Ginormous Anime Snow Sculptures

With the giants from the anime series Attack on Titan set to show up at the Sapporo Snow Festival, visitors to the event might be hoping for protection. They’re in luck, because the Titans aren’t the only anime characters who’ll be represented at the event since Goku from Dragon Ball will also appear as a gigantic snow sculpture.

Meanwhile, the Attack on Titan sculpture was being made with the help of Japan Self-Defense Forces personnel.

They were doing some fine work on the details, recreating the straining sinew, terrifying teeth, and expressive eyes of manga creator Hajime Isayama’s designs.

As a matter of fact, the Titans are looking so scary that it’s sort of reassuring to have a layer of combat-trained men between us and them.

Both the Dragon Ball and Attack on Titan sculptures can be found in the Odori Kaijo venue of the Sapporo Snow Festival, which started February 5 and runs to February 11, 2016.
