Mitternacht - A Hiei, Kurama, Yusuke Character Tribute

[dawn98silver]

I still watch this show every summer... This AMV... IT IS AMAZING! I am not worthy LOL *Worships Blue*

[Blueutopiah]

@dawn98silver AJHGSJAGSJGJAGSJ STOP IT NOW. But really, thank you, I do accept worship.

[hihihidddd]

This is just so amazing! Blue is the coolest gal in the world, I know the moment I see her name that greatness will follow :D

[Blueutopiah]

@hihihidddd Your worship of me makes me happy. Cake for you.

[Zephyr666Duh]

at 1:14 is hiei cutting his own hand off or something? What episode is that from? 

[Blueutopiah]

@Zephyr666Duh It's in episode 100 "The Secret of the Jagan", right at the end of the Hiei/Shigure fight when Hiei is training in Mukuro's dungeons.

[doggygotgame]

Oh. My. God. This makes me want to watch YuYuHakusho all over again SO bad...

[Blueutopiah]

@doggygotgame Thank you! That means my AMV is doing what it's supposed to!

[doggygotgame]

@Blueutopiah It definetly is! :D Where did you get this song? I can't find it on iTunes and i want it oh so badly...

[Blueutopiah]

@doggygotgame Type "E Nomine Mitternacht Mediafire" into google and you'll find a download for it.

[doggygotgame]

@Blueutopiah Thanks :)

[ejslick2004]

i love this vid. i wish they made trailers like this. i have friends who think the anime looks lame. they like bleach naruto and one piece but wont bother with this

[Blueutopiah]

@IyasuVonRena Awww, thanks!

[fallenangel9413]

That was epic. I literally couldn't tear my eyes off of the screen. Not that I wanted to do that, of course.

[Blueutopiah]

@fallenangel9413 It's comments like your that make all the time I put into this worth it. Thanks!

[LycanthropySayajin]

that was epic man!!! yeah! :)

[Blueutopiah]

@LycanthropySayajin Thank you!

[Mikastarlight]

UNF I watch this music video at least twice a week. :D

[Blueutopiah]

@Mikastarlight UNF, I need more pics of you for my altar.

[SatanStoleMyThrone]

ffffffffffffff I think this is the bajillionth time i've watched this amv lol you do the show justice and I'm seriously missing my dvds...which are at home...8 hours away... DAMN YOU COLLEGE!!!!!! Thank god youtube has the entire series lol

[Blueutopiah]

@SatanStoleMyThrone Thank you so much! It does my heart good to hear that people are watching this over and over. And you have the coolest username BTW.

[SatanStoleMyThrone]

@Blueutopiah Ha no problemo, thanks! It's hard when all the new animes (*coughNarutocough*) are spawning and classics like yyh get forgotten, though it's even worse what they did to Dbz on cartoon network lol censoring is painful to watch XD I think it would make my life If you added more yyh amvs ;D maybe a little yusukexhiei? lol

[Blueutopiah]

@SatanStoleMyThrone Hey, I have no problem with Yusuke/Hiei, they just don't have a lot of "together" footage. I say we throw some yaoi doujinshi in there too.

[SatanStoleMyThrone]

@Blueutopiah XD yes please, though of course there doesn't seem to be much of that either :/ hmm I must remedy this lol

[seedmodekira]

i was at that animazement and my jaw just droped at how awesomely epic this video is. and yes there was alot of cheering and applauding at this video, mostly me lol.

[Blueutopiah]

@seedmodekira Awww, thank you! I really had no idea they were going to make me go up and speak when I won, I was so nervous!

[SesshomaruGirl2468]

is this song in german?

[mayhmong]

I live like 2 hours away from Durham NC! Can't believe I miss it! I can already hear the crowds cheering and applauding this epic masterpiece!

[JaganshiChelsea]

I must say that this video will always be the way I learned this song. This is one of the best vids I've ever seen PERIOD. I mean it's just....WOW....I've liked this vid since I found it by accident that fateful day somewhere before your birthday last year...

[Blueutopiah]

@JaganshiChelsea  Thank you! I worked so hard on this it makes me feel so great when someone loves it so much. Yu Yu Hakusho needs more love!

