I was recently in Japan to see and feel the life size Gundam in commemoration of the 30th anniversary of the series. I had no idea of HOW VERY popular it was there in Japan! I knew it was popular, but nothing to what I imagined!
I definitely feel lucky to have seen it in Odaiba before the end of the exhibit (8/31); however, this link has showed me something scary about fanatics: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2009-08-10/man-arrested-for-burning-down-home-over-gundam-models
Seriously? Sad how this happened ... what drives someone to attempt such a feat?
