Japan's Liberal Democratic Party will hold a 12 hour broadcast on Nico Nico Live to discuss the formation of a real life Gundam fighter robot.
2 members from the party, Masaaki Taira and Hideki Niwa, along with "Mobile Suit Gundam UC" writer Harutoshi Fukui, will hold a panel and speak about the party's plans to create walking humanoid robots like those seen in the popular the anime series Gundam.
In 2008, the Japan Science and Technology Agency estimated that the cost to build a fully function Gundam-like robot would be $725,000 USD for parts and material. Labor and other costs were not factored into the estimate.
Taira has held extended discussions in the past about developing piloted humanoid robots through his twitter account. He has also met with Katsuya Kanaoka, a professor of robotics at the Kyoto University, about the development of these machines.

Only in Japan would this happen, only in Japan...
that would be cool but at the same time not
now this is awesome, butttt, everything has consequences, what about terminator and judgement day , hahahe, oh well, xd
If anyone can make it happen, they could. But it would be effin scary for those things to walk around!
god damn i want one too!!!!!!!!
That's idiotic... Sorry to say, but that's just a waste of money...
we need those eureka machines also

we shall have our revenge!
WOW!!! What's next? Evangelion? Daimos? Voltes V? Sentai robots?

The revenge on the US has started...
so sickkkkkkkk and coolllllll
lol wtf i want one of those in my backyard XD
Well thankfully for Japan this is not the party in power. How could you claim a giant fighting robot is for self defense?
wow! it's amazing..so cool.
this is crazy??? if it would happen this would be a break through!! our technology would be on a whole different level!! its amazing but based on the anime it was used for war and how the world is now it could be a good or a bad thing...the worst would be war but im probably thinking too much!!
This is so unbelieveable... ._.
