What better way to spice up the roads in your time by decorating some parts of them with your favorite anime characters? Some manhole covers in Tokorozawa, Tokyo, were decorated with characters that glow in the dark. Some designs included characters from Neon Genesis Evangelion, as Reuters detailed:
The city installed the covers, which include designs from animation series such as Neon Genesis Evangelion and Gundam, this month to advertise a new entertainment complex focusing on Japanese popular culture that is scheduled to open in November.
“My commute back home is enjoyable,” said 22-year-old resident Kotaro Kodaira. “I can look at them on the ground so the (walking) time seems shorter than before.”
The 27 designs are illuminated by solar-powered LED lights, according to the city’s Waterworks and Sewerage department.
