This was one of the very few anime movies I watched on Saturday Anime on the Sci- Fi channel back in '95 before becoming a full blown Japanese Anime fan. Really loved how Robot Carnival was created.👍

[@songohan3321]

In other words, when the Sci-Fi channel was actually good.

[@cuttlefist]

Holy shit, we are not a common enough breed. I grew up with Voltron and Speed Racer before Sci-Fi started it’s anime block, but it was the first time the idea of some animated shows and movies being different, and sure enough the adult themes and creative stories set “anime” apart from everything else I had seen as a kid. Sci-Fi started a lifelong obsession haha.

[@rcpaskus83]

This short is 80s anime. Perfection.

[@B-T619]

In my forties now...I don't partake in animes too much anymore. Seeing this brings back so much nostalgia of good times and simpler times.

[@MatthewTheWolf2029]

That red haired robot dude should have had his own series!

[@JohnnyTheWolf-d3p]

Or a video game, because let us face it: this feels so much like a FMV cutscene from a SEGA-CD/CD Engine video game where you play a cyborg on a quest to rescue your human friend from an alien slaver and their army of killer robots.

Robot Carnival was a collection of animated shorts by different renowned animation directors of the day, each based on a robot theme. Only two of the eight segments would have any proper dialog. The rest could almost be compared to Disney's Fantasia in a way. Most have a narrative through line, but a couple are really just music and visuals.

[@hieioni3354]

Everything from the 80's is automatically golden 🤙 reminds me of M.D.Guyst 👍

[@ThatGamingAsshole]

It reminds you just how much things have changed in terms of the type of animation, the look, how they tried to make things look so more distinct and I would almost say realistic back then. As opposed to now where everything just literally looks like some sort of extremely bright hyperactive cartoon. Like Looney Toons with fan service beach episodes.

This kind of 90s anime-cool aesthetic is timeless, sadly everything today looks completely nondescript and flat. Christ I miss the 90s... where is my Saturday Anime?

[@mrmosty5167]

God there were so many satisfying effects in this one: like the one bot's tentacle tearing through the floor towards the hero, the way the pirate captain points at the guy and when his eye laser sweeps across his body

[@ThatGamingAsshole]

They literally don't make them like this anymore, in fact given the type of animation used now and the bizarre Shounen Jump kind of stuff they have now, I would almost argue they can't make them like this anymore. Things like Robotech, Robot Carnival, Kimagure Orange Road, it just doesn't exist anymore.

[@Conan_the_Based]

There's a huge Casshan Robot Hunter influence in this one.

I like the animation in this. You can feel the difference between this and syndication shows. They did a good job in conveying what's going on without having any actual dialog. On a different note, can we agree that SyFy is a stupid name.

[@crencottrell7849]

Yes I agree with all of this...especially the last part. I always thought SyFy is a stupid name as well 😄

[@blackhoundrise8431]

I first came across this randomly via Neros77 music video and traced internet for this show. Found it on Crunchyroll. Fell in love with the stories and found myself falling back in love with Anime. This particular story in Robot Carnival is my favourite. Pure action. Love this animation

[@pantelisliakos2481]

So many similarities with the lensman..the musical carpets I mean mostly. This one reminds me when then "defence wheels" were chasing them. Love it!!

[@k1productions87]

It may have had members of the same animation team. Much like Starlight Angel had a lot of Gundam influence. Interesting to see different animation directors' takes on the robot theme

[@sonicguyver7445]

This was an all time favorite. Awesome music and fantastic action. I would daydream this with the characters replaced with Sonic characters. The hero is Sonic, and his roboticized version (from issue 39), the damsel as Sally Acorn, and the villian as Monkey Kahn.

[@yeoedwin1619]

One of the anime that deserve 3D and 4K Remaster with Dolby Atmos or Dolby Vision sound system, and deserves to be re-released in IMAX 3D and 4DX. This is the must see Sci-fi Anthology Anime if you are into anthology like : Love Death + Robots, The Animatrix, Heavy Metal, The Twilight Zone, Star Wars Vision, Batman Gotham Knight. Robot Carnival deserves sequel.

[@k1productions87]

There is a lot of other good stuff. The problem is only when your exposure to it is from a singular source, or whatever happens to be popular in a certain region. In Japan, the market is so broad that it is incredibly unfair (if not absolutely disingenuous) to label it all with a single descriptor. So much good stuff slipped through the cracks in favor of what was more likely to sell, and some would never see the light of day in most countries. It is very unfortunate indeed. Golden rule though, never go only by mainstream popularity. Even back then it was horribly skewed.
