Not sure if a thread like this exists already, but if not, for those of you who haven't seen these yet, behold, the first two projects GANIAX worked on. And it's even before they were named GANIAX.
The Daicon III opening
The Daicon IV opening
See, even back then they were standing out of a crowd. But what really intrigues me is the Daicon IV opening. Good lord, second project they worked on (is it?) and already everything the company is known for is all in place in that opening. Pretty much all of the big hits this last decade (FLCL, GL, P&S) owns to the existence of that opening. For example, it's...
-Having fun with the atmosphere it has created
-Pandering to what interests their inner otaku
-Tons and tons of references nobody but them loved to do
-An instant crowd pleaser
-Needless complicated actions just because it looks cool
And more. Man, I wish someone would fix the copyright problems these openings are stuck in, because it's too important and fun for it to be stuck for limbo with such low quality, don't you?

Daicon opening animations are legendary to the point Daicon IV worked as inspiration for Densha Otoko's opening which says all about it's iconic status.

You wouldn't get any higher quality from DVD than you would from the Laserdisc. These were recorded on 8mm film, so they have approximately the resolution of early YouTube anyway.
