There is an
anime that not long ago took the world by storm – so quickly that it seems like
an invasion, an attack – it’s Attack on Titan!
Anime fan or not – there is probably nobody
who hasn’t yet heard about the human eating titans. You can see them
everywhere, on posters, on your favorite snacks, in TV, etc. And back in
February, Sapporo was even attacked by a giant titan made of snow!
Now they are back once again! Until May 25th,
you can visit the exhibition SELECT WALL SAPPORO at the Sapporo Art Park.
Now, you might think that an exhibition about an anime
or manga is somewhat dry, but in this case that’s
far from true! Every media imaginable is been used and it will require all your
senses!
Next to original drawings you can find
explanation by Isayama, the creator of "Attack on Titans", and a room dedicated to his sources of inspiration - and
sounds and light make 2D paintings come alive!
The whole setup is made in a way that makes
you believe the story is true. There are displays of items, such as Mikasa’s
scarf, and lay your hands on “real” maneuver gear.
But the best is probably the “real life” sized
titan, that's awaiting you in the last room.
Last but not least, their love for details
is just awesome! From uniforms, toilet signs, and even the table clothes in the
little café - everything is straight out of “Attack on Titan”. Not to mention
the food….
All in all, we think it’s a great
exhibition and well worth the 1500yen entry fee. But you can see for yourself
at the Sapporo Art Park.
