Daicon III and IV Openings

Earlier today my friend shared these short films with me. Originally they released as two anime 8 minute 8 mm films produced for Daicon III and Daicon IV conventions in 1981 and 1983. They were animated by Daicon Film, which would later become the anime studio Gainax.  This version of the video has been graphically enhanced. It is full of geek references and you need to check it out. 

My personal favorite parts are her being chased by Kaiju, flying around on Elric's blade Stormbringer, fighting Darth Vader, and the Xenomorph wielding Discovery One as a weapon.
