Daikon IV was the 23rd Annual Japan SF Convention held in Osaka in 1983, screening the above animation by Daicon Film. Daicon Film was formed in the early 1980s by university students Hideaki Anno, Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, Hiroyuki Yamaga, Takami Akai, Toshio Okada, Yasuhiro Takeda and Shinji Higuchi. Their first project was an animated short for the 20th Annual Japan SF Convention, also known as Daicon III (shown in the first part of the video above, 0:00 to 1:30). The 1983 Daicon IV short firmly established them as a talented new anime studio. The studio changed its name to Gainax in 1985, basing the term Gainax on an obscure Tottori Prefecture term for "giant", with the English x added because it sounded "good and was international."