[charllotte36]

aaaahhh... i keep on watching this.. this is awsome!!! i wonder what program is used... this is great.. ^-^ *star for you* kurama and hiei are so cute.. ^_^

[DarkPrince345]

@charllotte36 the program is in the description

[charllotte36]

@DarkPrince345 thanks... ^_^

[Blueutopiah]

@charllotte36 Thank you! And Kurama and Hiei ARE cute. YES.

[DarkPrince345]

oh and 5 people were blinded by the pure unfiltered awesomeness that is this video and pushed the dislike button in their haste to push the like button

[DarkPrince345]

hey I just wanted to say...

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!

Anyway now that I got that off my chest, I don't believe that I could adiquately portray just how kickass these three are. So I would like your permission to mabye use this video as part of a series of vids I'm going to be making for a set of 1000 of the ultimate badasses of all time(at least the ones that I know of). the end result being a fan trailer for a movie where they all fight it out and a fan fiction of said fights.

[TheRebornChild]

i see why it won

[DBZEmu100]

Kurama, the Best!!!

[InuHakusho7]

can you please make more YYH vids?

[Blueutopiah]

@InuHakusho7 HAHAHAHA. I'll try to make one for the 2011 con season. YYH never gets old.

[KayuraYukishiro]

AWESOME!!!! As a huge YYH fan I must say that it´s perfect. It brought me back great memories. Your job is amazing! I´ll dream about it tonight! ah ah!

[Blueutopiah]

@KayuraYukishiro Thank you so much for your kind comment!

[Andrivette]

Oh my GOODNESS woman! This AMV is absolutely AMAZING! I love both the song and the anime, I never would have thought of putting them together, but you did a fantastic job! Everything goes so perfectly. Wow, just wow. <3 Definitely one of my new favorite videos!

[Blueutopiah]

@Andrivette  Thank you so much! I put so much of my heart into this - it was the YYH AMV that i always thought needed to be made and I was seeing it in my head every time I listened to the song.

[Blueutopiah]

@jinnyboy8 Thank you so much! You just gave me the best comment ever.

[onewaytosavetheday]

That was actually pretty epic.

[TheWarriorofDestiny]

video is still best xD

[NejixHinataFan]

I love this... it's so awesome! I especially LOVE this song so much and I feel as though it truly connects to the characters. I love the Hiei part (I'm also obsessed with Hiei) Just that Mukuro part made me... lol!! I got envious, but I really love the AMV. It's so awesome and full with impact!

Blueutopiah you sure are amazing!

[Blueutopiah]

@NejixHinataFan Thank you!

[TheWarriorofDestiny]

keep watching it x3

[Blueutopiah]

You're the bomb! Thanks for watching so much!

[TheWarriorofDestiny]

favorite amv x3

[TheWarriorofDestiny]

Mitternacht!!!! x3

[Blueutopiah]

And props to you for being another rude commenter. You'vce just been blocked.

[AnjuSaitenKurada]

I think this is the most intense Tribute AMV that I've ever witnessed. I've never heard any German songs before this, and this is definitely a wonderful song. Exactly what I'm into. The scene clips were perfectly placed on beat with the song, and I'm sure that took a lot of patients. O congradualte you on a job well done, and I hope to see some more like this real soon.

[Blueutopiah]

Thank you for the lovely comment. Yes, it did take a lot of patience but I'm very into both the song and the show and I was seeing certain parts of the AMV in my head for a few months before I edited it. Glad you liked the song too, it's one of my favourites!

[UandMIP]

THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST BADASS AMV'S I'VE EVER SEEN!!! Makes me want to go fight with someone. Freakin' epic.

[Blueutopiah]

Thank you so much!

[RedBloodedWings]

way cool i like your overlay with the fights it just maks it

;p

[tsukiyo777]

T-this. D:

Make no mistake, I love YYH a lot even though I disliked the length to some degree, lack of awesome plot, and animation. But this. You made me completely forget everything I ever disliked about YYH and instead have brought backwards in time back into the fandom again. I find myself with the burning need to watch all the episodes now since I actually haven't done so yet ( BLASPHEMY! ). .... I-I hate you. D:

[kenshingirlxoxo652]

the video was totally and completely awsome but im not too crazy about the song no offence!

