Anthy - "Self-Righteous Suicide" (Revolutionary Girl Utena AMV)

[SeguchiTohma]

I've never really liked this song, but...you put it to use quite well. I loved this.

[FemaleSpock]

Amazing amv!

[HartsChaotica]

Do you by any chance take requests? Because there is this song I keep hearing that reminds me Akio and Anthy's relationship, but I don't have the editting tools to make it myself.

[sharnii]

I do, depending on whether I like the song and concept. So let me know and I'll consider it for sure. ^^

[animefanaticc]

very very very awesome, love this song, perfect match with the character. could have used different scenes for some of the parts but overall, it was AWESOME. thank you for making this video, i've been looking for this all over!

[sharnii]

I'm real glad you found it. :) It's such a cool song for Anthy, yeah, agreed.

[animefanaticc]

if you dont mind me asking, how/where did you find the clips to make this???

[RED123BRANKA]

yes, awesome

[sharnii]

Thanks!

[ChobitFreya]

Awesome character, awesome song and awesome AMV <3 I love it.

[sharnii]

Yay, ty. XD Mucho Anthy love, for she is an awesome character. ;)

[ChobitFreya]

And BTW... What do You think about making Anthy AMV with Placebo's "Lady of the flowers"?

Check this song out please and think about it ^^

[sharnii]

I have made part of this video, am trying to finish it gradually while working on other projects. :) You're right that it is an awesome song and idea for Anthy - kudos to you.

[ChobitFreya]

WOW, how awesome!

I though that You didn't like the idea ^^

I can't wait to watch it ^^

[skzpietrya]

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, I love so muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch this video!!!!!!!!!!! kyaaaaaaaaa kyaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!

And the song too kya, kya kya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sharnii]

Thankee! I'm very pleased with this vid/song choice, so thanks heaps for the comment. ^^

[skzpietrya]

You're very welcome^_^

[princesshope14]

woooow. this was done with windows movie maker right? with such little editing tools to work with, you made a very pleasing amv. this is the first wmm vid i've watched all the way through in a while. ^^ favoriting and 5/5

[sharnii]

Yep WMM created this. ^^ Thanks heaps for the rating/fave/and comment. *purrs*

[callananthiena]

Anthy is one of the most complicated characters I've ever seen.

[sharnii]

I know! She's an absolutely fascinating character, so hard to understand (so enjoyable to watch ^^)

[aixelsydyslexia]

The lyrics work very well. Very nice work.

[sharnii]

Ty ^^

[PunkUtena]

oh, its the best protrail of Anthy i've seen!

i feel like at the line "I - cry, when angels deserve to die" it's like if Anthy is refering to Utena...

[sharnii]

Awesome comment, thx PunkUtena! And the time I vid that line (I cry, when angels deserve to die) I'm referring to Prince Dios, then Anthy herself (in terms of her sacrifice). The second time I vid the line yes, I'm referring to Utena. When she betrays Anthy (in a sense) by choosing Akio and her love for him (temporarily) over her intense bond with Anthy...

[CarysXx92]

This is sooo awesome!! Best anthy AMV Ive seen soo far. Nice orginal song choice too!

[sharnii]

Aw thanks Carys! I've got to admit I love Anthy as a character - there's a lot to explore about her.

[CarysXx92]

I know! Anthy is awesome XD But utena rocks even for more tbh lol but everyone loves Utena anyways XD

[sharnii]

Yeah they are both AWESOME characters. My very fave in the anime, and each in their own right. I actually like them separate, together, or as friends, lovers, or enemies (It's all good to me lol).

I just find them fascinating alone as characters, and with a fascinating dynamic between them in their relationship. ^^

[leenaguer]

yeah, i agree with everybody this was pure awesomeness, you managed to capture anthy's escence greatly!

