Visited this same exhibition in the Takamatsu Art Museum last year, very much worth it! Apart from Gundam I had only very little knowlegde of all of these robots, and I also had to Google Translate my way through, but even then it was amazing. Especially those paintings! And was kinda surprised taking pictures was (mostly) fine.
And I was kinda lucky to see it in the first place. Generally I'm not that interested in art museums, but I just happened to see a poster of the exhibition in one of the shopping arcades. Turned out to be one of the highlights of my visit to Takamatsu! (and the entrance fee over there was only 1200 yen.....so more money for the souvenir shop  )
In Takamatsu they even had a bonus exhibition of "Electromagnetic Car Kotodine", which is apparently some kind of SF story about the local Kotoden Railway. Can't say it made much sense to me, but it was cool nonetheless!

This was cool. Just one thing though: No Gunbuster?
Other than that, I would've loved being there. |

I always understood a robot to be an autonomous or semi-autonomous machine, not something piloted/driven by a human being. Giant Robo (duh) is a robot, as are Big O, RockMan, Mighty Atom, Tetsujin 28, etc. Gundams, Valkyeries, 'Labors, etc. are mecha.

You can still see it from February 15 till March 24 in Nagoya, and in summer (exact dates TBA) in Fukushima: https://artne.jp/giant_robots/outline/ And I wouldn't be surprised of they add Sapporo to the list, as Hokkaido is the one region completely missing from the schedule.. |

Surprised (but happy) to see Gekiganger 3 in the lineup.
No Gunbuster, no Gurren Lagann, and I suppose the Evangelions are too biological to count as Mecha? Or maybe copyrights. |
