Angelique "When the Heart Awakens" OP+ED.
Myco, Eternal Snow
Intros to each of The Pet Shop of Horrors' four episodes. I've reduced the audio volume a bit. These are the Dream-Anime fansubs.
From "Hellcats," Experiment 02x07. Original 512x384 has been boxed into 640x480. When I first saw this scene (the one that occur around the one minute mark) on Comedy Central many years ago, I had to do a double take at what was implied. IMO, one of the most horrible/funniest quips in the whole series.
The NCOP for Pita Ten. It's a cute, relatively harmless series. the ever-annoying Hiroshi is probably my favorite character. OP song is "Wake Up Angel" by Funta. It's okay, but IMO the best song is on the OST; it isn't an opening or closing credit sequence.
Intro/Outro of Fancy Lala. I like the closing theme a bit. It's provided without subs, because they take up too much real estate in the already-shrunken frames. For those who don't know, Fancy Lala is a magical girl anime similar to Full Moon wo Sagashite, but minus any real romantic factor, and deals with some of the tough situations (divorce, dealing with the cutthroat business of being an idol and the sacrifices to childhood made, infidelity - though not death) a little more realistically than Full Moon did. Some people think the ending is sad, but I think it's a perfectly-done hopeful ending.
Requested clip from Act 14, Part 1. Beginning of the Act. Ahiru's dream sequence of dancing with the prince concludes a little unexpectedly.
This is a requested clip, from episode 5, "On the eve of the Fire Festival." Rue should be practicing her dance moves with Mytho, but she hasn't shown up at the dance studio. Ahiru's nearby on janitorial duty, and Mytho pulls her in for a brief dance. Her mop bucket (ugh) comes in handy at the end of the clip, though.
Live variant. This is Shakugan no Shana's first OP song.
Note: This video is full of spoilers, and will likely ruin the anime experience if you watch if before the series itself, unless you're good at selective short term memory! This is the first and only "AMV" that I made some time ago when I was trying to learn how to use video editing software. I did try to make the video match the audio where possible, but please forgive the amateur quality and transitions! It was an interesting experimentation until the software crashed too often for me to want to work on it anymore. Theme: The relationship between Mitsuki and Takuto Video Source: a.f.k.'s Full Moon AVIs. Audio Source: DJ Pezz and Kristen's "What It Is You See." Hope you enjoyed the series as much as I did.
A clip from Episode 0508 (Operation Double 007"). Torgo remembered to bring back the drinks!
This is a clip related to the Manos The Hands of Fate experiment. Mike, as Torgo, is one of the worst pizza delivery guys ever.
This is the clip of the "pop star tupperware container" invention exchange that the Mad Scientists have developed. He he, Mike Nelson really convinced me he was Morrissey when I first saw this on Comedy Central when I was much younger and more impressionable. "Did I mention that I cried?"
This clip contains (IMO) the most humorous parts of the "Last Clear Chance" short. Quick background: This is a safety film warning about the dangers of reckless driving. The main issue discussed before we get to the clip (as we see here) is the infamous car vs. train. Will out participants be smart enough to avoid embroiling themselves in such a situation? "Can you identify this bucket full of your brother?"
This is a clip from Dai Mahou Touge. It describes how Punie managed to secure Paya-tan as her mascot. I'm not sure how to describe this series; it's like a trip into delirium from the little portions of it that I did watch. We have a cute magical girl princess from another world named Punie. Check. We have a little doggie/unicorn mascot named Paya-tan who speaks all cutesy and high-pitched. Check. We have copious unnecessary deaths, bloodletting, and wanton destruction. By our two protagonists above. Um... check? Card Captor Sakura, this is not! There's some fighting and a little blood, but nothing worse than PG-13. Plus, it's anime blood :)
A clip from episode 26. And so, we bring this series to its conclusion. The clip starts in the surreal, whacked-out world of despair where Rue is trapped, then moves to a scene where a beaten down Ahiru the duck faces a citty of ravens. Fakir writes the story and Ahiru gets another beatdown. How suspenseful! The full, total, complete ending? Not here; I've heard people say they loved it and others felt betrayed by it. This is the denouement of the story anyways; the conclusion, while needed, is a cool-down of sorts.
A clip from episode 25. Ahiru and Fakir are both drowning, and succumbing to Drosselmeyer's terrible fate. As they descend, they realize their goals are identical, and their roles are two parts of a whole. And so they dance (of course) and ascend...
A clip from episode 24. We're approaching critical mass in this clip. I'm reminded of Yeats' "The Second Coming:" things fall apart, the center cannot hold; mere anarchy is loosened on the world. What we've got here is Mytho in raven form, the pieces of him begging Princess Tutu not to do what she intends, Princess Claire (or "Kraehe") finding out her true parental origins, and a huge monster raven looming over the horizon. Oh boy.
A clip from episode 23. Another one of my favorite scenes. Tutu has gone into the crazy world of Drosselmeyer to stop him from perverting the fairy tale further. She must escape from this mad realm, and leaps into the light, into... In this scene, if classical music were not the theme of the series, I can easily imagine hearing the refrain from Erasure's "In My Arms" playing as Princess Tutu leaps through the gate of light.
A clip from episode 22. Uh oh... Neko-Sensei wishes to talk to Ahiru one-on-one. Does he have a genuine interest in her studies at the academy, or is he considering her as a mate? Knowing the teacher, likely both!
