Kenshin - Sunday Bloody Sunday

[shishiosama7]

This and Evangelion's 2 AMV's Closer & We in this 2gether are the best AMV'S of all time hands down,nope cant fuck wit it

[jayhawkfan1013]

Nice video. The OVA's were golden.

[fullmetal891]

Jape how ignorant and stupid can you be....just cuz they arent about mass murdur and gore doesnt mean they are stupid and irritating, if something that isnt gory irritates you then u have a seriouse mental problems and im glad i dont know your pathetic ignorant little self. there are these things in stories called plots, and characters. doesnt have to be gory to be good...

[Jape67]

You're right, stories need interesting plots to be good. The shows I listed have amazing plots, some gore, and none of them are based on mass murder. If you had read the comments below mine, you'd realize that I was defending good animes. Before you post anything on the internet 'fullmetal891' please learn to spell. It's hard to call someone stupid when you can't spell 'serious' correctly. It's equally difficult to call someone ignorant when your argument has no direction what so ever.

[dudechunks]

I don't really like U2 at all but this song jams a bit and kenshin is a spectacular anime and the song really fits in my opinion

[Vilemk0]

The ova's were way better then the anime series.

[cocolutine]

ehhh i think this is unapropiate , it's really the worst use of the song ever .... :s

[nodogyougay48]

yeah its much to happy for something thats really kinda sad.

[Kenshinnnnn]

great amv the video and song really mix together great work

[arimeis]

amazing... just amazingly sad... but beautiful

[NobodyCares1969]

I love this song, I love this movie, so I guess I think this is great.

[limitedchoices]

Very well put Allodox.

[Sasukejd]

Well... my bad... one more person died because of his heavy wounds at the 16th of June in the same year... well... this shows how babaric and cellos humans are...

[Sasukejd]

14, not 13 People where shoot at the 30th of January 1972 in Northireland, and 15 more people where badly hurt, by the way...

[Cricky1224]

Obviously the song can be both dedicated to people who died in the civil wars, which happened in Ireland and in Kenshin's story during the Tokugawa Shogunate of late 1850's and mid 1860's. And thousands of people died with that war too and opened Japan to the Western civilization.

[Synthe]

The song bloody sunday was about the deaths of norhtern irishmen by the british military, obviously using the song for someone's anime fandom is disrespect to what the song really meant.

[Dridien]

Obviously you dont know what the song really means.

"You know people are dying every single day through bitterness and hate, and we're saying why? What's the point? And you can move that into places like El Salvador and other similar situations - people dying"

[OnlineAthlete]

You missed the point of the anime then. I demand you think and research more before saying such ignorant statements.

[SetsunaNK]

Excellent AMV... Some people really thinks nowadays anime is not serious or responsible, or not even consider it art. Get educated about anime culture and only then make a good opinion instead nonsense.

[Jape67]

That's because most, only see anime shows such as Naruto, Pokemon, Bleach, Inuyasha, Blood+, and other kid friendly animes that are intended to be stupid and irritating. They have yet to see the better side, with things like Blood the Last Vampire, Vampire Hunter D, Spriggn, Akira, Princess Mononoke, Berserk, Samurai X, etc.

[PersianKhavos]

it's true but animes such as naruto and bleach are fun to watch, however i agree with you when it comes to the art of anime such series do not justify it

[Wasudan]

Dont forget Ghost in the Shell OAV and ofcoure full lenght movies, i hate sailor moon clones, it's just like wathing gumybears all the time.

[mightyPants]

oh please you moron, what the fuck does U2 know about anything? what gives Bono the right to write about other people's suffering when he couldn't have a better life? he's a hypocrite, comes out telling people to donate money when he is the richest cunt there is.

[Xondar11223344]

This anime is based on a civil war in Japan called the Bakumatsu. It was a bloody affair and a lot of people died. What were you saying again?

[Pgchan007]

This was one of the first amv's I saw, way back in... geez, 2000 when it debuted. I can see the flaws of it now, but it's still better than most. It captures the feeling of civil revolution present in the song and the Kenshin OAVs, and taps out its point well.

