Giant Gundam Gathers Gawking Geeks

http://therovingroninreport.blogspot.com/2009/06/giant-gundam-gathers-gawking...
Embrace your inner geek - in Tokyo a life-size Gundam almost 60 feet tall has been revealed in all its glory. Gundam for those not up on their anime nostalgia was an animated show which started in 1979 about a future where robots or mecha piloted by humans battle for supremacy or something like that (I never saw the show).

Tokyo's Gundam is currently in Odaiba. The big ceremony will be July 10th and it will remain throughout the summer. The Gundam model has 50 points of light, emits steams, and its head revolves left to right and up.

@ZionRocks

Why so mad?

You are a disgrace to the English language. He never claimed to know a lot about Gundam, other than the joke about it being real. You are the true disgrace. The gundam model in the video is RX-78-2 and was the first Gundam to ever appear. The 0-Gundam was from the series Mobile Suit Gundam 00, which is relatively new.

Double check your facts before being an ass.
