Thanks for sharing. The Daicon films are possibly some of the most influential anime ever made (Gainax and products would not have existed without it).

I have a discussion in my own forum, too:

But it is not correct.

For the sake of brevity.

"The film which preceded..." is neither quite as snappy or makes as much sense.

Grammar Nazi nitpick: the DAICON III video is not a prequel to the DAICON IV video. The proper use of "prequel" is for a LATER-produced volume that is SET earlier in the time-line of the series - it is NOT simply the opposite of sequel (in fact, a prequel is a TYPE of sequel). The Star Wars prequels, for instance, are true prequels. To use "prequel" to mean an antecedent volume is incorrect, though a fairly common mistake.

This should be the minimum standard of AMV's. If you can't make something that good. Don't bother at all.

ELO - Twilight - best song ever

The visions dancing in my mind
The early dawn, the shades of time
Twilight crawling through my windowpane
Am I awake or do I dream?
The strangest pictures I have seen
Night is day and twilights gone away

With your head held high and your scarlet lies
You came down to me from the open skies
Its either real or its a dream
Theres nothing that is in between...

Twilight, I only meant to stay awhile
Twilight, I gave you time to steal my mind
Away from me.

Across the night I saw your face
You disappeared without a trace
You brought me here, but can you take me back?
Inside the image of your light
That now is day and once was night
You lead me here and then you go away.

Its either real or its a dream
Theres nothing that is in between...

Twilight, I gave you time to steal my mind
Away from me.

(you brought me here, but can you take me back again? )

With your head held high and your scarlet lies
You came down to me from the open skies

Its either real or its a dream
Theres nothing that is in between...

Twilight, I only meant to stay awhile
Twilight, I gave you time to steal my mind
Twilight, I only meant to stay awhile
Twilight, twilight, twilight, twilight.

Worst remastering job ever. Seriously. It looks like shit. The crappy old mpeg version I have looks better.

That said, the Daicon IV animation is some of my all-time favorite animation. Especially the city scene. Those explosion effects were ridiculously detailed.

I love DaiconIV, I remember seeing it for the first time around 3 years ago. All I could think was "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE!?" XD
Then I went and doodled fanart for it. :D http://neobunny.deviantart.com/art/Daicon-IV-43277345

I remember this coming up in discussions online when people were guessing at which publishing companies would license Haruhi for US distribution, too. ^^;
