In the 60 years since the TV anime “Tetsujin 28-go” aired in 1963, animations featuring “giant robots” have been produced continuously in Japan. Many robot anime have been produced and attractive robots have been designed to this day, including the blockbuster hit “Mazinger Z” (1972) and the breath-taking “Mobile Suit Gundam” (1979). The evolution and expansion of its design, which can be said to be unique to Japan, has seen ingenuity in design and setting, in order to give visual “reality” to the imaginary and absurd existence of robots. I’m here. In this exhibition, we will examine the history of design and visual expression in robot anime up until recent years, focusing on the “mechanism” and “size” of the settings that played an important role in forming their “reality.” . Together with the audience, we will think about “What is a giant robot?” Aichi Prefecture is also a familiar land for giant robots. In particular, it is widely known among fans that Me-Tele (Nagoya Television Broadcasting) broadcasts robot anime on Saturday evenings at 5:30 p.m. As a limited project at the Aichi venue, tickets will be sold that come with an original T-shirt designed by Studio Nue with a mobile infantry design. In addition, we plan to announce original plans for the venue in the future. Tickets, including original T-shirts, will go on sale on Saturday, December 14th. Please look forward to this unprecedented exhibition that unravels the history of the design and visual expression of Japan’s unique genre of “giant robot anime” and asks, “What is a giant robot?”

Fictional “life-sized” robots, such as the “Moving Gundam” that appeared in Yokohama (to be closed at the end of March 2024), exist in major cities in Japan, and they have now become a daily sight. . “Tetsujin 28-go” (1963) was the beginning of robot anime, followed by the huge hit of “Mazinger Z” (1972), and the influence of “Mobile Suit Gundam” (1979), which breathed new life into the flow of robot anime. To date, many robot animations have been produced and attractive robots have been designed. Its design has evolved and expanded in a unique way that cannot be seen in animation from other countries. The above ingenuity has been used to attract fans. This exhibition will explore the history of robot design and visual expression in recent robot anime, from Tetsujin 28-go, to the “mechanisms” and “size” of the settings that played an important role in forming their “reality”. We will verify the axis. Pay attention to the “mechanism” of the giant robot! “Boarding,” “combining,” and “transformation” are the “promises” of giant robot anime. The design is designed with the premise of toy development in mind. However, the “mechanism” hidden in its design has some rationality. In this exhibition, we will convey the appeal of such mechanisms through sculptures created from design drawings and scenes from anime plays.

How has the “size” of the giant robot been expressed in the movie? In the 1980s, giant robots became smaller to the level of practical machines, and at the same time their expressions became more realistic. What would it look like if a part (or all) of these robots, which are likely to exist in reality, were expanded to the size set in the movie? Please watch it as if you were a character in the anime. It can also be used as an “internal mechanism”! “Internal perspective views” of fictional robots have been drawn as if they really existed. Is the mechanism peeking out from behind the armor and through the gaps a desire for the “materialization” of a fictional mechanism, or the fetishism of its creator? We will focus on the “inside” of robots, which are now often reproduced in plastic models and toys.
