The more-mature version of the Daicon Girl used to pop up in all the early Fanzines & Licensed Manga of the late 80s, & I had no frame of reference of who she was. Now I feel complete.
If you had told me a video where a Gundam, a Star Destroyer, an X-Wing, several TIEs, Godzilla, and the USS Enterprise all get trashed with James Bond music playing, I’d never have believed you.
Yeah, I remember this. The guy borrowed the audio from my remastered music-only Daicon III video and mixed it with the unmodified (mono) original audio that had all the sound effects. I know because there were specific "watermarks", if you will, in my original edit. The results get quite cluttered at the end, which was unavoidable, and was the main reason why I never tried my hand at a full remaster. The video component, on the other hand, is way better than my own source video, for a bevy of reasons, not the least of which being RUclips's better quality handling these days.

Qual meravigliosa follia...e quanto sarebbe bello avere una macchina del tempo per tornare al 20 agosto 1982 e assistere al ventesimo congresso sulla fantascienza! Avevo 7 anni all' epoca e nemmeno sapevo esistesse un mondo del genere...averlo perso fa piangere il cuore😢
It's kind of sad when I compare modern animation to this. This short was made by amateur animators with a very tight budget, and this manages to pack twice the amount of animation as a modern 20 minute episode (without all the technology to make it easier.) I really wonder when we'll be able to enjoy animation of this capacity again.
It's... I'm not sure that "inspiring" is the right word. Such an example of pure devotion to the craft, produced by three people with only simplest of tools, should be inspiring, but I only feel sadness. There's something special about traditional animation... It's not even nostalgia, I was born in 2002, too late to see it in work. I should be glad that making animation is way easier now with digital, because it's still extremely demanding craft. Yet my heart aches knowing that traditional animation has no place in the modern world.
@@GLOWman812 I mean hand drawn and digital is vasically the same. Literally animators working on a single anime are using paper and pencil or drawing tablets on PCs
@@xadek821 not even close. It takes a lot more skill and experience to pull off animation stunts such as Akira when it's done in hand drawn. Take one of my favorite movies growing up, Oliver and company, any Bluth or Ghibli film, there is a richness in the animation that hasn't been replicated in digital. To put it another way, hand drawn is to motorcycles as digital is to cars. There's also more risk and rawness to hand drawn. Hand drawn just has a soul that digital has yet to compete with. Pure, raw emotion.
@@SoulcastProductions And I think first (and so far only) time I've seen a Starship Troopers "Mobile Infantry" presented somewhat right (where are the nukes? :D)
@hikari2905 Indeed. That power armor was created by Kazutaka Miyatake for a Japanese adaptation of the novel in the early 80s. This was its unofficial animated debut. The mecha design appears again in the Uchuu No Senshi/Starship Troopers OVA from 1988.
Holy shit they used the Ski Chase music from For Your Eyes Only. The Japanese truly love Bond. I think I also noticed some Lupin music by Yuji Ohno, but I could wrong.

I recently bought this LD. It cost me ¥600! Finally got it yesterday, it has light rot speckling but the films, especially III, have tons of scratches and dirt so you can only notice the speckles on black screens. Side 2 looked a little bit worse and being live action, was more noticible.
Funny. They took a stereo remaster of the music - much like the one I uploaded to RUclips a while back - and mixed in the original mono audio track. So you get the sound effects, though rather quieter than they originally were. The music was remastered somewhat sloppily, as it conflicts with the mono audio frequently. They should have used my audio. Incidentally, these are decent LD rips. It'd be interesting to go to town doing a proper remaster. More than Vdub filters, anyway. Someday.
Daicon III is the nickname of a sci-fi that was held in Osaka in 1981. (I can't remember what it's real name was, but it was being held in Osaka for the third time. The other wao to read the first kanji character in Osaka is dai, and when you combine dai with the first syallable in convention, you get daicon, which is a homophone for the japanese word for white radish.) So, it's basically a string of nerd references, ending with the girl watering a daikon radish, and the radish turning into the spaceship Daicon III.
es por que la convencion para la que se hizo este corto se llama daicon 3, daicon es un rabano blanco . La convencion se llamaba asi, por ser en osaka, Esa O, se pronuncia Dai , y a eso sumale Con de convention. Y al ser la tercera edicion de la convencion, pues quedo Daicon 3, Busca el daicon 4, es mucho mas elaborado.
I think the thing I love most about this, aside from being a totally beautiful work of animation art kludged together by a handful of neckbears working in their garages is that from a narrative thematic standpoint, it just destroys fandom and its iconography. Fandom is a plague, a curse and needs to be dealt with the way a surgeon deals with cancer: With a high powered x-ray laser and a shallow pit somewhere in the desert.
