Otaku Crowds in Japan

Despite it’s the Summer Season in Japan, otakus not giving up. Comiket 76 just started yesterday and the crowds look scary, but I wouldn’t mind all the pushing and stuff just to attend Comiket myself.

A youtube clip from Fuji TV News show about the 1/1 Scale Gundam in Odaiba Park and Comiket.

The Code Geass Cosplayer in the clip is awesome. I know he must be sweating profusely inside, but he’s still cosplaying there… Wow O_O. Would you do that if you’re a cosplayer? Stand in the heat all day long …

Police in Kasai City near Kobe have arrested a 29-year-old factory worker named Yoshifumi Takabe on suspicion of burning down his own home on Sunday. The suspect reportedly doused his room …

Well he needs some love and attention too XD. Can’t blog about his 1/1 Gundam brother all the way! LOL.
From a comment over at muza-chan, it looks like:
That cute little guy was their mascot for the mini-Gundam Festa in Ikebukuro last summer. He was outside the inner doors to the Toyota Amlux building for a few days leading up to the festa, and …

Nice Gundam Legs

Bluesnow pointed this out to me a few days ago. Gundam legs!

Work has started on the “life-sized” Gundam. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the mecha anime/manga/toy/video game franchise, an 18-meter-tall (59-foot-tall) Gundam statue will be erected in Tokyo this July.
If only such events were held around the world, well.. Gundam is quite famous everywhere. Even anime fans here in Singapore who do not really support anime (tsk) do know of the mighty Gundams XD.
The only memorable gundam model I saw was a human-sized Gundam Exia in Singapore last year(excluding …
