Anime Icon Gundam RX-78-2 built in free-standing life size scale for the 30th anniversary of Bandai has now been completed. The said Gundam is stationed at Odaiba, Tokyo, Japan. The behemoth will stand 18 meters tall free from balancing support.

The Gundam is scheduled for public viewing this July 11 until August 31st, what is next is sure unkown, but perhaps it should not be dismantled and be kept for more viewing pleasures by otakus and the likes.

This comprehensive gallery shows the iconic mecha in magnificent detail.

Thanks to Pyunmari , whose blog caters such Moe Passion and delivers us the pure “awesome”.

More information can be found at the Gundam 30th anniversary website.

And also Thanks to Sankaku Complex for the update.

Former first lady Imelda Marcos has become amongst 11 of the  “greediest people of all time” worldwide by Newsweek magazine.

Marcos “saw it as her duty to provide ‘some kind of light, a star’ for the impoverished Filipino people over whom her husband presided.“; “So she took $5 million shopping sprees to New York and Rome, reportedly owned the world’s largest collections of gems and 3,000 pairs of shoes,”  according to Newsweek.

The term “Imeldific” came from her luxrious lifestyle that the word would mean “ostentatiously extravagant.”

Would it be better if she had been collecting anime figures and manga  instead of these shoes? We would have had the largest meseum of it and it could have been an Otaku’s ultimate dream…

(ﾉゝ∀･)~キラ☆ – by Ranka Lee of macross Frontier

Yes, you’ve seen this before, from anime to real people, but wth is that? It’s the prominent Kira(twinkle) pose, by Ranka Lee.

But what does it mean? We have seen the V-sign for decades, most of us think that it means peace or victory. Some think it’s offensive, and some just doesn’t know what it is. Have you ever seen someone that whenever there’s gonna be a picture taking, they always do a V-sign? And thinking that, they’re just doing that to look Kawaii… Yep, I think that’s a trend. (ﾉゝ∀･)~Kira, just like the V-sign, it’s a way to look ultra Kawaii (if it fits you XD). But did you know that in the anime, the Kira pose became the quintessence of peace? The hand gesture that stopped the Interplanetary war! So much from explaining, without further delays, here’s the gallery…

The episode where it came from…