[DarkFlameHiei1]

you did me justic

big props to u

[akalilLyn]

OKAY, YOU SAID BADASS? THIS WAS AND STILL IS BADASS. OH MY GOD. I NEED TO WATCH THIS OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

And while Hiei and Yusuke were busy being tough and awesome, Kurama was busy being the fandom bicycle AND STILL LOOKING MACHO. ALRIGHT. ALRIGHT. <3 <3 <3 I loved this. So much.

[Blueutopiah]

ALL THE BOIS ON THAT SHOW ARE BADASS (and gay for each other whut).

THAT WAS THE POINT ABOUT KURAMA. I WANTED HIM TO LOOK MANLY AND AWESOME EVEN THOUGH HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO FIGHT WITHOUT TAKNG A STOMACH WOUND AND NEEDING HIEI OR YUSUKE OR KUWABARA OR KARASU TO "HEAL" HIM. He is such a bicycle with a red seat.

YOU ARE MY NEW PLAYTOY. COME OVER.

[JaganshiChelsea]

I'm a Kurama fan! And this is a very fine video! (got the translation? I don't speak german)

And I've been a yu yu fan since day one. So have alot of my friends

[TheWarriorofDestiny]

woooooot D= nice AMV. i like this kind of raw stuff. original :D

[Blueutopiah]

Thank you!

[HakuSpeedle509]

OMG THat was sooooo awesome!!!^^

[Blueutopiah]

Thank you very much!

[OculusDraconis]

Ah I voted for this one at Connecticon. I'm sad to say it didn't win. I mean I was thinking even if Avatar wins like best action that YYH coulda won best video. Sadly no! I loved it regardless.

[Blueutopiah]

Thank you so much for voting for me! I do think the Avatar and the X-Files videos were amazing and derevsed to beat me, and unfortunately, FMA is more popular than YYH so I wasn't surprised that won. But I'm so thrilled you voted and found me on YouTube.

The Connecticon AMV contest only inspired me to make another kick ass AMV. I think the next on is going to be Bleach.

[OculusDraconis]

You're very welcome. YYH happens to be one of my most favorite anime's. I remember yelling out during the con "I HATE YOU YOMI!" lmfao when he came on screen. XDD But yeah you're right FMA is more popular if they showed YYH on adult swim again it would be more popular -rolls eyes- I'm happy I found this video actually. I wasn't sure how it was labeled. The others were like Connecticon Finalist etc etc.

I'm looking forward to the bleach one :3 Good luck!

[Blueutopiah]

I wanted to label it ConnectiCon finalist, but I won at Animazement and I'm entering it into other cons so I don't want to make people too confused with the title. :D

I LOOOOOVVVVEEEE YYH. And you can join my husband in your Yomi hatred. He can't stand Yomi either - says he reminds him of his Dad. :D :D

I really appreciate you commenting though - it's so great to find other YYH fans, especially since the anime is over 15 years old now.

[OculusDraconis]

Where is animazement? :D

I love YYH so much too. XDD I just don't like Yomi cuz he annoys me. In the English version he sounds like an old man. I mean I sort of like him when he's fighting Yusuke. But! Other than that his like blackmailing Kurama (even though he made him blind but he deserved it!) annoys me. I'm like GO AWAY YOMI! >_> Yomi would need a mustache to remind me of my dad lol

No problem! It's hard to find fans :D especially with younger anime fans D: cuz it's old but it's epic!

[yumechan10261]

Hey! This is Heather, the one who sat with you at ConnectiCon! (The one with the Gin Enzyte amv) Sorry you didn't win, but you totally deserved to!

[Blueutopiah]

Thank you sweetie! I just got back from my vacation so I'm sorry I didn't get back to you until now.

I thought your video shoudl have won also! I mean, I was laughing about that all day!

Mind if I friend you on here? Also, do you have a Livejournal?

[yumechan10261]

Of course not! ^^ As for now, i dont have a Live Journal. What is that?

