Anthy - "Cosmic Love"

At first glance Himemiya Anthy is a sweet innocent schoolgirl...at second glance she's an evil manipulative witch.

At third glance she's a little sister besotted by a big brother, a prince, desperately wanting to save him at any cost - even the cost of her self.

Take another look at the complicated motivations of Anthy and her love/hate story that spans the ages and witnesses the evolution of Dios into Akio.

Music: Cosmic Love by Florence & the Machine
Anime: Revolutionary Girl Utena
Genre: Character Study
Focus: Motivation of Himemiya Anthy (her love for Dios/Akio)

COSMIC LOVE
* * *
A falling star fell from your heart and landed in my eyes
I screamed aloud, as it tore through them, and now it's left me blind

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart

And in the dark, I can hear your heartbeat
I tried to find the sound
But then, it stopped, and I was in the darkness,
So darkness I became

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart

I took the stars from my eyes, and then I made a map
And knew that somehow I could find my way back
Then I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too
So I stayed in the darkness with you

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart

I'm convinced. This is THE perfect song for Anthy. And so is this AMV to go with it. <3

[sharnii2]

@Louchan2 I love this song for her too! I guess that's obvious... :D

[IrisBeloved]

This video made me re-fall in love with Utena. Beautifully done.

[sharnii2]

@IrisBeloved That's so cool to hear. <3 And thx for your comment on IRG about the fun of watching me progress! It's fun for me too. :D

[pesimistamente]

Wow. This inspired me so much to draw... thank you so much for such a beautiful result. Please make more, I beg you! It's so hard to find AMVs as good as good as this. I actually got chills :)

@pesimistamente That's great re being inspired to draw. :) Yay!

[karonmoser]

Very well done. I'm not much for Florence, but the lyrics fit, and there's no denying your AMV skills.

You used the last scene in particular quite well. You've managed to put a new spin on it. Anthy gets up and faces the world. She's strong there, rather than desperate or terrified.

Good work.

Too less visualizations for this wonderful AMV.

[Shiroari]

Your Utena AMVs are so wonderful! this one in particular is an absolute favorite - first, because of Anthy, she's always been my favorite with all her different layers of mysteries and hard-to-grasp emotions .

second, because i'm one of those people who simply adores Florence's songs and YOU did marvelously with syncing the emotions invoked by the song with those invoked by the anime.

Oh. Oww. Shiveers *___*

SO BEAUTIFUL *-* I can't describe how is beautiful..no, I can't! <3<3<3

[BleuEyedBrunette1]

Splendid work as always! I love this song.

[bluesparrow]

Loved this!
