This is a limited-time fair and exhibit for fans of old-school mecha anime.
Note: The ending date is subject to change.
What to expect
Browse the mecha characters from the much-loved robot animes Mobile Suit Gundam, Aura Battler Dunbine, Armored Trooper Votoms, Heavy Metal L-Gaim, and King of the Braves GaoGaiGar in different forms.
The event’s main visuals were created by Koji Yokoi, known for his stylized art style and use of pop culture characters. You can find his designs on your choice of latte in the café, as well as in the merchandise area. Here you can purchase original t-shirts, hoodies, stickers, keychains, and more. If you spend ¥3,000 (tax included), you’ll receive a free art board with original illustrations (which you can only find at the store).
In addition, see art by Bkub Okawa, a manga artist known for his 4-panel comics — a special comic for this event will be unveiled at the fair.
