KSS Films (Japan)

(1990-2003)
MThQxEp-N7o

Logo: On a black background, 4 colored balls of light, colored red, green, blue, and yellow, emerge from the edges of the screen and fly about as the camera zooms out in-between silver blades. The camera then pulls back and then pulls itself straight up, revealing a whole tower of the blades and a brown light ball emerges. The camera then goes back down to the lowest levels of the blade towers and then goes through blades with more angular edges and then starts to rotate around. The balls continue flying until the camera fully revolves around and then zooms back to reveal the blades are actually the silver abstract letters "KSS", rotating forwards to face the screen as a line comes in from the left and "FILMS" in a thin, spaced-out font comes in from the right. As they slide in, the balls come back and then settle onto the logo (the red on on the top of the "K", the yellow on top and blue on bottom of the 1st "S" respectively, and then the green and brown balls on the 2nd "S"). They glow brightly, turning into squares as the logo flattens into 2D.

Variant: A still version exists.

FX/SFX: The camera flying, the balls flying around, the logo forming.

Music/Sounds: A dreamy synth chime tune.

Availability: Rare. It can be spotted on film and anime DVD releases from the company. This includes English dubs from Anime Works, U.S. Manga Corps, Central Park Media, and ADV Films. It was seen on Variable Geo, Judge, Battle Angel: Alita, Voogie's Angel, and a Japanese-subtitled VHS of Project: Metalbeast, among others. It also appeared on the 2006 Right Stuf release of Comic Party, despite being defunct by that time.

Editor's Note: None.
