A 10m tall rubber duck has been sighted on the waterways of Osaka.
The prosaically named Suito Osaka Rubber Duck Project, designed by Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman, has seen a 9.5m tall by 11m long rubber duck statue floated on the city’s waterways, for no particular reason. The duck has previously menaced other cities, but this is its first appearance in Japan.

Why don't I see the Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann on that graph?
Why don't I see the mecha from Bokurano on that graph?
Maybe because it's too big?
LMAO, i first thought its a joke made by Hideo :D
I am sure every loli that saw him owns a rubber ducky now.
wtf is-- O_O
so cute LOL.
HOLY SHIT, it's a GIANT RUBBER DUCK, get in the fucking car!
that's right, pump all that right up the duck's ass
Duckroll
it seems, the Gundam in Odaiba has found a new pet
The day has finnaly come i told you everyone tought i was crazy but i was right the giant ducks shall inherit the earth.
Awsm :3
oh the menace
Nice duck
Eee, I did not see it, even if I am in Osala >_<
This is why Japan has the Gundam.
LAUNCH IT NOW!!!
I knew they were building that Gundam for a reason. They foresaw the GRD invasion!
Nandeyanen?
That duck is stuck there! Unless he can fly he doesn't fit under the two bridges.He's trapped!
Where's Godzilla when you need him? LOL
Gundam will save us. Gundam is our only hope.
Where's Amuro when you need him?
"for no particular reason." - Humanity needs more men like him.
As for the text written under the pictures:
...for no particular reason....
THIS IS NOT CORRECT, PLEASE READ:
The Rubber Duck knows no frontiers, it doesn't discriminate people and doesn't have a political connotation. The friendly, floating Rubber Duck has healing properties: it can relieve mondial tensions as well as define them. The rubber duck is soft, friendly and suitable for all ages!
This quack me up!
thats one big ass fucking duck
That chart is missing Tengen Toppa: Gurren Lagann. Though that one is on a whole other dimension of big.
i heard that if you turn it over itz anatomically correct.
Oh shit, we doomed
FINALLY something that shows we Dutch are just as crazy as the rest of the countries.
Let's see... translation of the interview:
"It's important that that bathing duck brings a smile everywhere. It's the fourth in the world, after Brazil, France, the Netherlands, now Belgium. Soon a fifth in Japan."
In other words, this youtube was the fourth in Belgium, and Japan is the fifth duck. The rest of the interview is all philosophical and artistic jibber jabber.
It's easy to imagine Japan taking well to the sudden appearance of a giant rubber duck coasting along the waterways.
"The duck has previously menaced other cities, but this is its first appearance in Japan."
I wonder what the artist has learned about how different cultures react to the sight?
I find the lack of the 500m tall Zearth to be disturbing, commander.
we need Ultraman to fight this monstrosity!!!
could we at least get those barely dressed lolis...
...The Power puff Girls Z, they have fighted this monster before
cool chart.
RABBADUCKUZILLA
Duckzilla.
Fixed.
Great XD
Man, I must be on SC too much. When I read the title, I thought it said Giant Rubber Dick Menaces Osaka.
I need to go see this thing called the sun and breathe "Fresh Air" (@.@)
Awesome!
Please RTFA >:3
Psyco Gundam looks tiny in comparison with the other giant robots :O
I wanna hug and squish it
Me too
rubber ducky your the one........you make bath time lots of fun!
Ah, giant Ernie!
Its proportion is all wrong!
But the world doesn't have enough of such things. There is something sublime about it sailing through the waterway on a sunny afternoon. :D
I wish it can set sail.
Imagine if all the giant ducks they had just all randomly drifted into the ocean together.
Giant Enemy Duck!
You have to attack it weak point, for massive damage.
those giant robots all seem big, sure, but they're the size of one of tengen toppa gurren laggann's molecules.
Demonbane and Getter Emperor are bigger.
Surely Demonbane is huge but..as huge as TPGL? Better be kidding me..
I'm not that much a mecha fanatic, so I'm not sure which is the biggest mecha in anime. The biggest I've seen so far is Gunbuster (from the first movie). How do those mechas you've mentioned stack up against it?
TTGL is the size of a galaxy apparently.
The TTGL is confirmed to be 10 million light years tall.
And then there is the Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, whose foot is like two TTGLs put together end to end.