[melisodd]

*blink* holy crap that was good

[Snowman5713]

This is deffinatly one of my favorite AMVs, and also to you people that think this is insulting the 13 deaths of this event, I think of it as honoring them in his own way.

[zoombaking]

Lol.. wow. I read some of the comments for this vid, good read. I gotta say I've never seen people act so freakin' stupid about an AMV before. No, the song is not about Japan, but does that really matter? The song fits with the scenes selected in the anime, why don't people just watch the video for what it is?

Anyway.. good song, good anime, bravo :D.

Oh, and the song is really about the great war between Canadian ninjas and Peruvian samurai. Get the facts straight people.

[andreajbg]

pretty good...

[jbaguirre007]

oi jbrizzle u are the most retarded person in the world the song was made before the anime jackass

[djodars]

Best amv I've ever seen after Kenshin - Linkin Park - Numb GOOD JOB !!

[adrianarox2]

omg! i love LP too!!!! but this song is okay i guess! its better than pop!! LP 4 LIFE~!

[RinEditionB]

Oh my god, shut up and enjoy the amazing amv. The maker isn't trying to tarnish the memory of any event, nor the meaning of the song.

Good song, good amv, terrible events.

[metalgearsolidfan]

i would leave it to a yank to mock the death of 13 innocent people with this shite

[Dridien]

The song isn't actually for the massacre >_>

"You know people are dying every single day through bitterness and hate, and we're saying why? What's the point? And you can move that into places like El Salvador and other similar situations - people dying"

[Xondar11223344]

Yeah, you're right. The anime was about a real historical civil war that happened in Japan were THOUSANDS of people died. This song is too pathetic to live up to the bloody legacy of the Bakumatsu in Japan.

Really, applying a song about 13 people dying to a bloody civil war? Complete shite.

Oh wait, or were you being culturally ignorant of Japan and assuming they had a less bloody history than Northern Ireland?

[devonpenner]

you know what i think is funny, all you guys are missing the piont of the song, its about not fighting and its exactly what your all doin, no wonder nobady ever stands up and tries to change the world, because every one fights and bitches ove rit all anyways...

[KAD2]

anime is for emos

[Morfind]

Ha If you are not a anime fan who enjoys AMV then you shouldnt even watch this in the first place because obviously you dont understand what they are doin here. Yes the song is about that event in Ireland but lyrics say nothing about the event at all. You can argue with me about that at all because their is no dates, time or place mention in that song.

[Morfind]

Not to mention the guy who posted it didnt title the video with anything about that event so you cant be bitching about something that has nothing to do with it in the first place.

[Morfind]

And the ones who keep bring the meaning of song and telling everybody you dont know the meaning of song well since you are all about the songs meaning then you know its about anit-hate so why is it you are showing so much anger and hate towards this little ole AMV which is complete opposite of the songs meaning. So it is a really well made AMV.

[FederEris]

I guess its the most famous kenshin amv ^.~

I know it since ages...

So did you do it? or do you know who did it?

[Synthe]

What the fuck is this shit? You used a good song about a damn masscre and set it to a gay samurai show?

you guys are FUCKING RETARDED.

[Spirit3188]

actually i think it works

the song itself is about a war in Ireland

[Synthe]

No you faggit this song was about a masscre in Northern Ireland during the troubles, would you like it if someone fucking used a song about genocide and put it with a fucking cartoon show?

[RinEdition]

In the end of the 18th century(?), Japan went through a turbulent change. This MOVIE is about the violence, mostly in Kyoto, during that era. Kenshin isn't a samurai- he's an assasin. If this song weren't already stated to be about an event in Europe, it could very well go along with this story as well. Maybe if you'd actually seen the movie, you would understand why this is a good amv. Get your facts right before being an ass.

[Synthe]

The movie is about violence, but the Song Bloody Sunday IS NOT ABOUT FUCKING JAPAN.

[RinEdition]

So you're saying this song can't apply to other movies that match the theme? In the words of Svetlana, is pizza only pizza if it's made by Italians? I really don't think U2 would be making as big a deal over it as you are. It's an amv.

[Synthe]

how the hell does a fucking show about japan fits a song about a masscre?

