Hello,

I am sorry I was  chatting about the Daicon Bunny Girl and how the yamato along with everything else gets blasted in that show.

The reason why Daicon 3 is so important is because it sets up for number 4.  Without that little girl growing up there can be no Daicon Bunny Girl...

Our heroine from the Daicon III opener... later to become the bunnygirl in the Daicon IV film.

The ending of the Daicon IV opener is a bit more somber.  Our heroine is apparently vaporized in a nuclear explosion, and memorialized in this "farewell" scene in which she recedes from the viewer and fades away into darkness.  Autumn leaves blow across her to symbolize the end of the season.

The film goes on to document the death and rebirth of the planet, but the Daicon girl is not seen again.

It is this introspective element of loss and grief which lends depth to this short film, and separates it from more "fluffier" media.

Hi,

I did notice something about the ending of Daicon III.  the little girl seems to be wearing what looks like the uniform from the Macross series.  Or should I say Lisa Hayses' Outfit.  At least her officer's outfit.

Now if someone would just draw Bunny Ears on the girl everything would be cool.  it real funny that in the openning the robot that attacks her is from Struggle Bunny.

...there is some ambiguity in the film, and my synopsis merely details my analysis.  Some buddies and I discussed this show when I was in college, using advertising iconic imagery to interpret the film.  Our conclusions are open to debate.

...I didn't know that; that's cool.  A date stamp using the positions of the planets as a clock face.

...actually, I think the field is wide open to create a sequel to the first two Daicon films, given the events thus far...

Opening shot is a smashed industrial landscape where humans are hiding from HK drones and Terminator endoskeletons (from the "Terminator" movie series).  In the rubble of the city, the human fighters find a high heel containing a few foot bones.  A "survivor!"  (So to speak...)

The fragments are taken to a secret lab and placed in regeneration chamber (from the "The Fifth Element" movie), where the machines recreate... The Daicon Girl!  ...complete with fishnet tights, high heels, cuffs, and bowtie.  A Savior!  She jumps into action, ready to save (or destroy) the world (as needed)...

From there, we can add references from the movies "The Matrix" (with "bullet time" sequences), "ALIENS," "Hellboy," "the Grudge," the "Star Wars" series, recent cartoons, anime shows, and other popular cultural icons, characters, and scenes.

The New Daicon Girl kicks butt, and looks good in the process.

...I've actually considered doing my own homemade homage to the Daicon opener, using SnowBuni as the super-powered bunnygirl.  This might be something to think about, as it would allow us freedom to market the film without the copyright considerations involved with the Daicon character.
