When I was younger, I was partial to any cartoons (Japanese or otherwise) featuring big robots such as Robotech/Macross, GUNDAM, Voltron, Appleseed, Patlabor etc. This also extended to complex vehicles and ships as well (eg. Star Blazers and Battle of the Planets). While I always loved the epic storylines in those series, the characters were always secondary to the featured mecha and vessels.
Anyway, I don't know how detailed it will be, but I was reading in Gizmodo this morning that Fujikyu Highland in Japan announced an attraction opening in July which features a "life size" (18 metre!) mobile suit GUNDAM.
I'd love an opportunity to go back to Japan again!
