Robot Carnival Opening
It would seem that there aren’t many die hard fans of this anime out there but luckily I’m one of ‘em! Robot Carnival was one of the first animes that I remember seeing. I guess I first saw it when I was about 9 and admittedly I didn’t get what most of the shorts in this film were trying to say. Actually, I still don’t get some of them. Most of them have messages in them, the message of the opening and ending being “The pomp and grandure of today will be the destruction of tomorrow.” Or … um … Something like that! ^_^’ Anyway, please enjoy Robot Carnival.
This ws my first anime that I watched
さすが福島敦子！でしたっけか。上手いですね！
My dad, mom and sister were all crushed under the tracks that day. I was gone on a trip to Ontario, Canada. I think i would be happier now if i would have died with them.
anime its the best thing ever, manga its far beyond.
wow! i remember this as a kid! i watched this with my cousins, and i was blown away. it was my intro to animes, and i loved animes ever since xD

Thank you so much for posting this! I first saw it on SciFi Channel in the early 90s and taped it from there but I’ve about wore that tape out. I’ve been wanting to get a copy somewhere but even thought I haven’t found one, I can enjoy it here.
@Endisaster You might try looking around for a functional VCR or Beta player. that is what Robot carnival was originally released on.
As to the film itself, a collective of artists, pretty much the finest of thier era, was put together and given a free reign task of each creating a short with only one stipulation. The short had to deal with robots. I wound up with a copy I have since worn out over the years by begging and pleading for my mom to buy it. I was 7-8 then, I’m 31 now.
I .. I just became a die hard fan. I need robot carnival in my collection that doesn’t exist.
But it will start to exist WHEN I BUY THIS * U *
I’m flabbergasted that this hasn’t been heralded as ONE OF THE MASTERPIECES et cetera. Every little thing I’ve seen from robot carnival has been wonderful. I’m almost reluctant to watch it before I buy it. But I need to find it in good quality!
I remember watching this on the Sci-Fi channel (at least I think it was the Sci-Fi channel… not sure) back in the mid to late 80s real late at night and it was confusing as all hell but I enjoyed watching it. Didn’t know that all the shows were Robot Carnival, I just thought it was random artists showing off their good work.
Destroction never looked so fun
Any film that opens with the title screen appearing and destroying civilization has to be great
not much of any die hard fans? thats too bad? actually thats even better only a few get to enjoy the splendor, think about it.
Wow, the robot apocalypse is beautifully choreographed.
I Fell In-Love with this Shit YEARS ago…,!!!!!!
I Agree with GreenBeardsRevenge.
As a matter of fact, I think that Ghost in the Shell, Gunn Mu, Rock Man, Gundam, Heavy Metal, etc might have been my inspirations for pursuing engineering in the first place. ( A bit sad and disturbing really.)
@Entity4two I like some of the new stuff but some times it can get too zany. Then again I am biased towards the cyberpunk, Scifi, and robot anime. I also like the rustic feel that the animation of the 80’s and 90’s. The robots had just the right amount of technical detail. I study mechatronics so this is especially appealing to me.
While this technically wasn’t the first anime I ever saw (Saban’s “Grimm’s FairyTale Classics” and “Li’lbits” on NickJr would be), it’s the first one I watched that was introduced as such. The seeds of Adult Swim were sewn…
@GreenBeardsRevenge I keep wondering the same thing! It would have made perfect sense to re-release R.C. when the compilation film “Memories” came out.
Are the powers that be concerning these things reading this?