[Blueutopiah]

Live Journal is a blogging site that gives you your own blog (it's free) and it's big with fandom. If you like Bleach, there are tons of communities where you can talk with other people who like Bleach. It's really a lot of fun.

[insomniabelow]

I saw this at Connecticon today, and it completely blew me away. Great job!

[Blueutopiah]

Thank you so much! I had a blast at Connecticon, so much to do there!

[RedBloodedWings]

sooo good i like the vid and the song it just sounded very good :) love Yu Yu Hakusho

[Blueutopiah]

Thank you!

[yintsunami]

I <3 this vid.

[GTJupLei7]

That was insanely incredible!!! Easily the best AMV I've Ever seen.

[Blueutopiah]

Thank you so much!

[Sesshyluv94]

I love it/ you/ HIEI/ KURA-CHAN/ YOKOU/ YUSUKE!!!!!

I miss those guys.....

Damn tv network stations....

[XDGarraXD]

this is amazing! this gave me butterflies XD! it would make a great trailer

[Blueutopiah]

Thank you!

[Inuyashalover437]

I'll definitely agree on the Makai Tournament being disappointing, but the animation is pretty crisp.

In the English version of YYH, they broke something they had going for Kurama, actually. Kurama NEVER cursed before the Makai Tournament (I would know XD).

But great way to capture the highlights and such. Awesome timing the whole way.

Also, what was your favorite part of YYH? Mine's the Dark Tournament. Real tear-jerker, though, during Genkai's...little...trip (Spoiling spoilers spoil it :O)

[Blueutopiah]

Thank you!

It's hard to say my favourite part of the series - there are so many. Hmmm...

-The Karasu/Kurama fight. Defintely. I still cringe when Kurama screams as he's getting hit by bombs.

-The episode where Hiei gets pwned by the whistle and falls out of the tree, that is so funny.

-Yusuke dying and coming back uber-powerful. That whole episode is win.

-and of course, hiei's backstory in the Makai arc.

[Blueutopiah]

Thank you!

Isn't it such a great classic anime? It will always be my favourite.

[DesertRose127]

Stunning. The music was a perfect choice, and the transitions between the three characters was flawless. I was wondering if all the clips you used were from the series? Or were some of them from a movie?

[Blueutopiah]

Thank you so much!

All of the clips were from the show only. I stripped the DVDs for the series.

[Asthorin]

Awesome video and I would recomend it to any Yu Yu Hakusho Fan!!!!

[Blueutopiah]

Thank you so much!

[starlight4591]

amazing! its so very well done. if i hadnt seen the series i would so go and watch it :) the music added to the effects and the transitions between characters was great. good choice on clips showing them at their best.

[Blueutopiah]

Thank you very much! I really wanted this to be an advertisement-in-disguise so more people would watch YYH, I guess I did it right! This anime deserves more love.

[Th3irdEyeBlind]

just finished watching yu yu hakusho not too long ago and i have to say it's one of the best anime's that ive ever seen and you definitely did it justice with this video.

[Blueutopiah]

Thank you so much! It's my favourite anime of all time, I'm so glad people are still watching it (considering it's 15 years old now.)

[vampiresRhot]

best amv i've seen with this song! compleatly and utterly amazing! ^_^

i'm just sad i can't find the song on iTunes!!!

[Blueutopiah]

I think I downloaded it from Limewire. That's pretty good to get single songs.

and thank you!

[vampiresRhot]

thanks! never thought of limewire... ^_^

[kitsunesrose]

I think that all that can be said abou this video is WOW.

[Blueutopiah]

Thank you!

[RedBloodedWings]

you did a kick ass vid im thinking i just hafe too get back into this stuff well watching this vid.

[Blueutopiah]

Sweet. Thank you! If I made more people want to watch/rewatch YYH then my work here is done!

[bananas4bananerz]

Nice. E nomine and Yu Yu Hakusho.  Doesn't get much more kick ass. XD

[Blueutopiah]

Thank you! Mitternacht is still one of my favourite songs!

[Ninjakasumi17]

Beautifully done. This is one of the best Yu Yu Hakusho videos I have ever seen. Awesome job ^_^

[Blueutopiah]

Thank you so very much!

