Wow, kind of cool, but an _extra_ $30 just to go up the elevator? A bit of a rip off, no? Great video though, Paolo! Thanks for showing us. I just saved $30. XD
Imagine a country that is arguably the most technologically developed in nearly all fields of science, medicine, engineering, infrastructure, entertainment and arts, and at the same time having a freaking moving Gundam. Honestly, I'm impressed.
And yet it's oddly backwards in other ways. They still largely use cash for daily purchases rather than credit cards/mobile payments (I haven't used cash for years). Documents are often required to be signed using a personal stamp rather than a written signature.
Good points but don’t overestimate and paint with a broad brush. Check out his video on their legal system. Archaic. They have a 98% conviction rate based on their practice of forcing confessions.
Its not a recognista that the Gundam Factory wants but it probably true to a good extent. With international travel down 90% or more it might not seem sensible to keep it longer. I hope they factor longer term goals for that Gundam BC it will bounce back if given a chance.
I just started building Gundam model kits. I'm a chef and I love working with my hands. Quarantine has unfortunately left me unemployed, but it's allowed me to pursue a hobby that I've been mulling over for years. I cannot wait to travel to Japan and visit this Gundam Factory (with Granddaddy Gundam RX-78-2) and the Unicorn Gundam too! Thank you for making these videos. They make my day and always give me new ideas for things I want to do when the borders open up and I can visit Japan for the very first time!
Thank you so much for this tour! It’s like a mini vacation and much needed during this tough time. Can’t wait for this situation to be over so i can see this for myself, till then thanks Paolo for showing us around Tokyo!
They can't do that in the open. It would jeopardize the secret that it's a fully functional Gundam... why tip them off to it when they can just remove the rear hop support and put a shield and rifle as a harsh surprise vs the enemy?
Lol! This is what I was thinking. They have other giant gundams around the country and it'd be hilarious if it was all a tourist front for real, functioning gundams.
Check out our video from the pre-opening event last year, we even had a chance to interview Kawahara-san, the lead engineer behind the design of this Gundam! - ua-cam.com/video/HT-c7Uzc2Dk/v-deo.html
I was so unbelievably happy when I heard this was a thing and scheduled an entire day trip to Yokohama for my trip that was supposed to happen this year... but due to COVID obv not happening. I am PRAYING that they do decide to keep it running at least for a year or two after Japan opens up to tourists again after the pandemic. I was sooooo upset when I realized that I might not actually be able to go here I LOVE GUNDAM! I want to experience this so much! I am soooo happy you did this Paolo since I only saw photos before, but videos help make me feel like I can get more of a taste of it. I'm crossing my fingers they extend its opening so I can come and see it!!!!
Japan has so many amazing attractions that are always very limited time events but I guess that's why they can rotate through so many things and always have something new.
Thanks for this video, Paolo! I miss Japan sooooo much! I was in Tokyo last year from Mar 1-7 2020 and I went to Odaiba to see the Unicorn Gundam and I was soooo amaze! I cant wait to go back to Japan and make sure that this place is on my list!!
Imagine in a few years they would already figure out how to make tis whole mecha work in real combat and there will also an academy to learn how to pilot it
I have a suggestion for a video. I kind of understand the different types of train service like express, local, etc. but could explain all the types of service and when the run. We just catch the next train.

@borray s America didn't cause a real estate crash in the early 90s Japan did that all themselves.
And yet it's oddly backwards in other ways. They still largely use cash for daily purchases rather than credit cards/mobile payments (I haven't used cash for years). Documents are often required to be signed using a personal stamp rather than a written signature.
And still use a fax machine in most offices.

If Covid didn't happen, this place would've been crowded by so many travelers.
Yeah, I'd be one of those many people also. Stupid corona virus pandemic might rob the chance for many of us to see thus Gundam...
@@Nelsea7190 I'm putting seeing giant gundam in a list of things that got ruined by Covid
Yeah, such a buzzkill. Although plane tickets I presume are way cheaper now, maybe easier to fly to Japan if they would allow it.

We can only hope they extend it a year or so... I hope they open their borders soon! I'll Fly there ASAP to see this before it goes
Imagining using a Gundam flying to japan 😊
@sweet tooth 99 while those terrorist have gundams too
The gundam can't fly
@sweet tooth 99 estupido nasa imagination ka tanga wala sa realidad ikaw nagsabi imagine ilalagay mo sa reality bobo
@@Redxyellow1 the rx-78-2 yes, but there are other gundams that can fly such as the zeta, zz, god gundam

That opening song was/is pretty dope.

Best gundam series imo

This is so cool! Thank you for showing this to us. I love the camerawork and shots.
Cool video as always !
Thank you. I'm glad you liked this video as well.
OMG! Thank you so much for featuring this, Paolo! 🤘👍❤️🇯🇵🤖
Of course!!
I'm so jealous, I would love to go there.
That was awesome, thanks for taking us along!

As a fan of Pablo's channel and Gunpla, this brings joy to my heart.
Imagine the gundam is actually japan secret weapon, that us why it is close in 2022
Secret weapon you say? I will alert, gato! to this news immediately
Lol! This is what I was thinking. They have other giant gundams around the country and it'd be hilarious if it was all a tourist front for real, functioning gundams.
I was thinking the same 😂 . It is not impossible for Japan right ? They can build everything that crosses their mind 😂
And the United States secret weapon it’s a Star Destroyer and the Millenium Falcon of galaxy’s edge
I totally love to explore Japan and it’s really interesting to see this.
always love your content Paulo! hope your fam is doing well and I'm glad to have run into you in person during my Japan trip in 2019 :)
Was waiting for this vlog. Thanks Paolo
WHAT!!! only 2022?!?! With Covid going on international fans will never see it!
hope the official will extend it
If they allow travelers, maybe it's fine since I presume traveling to Japan would be cheaper during this pandemix.
That was my thought as well. They HAVE to extend it. Also, that Gundam has to go somewhere after, can't build it for nothing.
Japan really takes it to cool extremes
Absolutely stunning thank you for showing us Paolo great job by the way
I was WAITING for this! THANK YOU!
This was my first robot anime to watch.
Thanks for the good activity.
Wow! I've been wanting you to make this video for such a long time, never thought you'd actually do it!
Amazing video Paolo - definitely want to see this when it's safe to travel again.
Loved the video!
Thank you. Glad you loved it!

I've seen a few videos of the rx78 but none of em showed him moving so hats off to you Paolo great job and amazing video!
That is soooo amazing. So close to having a real Gundam here.

Your videos have made me decide that when I'm a junior I want to be a foreign exchange student in Tokyo
YOOOO, this is so cool!!! 💖
Awesome tour, more of this please!
Thank you Paolo! I enjoy the tours especially since I had never been to Japan
Drinking Game: Take a shot whenever he says "Gundam"
