Episode 175 - Flight of the Bunny Girl (Daicon III & IV Opening Animation)

Vintage Anime Club Podcast

On this episode, join hosts Dennis, Ed, Kate, & Garrett with speccial guests Patrick and Jennifer as we discuss the opening animations for Daicon III and Daicon IV. Before they founded Gainax, these two amateur animation shorts are still inspiring folks in the industry today after more than 40 years. Fandom crossovers and cameos, galore. It's the first anime bunny girl committed to film. And if you haven't heard ELO's "Twilight" yet, do yourself a favor and stream it. Still a banger.