[Hotaru733]

OMG, I actually downloaded the song after we got home from Animazement. This video stuck in my head forever afterward - such an awesome vid!! :D You did a great job!

[Blueutopiah]

Thank you so much! I just love Yu Yu Hakusho and I had to make something really special for it.

[RingmazterKira]

i like this part with all their transformations 0:11

[Blueutopiah]

Thank you. That was one of the parts that I had in my head for a long time before I edited the AMV. The song fits so perfectly there.

[RingmazterKira]

do u have a capture card?

[Blueutopiah]

I have an entire system. Two actually. I do this for a living (edit, but not AMVs). It's Canopus DVStorm. They don't make that model anymore, now they want you to buy the Edius.

[xXKimberlillyLimeXx]

Oh wow =)

This totally makes me wanna buy the whole series! Which I am on Friday xD Yosh! <3

This video made me LOOOOVE Yu Yu Hakusho! I think I watch this video everyday =) Its just so cool! <3 And you've got me obsessed with this song xD

[NekoBeijsha]

o.o ur so lucky! Where are you buying them from? I cant find the last two boxsets anywhere T.T

[xXKimberlillyLimeXx]

I got mine from Best Buy :D

[Blueutopiah]

Thank you so much! I made you want to buy the whole series? MY WORK HERE IS DONE.

But really, it's a great anime. My favourite of all time. I'm very very glad you like the AMV so much.

[xXKimberlillyLimeXx]

Lol xD

It's now my favorite anime. =)

I stayed up for 3 days straight and finished the anime :D Woot! <3

[Blueutopiah]

So, who's your favourite character? And, more importantly, are you a yaoi fan?

[xXKimberlillyLimeXx]

Its Hiei :D Hes amazing<3

YAOI<3 Dude. Yaoi is my anti-drug =) KuramaXHiei! Woot! <3

[Blueutopiah]

I agree with everything you said.  I'm so obsessed with Hiei. And I ship Hiei/Kurama so hard. So married...those two.

[xXKimberlillyLimeXx]

Ah~ You're amazing =) lol.

Im actually trying to find a good H/K fanfic right now :D Lol. Do you know any?

[Blueutopiah]

I'm going to message you right now. I'm, like, the queen of knowing good YYH fanfic.

[brigid001]

mg this is amazing!!!! it' even better when you watch it in high quality!!!! 1000/5 lol

[Blueutopiah]

I probably should re-encode this AMV and get it up in a high-quality format. And thank you for the wonderful comment! I'm glad you enjoyed!

[Euwee]

Very nice. The video gave the chills (in a good way). Congrats on winning the award, I think you deserved it. ^^

[Blueutopiah]

Thank you very much!

[brigid001]

oh you don't have to cause you can just add &fmt=18 to the end of the url and you can just put that in the description lol

[Blueutopiah]

Wow that works really well! Thanks!

[brigid001]

no problem glad to help lol

[GuidoAndrade]

The Best Video of Yuyu Hakusho...Great Video man! =]

[Blueutopiah]

Thank you!

[Blueutopiah]

Thank you!

[KomoriRei]

You did an amazing job at showing the characters and their stories at their best and worst!Keep up the good work

[Blueutopiah]

Thank you! I have many many more AMVs in the works.

[Takanami2690]

Amazing AMV. Very well done. I thought it really portrayed Hiei, Kurama, and Yusuke well. Yu Yu Hakusho truly is an awesome anime and you certainly did it justice. Bravo!

[Blueutopiah]

Thank you so much. It's my favourite anime and even though it's about 17 years old, I wanted to show that it's still amazing and badass.

[maxchangminscrush]

I was in the first row next to the bass and it was awsome!!!!

[Blueutopiah]

Thank you! I was actually concerned about the sound (I didn't think the bass was as loud as it was when I edited it) but it turned out just fine.

[HorseGirl4]

My gosh that was awesome, glad that you won!

[Blueutopiah]

Thank you!

[YoakeNoUsagi]

To an old comment/reply

XD Sorry it took so long. >.>; Youtube has strange navigation system. I like it better now. But anyway! XD Shippo is from Inuyasha! ☺ ♫ ♥

[Blueutopiah]

How could I not include Karasu molesting Kurama? It's like a civic duty.

