There was a time in anime otakudom when, if you had a really rare anime to show, it was a unique and precious thing to share. Nowadays, with the ability to order anything online from anywhere (or simply download it [grrr...]), there's nothing rare or unique anymore, and the feeling of discovery and collectability in finding such treasure diminished.
Alas, behold: The Daicon Laserdisc. Granted, a copy of it is festering around on the net in various forms, but in poor quality. This is a very rare laserdisc, but more importantly, it's a piece of history. Daicon animation went on to become Gainax, and we all know what went on from there. Jsevakis, if you want a piece to write about for your Buried Treasure segment, here you go.

He already did a Buried Treasure about it long ago. And boohoo, the poor internet quality version is still fine enough to appreciate the animation, as getting the "official" release is probably impossible. And besides, it's not like you can buy it to give Gainax money anyway with the copyright infringements. I'd say it's perfectly fine to download, as it was a public work to be begin with.
I'd also say that it's obscurity is becoming less because of the internet as well, though it hardly matters. Most new anime fans these days haven't seen anything older than Eva, and if they did, it was probably either AKIRA or some Miyazaki film. There's still tons of older OVAs out that there that people don't talk about much, one of them I'm showing the first two episodes of in my club tomorrow, on VHS from our university's library: Dominion Tank Police. |

Screw that. Someone lend me $7000. If I had that much on hand right now I wouldn't even blink at dropping it on this.
I stand corrected. Indeed he did. |
