Gundam. A metaseries of Japanese anime. And the term that started the whole real robot genre, has reached it’s 30th Anniversary. While I can’t say that my first Gundam was the First Gundam a.k.a Gundam 0079 (My first was Gundam Wing Endless Waltz), I enjoyed the series a lot, mainly because of the mechas. Story is a different matter – because not ALL of them are good. Yes, some were terrible, yes I’m looking at you here Gundam Seed Destiny.

But when I heard of this 18.2m (what it’s claimed to be, correct me if I’m wrong) Gundam being  built by the Japanese to celebrate it’s 30th anniversary in a LIFESIZED form, that obviously means a trip to Shiokaze Park (located at Odaiba, Tokyo) is guaranteed.

And when I got there, I can understand that since it was a Sunday, there will be a lot of people, yes. But that place is none other than a Gundam version of BON ODORI (if you’re Malaysian you’ll get what I mean) – that means the place will be awfully smokey thanks to the BBQ vendors around the place…and dusty, too.

Back Entrance

How I wish I can actually take a ride on that Gundam, but unfortunately it has no cockpit. Full of nothing but concretes and metal inside it’s structure, but still cool nonetheless. It’s amazing if you actually see through it with your own eyes, get near it, touch it’s structure, which I did : Sturdy and feels like a real thing (now only if we have the real Gundanium Alloy/Lunar Titanium Alloy for this…)  with the well done decals as well.

And what’s pretty amazing was the design. Based by Okawara with the touches done by someone else, but it does feel like Katoki’s design. Which makes the Gundam design itself pleasant to the eyes. I personally liked the design, though holding no beam rifle was a little too bad.

I blame myself for not charging my handphone so the battery died halfway during picture takings, and therefore I’ll be making a second trip of it, soon enough.

Speaking of which, that reminds me – I need to put the MG Exia into my shopping list too.

OF COURSE THE ABOVE TITLE DOESN’T HOLD TRUE…

But, Setsuna being married (note : married, not GOING TO MARRY), is true.  Earlier today, a news broke out that, along his second single that is going to be released pretty soon this month, he also announced that he is no longer single, and is going to be a father, as well.

I was shocked, but at the same time, it’s a good thing that he found his true love and hopefully he can live happily ever after. All the blessings and happiness to him!

IT’S JUST A FANART OF BOTH OF THEM DOZZING OFF TOGETHER, OKAY. PERFECTLY INNOCENT, OKAY?

Which, I have no idea what it means, someone can gimme a clue about it?

When it comes to Sunday, IT, HAS, TO, BE GUNDAM 00, ISN’T IT? COMMERICALS? WHAT COMMERICIALS?
