[Evilsanta]

Well that sucks. I hope it is ok and the people that are affected to.

There is no God. Only Gundam (c)Setsuna F Seiei

Bad news folks.

If the earthquake, tsunami, radition leaks, and the following large casualty's weren't enough, it seems a national icon and international geek momument was one of them:

I don't know if this is real, but if it is, I hope they repair it.

My thoughts and best wishes go out to all in japan.

I'm not going to lie though, I am more concerned with the various game and anime devolpers (anyone know if toriyama is OK?) there than most others, I am a human being, we all have biases.


EDIT:

Seems that pic was from a few years back when it was relocated.

Still think it's not in good shape.

If the earthquake can do that much damage to japan, with all of it designed to withstand earthquakes, i'd imagine that the statue wouldn't make it.

OH NOEZ THE WORLD IS GOING TO END FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU- OMG THE GUNDAM IS BROKEN BAD NEWS INDEED

Not really, I don't really care at all. Compared to damage to other crap and deaths, this is nothing. I don't see why I should care about a life-sized Gundam is destroyed.

That's better.

 

[The Wykydtron]

Well now they can replace it with a giant stone Kamina statue!

...

What? It could be a memorial!

 

[Mr Somewhere]

They've far worse problems at the moment, still can't help but feel a tad upset about it.
Any word of the Tetsujin statue?

 

[Konaerix]

As sad as this might be, I'm more concered about the people suffering over there then to care about the Gundam statue.
Stay strong Japan. I pray for your recovery.

 

[Tanis]

The problem is, it's a Gundam, not a Char Custom.

Which, as we all know, that would have made it three times stronger, faster, more quake resistant, and all around three times more better.

I know I'm not up to date on the yen-to-dollar exchange rate, but isn't a million yen akin to something along the lines of 10K?

I think Family Guy did this joke once...
