebrating its 30th anniversary. The 18-meter-high armored figure, replicated right down to its double-nozzle jet pack, sits as the centerpiece of the Green Tokyo Gundam Project, an event aimed at raising funds for the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's push for a more environmentally friendly future. Organizers are expecting 1.5 million visitors to arrive at Shinagawa Ward's Shiokaze Park through the end of August to view, free of charge, the 35-ton fabrication of fiberglass and steel up close and mingle at the surrounding booths and stalls selling robot models and T-shirts. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Green Tokyo Fundraising Campaign, an organization that will utilize the ¥800 million it hopes to collect by 2010 for such activities as the planting of roadside trees and the establishment of lawns within schools.

A "real" Gundam movie is a pretty good idea. I didn't think about that. I would definitely see it. 猿も木から落ちる

Just saw a scene from it and it looked like a piece of sh*t.
The color of the sala flower reveals the truth that is... To flourish is to fall. The proud do not endure.
Heaven or Hell, Let's Rock! Like a passing dream on a night in Spring. The mighty fall at last, to be no more than dust before the wind.
