PACIFIC RIM Awesomely Re-Imagined as an Old-School Anime

At one point, it didn't look like Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim 2 was going to happen. Then Daredevil showrunner Steven S. DeKnight was hired to take over for del Toro in the director's chair as del Toro went to pursue other projects.

There was also an animated series that was supposed to be developed along with the movie, but that fell apart and unfortunately, it's no longer happening. 

Thanks to Jeremie Carreon, we get a little taste of what that might have been like in the form of an anime. He created an awesome title sequence for a non-existent series that I wish existed.

This short video did a great job of getting me excited to see more giant robots fighting giant monsters in the upcoming sequel.

A Pacific Rim title sequence inspired by the retro mech anime genre. This was animated in Photoshop and After effects.
