So many reasons why this is a bad idea. First of all, it's prohibitively expensive to build even a prototype of modern military hardware, let alone a 70 foot bipedal mech. Second, that's gonna be an easy target in this era of drone strikes and offshore guided missiles. Third, this has no practical use whatsoever. Producing enough of these things to be a viable combat operations force would bankrupt any country, let alone one that's already in an economic tailspin. Add in the costs of maintenance, reloading and refueling, and it's enough to make your citizens why you ever took their giant action figures out of the box. Leaving them sitting on standby for personal defense against...jihadist kaiju, I dunno...that's gonna mean that your trillion dollar project becomes obsolete in a hurry with no return on your investment.
If the otaku vote is really that powerful (I doubt it), and you desperately need their approval, tell them that you'll petition for their right to marry fictional characters. You're just one life pillow away from discounted health insurance!
