Not at all. Its based on the prototype models the Japanese National Defense Forces have been working on in recent years. They're trying to get support for more funding by building these display models. Public opinion on the subject has turned against them due to massive budget problems and technical delays.
what ?! are you really serious they´re building such things for defense purposes?they are really trying to do this, just like in an anime!!!???could you please explain more about this?
Sure, its the best defence against North Korean missiles! The gundam has thrusters to allow it to fly and then lock on to the missles and intercept it with its own missiles, based on the American missle defence technology. Just adapted for Japans new self defense robot.
little do they know... it is in fact a fully functional gundam ready for operation at a moments notice...
i envy you zimmerman, btw what is your heratage? are you american candadian? and how is your life in japan? i heard that there not that open to imegration
American. Been here just over four years. And no, Japan is not the most welcoming place. In most of the west its very easy to become part of a country. To "become" Canadian, American, British. No one can ever "become" Japanese. No matter how much you try, you'll always be an outsider. It gets to you sometimes.
hmm my friends uncle lives in Tokyo for buisness, "beautiful place to visit, but they dont want you too stay." not sure if that was true, but i did know they had very low imegration rates.
still sorry to hear that, but hell im sure you got quite a few friends. do you ever visit america for familly or friends?
Its a good place to visit or live for a short while, its a very difficult place to make a life for yourself. Its nearly impossible to become a Japanese citizen, or own your own business, or get a loan, or get a decent job within a Japanese company (unless you work for its Western office and get transfered).
I visit the US every now and then. I'll probably be back there for good next year.
I've read about this stuff before. I've always used to have this crazy idea when I was younger, that I'd become a manga artist and move to Japan to work there.
Then reality struck me. I've read about life in Japan as an outsider. Yeesh, it's harder than I'd thought it be. :S
I heard some news of a couple who got married dress as gundam characters in the same place. That is a very nice gundam 1:1 scale model. Hey josh do you know how long is that 18 feet tall gundam will stay in that place?
18 meters tall, which is 60 feet. It should be down by now. It was scheduled to come down on September 1st, but a typhoon blew in and delayed the take down.
thats badass

Imagine if the couple that got married under it, got into the gundam and just flew off at the end of the ceremony.
