| Daicon III & IV | comment |
Daicon III & IV were two conventions that were held in Japan in the early 1980s. As part of the long-running Nihon SF Taikai (Japan SF Convention) series, they were held in Osaka and featured specially-produced short animated films as part of the opening ceremonies. While other conventions would feature their own works, Daicon III and IV's animations are particularly well-known for their Massive Multiplayer Crossover nature, as well as the fact that their production eventually led to the formation of Studio Gainax.Daicon III (1981) was primarily animated by three art students in Osaka: Hideaki Anno, Hiroyuki Yamaga, and Takami Akai. It centers on a young schoolgirl who is approached by the Science Patrol (from Ultraman) and asked to deliver a glass of water to "DAICON". Along the way, she faces opposition in the form of a number of recognizable characters: a mecha from the Japanese edition of Starship Troopers, Godzilla and other kaiju, and ships from Star Wars, Star Trek, and The War of the Worlds. The original intent was for the team to part ways after the convention, but the group instead founded Daicon Film – partially to fund what would become Daicon IV and its opening film, and partially to sell videos to pay off debts incurred during production.Daicon IV (1983) was the product of a staff of twelve, including some professional animators. The protagonist from the previous film returns for this one, now all grown up and wearing a Playboy Bunny outfit. Like before, she faces off against several different characters (though some brief scenes simply focus on the cameos and exclude her entirely). While the previous film had an Excuse Plot, IV eschews even this in favor of focusing on cramming in as many recognizable characters from different works of fiction as possible – several dozen in total.Daicon Film would be dissolved and reformed as Gainax at the end of 1984, making these films a critical turning point in the company's history. In spite of this, it has never seen re-release (outside of a now-scarce LaserDisc and VHS release around 1988), owing to the many different copyrighted characters used without permission. The unauthorized use of music is also an obstacle: III uses the first and last song from Yuji Ohno's Cosmos, while IV uses "Prologue", "Twilight", and "Hold On Tight" from the Electric Light Orchestra album Time as well as "Noah's Ark" by Kitarō. Fans circulating the tapes helped cement it as a cornerstone of otaku culture.In 2014, in occasion of Daicon IV's 33rd anniversary, a project named "DAICON FILM 33" was revealed, however it amounted to a number of memorial goods but no further attempt to make a sequel or another related animation. Despite that, Daicon Film would eventually regroup in 2021 to produce a restoration of Daicon III from a high-quality print. The project was announced on Twitter, with Daicon Film's endorsement, by film preservation fan group Kineko Video (then known as Femboy Films), who'd previously worked on their own restoration attempt from an 8mm print before receiving a C&D from Gainax. | |

Massive Multiplayer Crossover: Both shorts feature an extensive amount of characters and objects from other media. Star Wars, Starship Troopers, Star Trek, The Elric Saga, Ultraman, Super Sentai, and Godzilla all feature prominently in at least one of the films— to say nothing of the shorter cameos, which run the gamut from The Lord of the Rings to Urusei Yatsura to Wacky Races. | |

Rule of Cool | |
| Daicon III & IV / int_36e63b81 | comment |
Rule of Cool: Both shorts have threadbare plots that are primarily showcases for a great many characters from various forms of media. Naturally, bizarre events like a little girl's backpack hiding a missile-firing mechanism or a young woman surfing through the air on a sword are excusable simply because they fit into the unabashedly nerdy tone of the production. | |

| Daicon III & IV / int_396d046e | comment |
Fun with Homophones: The short opens with the Science Patrol asking the protagonist to deliver some water to "DAICON" (written in English). Most will naturally assume that this is referring to the convention itself. It's only at the end that the truth is revealed— they wanted her to pour it on a daikon (a kind of radish native to parts of Asia). | |

Freeze-Frame Bonus: The Crowded-Cast Shot near the end pans quickly over many different characters. Not only does this make it harder to recognize them individually, but it also obfuscates a few interactions between them (such as Snake Plissken shooting Superman to no effect, causing the latter to laugh). | |

Opening Narration: "Prologue" by Electric Light Orchestra is used for this purpose at the start of the film, with its lyrics being written out on-screen against a starry background.

Art Evolution | |
| Daicon III & IV / int_e43c66bd | comment |
Art Evolution: The animation staff quadrupled from the previous short (12 people vs. 3), and their dedication makes Daicon IV much more fluid, detailed, and solidly-drawn than its predecessor. | |

Laser Blade | |
| Daicon III & IV / int_f8cddfb2 | comment |
Laser Blade: In III, the main character whips out a bamboo ruler that transforms into a lightsaber-esque weapon near the climax. IV has a short scene where the protagonist wields an actual lightsaber in a duel against Darth Vader himself. | |
