two examples of exceptional Japanese Anime Robo, in Reality


Tokyo’s Mobile Suit Gundam 30th anniversary life-size RX-78 Gundam statue.
The commemoration has passed, but the legendary statue will make its triumphant return this upcoming summer.



Following in Tokyo’s footsteps, the Japanese city of Kobe has erected a mecha defender of its own, the veteran bot Gigantor.
It stands at 59.06 feet tall — narrowly defeating Tokyo’s 59-foot-tall Gundam statue.