[RinEditionB]

For heaven's sake, people.. The song is for the massacre, but for the sake of this amv, it fits. If you read that historical comment I had earlier, you would have seen that I already answered your question. I'm not going to repeat myself: This song fits the movie, and just because it was about a different event does NOT mean that it can't go to an amv as well. Can't you guys be flexible? It isn't a big deal.

[Dridien]

The song isn't actually for the massacre >_>

"You know people are dying every single day through bitterness and hate, and we're saying why? What's the point? And you can move that into places like El Salvador and other similar situations - people dying"

[Toshiya1213]

That was an awesome amv. I dont know anything about Kenshin but it looks like i should get into it. the song go perfectly with the video. Nice and emotional, a good u2 song too.

[luuko656]

i dont get the connection between a old asian manga and a rock song about the killing of inocent people in ireland...

[RinEdition]

The song could also represent the chaos of this Era (before Meiji) in Japan. If you've ever watched to OVA it would make sense.

[luuko656]

treu..but i dont watch that stuff...but i do like U2!

[Synthe]

What the fuck?? bloody sunday was about a masscre during the troubles in which British Troops Shoot innocent catholics during a civil rights protest read fucking wikipedia. it wasn't about Suki suki wahki su su nasilihu crap.

[Spirit3188]

wow, lol

ok, as much as i dont like to refer to wikipedia, heres what it said about this sound: "Bono frequently reasserted the song's anti-hate, anti-sectarian violence message to his audience for many years. Owing to the continued presence of The Troubles in Ireland more than twenty years after the song's debut" so it is about Ireland dumbass, lol

[jbrizzle123]

you guys are all retarded i asked my dad he said Bono made this song FOR the anime, wikipedia is known for its inaccuracy . . .

[mistyaqua]

Then your dad is retarded. He probably didn't say that. This song was DEFINETLY not made for the anime. Why don't you google it and see what its REALLY about?

[cynicinconverses]

omg, the song is not about anime, it's about "Bloody Sunday" (January 30, 1972) in which 26 Civil Rights protesters were shot, and AMG states that Bono did write the song on the event.

[metalgearsolidfan]

thats the most reatrded thing ive ever heard seriously its the most you obviously have a problem

[jbrizzle123]

no ur the most retarded thing ive ever heard my dad is always right, there was no civil rights protestors or a massacre at all

[metalgearsolidfan]

you are seriously a retard you really need serious mental help and tell you dad to come over here and saay that to my face and the familys of the 13 innocent people who were killed

[Dridien]

"You know people are dying every single day through bitterness and hate, and we're saying why? What's the point? And you can move that into places like El Salvador and other similar situations - people dying" from the band.

[andreajbg]

u2!!! el mejor rock ingles!!!!

[lovizalle]

bad mixing , but this is the only video i found with the studio version of the song, it sounds great, thanks

[pikachoo78]

c'est une chanson magnifique qui nous rappellera a tout jamais cette terrible journée de janvier 1972....

[danju2]

wow nicee

does any one know were to get anime dub? msg me ill apreciate it

[kakashiindrag]

Amazing!! Bows down in awe of video and the meaning!

It just really fit!

[GURUofRANDOM]

I love the way Kenshin looked when he was younger. And I like how to drawing is in the movie, much different from the show.

[coltmania1]

i love dis song it is the shiznit!

[jmortondrums]

I though you did a great job mixing the video with the music! Larry Mullen is the drummer of U2, and his drum part on this song can be found at classic-rock-drum-chartsDOTcom

[draciel80]

this isnt the rurouni kenshin i remember. the ones i remember came on cartoon network's toonami right after school. but then again, they cut it off after 2-3 years

[RinEdition]

This is Kenshin's story as an assasin, before the manga series. So I doubt they'd show this on CN. XD

[draciel80]

oic. thanks!

[Worda0000]

hammer geild dieses lied! MANCHE ARSCHLÖCHER KÖNNEN GAR NICHT ERFASSEN WARUM DIESES LIED SO GEIL IST! ich sags auch ihr verfickten ..... in diesem song sind die sprüche für das dritte weltkrieg (wegen dem fasst ausgebrochenen 3. weltkrieg). arschlöcher

[mrpurple11]

great amv

[esteigs]

great amv!

one of the best ive seen in a while!

