'''Logo''': We start on a slowly moving starfield with the Moon and a red comet appears flying towards us. The comet becomes a flaming firebird, which moves and envelopes the moon. Then the moon explodes into a bright blue splash and suddenly, the early Kadokawa bird pops up, with the name in Japanese ("角川春樹事務所作品", lit. "a work of the Haruki Kadokawa office") or English ("HARUKI KADOKAWA presents") zooming in below. | '''Logo''': We start on a slowly moving starfield with the Moon and a red comet appears flying towards us.

* This logo may appear in a 4:3 format, or a widescreen format. The latter appears on ''The Beast To Die''. | |||
* On a foreign print of ''G.I. Samurai'', the logo plays out normally but after the bright splash, a custom-made title card for the movie appears instead (The card refers to the movies as ''Time Slip'', which is the alternate, foreign title for the movie). | |||
'''FX/SFX''': The moving comet, bird, and splash. Incredibly beautifully detailed hand-drawn animation. | '''FX/SFX''': The moving comet, bird, and splash. Incredibly beautifully detailed hand-drawn animation. | ||

'''Availability''': | '''Availability''': Somewhat rare. First appeared on ''The Inugami Family'', the logo was presumably retired starting with the release of ''The Aimed School''. This logo may or may not be plastered by the Kadokawa Shoten logo (or no logo may even appear at all) on some newer prints of the films this logo originally appeared on, contributing to its' rather limited availability. | ||
'''Editor's Note''': The animation is very splendid, all that effort (especially for a logo) certainly paid off as it creates a sense of awe for the viewers! | '''Editor's Note''': The animation is very splendid, all that effort (especially for a logo) certainly paid off as it creates a sense of awe for the viewers! | ||
