My submission to the 2010 Otakon AMV contest under Serious/Drama. Unfortunately, I did not make the finals, so I'll be posting this early.

Overall, I loved the series When they Cry, but there don't seem to be enough serious AMVs about it. Most AMVs try to be creepy or funny (making fun of its creepiness). I think there is a lot of serious story and drama potential here. At the beginning of season 2 (Higurashi No Naku Kornoni Kai), Rika suffers from depression... This really connected with me, so I wanted to explore a character profile from this perspective. In my eyes, Rika has the most interesting perspective in the whole anime.

Adam's song has the best emotional connection with what I feel Rika feels. It is difficult to make a perfect connection between lyrics and AMV, but I've done the best I could.

A high quality video download will be avaliable on the Org.

Anime: Higurashi no Naku koroni (When they Cry)
Song: Adam's Song by Blink182

  • LOVED IT!!!!! :D

  • @xhollowman123x Thanks for your response :-) I'm glad you liked it.

  • Shocked to see this didn't make the finals. I really enjoyed it. Too bad there is no overflow this year, I would have liked to see this on the big screen

  • @Orenjiday It looks like they did manage to schedule 2 hours of overflow. I'll be there for sure :-)

  • @dragontamer

    I saw it!! Looked real nice on the big screen :) Mine was the Kare Kano one, I know it wasn't as good as yours but I was really happy to get to see my amv up there too. You may have saw me, I was the crazy chick who ran to Vic to get my video played when he first announced the beginning of the event XDD

  • @Orenjiday I heard a massive groan from the audiance for mine though :-( Glad to know you enjoyed it. I enjoyed watching it on the big screen myself, lol. You sure you're the crazy chick? Cause I was the FIRST one to get in. Little did I know that VicBond was doing it in reverse order. Lol.

see all

    Ooooh don't worry about the audience, they always do that if they don't like the footage or the song choice. I got a groan and an "OH GOD NO!!" Last year cause I used Digimon and 4 minutes by Justin Timberlake and Madonna. But at the end people clapped lol :P You were first? Nice lol I probably saw you

  • @dragontamer

    Yeah I saw!! I'm so excited, I'll be clapping for yours :)
