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.

AMV of the Week

This weeks AMV comes from YouTuber ThreeMadCookies.  ThreeMadCookies takes the song “I’ll be There for You” performed by The Rembrandts and edits it to scenes from Library Wars.  The editing of the cut scenes is really clean and there is no jerkiness to the video.  The song fits well with the edited scenes and follows the characters Iku Kasahara and Atsushi Dojo well.  If one has read or watched Library Wars you will know that this song fits the show well and that ThreeMadCookies did a great job in selecting it for this AMV.  You can find the video on YouTube by looking under “Library Wars – I’ll be there for you” and you can check it out below.

New Code Geass!

Bandai Namco announced a new Code Geass project, Code Geass: Akito the Exiled.  Since Code Geass was popular in the U.S., I would expect this title to eventually be available in the North American market towards the end of 2012 or beginning of 2013.  Thanks to AnimeNews Network and YouTuber u073024 for the following promotional clip.
