Green Bunny

Background: Green Bunny is a Japanese animation company that specializes in the production of hentai OVAs. It is a subdivision of Japanese corporation Happinet, owned by Namco Bandai Holdings. The company has ceased to exist as of July 3rd, 2006. Meanwhile, the official site suddenly disappeared. They have about 40 series.

1st Logo (1990s-1997) Green Bunny (1990's)

Nickname: "The Pink Panties", "Mahou G-String"

Logo: On a black background, we see an outline of a woman's buttocks wearing a pink G-string. Then, the words "GREEN BUNNY" fly in to the top-left hand corner, leaving residue trails.

FX/SFX: The words flying in.

Music/Sounds: A rising series of high-pitched synthesized "twinkles", which sounds like that one in the Walt Disney Television "Abstract Castle" logo.

Availability: Can possibly be seen on hentai releases from the company. It was also seen on a Media Blasters DVD release of a censored version of Kite.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (1997-2006) Green Bunny (1997)

Nickname: "The Chibi Bunnies", "Exploding Bunnies", "Part Bunny Part Ball"

Logo: On a black background, a green ball approaches the screen. The ball is then revealed to be part of a bunny; then it gets a bit far. Drawings of similar bunnies, in various colors, appear moving in around the screen and then explode into dust. The main bunny begins to glow brighter and explodes, causing a logo of a stylized "G" with an arrow to zoom in. Then various other bunnies like the main one from before appear and form one-by-one the words "GREEN BUNNY" in an arc, and disappear. The logo shines.

FX/SFX: The animation of the bunnies, the explosions, the logo shining.

Music/Sounds: A soft airy sound, followed by a soft hit. An ascending synth sound then plays, with some quiet popping noises, then a beam sound when the main bunny explodes. "Pew" sounds when the bunnies form the text. Then a bell synth ditty when the logo shines.

Availability: Like the 1st logo it can be seen on some hentai releases from the company. This can be also seen on Media Blasters DVD releases of them, most notably Mezzo-Forte.

Editor's Note: None.
