I have posted before about the Diver City Tokyo Plaza, but I wanted to do so again.  If you happen to be traveling to Tokyo and love the Gundam franchise Diver City Tokyo Plaza is a stop you will definitely want to visit.  If you can’t Ken Ikuhara-Gross has posted several pictures and brief history of the site on animenewsnetwork.com.  Above are three of the images he posted in his article.  Their are several more and will make you want to make a trip to see the Plaza.  On the outside of the Plaza is a life size RX-78-2 Gundam (which is the first picture above) and in the plaza itself is a cafe and memorabilia shop.  The 7th floor houses two museums, another gift shop and a Strict-G clothing store.  Make the jump over to AnimeNews Network to view all of the other cool photos and thanks to Ken for sharing: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2016-03-04/gundam-front-the-ultimate-tour/.99376

Gundam That’s Big

If any of your Gundam fan’s have had discussions on how big a Gundam would be this answers their questions.  A life size Gundam that was on display at Odaiba is now being rebuilt at Diver City Tokyo at a complex being built on the island Mitsui Fudosan.  The video below by YouTuber darwinfish105 lets one see how large this statue is with all of the people passing by and taking pictures.  I loved the shots that have the Ferris wheel in the background.  The building will have its grand opening on April 19. Thanks to AnimeNews Network for finding this video.
