Some mad lad just dropped the highest quality version of Daicon 3 to date out of nowhere.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsPdq5khwN4https://archive.org/details/zgfpy29uigxsba
>>284523774If he somehow drops the highest quality version of Daicon IV too I'm gonna bust hands down
Sci-fi and cunny
>>284524095Dai...con...
I like this frame
>>284523983I don't think he has IV >>284423350
>>284523774surprised this thread isn't getting more play, zoomers don't know their anime history I guesshow did this guy get/find this higher quality version of Dai3?
This is pretty darned amazing to see something like this after this long.I don't usually indulge in that 'soul vs soulless' thing the kids do, but I am at a loss to find something with more soul than this.
>>284524705Gainax is lame.Only 'shinji is literally me' geezers like them instead of realizing that Madhouse was the best studio of the 90s.
>>284523774This is insane, I bet it's you. Good job dude
>>2845247053 is boring4 is the one everyone cares about
>>284525310I liked it
>>284525310
>>284524705They used the 8mm film I believe
This is a fair bit better than the domesday rips of Daicon IV.
>>284523983There's this one from 2 months agohttps://archive.org/details/DAICONIVREMASTER
>>284525310Kill yourself zoomer retard.
>>2845247051. The board's average age is higher than you are willing to admit. Why do you think "zoomer" hate is so prevalent?2.This thread would be just as barren 15 years ago in the so-called "millennial" era.Don't fall into the trap of generation war nonsense, especially when it's a given that in any generation, history nerds will be a passionate minority.
>>284523774Fun watch. Really cute at the end where she was in all the different outfits. But mostly it just made me sad that mecha is a completely dead genre.
Did they really need to sexualize her so much? She looks like an elementary schooler.
>>284528642>full>suddenly>why>out of ten>the
>>284528642
>>284523774Wow I didn't know this guy was a Daicon reference
She's so much cuter as a loli, they really didn't need to age her up for IV.Also, somehow I had never seen that last scene, pretty cute.
>>284523774Now ain't THAT a fucking classic.Good job, OP
>>284523774Nice.
>>284523774>Start watching this out of curiosity>Haha this is kinda silly lmao>Middle part starts>Sakuga epicness ensues>Ending part is pantyshots and transformationWhat the actual fuck
>>284523774Good stuff.
I kinda love the sloppy animation. Looks just like early webgen stuff
>>284528642Yes, fans of big robots come on two flavors: lolifags or onee-chanfags.
>>284528642>Did they really need to sexualize her so much?Absolutely.
>>284524705Otaku meme
>>284531637Wow all those iconic outfits.
>>284531510Or both
>>284523774NOOO THIS WAS FOR OUR DISCORD GROUP ONLY DON'T SHARE THIS
>>284524705People are too busy getting fucked by captcha
>>284523774Cool thanks op
>>284533111Based leaker putting good stuff out in the world instead of getting stuck in some shithole groomercord for retards.
>>284533744gross
>>284524705It insist upon itself.
>>284529884Your first time hearing about Daicon III and Daicon IV?
>>284523774Are we sure it’s not some dumb AI remix nonsense.
Tell me about the daicon. How did she get so strong?
>>284535948She ate Daicon 1 and 2.
>>284528784Both Daicon and Abenobashi reference a Hideo Azuma character
>>284536268All this time we thought Daicon 4 was an older version of Daicon 3, but maybe what actually happened is that Daicon 4 ate her?
>>284523774Do you have no shame, getting (you)s on something you didn't make yourself?
>>284528642It was acceptable in the 80s
>>284528784> this aired on tv in americaMan, the world really was a whole different place back then.
>>284523774Did that one anon ever manage to find all the references in IV? Maybe an HD release would help if he didn't.
>>284537635 Writing a sentence on the internet wasn't a societal statement in the 80s.>>284537825 Yeah we called it Fasser IV.
>>284528642The anime industry has always been full of perverts. ALWAYS.
>>284539664>Activate Cunnyvision!
Did those fags ever get that Daicon 4 remaster done? I remember it being a big deal then total silence, they got asked to stop or something? I wish someone had just released it, insane we don't have any quality pieces of it.
>>284531637Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlet my god
>>284540975there's a decent bit of anderson stuff in daicon iv as welland that's not getting into otaku no video and evangelion
>>284523774
>>284524705There was a thread not too long back trying to identify every reference in Daicon 4. I think it hit bumb limit twice iirc. Plenty of love for daicon here. The real question is when are they going to make a daicon 5
>>284533744she's a literal child you sick fucks
>>284543887>The real question is when are they going to make a daicon 5They already did.https://youtu.be/qzqUnk75-ME?si=OKB9T2iQiZYGIMWv
cute
>>284523774I like all the western 'geek' stuff they included, to show just how influential stuff like Star Wars and Superman were on otaku culture in Japan.
First time I open /a/ in years and I have to see this shit
>>284544041sick child fucks literal you she's a
>>284539664Oh, she's not an elementary age girl, she's a full grown midget.
This is actually so brilliant. literal anime history.also, what great timing lol, right after Gainax ended for good. I hope they release Daicon IV OP soon as well.
>>284545213Lolis were just kinda built like that in the early 80's.
I only meant to stay a while...
>>284537925I also wonder if he did. The thread got a whole lot of references from his screenshots but nothing went beyond the list.Unless I missed something.
>>284523774Huh, neatI'm guessing it's a cleaned up and color corrected version of the raw film scan that Kineko Video uploaded on YouTube some years ago?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fighLETfcxQ
Can someone please upload the /a/ draws daicon iv to catbox or something? The one on youtube is blocked by Sony.
>>284546094https://x.com/KennyLauderdal3/status/1982220774917222862?s=20
>>284546292I meant the /a/ draws one anon.
