'''Logo''': We start on a slowly moving starfield with the earth and a red comet appears flying towards us. The comet becomes a flaming firebird, which moves and envelopes the earth. Then the earth 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 earth and a red comet appears flying towards us.

'''Availability''': Somewhat rare. First appeared on ''The Inugami Family'' (1976), the logo was presumably retired starting with the release of ''The Aimed School'' (1981), although a still version of this logo appeared on ''Legend of Eight Samurai'' (1984). 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. Fortunately, this logo is retained on the 4K BD of ''The Beast to Die'' (1980). | '''Availability''': Somewhat rare, bordering on near extinction.

'''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! | ||
