Kunio Okawara will be in town

Hey Gundam fans out there, Kunio Okawara (大河原 邦男) will be in Singapore this Saturday (November 22) at the Anime Festival Asia 08.

Okawara is a mechanical designer for Japanese animes, including the famous RX-78-2 Gundam. He's like, THE man for mecha designs. On a sidenote, my first Bandai Gundam model was the High Grade 1/144 RX-78 Gundam, that was when I was 8 years old.

The one-day ticket to the AFA08 is S$5. Anyone going?

  • ...haha.....the gundam design is quite a breakthrough of robort design in the 1980s.

    Gundam, in short, a samurai in robot.

    but I think that the 2 & 3 series of gundam is still ok, but for later designs are completely out of logic and somehow too unrealistic.

  • I guess there bound to be some slips in design along the way, but generally Gundam is a legacy.

    I bet when they produced the first Gundam, they wouldn't have imagine its growth till today.
