i swear i've been checking for fiona apple amvs on here all the time not sure how i didnt see this until 3 months later but awesome. perfect combination
I love RU-vid so much this made me wanna cry with how incredibly this video intersects two of my biggest interests. My girlfriend showed me Utena and I absolutely loved it so I’m gonna show her this to introduce her to the fandubs, which are some of my favorite pieces of media (she sees me watch compilations of them sometimes and is skeptical but surely this will change her mind). Thank u internet.
i know this is older but i was randomly recommended this so i got to check it out & its really good augh. like a lot of the clips you chose but the way you used the knife throwing student council scene, the bird hitting the window, and the transition from shiori glancing to the side to and from the locket photo was really great. love ur work as always <3
thank you so much!!!!! though this is an oldie and i think it shows a little, im still sososo fond of this one. it's one of my favourite songs of all time tbh, and pairing it with the emotional potency that is juri's arc.... man. always appreciate your comments and the thought that goes into them btw, it's a joy to see you in my notifs <3
@@heartslobbf<3!!! glad to hear it, i always love to watch your videos & write up my reactions about them. TBQH i tend to revisit them a lot so im grateful for ur work :)
enamoured by all of the lc! fans that dont know rgu and all the rgu fans that dont know lc! in the comments of this one. trying my best to make the venn diagram a circle o7
apart from this being one of my favorite amvs that i rewatch all the time, im so glad that you put accurate subtitles on it! im always saddened when i watch a good amv in which i assume the lyrics matter but im hard of hearing and cant tell what they’re saying, so thank you so much for putting the effort in and for helping keep the utena fandom alive and amazing!
oh thank you!!!! im so glad to hear that the subtitles are appreciated, they dont take me very long at all but it’s always nice to know that they’re actually actively helping people. thank you again :)
gotta add on to this on my side (utena) account some more specific comments bc this amv deserves it 1:20 - "one man's dream is another man's death" acknowledging the way the princehood ideal can only function in parallel to anthy's abuse. followed up by their 'body swap' episode where the tone of the episode itself (wacky hijinks!!!) is a formal reflection of utena's own wishful ignorance of the more distressing realities of walking a day in anthys' shoes ("didn't know what to say so I just laughed") immediately followed by a cut to one of the most devestating and revealing scenes in the show, when utena finally sees. 2:04 throwing up. 2:20 screaming. "oh it hurts to hope for more." HELLO. and ending on a shot of their hands such a utena edit staple but it's because it fucking works my heart is very full. this is one of my top 3 utena amvs of all time
oh wow…… thank you for such kind and considered praise, really, it’s making me all emotional :’) nice to see the ridiculous amount of thought i put into these things recognised and analysed. thank you again, really <3
nanami's "i feel like... it's gonna be at least 18" is SO cunty of her exactly what she would say in the show. she saw through akio's bullshit immediately and was like "wow you're a freak. i'm transferring schools peace out". the realest
when i saw this in my recommended i audibly exclaimed "oh god not door". its the most raw and vulnerable mitski song, its even hard to listen to cuz it feels like ur not supposed to. and GOD it fits anthy so well. this is so wonderful im gonna frow up /pos
completely unthinkable that this has less than 10k views. this amv is legendary to me. one of my favorite utena amvs and absolutely my favorite nanami amv. the freaking TOUGA/ANTHY PARALLELS. and the callback to the shadow play girls sequence from the very beginning. its so good
oh thank you so much, really, it means a lot. this is one of my personal favourites but it never really shone compared to some of my others, so when people find and enjoy it as much as i do it makes me very happy. thanks again for that, really really really <3
ouch. this was so well done, but ouch. i love how you included a bunch of characters, even subtly (kanae, touga, even kozue). i really really like the ending. i had never really seen these shots used in an utena amv before, it felt like a perfect conclusion to this whole thing. this amv feels like such a good deep dive into the show's hardest topic to handle. you did a wonderful job
oh thank you so much!!!!! really, that means a lot because i spent almost a Year agonising over how to make this amv actually be affecting and also true to the show. this one was very important to me, and the ending. yeah. really proud of that part tbh. it’s like. this amv isn’t ~about~ akio, so it can’t end with him. but ending it with a straightforward ‘look at utena and anthy reaching for each other’ thing also felt, to me, too easy. so we have the destruction of everything, humanity’s hatred cutting into all for once and Not Just Anthy. for her, you know? (though, the title applies equally to utena imho) thank you again :)
GREAT reference to the fact of when they were originally going to bring the series stateside they wanted to rename the show "Ursula's Kiss" with Utena being changed to Ursula. Very slick.
I am SHRIEKINH this is one of my favorite albums and this song beautifully articulates not the details but the same feeling of some of my experiences, and I've always loved it for RGU but AAAAAAA YOU DID IT SUCH BEAUTIFUL JUSTICE HERE, I AM VERKLEMPT
aaaaaaa thank you sososo much!!! you and me like this 🤝 about this song and album as a whole fr fr fr fr. this comment made me so damn happy and just like. glad. that this resonates with other people. so thank you again honestly. means so much i cannot begin to express <33
wow thank you so much !! the 1 year anniversary for this video is rapidly approaching and it's getting me all emotional, so this comment is just the chrrey on top of that. thanks again :)
1:50 gave me a pit in my stomach. Actually, the whole song did. As usual, you’ve caused my brain to revert back to it’s natural state of thinking about nothing other than RGU with this AMV. Always loving your work ❤️
not sure i have much to say here articulately, but this was very well-done, very well-edited. it gave me a rather visceral reaction the first time i watched - i’d not heard this song before. great work as always.
