Harmagedon Genma Taisen 1983 – By Back To The 80s 2

Harmagedon: Genma Wars (幻魔大戦 ‒ハルマゲドン‒, Genma Taisen: Harumagedon) is a science fiction anime movie released in 1983, based largely on the first Genma Wars volumes. The movie was directed by Rintaro, with character designs by Katsuhiro Otomo. Madhouse produced the animation.

Keith Emerson was hired as the music director and composer of the ending theme. “Children of the Light” is the ending theme for Harmagedon, composed and sung by Rosemary Butler, Keith Emerson and others.

The Genma Wars movie has been available in the US as Harmagedon on VHS and Laserdisc since 1992 and has been released on DVD twice, all by Central Park Media, once as a very early, barebones, DVD release and a second time as a more robust release complete with a Rintaro commentary track.
It was 1983’s highest-grossing anime film and eighth highest-grossing Japanese film, earning a distribution rental income of ¥1.06 billion. The film’s total gross receipts were ¥1.8 billion at the Japanese box office.

Katsuhiro Otomo, who was previously known for the manga Akira (1982), was inspired to become an anime film director after his work on Harmagedon. This led to him making his directorial debut with the anime film Neo Tokyo (1987), before directing the influential 1988 anime film adaptation of Akira.