[ztd1]

good song,really good amv. I really like the lyrics and the point that the song makes.

[takikazama]

One of the best AMVs ever :)

[Fez1408]

Freakin awesome!

[AlexanderSix6Six]

Very well done. 5 stars

[Rakkania]

This is the best AMV I've ever seen º¬º!

[ellabella111]

jesus?HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHA

[0Charlotte666]

jesus won?hm..I like the song,but I dont like jesus!

[WolfeyesVIII]

Jeez, what did Jesus ever do to you....

[shezmaster]

i don't like mohammed

[0Charlotte666]

yes..who has won?silly wars.silly hitler.

[taccun]

actually, this version of ruroni kenchin is called samurai X. But anyway nice video.

[Xondar11223344]

If you watch it the title card clearly says "Rurouni Kenshin" not "Samurai X."

[pinsterzd]

loved anime and this mv! gj!

[Andros1921]

This shows the true Battousai.

[insertsuitablename]

That was just... beautiful. Amazing, yo, very amazing.

[alliehj]

Beautifull..

[ASDGHJKL12345]

This has got to be one of the BEST AMVs I have EVER seen. <33 It matches SO well, and this is a great song.Awesome job!

[chalavet]

Pretty sweet video, I've already sent friends links to check it out!

[ecjl87]

awesome video, just great

[cassandra5322]

mel gibson directed this. lool

[raspberryninja]

I forgot how great Kenshin was. :p They picked a great song for this AMV <3

[MichaelR86]

Wow- worst use of this song ever.

[omni42]

Perhaps its not the same as the original intent, however Kenshins entire story is about penance for his past bloodshed. So in a sense, it works.

Either way though, nicely done.

[Shmuhlest]

I saw this video when I was like, 9, and I'm still in love with it.

[anarchyjosh]

obviously no one here knows what this songs actually about.

[Chimpmaster657]

Yes I do. But that doesn't mean I can't enjoy the video.

[anarchyjosh]

i never said that i just meant its completely opposite tot he video.

[Chimpmaster657]

*DOH* Sorry I misunderstood you.

[THEHalfBrainedWonder]

Ooh ooh! I know! January 30, 1972 a regiment of British paratroops shot and killed 13 unarmed demonstrators who had been taking part in a civil rights march in Londonderry (Derry). The British later tried to justify the action by claiming that some of the protesters had handled weapons at some point during the day. This event became known as "Bloody Sunday" and inspired numerous reprisal bombings by the IRA.

[anarchyjosh]

14 people killed.

[escaflowne3]

hahahaha rofl

[anarchyjosh]

sumthing funny?

[Dridien]

That's not what the song is about, the band them selves said the song can be applied to anywhere

"You know people are dying every single day through bitterness and hate, and we're saying why? What's the point? And you can move that into places like El Salvador and other similar situations - people dying"

[Xondar11223344]

So the song can't be applied because it is about a bloody part in Northern Ireland's history and the anime was about a bloody part in Japan's history?

I think you are the one missing the point.

[Chimpmaster657]

Beautiful. The only thing I can say.

[judyjude]

Even though it is a sad song, and a very sad story. I have to say, I love it!!

It is the best video made of fans from samurai-X. love it. I almost start to cry when I see it.

but I wish it showed more of Tomoe. She is his weak spot. its beautiful.

[escaflowne3]

pretty good

i enjoyed it ^^

[synfanine]

Wow, this is amazing. Perfect timing and everything. This is my favorite U2 song, and you did a beautiful job putting into an AMV. I'm just....wow. Flat-out WOW.

[rene8891]

i love it

[ExplodingTeeth]

Ooh i remember this video.

[DarksideNeverAgain]

i think you're missing the point of the song >.>

[evilnakedman]

this is the best Samuria-X amv i've ever seen

the first time i saw this was a couple of years ago and i still think it's a very cool amv

[evilnakedman]

and it`s my favorite U2 song

[evilnakedman]

and it's u2's best song ever

[Chija]

I.. sort of have to agree with the bad taste. The song is actually quite sad, and it has nothing to do with Japan. It was originally about the massacre in Dublin, right? 1972..? I think my dates are messed up. But, yeah, I got into U2 through this video, so I guess it's good. And I don't even like anime much. xP

[davidjohntovell]

You got the date right but it was in derry not dublin

[magnawiz]

I think it's quite a timeless theme the song presents. Timeless and placeless.

