A teaser website for "Daicon Film 33" has been published by Gainax. It is a sequel to "Daicon Opening Animations," originally produced as Gainax's first work when it still operated as a university club. The press release mentions that the film will be out on January 8, 2014.

Awesome, time to listen to some ELO again. I loved the original shorts and I hope this will be an entire movie or at least a full fledged OVA.

Hopefully Gainax are gonna kick ass with the New Daicon film. It's proof of just how low Gainax has gone that not more people are talking about this, but maybe this can give Gainax one last blaze of glory before dying.

Gainax hasn't been the same ever since Imaishi left. But this sounds pretty fun and hopefully, this is a return to form.

Agreed.

Anyway, can't wait.
Please learn about cel animation and its technical process.
Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers.

Other than this, Gainax has five projects lined up including two movies. I wonder if this "Gainax is dead" thing is a joke or just plain ignorance.

I'll look forward to this.

gainaix has suffered through immense losses in a large portion of their staff and has had multiple financial bombs in recent years, honestly the only reason they are alive is likely the eva movies

they are on life support and barely at that, I really doubt they will even finish any of their projects let alone eva 4.0

I doubt it will be as charming as the original, because that one was made with total hand draw animation, it was full of effort and love for the movements. but this new one, will be just somehow limited and generic animation and 3D graphics everywhere. Just like they did with the opening of the dorama "Densha Otoko". :/

It might take awhile, but we are getting those anime. I expect Mahou Taisen this summer season.

Woohoo copyright infringement Bunny Girl is back to Ideon Missile Storm them all. Will Darth Vader be making an appearance again too?

For people that aren't familiar with what I'm talking about I feel I should at least post them:

Daicon III and Daicon IV

These were basically the original shorts that Gainax (then named Daicon) first shopped around at sci-fi conventions around Japan in the early 80's when it was just the eventual founders coming out of college and having been exposed to Mobile Suit Gundam, Star Trek, Star Wars, Space Battleship Yamato and other Sci-Fi classics of the 60's and 70's. As far as I know if there is a Daicon 1 and 2 they've never been recovered in any known format but it's still interesting that they're even doing anything else with the classic name. Maybe this is their trying to reboot themselves and start over from scratch somehow or a last tribute before ceasing operations altogether.

Actually, they're -trying- to line up several projects, including movies. Nowadays, they're unable to find sponsors for their shows, so they're resorting to fan interest to turn the tides.

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2013-09-04/gainax-blue-uru-pilot-film-slated-for-2014 (pilot film intended but still looking for sponsors)

https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2013-03-21/gainax-reveals-proposed-akubi-o-suru-ni-wa-wake-ga-aru-anime (not greenlit yet, still collecting funds, six years and counting)

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2013-03-22/gainax-outlines-possible-tenshi-yoho-strange-weathers-cgi-anime (not greenlit yet, still collecting funds)

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2013-03-21/gainax-outlines-possible-sadon-desu-anime (not greenlit yet, still collecting funds)

The recurring theme is that they have several concepts that have been kicking around for years, but no greenlight for any of them. Normally, these developments aren't revealed until financing arrangements are negotiated, which suggests some desperation on Gainax's part.....they're putting everything out in the open, in the hope that at least one of them will generate enough buzz to attract investors.

Daicon movie?

Ohboyohboyohboy

But wasn't his supposed to have come out a few days ago? Does anybody know anything about that? Even con releases get a few MAL ratings before an official release, but we seem to have nothing.

Vengeance of everyone's grudge.

Daicon Film 33 refers to a "33rd year anniversary" celebration for the group. Basically, they've opened a site where you buy commemorative goods illustrated by Takami Akai, such as posters and coffee mugs.

According to Gainax, they've revived Daicon Film in a new form, one that consists of different types of products celebrating their original collaboration.
