I was looking for a show called Densha Otoko and a site I went to said the opening for the show was based on that animation. All they said was that a lot of prominent people like Hideki Anno(NGE) were inspired by this, and that GAINAX exists because of this animation alone.
So do you guys know what all the hype is about, was Daicon IV a famous anime series?
"The Daicon III (1981) and IV (1983) Opening Animations were fan-produced animated shorts, debuting at the 20th and 22nd Japan Science Fiction Conventions, respectively. The amateur animators who made the Daicon anime went on to form Gainax, the studio behind Evangelion, FLCL, and other famous titles. Both shorts are frenetically animated and parody well-known anime and science fiction icons who fight and fall victim to the little schoolgirl in the Daicon III anime who grows up to fight once again as the famous Daicon Bunny Girl in the Daicon IV anime. Many consider the Daicon III and IV Opening Animations to be crucial moments in the history of otaku culture. Irreverent celebrations of science fiction, jam-packed with references, and propelled by a do-it-yourself attitude, the Daicon anime represent the hopes and dreams of the first otaku generation, born in the 1960's, and they continue to delight whole new generations of otaku."
And it's still something Gainax is proud to display (at least the parts that won't get them sued), as well as parody, in Otaku no Video and FLCL.
And of course, always remember: Right now, Bunny Girls Rule! _________________ "When I became a man, I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up."- C.S. Lewis
