Weiss Kreuz - Freude

An action/character-profile of Aya Fujimiya, the angsty florist-assassin swordsman of Weiss. The video has been long in the making, but I think turned out better in the long run for the wait. I drew footage not only from the Weiss Kreuz television series, OAVs, and Gluhen, but two of the "Music Clip Animation" videos (Tokyo Sling and Carnival 2000) in making this video.

While I'd originally conceived of the video with an Aya/Omi bent, as I got deeper into the editing I realized pretty quickly that wasn't going to work out. As a result, there's a little bit of everyone paired off with Aya, except perhaps Sakura and Asami, as neither particularly worked in the context of the video. They're probably better off not in there anyhow as Aya comes off as a bit of an abusive boyfriend anyhow. ;)

"Freude" is German for "Joy", the name of the song by VNV Nation that I used in this video.

VNV Nation rules and good job of mixing the music with the pictures

[productionswtf]

Thanks! They're my favorite band, so I wanted to do them justice with this vid. :)

ok so i have seen in the end when the little boy stabs aya but is there another season or does the show juts end there?

[productionswtf]

To date there's no more anime, but there's a manga series running in Japan right now called "Side B" that follows what happened afterwards. In the manga, Aya is rescued shortly after the stabbing and lives. He and Ken move to England and join an assassin team called Kriptonbrand Side B. There's quite a bit of it out already; I have five volumes of it from Japan, and it's still running in Ward magazine. It's definitely worth checking out if you love Weiss.

you did an awesome job with this; the music and scenes blended really well. though aya comes across as a cold killer, the song added a layer of angst over his actions. i haven't seen 'gluhen' but this video is convincing me to check it out.

[productionswtf]

Definitely check out Gluhen! It's my favorite series of the three. It takes some adjusting to (since there's only one mission, rather than one per episode), but it's a good story overall with new characters to boot.
