The Odawara covers are currently on display inside the keep of Odawara Castle, and will be installed in their permanent locations on August 1.
The Gundam Manhole Project organizers say these are only the first of what they hope will eventually become a nationwide series of manhole covers featuring famous Gundam mecha and characters.
First, we have the RX-78-2 Gundam, the original TV series’ hero mecha, with the keep of Odawara Castle.
If your taste in anime is less cute creatures and more giant robots, though, you’ll be happy to know that a new Gundam Manhole Project is now underway.
