 From what I've read, Vega served as the inspiration for the Guyver. God, I saw this when the Sci-Fi channel have their Saturday anime block and even back then I thought this film was cheesy. Eh, maybe I'll pick it up next time I'm in a convention from one place that sells OOP DVD's and such. I'm too afraid my memory of it will be right.  Wow...what an interesting hidden gem. I've never heard of this film before until yesterday (compliments from DAP-DX). You know from a moment there I could've sworn that anime got co-directed by Don Bluth. For some reason this anime just has that Don Bluth feeling to it. It's pretty weird once you think about it. I wonder if Rintaro's animation style for that movie influenced Bluth's work such as 'Dragon's Lair' or 'Titan A.E.' for that matter. -R78 
I guess if Bluth had the balls to end the movie the way it is, then yes, he could do it! Seriously, hearing of how this film ends makes brings out the phrase in my mind, "But at what price?" Yeah, they defeated the baddie, but now they've got a huge mess-hole of a planet to mop up, let alone prevent themselves from starving to death if there's no plant/animal life left to exploit (or else they'll use their powers to solve that too).
Who knows (Dragon's Lair came out in '83 mind you, not sure if he even knew of Rintaro or seen any of his work yet like the GE999 movie). Speaking of Bluth, in the tradition of Dragon's Lair, Cliff Hanger and Super Don Quix-ote, Harmageddon's footage found it's way onto a LaserDisc-based video game called "Bega's Battle" around '83/84. Here's some footage of it's clunky play! Course the same thing happened with Galaxy Express 999 too! Gotta love the 80's! Course I don't want to knock Bluth that badly. I think the best thing he did was Secret of NIMH, if only for it's dark, chilling scenes (just got a couple cels in from All Dogs Go To Heaven, especially one of Charlie getting choked by one of Carface's thugs)! I think he works best if he didn't take flak from the usual production backers to tone down certain things (I still felt Titan AE needed better writing). |
