The Ghost of RubangB on 17 June 2009
@pearljammer, that was no trailer! That was the entirety of DAICON IV. The short recap of DAICON III is the intro.
A couple otaku made that for a sci-fi festival in Osaka in 1983. Then those kids became Gainax and made Evangelion, FLCL, and many other great series and films. They're my favorite anime studio, and DAICON IV is how they broke into the market. And it's set to "Time" by ELO!!!
Hideaki Anno, the one who animated the big nuclear sakura explosion part, went on to animate all the giant war machine monster parts of Nausicaa for Miyazaki the next year. He's really good at monsters and explosions and went on to be the director of all of Evangelion. I studied this way too much in school.