[PrinceyChu]

|3 <333

This makes me want to break out my Kurama cosplay all over again. Guh. Just...breathtaking. Hope to see you at AZ '09! :3

[Blueutopiah]

If this AMV makes someone want to cosplay Kurama then my work here is done. :D

What outfit did you cosplay him in?

And I do want to go to AZ 09 but I might have to stay local this year, I don't think I can take another 11 hour drive

[PrinceyChu]

I wore something from a piece of fanart, actually, though it's similar to his outfit from the Makai Tournaments. o; Though for this next year, I've been getting a lot of requests for his Youkai form...which I just might do. <3

Aww. ; ; That IS a long drive! But we'd love to have you back~~.

[Onisuofdreams]

I remember seeing this at Animazement this year.

I believe the reason this video is so great is because you made the video reflect the music. I don't mean if they song talks about a banana, you show a banana, but when the music was slow, the action was toned down. During the most intense moments, the video was intense. Instead of showing long scenes, you changes scenes every second or less, keeping it interesting even for those who have seen the show.

One of the best AMVs I've seen, good job.

[Blueutopiah]

I really really appreciate your comment, I love that you took the time to tell me why you thought it wa good. I have to admit that the song made it really easy to edit to, it had so many different facets and I love YYH so much I just started seeing parts of the show in my head to the music.

Thank you again!

[yamiaainferno]

The. Best. Thing. I. Have. Ever. Seen.

[Blueutopiah]

Thank. You. :D  :D :D

[yintsunami]

that was the most awesome thing ever... no wonder you won.

[Blueutopiah]

Thank you so much! I was really surprised I won something, but it made all the work worth it!

[arcticwolfhowler]

OMG! I was there and I saw it! It was totally kick ass!

[Blueutopiah]

You were there? Sweet. Did you cosplay?

[arcticwolfhowler]

Yep, as Toboe from Wolfs Rain.

[KamikazeMusume]

Congrats on the win! You totally deserve it for this vid.

I didn't go to Animazement, but now I wish I had... never mind that I live a couple of states away and completely blew my budget at Otakon... any chance of seeing one of your vids there next year (or any year in the future)?

[KamikazeMusume]

Oh, wait... that's right, Animazement was before Otakon. I need to keep my conventions straight. ^^;

And oops, I forgot to subscribe when I commented.

[Blueutopiah]

I will defintely be around for a long time so I'm sure you'll see one of my AMVs at Otakon or other cons. Since I won at Animazement, I was disqualified for the 2008 Otakon AMV contest (they have silly rules).

And I hope to make it to Otakon one day, that con is so huge and it has yaoi panels so I need to make the drive down.

[sableyeman]

this is sad,but i never watched past wen yasuke and togoro met in the tournament....:(

[Blueutopiah]

The Dark Tournament Arc was the best Arc, but there are so many good shows in the Sensui Arc and there's a big surprise for Yusuke's character. You should finish the series, it's really worth it!

[SheridanSinclair]

Instant Love ♥

I can see why you won the award ♥

Congrats!!

[i stalked Karasu that day] lmao

[Blueutopiah]

Thank you!

And you stalked me? You should have come up and say hi, I only grope if asked to. :D

[Lloyd13Z]

Hey, Im sozane999's friend from animazement, love the video!!!

On a side note, Hiei's transformation was a good idea gone bad. XD It looked lame, and although he's my favorite character, Im glad he didnt do it again after the first few episodes.

They basically changed his "transformation" to the Jigan Eye. ^_^

[forlornhope638]

I bought the newly released season 1 set and preordered the second after watching this, it was that good. Mad props to you :D

[Blueutopiah]

My AMV made you buy YYH? AWESOME. I'm so glad everyone loved it so much!

You won't regret it, YYH is bad-ass.

Thanks!

[Blueutopiah]

Thank you!

[sozane999]

Yay. #1 AMV EVAR

[Blueutopiah]

Thank you!

[maria137b]

cool! i luv hiei!

[Blueutopiah]

I love Hiei too!
