You know, Utena hits that sweet spot of being just popular and iconic enough to still get AMVs at this day and age, but also obscure and weird enough so that it's near always quality shit with an actual idea behind it.
Me clicking this video: lmaooo the lorax Me after watching all the perfectly paired clips and how well it goes together and realising this is a really good song for akio: ....🤕
"look at me petting this puppy!" NOOOOO seriously, though, this is so good! this has always been such a meme-y song, but the ending actually gave me chills. love how well this blends the comedy and tragedy of rgu! keep up the awesome work 👍
Just wanted to say that I've been rewatching this whenever I need a burst of energy. The scenes you chose are so fitting, also ending AMV on Akio getting slap-thrown by Utena was the best choice ever made! Every single scene with Anthy and Touga makes me want to read (even more) meta about the two of them. I swear this fits Akio more than Onceler. Also adding kangaroo boxing 00:37 and cow costumes 00:30 was a such good touch - and then hitting us with the "lunch, lunch, lunch~" 00:43 - 00:52. Just like watching Utena! Also _starting_ "the principle in nature" with shadow play about Princes and Princesses!!! 00:28
this is absolutely diabolical. i love this and i cannot believe i love it so much. i am astonished by how spot-on perfect this is when it's the goddamn onceler song, but it's genuinely the best akio amv i've ever seen. i teared up and got chills
I am WILLING more views into existence for this video because it deserves them. Like I outwardly screamed watching this. Incredibly well made, funny, as well as the ominousness at the end being very well done.
UMMMMMM THIS IS SO GOOD?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! I'm obsessed with this. It fits so fucking well. It's funny, but in a tragic way. Also at the "look at me petting this puppy" part I literally gasped
I think i was too young when i watched this show, i should give it another go. Pretty sure most of the plot went over my head because i don't remember any of this
1:57 was absolutely foul I screamed irl, genius amv and also the worst thing I have ever seen, I hate him so much, I am going to send it to my friends now
Lyrics changed for Akio How ba-a-a-ad can I be? I'm just doing what comes naturally How ba-a-a-ad can I be? I'm just following my destiny How ba-a-a-ad can I be? I'm just doing what comes naturally How ba-a-a-ad can I be? How bad can I possibly be? Well there's a principle of nature (Principle of nature) That almost every creature knows Called survival of the fittest (Survival of the fittest) And check it this is how it goes The animal that eats gotta scratch And fight and claw and bite and punch And the animal that doesn't Well the animal that doesn't Winds up someone else's lu-lu-lu-lu-lunch (Munch, munch, munch, munch, munch) I'm just sayin' How ba-a-a-ad can I be? I'm just doing what comes naturally How ba-a-a-ad can I be? I'm just following my destiny How ba-a-a-ad can I be? I'm just doing what comes naturally How ba-a-a-ad can I be? How bad can I possibly be? There's a principle in business (Principle in business) That everybody knows is sound It says the people with the roses (People with the roses) Make this ever-loving world go 'round So I'm biggering my school I'm biggering my castle I'm biggering my duelists line Everybody out there, take care of yours And me? I'll take care of Mine, mine, mine, mine, mine (Shake that bottom line) Let me hear you say Smogulous smoke (Smogulous smoke) Schloppity schlop (Schloppity schlop) Complain all you want, it's never ever, ever, ever gonna stop Come on how bad can I possibly be? How ba-a-a-ad can I be? I'm just bringing revolution to the world How ba-a-a-ad can I be? Just look at me pettin' this puppy How ba-a-a-ad can I be? A portion of proceeds goes to charity How ba-a-a-ad can I be? How bad can I possibly be? Let's see (How ba-a-a-ad can I be?) All the duelers are complying (How ba-a-a-ad can I be?) And the roses's multiplying (How ba-a-a-ad can I be?) And the rose bride is lying (How ba-a-a-ad can I be?) And the staff are denying (How ba-a-a-ad can I be?) Who cares if a few students are dying? (How ba-a-a-ad can I be?) This is all so gratifying How bad... How bad can this possibly be? (I realized I didnt have to change much but idk i just felt like doing it lol)
