I prefer the original song, usually, but I think the HIM cover worked better for this AMV. Well done. It was beautifully made. You did a wonderful job of syncing up the lyrics to the image, as well as the video pace to the song. While the song is ostensibly about a lover's suicide, it's about so much more than that, and you captured it well. Tsuzuki's conflicted relationship with death, especially. And the way it affects Hisoka.
Thanks for not making another silly 'Everyone here is gay' video for this series. There's only one character who ever even talks about his sexuality, Dr. Muraki. It's nice to see something that focuses on the supernatural elements of the story.
Hmm. I've never heard anyone do a cover of this song before. Not sure if I like it but I do find it funny that I just discovered this anime yesturday and randomly found this amv today.
I believe that people should make amv's with which ever anime they like. And the fact that it really suits this song doesn't mean that it's uncreative. It SHOULD fir the song. But no need to listen to my opinion. I'm just using logic. = =
And kireizillah. I LOVE this. I randomly looked up an amv with this song and I was surprised in a positive way to see how good this is. :3
Oh wow very well timed with the 'curtians flew and then he appeared" brilliant and goes well with the show. (Yes it does so quit whining@others. They are pretty much guardians of death! What is the grim reaper? dumbasses. e.e)
Great video (content of the song is not that important when the shots are perfectly matched and the sound provokes emotions - just as an answer to your opponents).
the english VA who does Hisoka also does Gaara's voice and 13th captain in Bleach. and the english VA is the actor who does Yugi mutohs english voice.
@MikuSayno some songs are not meant to be remade and him ruined a classic. maybe you goth posers think otherwise but the original is the best. im just showing my opinion and you get mad at me for that shows how mature you are asshole go cry in a courner
@truefreak131 Well then, You're opinion is rather rude.. If you have nothing good to say, Then don't say it. I was tellibng the truth about this and I'm not any sort of poser."-.- And I'm not planning to be any time soon, so calm down.
and my opinion is that h.i.m is an overrated band that tries to pass off as goth when in reality its just an emo band for emos giving goths a bad name! and this remake also insults old rock cuz blue oyster cult was old rock and the song was ruined by this emo band!!!!!
i admit mr walken has a pretty cool voice but anime especially yaoi is shit in dubbed versions. english subs r best when it comes the anime providing the voices r all done in japanese.
this is my favorite manga series that I own. its also one of the only ones that isnt hardcore yaoi that I own. and I actually like this version of dont fear the reaper. I think they should have made more epidodes of Yami no Matsuei instead of just the major events in the manga. But its till excellent muraki is my fav <3
I agree! I really wish there were more than just 13 episodes. The manga goes so much further into Muraki's past and whatnot. Bloody amazing. I'd read somewhere they were going to continue the series in 2007, but... considering 2008's come and gone, I think I was lied to :/
No cowbell comments here -- this version has an appropriate darkness and somberness of tone. Lyrics are well-matched to clips. They *are* the reapers, aren't they?
Yami no Matsuei is shounen-ai, which means hugging and emotional bonding, but nothing overt -- except for the villain, who has wicked designs on our dear Tsuzuki.
@KatMiko11 Sounds like you need to actualy watch the anime before judging the video,its true alot of people do just that but you can usualy tell because the amvs suck,however i think this video is well thought out... = )
this is a good AMV! love the music and video!! great timing!! Yeah! Don't fear the REAPER!!! I am the REAPER!!! FEAR ME!!! ^_^ oh crap! seriously..its a great AMV...
OK, Nice amv but HIM needs to go,i cannot stand HIM,and he should leave blue oyster cult alone, its bad enough he sings his own songs, let alone distroys classics. Sorry, rant over............
I did, the amv is great, but the music surly is part of the vidio. The music is just as important as the cutting, editing and choice of images, it sets the mood bla, bla, bla..... The amv is great but HIM, as i said before, and will say to anyone who will listen to my ranting, has to go ;-D
Yeah. I'm sorry if that was a little rude, but I'm really REALLY picky about covers. hahaha.
Like I said, this was really good. It would probably be a pretty big pain to remake it, though, given the difference in tempos and whatnot. Anyways, still a good video even if I didn't like the song. heh.
I agree with most of the other comments . Great job on the video , by far the best one for this song, But I would love to see it set to the Blue oyster cult original .
Would you mind to send me this song? Please... ^^ (And i have to say that the footage is perfect! How nice it is, not to have the subs getting in the way!^^)
Awesome amv, but I wish it was the Blue Oyster Cult version...(the original is always the best). Even though I love HIM this song is just soo much better the Blue Oyster Cult way. Anyway great job on the amv.
Wow! Amazing AMV! Great transitions, great use of timing, great song, great everything! I've never heard that version of Don't Fear the Reaper before.. I like it ^^ Definitely does go well with the anime.
Yes, I know this was originally by Blue Oyster Cult. It's a classic. But the version I used was by HIM, which is why I gave them the credit. ^_^ Thanks for the comment!
Ok, good, I'm glad to have that cleared up. It bothers me when people and groups don't get the credit they deserve. Oh, but I absolutely love his voice, it is so sensual. Great job. Circe
I really love this video. It completely sold me on the song as well. And you're right, it does go well with Yami no Matsuei.
I really like how you do the transition parts. Twice it seems as if the song is almost ending (around 1:25 and around 2:52) and both times I really like the way the clips work with it. Particularly the first time with Hisoka waking up.
Whoa, I couldn't really get anymore specific could I? XD It's amazing. Keep it up!
