For this year’s Sapporo Snow Festival, the big centerpiece snow sculpture is Attack on Titan themed.
The sculpture is still being made, and the festival won’t start until February 5 (it ends on the 11th).
This is what the finished sculpture will look like. As in the past, the Japanese military and tons and tons of snow (literally, tons) will be needed to complete the piece.
Above, you can see a model of the finished piece, along with pics from during construction.
Even without considering the manga and anime’s popularity, Giant Attack on Titan anything makes sense, really.
