It's Daicon III/IV's 41st and 43rd anniversary today! (kinda)
Did you know there is no single complete list of every reference in Daicon IV on the internet?
I thought compiling a list of all the references present in both, no matter how obscure they are, could a fun thread idea and something a little different.
/a/ is the only place on the internet with enough concentrated autism and enough knowledge about japanese children's entertainment from 50 years ago to be up to this challenge.
So I spent around 6 hours going frame-by-frame through the openings and marking every reference I could make out with a number.
All in all I counted 15 references in Daicon III and 432 references in Daicon IV I couldn't name myself. I mostly took care of the very obvious stuff, but left things in where
I wasn't sure about the specifics, like a specific model of a speceship for example.
At some point the references became so dense that I started only putting numbers, due to sheer space issues.
The idea of the thread is that I'll post screenshots from the openings, with the references marked with red numbers.
If you think you can identify one of the references, reply to the post with the number of the thing you're identifying and an image of your answer as "proof".
Genral discussion of the Openings, DAICON FILMS' history and further projects, as well as the things they're referencing is also permitted.
