This is goin out to 2 princesses, the princess of r&b and of the moon. Couldn't fit my entire post in the description box so I had to break some parts down, you can check it all out on the org. This is one of the first animes I got into growing up, in the mornings and especially Saturdays Sailor Moon wuz one of the cartoons me and my brothers and sisters would check out and record. When they moved Sailor Moon onto Toonami 5 days a week it wuz a fuckin wrap. Read the mangas later on and the anime spanned 5 series and 3 movies so when opportunites came I made sure to catch them on dvd, the last series I had to get online since it wuz never dubbed. Before I started editing this I rewatched all 200 eps and the movies to get ammo for this amv. I don't care to mention to folks that imma Sailor Moon fan, I mean what guy who watched the show didnt have a crush on at least one of the sailor scouts LOL? Including their elemental powers there were traits I liked from all of them and it wuz interesting to find out they were all princesses from planets in the solar system but Serena I liked the most and the main reason is this, she is funny as hell. That quality and others like her low academic and house skills, klutziness, friendly persona and growth as a powerful leader made her more natural and human to me. If I could go back to when I started my anime tribute vids last year I would make her my #1 favorite female in anime instead of #2 but all well, they're both pretty high numbers. Darien's the cool and collected type but he does have his moments when he steps outta the box with his humor, and homeboi knows how to wear a suit and robe. Not to mention uses roses as potential weapons to kick some asses and he always has Sailor Moon's back when she needs help. The disputes he and Serena had before they hooked up were hilarious and made their bond stronger when their memories from the past century came back. SerenaxDarien wuz the first anime couple I wuz exposed to and brought the world of anime even closer to me in that category. Aside from Fei and Elly from the fantastic video game Xenogears, this is the only other couple I know that has been killed and reborn across different eras of history to prove how important and beneficial their love is to each other and all life in the universe. Twice. This and other qualities like nostalgia makes SerenaxDarien my #1 favorite couple in anime to this day. Both were fated to create universal peace thru marriage and thru this amv you'll see the journey they make towards it.

From the time I decided to edit amvs I knew that I would make an r&b Sailor Moon vid from a female artist, the question wuz which artist would that be. There were songs from many artists that I wanted to use but late in '08 I settled on using a song from the late and great princess of r&b, Aaliyah. I speak for all those who lived and experienced the joys of r&b music during the 90s when I say you can't NOT have Aaliyah as one of the artists who represented. Beautiful, intelligent, good-natured, strong-willed, talented, the girl had it all. Unexpectedly and quite tragically she died at the young age of 22 in a plane accident almost a decade ago leaving an enormous hole to all those who cared and knew her, her fans, and the music industry. Through even death though and to this day she continues to inspire people who listens to her music and she remains a faithful musical artist. One of the reasons I chose Aaliyah for this amv is to show that life before and after death can leave permenant marks on lives. Life, death, and life after death as well as love are a few of the themes of this anime and I tried to show those links between Aaliyah and Sailor Moon in this amv.

Through almost 2 months I spent 83 hours creating this, aside from this amv I've made only 1 romance amv from a female artist and since I only like girls I had to make this amv from the mindset of one liking a guy..........O_O I managed while trying to keep my sanity as a heterosexual male LOL!! Knowing that my girl's a bigger Sailor Moon fan than I am I showed her a rough draft of this and the look on her face wuz priceless. When she saw the final version this past Sunday it brought tears to her eyes, she's a big fan of Aaliyah too so I'm glad she enjoyed it. I hope other fans of Sailor Moon and Aaliyah enjoys this amv too to the fullest and want to give one last big shout out to one of my favorite female music artists, I dedicate this amv to you in your memory and thank you for everything.

Hey bro, I don't know if you're still around but do you or anyone know the name of the song you used for the intro. Loved the video by the way, proud to say iv seen all 200 episodes.

[JwalkZer0]

@fancy I downloaded it from Adult Swim's website back in 2001 but they took the link down when they reformatted the site in 2004. The name they had for it wuz Adult Swim's Saturday Anime Lineup but I doubt you'll find it. I'll send you the track Saturday.