>>284545907Having compared them for a while now, it seems to be quite different. The new version seems quite a bit clearer than the Kineko one, but surprisingly the Kineko version goes up to 4k while the new one goes up to 1080p. However, I doubt 8mm film allows for any more detail above 1080p.It could be, but I'm not sure if it's the same FemboyFilms restoration or not. Something to think about
>>284546393I went through about a minute of it frame-by-frame. They share a lot of the same artifacts, but occasionally the new one has a scratch the old one didn't. So, either a new scan and most of the artifacts are in the master, or they painted in some new scratches for some reason.
>>284546363I'm sorry anon, not sure if I follow which one you're referring to, could you elaborate a little more?
>>284523774Still shit qualitykek.
>>284546432/a/ drew the entire Daicon IV opening some time back. It used to be on youtube but now the video is blocked by Sony.
>>284539664>pubesDROPPED
>>284530891This is legitimately good animation. Even more impressive for amateurs.
>>284546460Ah fair enough, say less.https://files.catbox.moe/pbdzuz.mp4
>>284546460This one's still available on YouTube, just with the /a/ cover instead of the originalhttps://youtu.be/x9JeCaEH8JQ?list=RDx9JeCaEH8JQ
This video was truly prophetic about how out of all the badass shit, the one to rise on top would be the cute anime girl.
>>284546560Mercy bookoo anon
>>284546393Something else I just noticed: The clean ups and color corrections seem to match the ones seen in this video uploaded by Kineko Video before Gainax made them cancel their restoration.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uvzj3ZbdrIMaybe this Daicon III HD restoration is actually a leak of Kineko Video / Femboy Films' unfinished restoration project?
>>284528355I mean he is right.IV just has more energy too it. Plus the callback to it in later Gainax works like FLCL helps.
>>284544428And yet you can't even bring up Star Wars anymore without attracting deranged schizophrenics that are obsessed with Reddit
>>284546474ACKtuallyhttps://files.catbox.moe/ub8ccf.jpg
>>284548243The duel with all the stormtroopers sitting like in a dojo is so perfect because Vader's helmet really is based on a samurai helmet.
>>284548257Is this the actual cell?
>>284548243Star Wars used to be peak 'geek' culture. the Prequels made it mainstream (which made it no longer countercultural to like it), and Disney turned it into a franchise only liked by childless women in their 30s-40s.
>>284537925Hey, that's me!We didn't find all of it, but we found most, I'd say about 75% probably.It's still an ongoing project and I swear I'm gonna make a website for it.For now the progress is documented on the Twitter page "Daicon List Project".Right now tho, program is pretty much halted, since we found basically everything that can be identified by the naked eye, a few things here and there could probably still be identified if the right person with the right autism happened to look at it, but I don't know if that warrants making more threads for now.An HD release would of course help tremendously, we can only hope.
>>284548472It was mainstream since it came out you fucking retard.
>>284523774very cool, thanks OP
>>284523774Based
>>284548512if you liked Star Wars over the age of about 12 you were a social pariah back in the 80s. it didn't become acceptable to say "I like Star Wars" as a teen/adult until the early 2000s. Liking Star Wars in the 80s/90s was like admitting to watching cartoons as an adult. You weren't there.
>>284548472>>284548512It was in that good ol' liminal space where both Gen X normies and nerds could enjoy it.https://youtu.be/iQdDRrcAOjA?si=04Ty2Apxo1JbdbJn
>>284548995>Always has been.
>>284548995Don't understand what people see in these shitty shorts. It's like... this is just fan animation tier shit who gives a shit?
>>284548995>>284549153Here is your attention.
>>284548995This is duel btw, a known shitposter that terrorizes both /a/ and /m/.
>>284536613Shut the fuck up.
>>284548817>ultra nerd movie made for nerds filled with inside jokes that only nerds would get
>>284523774oh this is really cool, thanks for the heads up anon!
>>284523774I was gonna ask if someone messaged the guy for the source files before he dies or disappears or both and the only thing left is the piece of shit YouTube reencode but looks like he already uploaded the best quality he had himself to archive.org? Pretty based.More people should be like him.
>>284548995Fuck off
>>284549699He would have been more based if he uploaded an 4k upscaled 60 fps version to Youtube and nowhere else and then died in a house fire, taking the original files with him
>>284549824
>>284523774>that last partNeat.
>>284549824>an 4k
>>284549153Here's your (You).
>>284546460Move over for hard drive chads.I tried looking for Daicon IV on my hard drive and found the 4chan version by accident. "Why is it a penis?" I had to look again to find the crusty old .avi file.Anyhow, this one seems to have been a noticeably cleaner film source than the Daicon IV laserdisc used. That opening sequence could give you epileptic leprosy eye cancer from all the spots on the picture in just the opening scene.Also the old LD rip has a lot louder audio for some reason.
>>284533111Really?
>>284523774Nice.I thought Kenny was doing some new restoration for one of these too.
>>284537635>acceptableEncouraged
>>284523774White today
I now recognize the Ideon logo after now having watched it
Cute
>>284533744That’s what skirts were made for.
>>284524705it's an ai upscale
>>284554491It's not though. Did you even watch it? It's clearly from a higher quality source.
>>284523774>>284524180That's pretty impressive. Good stuff.
>>284523774I love how autistic she looks in Daicon III
>>284523774I knew this was going to be a matter of time after the higher quality Daicon IV release a few months back. Still really cool and I appreciate the passion people still have for these shorts. It's interesting how Starship Troopers is insanely influential in the west and the east but in vastly different ways.

>>284528411Aint that the truth. shame people dont get that. I expect that from 20 years olds or younger but im betting some fuckers here are in their 30s or 40s and saying the same shit
>>284546560Beautiful, but big boobs Lina kinda breaks the immersion
