No, that's what's playing in this flash. I mean what was the original audio that this animation
was set to?

It was set to ELO originally. It gained a big cult status in japan among anime fans.

There was no original audio sadly.

No, it really was originally set to Twilight by ELO. That's why it has never been officially
released on a DVD or something--they can't get the copyright for the song.

I do believe that if Gainax really wanted they could get authorisation for it now.

He meant if there was any other audio than ELO like if there was any sound of explosions and shit.

It was just the music, nothing else. The Daicon III opening had sound effects though, but this
one does not.

I wonder if they really could. I mean, the bigger problem is that none of the people who made
this are left at Gainax, but if they wanted to make some sort of Gainax reunion Bluray with the
DAICON shorts on it...
I wonder who own's ELO's music these days. If it were up to the artists, I bet they could be
convinced to license it out if they could be made to understand how important the DAICON shorts
are to so many people (in the sense that anime is important to so many people, and that this
short is essentially the collective grandparent of all the anime to come in the next decades).

You also have to fight the Playboy company too for use of their costume without permission.

I can't believe that is really an issue. I know that's what it says on Wikipedia, but countless
other anime since then have featured "bunny girl" costumes without legal repercussions. Besides,
literally every single frame of the shorts contains dozens of parodies and references to not only
popular anime of its day, but also to tons of western media franchises. The "Bunny suit" is far
from the most "blatant" reference.
But parody is allowed anyway. You are allowed to incorporate other people's trademarks in
incidental roles for the sake of parody, that's fair use.
Like for instance, if it only included a short sample of the ELO song instead of the whole thing,
they wouldn't need anyone's permission to show it and even sell it (and there are even some
precedents confirming exactly what counts as a "short" sample).

It's a bunch of otaku actually getting off their asses, making something, forming a studio, and
then making a multi-million dollar anime show.
