Weiss Kreuz - Coming Home

My second Weiss Kreuz project, made back in May 2003. This vid is my blatant Ken/Omi shipping vid, made largely from the desire to show off Gluhen to a few reluctant fellow fangirls who had been turned off by the character designs. Ken/Omi is my favorite pairing in Weiss, and despite their not meeting again until the tenth episode of Gluhen, this video came together a lot better than I expected when I started it. Additional footage was pulled from the television series (Kapitel) and the OAVs.

The song used in this video is "Return (Coming Home)", by the Cruxshadows. I'd been listening to it a lot at the time while working on a fanfic that loosely paralleled the concept of this video and it felt like a perfect fit.

Major Gluhen spoilers here, folks. Also, for those of you who have seen this vid before, it's been completely remastered with clean dvd footage and improved sound. A couple of the scenes may be slightly different, as this is the version I entered in the Yaoi-Con 2003 AMV Contest.

I luv Ken/Omi and your video XD

[productionswtf]

Thank you! It's awesome seeing some support for Ken/Omi. ^_^

I have to say that I'm really impressed over the willingness to work with the gluhen territory. I applaud it. Personally, I'm happy about the revitalization of Weiss, even though our boys may have changed and there are some newbies. You've done a great job of celebrating the rescusitation.

[productionswtf]

Thank you! I love Gluhen and I try to share that love with other Weiss fans. Sometimes it just takes the right vid; this one managed to convince many of my friends who were turned off initially to at least give the series a try, so I consider it a success.

This AMV makes me want to cry every time I watch it. It's so freaking GOOD. I love how emotionally powerful it is and the music is top-notch.

[productionswtf]

The vid practically made itself. It's my favorite out of all of the vids I've made to date, even if it's not my best. ^_^

This is the best fan video ever. The song is perfect (and thank you, so much, for the intro to my new favorite band), the plot is heart-wrenching, and I feel as if I understand the characters better than before. If this doesn't convince people to watch WK and Gluhen, nothing will. It's beautiful. Thank you!

Wow! This made me miss my Weiss boys. A lot.

Your videos - this one and "Freude" - introduced me to what are now my two favourite bands. I saw them both in concert last year - Cruxshadows in November 2008 and VNV Nation in July 2009. My first concerts ever in my life! I also found many other great artists through the bands' record labels. Even when I stop liking Weiss (and I've been a fan for 3 yrs and watched the whole of Kapitel & OVAs twice, ), I'll still be a fan of these bands. So thank you.

But I still haven't watched Gluhen yet.

what episode is 2:15 from?

[PoesMadRaven]

This amazing! The song goes so well with Weiss Kreuz.

Would it be too much to ask if you could send this song to me, please? I love it so much and I can't find the album anywhere to buy. Thank you!

I like the looks on WB better.... Gluhen was nice... but I never really gotten used to their faces while watching till the end....

[Laie]

The best WK video out there! Awesome job you did here! <3

It's impressive really, how this keeps Chilling me to the Core each time I see this Great AMV. Masterly done, together with catching the Passion of both Characters.
