DAICON IV Opening Animation (HD - Remastered audio & video)

This is an "HD" version of Daicon IV opening movie. More informations here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DAICON_I...

I've slightly remastered the movie (compared to the original LD Rip i've already post) for remove noise, reduce some artefacts (like very smalls black vertical lines) and apply some filters for keeping a good quality after resizing the video. But, as almost every times you use a filter, some details disappeared (like small windows of buildings in background).

For best quality, I recommend to view the video in HD but NOT in fullscreen (don't forget that original video is only 640x480).

I've used VirtualDub 1.8.8 with these filters :
* MSU Smart Deblocker 0.8 (MSU Graphics)
* MSU Cartoon Restore 2.0 Beta (MSU Graphics)
* MSharpen 1.2.1 (Donald Graft/Adreas Ludwig)
* Smart Smoother 1.1 (Donald Graft)
* Smart Smoother HiQuality 2.11 (Klaus Post)
* Hue/Saturation/Intensity 1.1 (Donald Graft)

You can watch the diffence between original video and remastered version by looking the original version here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AeDBIw... or by viewing this image : http://blog.cracrayol.org/wp-content/... (this image compare the video before resizing & use of MSharpen filter)

My brain has exploded from sheer awesomeness.

[Bloodyidit]

you underestimate the creativity and skill of the young.

these guys ended up creating the GAINAX anime company, one of the biggest names in anime and one of the companies that changed the face of it, Evangelion, Gurren Lagann, Panty & Stocking and FLCL all started here, with this one near-ultimate nerdgasm.

and this was before all the new tech was invented to help speed along the anime making process, imagine what our generation can do!

My God... there's no way an ELO fan could hate this. The song fits too well.

My new life's mission is to understand every single reference in this thing.

Their animation quality improved so immensely between 1981 (Daicon III) and 1983 (Daicon IV). Good times.

the opening to the daicon-convention from the 80`s packed with as many references as possible to otaku culture.

Great share, I love Gainax. I have a question to ask, I collect quite a few original video aniamtion and one that I have but is in storage came out around the early 2000s, it's about a young woman who has this super suit and teams up with a an who has a super suit also, the thing is is that the suit has a time limit for use. I just can't remember the name. Thank you, for any help on this. Konbanwa!
