Earlier tonight, I visited the Tokusatsu DNA Heisei Gamera exhibit in Kamata, Tokyo. Naturally, I didn't enjoy it as much as last year's exhibit (the Heisei Gamera series is not my bag), but it was still quite cool to see props, suits, maquettes, and everything else from those films. There was a small section dedicated to the Showa Gamera and even Daimajin series, which was the highlight for me. I just wish there was a lot more to see. In any event, the exhibit was very well done, so let's check out some of the highlights.

GAMERA TAKES ROPPONGI HILLS! Daiei's Super Monster Lands in Mori Tower!

An exhibit focusing on Gamera and his many foes is currently running in Mori Tower's Tokyo City View, located on the tower's 52nd floor. The emphasis is on the Heisei Gamera series, although the Showa version of Daiei's Super Monster also made his presence known. The exhibit runs between September 24 and November 13, and if you're a Gamera fan, it's well worth checking out. Here's what's in store.