[Dridien]

We're into the politics of people, we're not into politics. Like you talk about Northern Ireland, 'Sunday Bloody Sunday,' people sort of think, 'Oh, that time when 13 Catholics were shot by British soldiers'; that's not what the song is about.

That's an incident, the most famous incident in Northern Ireland and it's the strongest way of saying, 'How long? How long do we have to put up with this?' I don't care who's who - Catholics, Protestants, whatever.

[Dridien]

You know people are dying every single day through bitterness and hate, and we're saying why? What's the point? And you can move that into places like El Salvador and other similar situations - people dying

[Xondar11223344]

If you think it's bad taste then you need to do some research on Japanese history. The time period this anime is based on was known as the Bakumatsu and it turned Japan from a class based medieval society to a modern egalitarian society. It was indeed a very bloody affair. 27 people died on Bloody Sunday, but thousands died in the Bakumatsu. Kyoto was even burned to the ground at one point and many innocent people lost their lives.

[YanPanChan]

Wow, I was so in love with Rurouni Kenshin back then. I had this amv b4, DL-ed on Kazaa. It's still a great song & show!

[nctreefrog]

Yay..This is so classic. Definitely the best amv.

[kyuusho]

ohhh I love this (old) video!!

I remember... 5 years ago I've watched it for the first time... this song is one of my favourites, too.

Yay! lol

[LadyAssassin]

one of my favourite kenshin amv for sure..

[Billorca]

I like this it is very well done

[420heat]

this is so old, so good, not too sure if start credits are correct, something tells me no... does ne1 have the death metal amv? dont remember wut tis called, but at the end it goes into nice harmonics..

[doisemeio]

A+++++++

[EsorSeripmav]

i agree with ComptonAssDaniel

[ComptonAssDaniel]

I remember this video from a long ass time too--it's definitely one of the best AMV's around, even now. So many people make AMV's and they're total garbage, and they put it up without hesitation. This is definitely a masterpeice that was made with lots of planning and thought. I love it.

[iluvnd1983]

bad taste. considering what she song's actually about

[hachibeach151]

Go f*ck yourself, guy.

[Xondar11223344]

The Bakumatsu in Japan was an incredibly bloody affair. If you've seen the OAV that this AMV is based on you'd understand that as it is based on historical events. You saying it is bad taste is kind of like saying that 27 Irishmen's lives are worth more than those killed in Japan during that bloody period in their history. I think the song fits in well.

[ToxicNatzuHaru]

THis is KICKASS!!

[prioria]

I LOVE this movie! My fave hero, not to mention one of my favourite songs!

[UsoSuru]

I've always loved this amv.

-Sam

[rinchankawaii]

This one is damn good! I also have seen this video hears ago... thanks for sharing!

[bakka2]

an AMV that's been around for years. one of the best.

[crashysmashydiedie]

I love this video and this song

[ellabella111]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!<3

[carson700]

This had to be one of my first AMVs..  I kept this with me and watched it quite a bit. One of the best song fits for an anime. Great song, great anime, great fit:). Here is Kenshin Episode 1 from the TV show (this AMV is off the OAV).

[j0j0t0]

wow....no really..i saw this video like 3-4 years ago... i can't believe i found it...brings back some memories actually. you were the one who made this amv? if you did, you did a GREAT job.

[carson700]

LOL, No, I WISH I made this! I didn't mean MINE, I meant first I had seen. Ya, this is such a great one, great fit to the music. Suprising how a song about Ireland (U2) and Japan (Kenshin) worked.

[j0j0t0]

lol, but ya, it was about the bloody sunday in 1973 or something like that. it does fit perfectly with this kenshin OAV

[VoodooDaddy]

I have seen this video for years...thanks for posting it. If you made it, you're really amazing. This is one of the AMVs that got me started making them. Just an amazing video. The editing, the music, and the anime itself just fit like peices of a puzzle.

[LaChicaNica]

Great video. Song really goes with the video.
