I used to watch this TV show as a kid. Bizzare show about an artist whose life revolves around the Jewish holidays, and who makes statues who become a live whenever he leaves his home, commanded by his talking parrot – or something like that. Now, years later, it kinda’ looks psychedelic…

Everyday Psychedelia Pt.2: Night Flights
7 AugWhenever I book a flight to a big city I try to make it a night landing. Those pulsing breathing organisms of light look so alien and soothing.
Popee The Performer is here to freak you out!
10 JulIn case you ever thought that even a bad trip has some truth to tell you, there should be more than enough truth in this show to endure its uncanny “realism”.
Please be careful watching this in any unstable condition of the mind and… enjoy!
Sailor Moon
27 JunSailor Moon is one of the super-successful Japanese anime series of the 90’s (It also has a whole franchise of manga, merchandise and other stuff). It demonstrates the popular genre of “Magical girl warrior”, in which girl warriors release their magical or psychic powers through transformation sequences that mostly include magic rituals like… changing clothes.
Yes, you heard that right. In this genre (That has already spread out of Japan), controlling supernatural magic is done by changing to the the right outfit. It’s hard to understand what is the idea behind this. Does it try to convey a commercial message? Or does it symbolize an inner mental transformation, like in “Synchronization” in Neon Genesis Evangelion (Another famed anime series from the 90’s)?
It’s only purpose is probably to look cool in the eyes of the girls that form the show’s audience. But as long as it is presented with psychedelic-like visuals of glowing colors and surreal images, it satisfies me! If you are looking for more clips like these, Youtube is just loaded with them.
Doctor Who?
20 JunWhat we are dealing with here in this batch of clips, is not the program “Doctor Who” itself, but with the various main title sequences that were produced for it since it was launchec in 1963 and were always styled with spacey/psychedelic visuals… But the program also offers some far-out ideas to fuel your imagination with (like time travel, communication with aliens, etc.)
Well, here are the opening titles from the original 1963 production, one version in black and white and one colorized version which looks even better:
And a web clip which compiles all the opening sequences from the show’s history, and provide different styles of sci-fi inspired animation:
