New-school AMVs based off old-school anime?

Post by mbanu »

While my personal favorite style of AMV uses the extended versions of songs from the OST (like this one for Akira: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77zU5JMOqUg) not every vintage anime has a soundtrack that has aged equally well. (^_^;)

I like to believe that new-school AMVs can help break through that resistance barrier that makes so many folks reluctant to check out older shows; as an example, I think this Riding Bean AMV may have helped generate the buzz to get the Kickstarter project off the ground: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1NAhlVRaZ4

A current favorite, encouraging folks to check out the original Dirty Pair Project Eden: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cKL7J-mNVU

Do you have any favorite new-school AMVs that feature old-school anime?

I had to go digging for it, but one of the last amvs I remembered liking was this short Gunsmith Cats one: https://youtu.be/mV_SxdwLWq0

I made an Armitage III amv a while bad & purposely tried using music that was a bit newer & less mainstream to make it more interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gScsWYNhp5A

Since it was my first attempt at one, its not perfect... But I'm still pretty proud I actually finished it. :lol:

"Be sure to change the quality before starting video" :lol:

Try as one might, there is no way to make Armitage III look good with any of the existing sources. I have the recent Funi DVD and it's still bad! This OVA really needs a seriously remastered re-release in Japan!

I'll make a confession, I made AMVs in my early anime fan days in high school. I used good ol (un)reliable Windows Movie Maker to do my stuff back on my parents Windows xp DELL computer. So all it took was whatever I had downloaded from Kazaa/the internet and plugged it up and made whatever I wanted.

So here is my channel going back over a decade at this point: https://www.youtube.com/user/ZeonicFreak/videos

I should note, my only video to be removed was my Record of Lodoss War AMV i had posted on youtube, and it got attention from the drummer from Bal Sagoth (which I picked a song from them in the video) who left a comment on my channel about it. Within a year, some licensing company in Italy put in a request to remove my video, and I haven't bothered to re-upload it since then. I probably should, since im sure I can find it on my external HD somewhere.

Lol! I should remove that from the description. That was back before YT automatically played stuff in the best definition it could & you had to CHOOSE to watch something in higher quality. :lol:

This is true. The newer DVDs are only a slight upgrade from the original releases. I assume it was way more popular here than in Japan, tho, so idk if they'd ever bother with a BD release.

A modern AMV for "The Running Man" with over 3 million views! That's impressive in a bunch of different ways, to be honest. (^_^) Hopefully it will encourage more folks to see Neo-Tokyo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mauV2NdCs60

I thought this one was pretty slick: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66vOMvaDVZ0

Even though Sailor Moon is part of the anime zeitgeist now, I think that it still takes a bit of work to convince people that a 25-year-old anime aimed at early teen girls is something worth checking out for everybody. (^_^)

Oh that's probably my fave Maria Takeuchi song! An interesting choice for a Sailor Moon SuperS movie amv

Watching this reminded me of another SuperS amv I saw few years ago. I thought it was really well edited! https://youtu.be/nmqqwrxzUN0
