    I've seen this in Cowboy Bebop and X...I thought that CB was set in Paris at first, because of it's resemblance to the Eiffel tower! Anybody know if there's some connection there?

    Yeah.

    Also, Charlie, note that Tokyo Tower is in almost EVERY anime. Seriously. It's a very recognizable landmark to Japanese people.

    It's nice when you actually see it too. Especially at night. Well, maybe because it was snowing when I saw it. =D

    its modelled after the Effiel Tower. interestingly enough its actually about 109 feet taller than the real Effiel Tower.

    In my opinion its better than the Effiel Tower. There are atractions and resterants at the botom. They have wax mueseums and stuff like that. Its really cool to visit, its alot more exciting becuase there is more to do than just go up and down on the elevator. ^^;;

    Yes, and its extremly cool at night.

    Yeah, better, except it's just a knockoff of an icon of French culture.