[sharnii]

TY leenaguer XD I'm very into trying to capture her essence ;p

[Heartbreak1337]

I've seen a lotta AMV's, from Rozen Maiden ones to Pokemon (if that can even be considered an anime), and it's rare to see one with great cinematography. You, mah friend, is excellent in this art, choosing a great song with an apparent matching anime putting it all together in such a way that it makes sense. You should make more, that was excellent! (^_^)

[sharnii]

Aw thanks heartbreak, cool comment! I appreciate it since I worked hard on the matching. ^^ I have made many more Utena AMVs (and will continue to do so yay) since it's my fave anime by miles. I'd love to make some Deathnote ones too but need clips first heh. And I agree Pokemon is stretching the limits of what can be called an anime lol...

[herana01]

Yay! Finally an AMV to this song that is great and isn't about Evangelion!

[sharnii]

Thankee. ^^ I too noticed there seem to be a LOT of vids to this song for Evangelion...

[sharnii]

Thanks! I worked hard on it ;)

[angel1g]

i agree with you, i love animes and this song and hi

[angel1g]

"i cried..." love this song i love listening to this song on the radio its so cool, the anime rockz i think u did a pretty cool job on this keep up the awesome work :)

[rnbsteenstar]

Very interesting, sad too. Very very sad too.

[sharnii]

Yep, agreed. :'(

[rnbsteenstar]

Yeah.

[sharnii]

thx angel1g ^^ It's amazing that your cried. Anthy's place in life is sad...

[angel1g]

yep this song is sad that is why i cry every time i hear it on the radio, this song rockz you did a very cool awesome job with this video

[sharnii]

thankee, and this is a sad song, I agree.

[NotebookDarling]

it's an amazing amv! =)

you EDITED stuff.

you should stop wasting time with Windows Movie Maker and move on to a much better video editor.

That way you can portrait the characters of SKU much better ;D

[sharnii]

Thanks Notebook! XD Yep, lotsa editing here lol. What would you recommend in terms of video editors that don't cost the earth? o.O Also I need to get hold of non-subtitled clips... *cry*

[NotebookDarling]

you should download a trial version of sony vegas and see if you like it. it's very different from WMM.

like MSpaint & Photoshop.

at least you have episodes. I don't have any episodes. *cries too*

[sharnii]

I might just do that - thanks for the suggestions :) You poor thing not having eps...*feels sad for you*

[NotebookDarling]

yeah. pity me D':

how did you obtain them?

[ArtOfMe021]

Wow. Oh wow. The song goes so well with Anthy, and together with the images was really powerful. I had forgotten how emotional that song is. Beautiful job, one of the best AMVs I've seen, and it makes me truly appreciate what a tragic character Anthy is.

[sharnii]

Awesome comment, ArtOfMe021 - thanks heaps. XD I agree this song is made for Anthy. She's a character that is dead to showing emotion, and yet there must be so much repressed and packed down inside. O.O

[chellygel]

wow this was fantabulous!!!!

soo intense. :)

[sharnii]

thx heaps chellygel! <.<

[H536917]

This video portrays Anthy in a completely different, but nonetheless plausible angle. Someone who is very, very, very angry about a lot of things. Knowing her being passive aggressive, this sounds like something that would run across her head when Akio's doing her. Remember how after she finishes the sex, Akio asks, "Must you torment me so?"

And then...

she smiles :)

[sharnii]

Yep...I surely do remember that smile! o.O

I appreciate your in-depth comment H536917, and it is interesting to think about Anthy's passive aggressive side. I like trying to portray her in different lights.

[Beautifulpanther1985]

really wonderful video *.* also the fact that it contains SOAD! also very nicely cut, the mood works pretty well!

[sharnii]

thx panther, esp on cutting/mood! <.< SOAD rocks.

[IrisBeloved]

This is seriously awesome sweets. Beautiful beautiful job, I'm so impressed. 5/5

[sharnii]

Wow thanks, Iris XD. That makes all the cutting worth it! <.<
