Ginrai Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Hey folks, we have a new podcast at: www.destroyallpodcasts.com It's about the animated openings for two sci-fi cons from the early '80s, Daicon III and Daicon IV. This animation was done by the group that would become Gainax. This is the starting point of a series of podcasts we're doing on Gainax. If you have favorites you want us to touch on, let us know!

RDClip Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Seems that the OP of the Densha Otoko TV show is a complete homage to the Daicon IV video. Same song, bunny girl sky surfing, trees sprouting over the entire earth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funkenstein Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Same song too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knight26 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Nice podcast, thank god it wasn't another power ranger podcast. I wonder if anyone has ever done a frame by frame of those to point out all the different anime and sci-fi it draws from, it was too quick for me to pick it all up.

Thank god it wasn't another Power Ranger podcast? In our nearly three years of podcasting, we have done exactly two Power Rangers episodes. Anyway, I dunno if anyone has picked out every single reference in these videos, but if they have, I'd love to see it!

Funkenstein Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 There's just too many references. The biggest ones are obviously the Kaiju stuff, Star Wars,Star Trek, Yamato, Harlock. The Daicon IV video got even more stuff, like Daimos, Marvel and DC, Star Trek movie series, Macross, just too many too count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
