(Late 1980s?-1990)

Logo: On a blue to black gradient background, we see a gold outline of the Nikkatsu"Abstract N" logo zooming in and leaving a trail. The trail catches up to the outline and causes a flash, filling the outline with gold. The hiragana text "にっかつ" ("Nikkatsu") appears, and the logo shines, the surface of the gold "N" ripples a bit.

Technique: Scanimation.

Music/Sounds: A calm 17-note decending synth theme.

Availability: Seen on some home video releases of Nikkatsu's films, including the Shuto Kosoku Trial series, Destiny to Order, User Friendly, and the 1990 Night of the Living Dead remake, among others.
