Play Comic Video (Japan)

1st Logo (1991)


Nickname: "The Japanese Palindrome Logo"

Logo: The words PLAY COMIC VIDEO streak and zoom into the frame on a black background. The logo then shines metallically a few times before becoming an outline of the letters and exploding back out of the frame.

FX/SFX: The text zooming out, the shining of the text, the text zooming back in, which looks relatively simplistic, even for the time.

Music/Sounds: A strange humming noise (apparently a sound effect from any type of anime with the examples Sailor Moon and Shinesman) sustaining itself, while being followed by a dark synth crash.

Availability: Extremely rare. Available on the hentai called Ogenki Clinic.

Editor's Note: The loud music and fast animation can be scary for some viewers.
