Japanese Man Burns Down House Over Gundam Models

[TheFacelessOne]

Glad to see we Americans aren't the only ones who overreact in the world!

Beams with Pride.

Oh...

Seriously though. That is horrible.

Now excuse me. I have a date with a lit match and running.

I'd be somewhat surprised if he didn't end up committing suicide in the future because of this event, but hopefully, he will recover. I know what it's like to fly into a rage over things you've built being destroyed, and well, I probably wouldn't commit suicide, I'm more likely smash a whole lot of stuff and cry for a while as I clean it up, and fucking slap whoever did that. That said, fecking Gundams

 

[Hazy]

Yeah, that's a totally reasonable reaction.

Right next to calling in an A-bomb, and unleashing some rabid panthers.

 

[John Funk]

As for your unrelated game, I see a very glaring lack of Wing Zero in that picture.

Bah, Wing.

 

[BakaSmurf]

...Wow. Just, wow. Seriously dude, that shit is crazy.

Okay, I know how difficult it can be to build some of those models, and how much they can cost, having bought and built a few myself, but burning down your house over having your Gundam models thrown away? Way to overreact dude.

 

[Mullahgrrl]

Wow, If I ever get mentioned in world wide press then I hope it is something like this!

 

[scnj]

Okay, so I'm 19 and I have an attic full of Star Wars toys. I admit I'd be upset if my mother threw them out, but I wouldn't go as far as burning my house down. I mean, overreaction or what?

 

[DAMG]

hmm...

At least the man didn't consume gasoline to be more like a robot, like this fucktard [http://www.shanghaidaily.com/sp/article/2009/200907/20090720/article_407995.htm].

Never ever live with your parents once you reach adulthood

Mums pull off stuff like this all the time.

I can understand him in a way. His mum destroyed something that was important to him, so he wanted to destroy something that was important to her.

 

[TsunamiWombat]

Wow I mean wow I never even watched Gundam but I doubt it's that great...is it?

There are a bunch of different series, some in the same universe, some in entirely different universes. Think of it kind of like Final Fantasy, in a way? Not all the stories are connected, but some are. Some of them are great, classic sci-fi series - to Japan what Star Wars is in the West.

Others, um. Not so much.

I sense your talking about G Gundam Funk, admit it. BEHOLD! THE EAST IS BURNING RED!

G Gundam is cheesy stupid fun.

I was talking more about SEED Destiny, I've heard V isn't great but haven't watched it, and I've never been much of a Wing fan myself. I've also heard early ZZ kind of sucks but it gets better later on.

only the first series really, the sequels get consecutively worse.

 

[Deleted]

My mother one day decided on a whim to trash my best yu-gi-oh cards, so I know how he feels. There's something in all mothers that make them want to destroy anything the child might like more then them. Or it was an accident.

 

[Straitjacketeering]

This is why I love the Japanese, total wackadooz.

 

[Wildrow12]

Well, this is certainly better than his first plan: dropping a space colony on his apartment.
