I'm suprised nobody has posted this yet:

1/1 Starship Troopers-Inspired Suit Seeks New Home
source: ANN
The Japanese fan Shūhei Torii is offering a life-size iron replica of the anime powered suit design inspired by the science-fiction classic Starship Troopers — to someone who will give it a good home.

Inspired as a high school student by the life-size replica of Armored Trooper Votoms' Scopedog robot, Torii decided to make iron robot statues in art school. In September of 2009, he began building a statue of the powered suit from the famed design outfit Studio Nue (Macross, Dirty Pair, Space Battleship Yamato, Legend of the Galactic Heroes) for his graduation project.

~Torii completed his replica in January of 2010, and he then brought it to Tokon 10, last year's 49th Japanese National Science Fiction Convention. There, Kato (far right in photograph) himself had a chance to see it and pose with it. The statue also went on display at Torii's Tama Art University in Tokyo.

Torii displayed the statue at this past weekend's Wonder Festival 2011 Winter event with a handwritten sign:

"Looking for a place to store or display the powered suit!! Please respond -> toryyokohama4321[at sign]yahoo.co.jp."
Read the entire article on ANN, which includes (linked) pictures of the very awesome armor in question.

First Robot Marathon kicks off in Osaka:

Article:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-12565909

It's a marathon for robots which values durability over speed; they estimate that it will take *four days* for them to complete the course.

Video:

If you have eagle eyes, you can spot the Sunrise banners in the video; it stands to reason that they're sponsors - do they take the winning design and make it into a model kit?

2nd Macross Frontier Film Opens at #4 with 118 Million Yen

Macross Frontier ~Sayonara no Tsubasa~, the second anime film based on Shoji Kawamori and Satelight's Macross Frontier science-fiction series, opened at #4 at the Japanese box office this past weekend. Even though it opened on only 38 screens nationwide, moviegoers watched it 81,772 times in two days for a box office total of 117,803,100 yen (about US$1.44 million). That gave the film a per-screen average of 3,100,082 yen (US$37,800) — the best average of the weekend's top 10 films.

Don't really know what else to say about this besides the fact that there is now a hotel room that is entirely evangelion themed to the point of having a life size Rei statue "an interactive "voice touch panel" and telephone will emit comments in Rei's voice", and apparently they felt it necessary to recreate the elevator scene where there was no dialogue for about 9 minutes.

Yeah...

There are some more weird things in the article, such as black lights placed throughout the room that will display dialogue or graphics, but you might want to take a look yourself.
