14 Meter Tall Gundam Float and more Giant Gundam in Odaiba

This is a short follow-up to my Gundam vid. Here I talk about a 14 meter tall Gundam float made of Japanese paper - washi - that I saw at a festival in Aomori, the "Gundam Gap" in my Japanese Anime experience, my video game experience with Gundam: Federation vs. Zeon, and a little bit more about this Gundam's "secret" potential.

I don't know about Gundam-related stuff but there is a ninja village in the kansai area in Iga-Ueno and a samurai theme-park in Ise.

Check with the Kansai bloggers - kansaipj, busankevin, and renoldsair, and the like for Kansai fun.

@mapleAznboy

You do know Gundam rapes Knightmare in fight. Were screwed if they ever make Wing Zero and 00 Gundam. Thankfully the technology ain't at that level yet.
