Accel World Alternate OP (AMV #26) #accel_world

Yay, another AMV! ^_^

Vimeo version.

It’s been a while since I made an AMV. Finally managed to finish this. It’s another AMV of two of my favorite things, Accel World and Eurobeat. ^_^ This time, I used the track “I Can’t Stop Lovin’ You” by dream fighters. The AMV started as an AMV reflecting Haruyuki and Kuroyukihime as lovers.

After making my first Accel World alternate OP, I decided to make this into an alternate OP too. Why? Because I’m lazy. 😀 Making it into an OP means I can limit the length of the AMV. Also, it makes it easier in selecting scenes due to the shorter duration. On almost all my AMVs, I also like to introduce the casts of the anime, so making it into an OP kinda makes it natural.

In this AMV, I also used some fan arts done by these awesome artists I found on pixiv. I used a few of the works from 緋. Looks like he’s an Accel World fan too. Also, he seems to be the only few artists left that still do Accel World fan arts on pixiv after the show ended. I also used one art from なかじまゆか. Looks like he/she is a doujin artist too. Of course, fair warning when going to pixiv site, plenty of NSFW materials.

Now if only Sunrise would do a second season of Accel World. I’m in serious withdrawal here.

 

Cuticle Detective Inaba AMV #cdinaba

I was searching for some anime to fill my watch list while waiting for season 2 of Accel World, and I happened to see this anime on Hulu. Cuticle Detective Inaba. It’s hilarious! 😀 It’s pure silliness. We have Inaba, a cross between human and wolf. He used to work as a detective dog for the police, but now he’s an independent detective searching for his long lost brother. He is a hair fetish, and he can find out details of criminals just by chewing on their hairs. Together, he has two assistants. One is a cross dresser that has a disturbed affection towards him, and second is a normal cat-lover student. His old detective partner frequently asked him to solve various police cases. The series started with a mafia goat making counterfeit money. Yeah, don’t think too much about the details, just enjoy the ride.

This anime is so hilarious that I immediately decided to make an AMV of it, using a fun eurobeat track, Hanky Panky by Bubbles. It’s a short AMV as I just did this overnight, but enjoy! ^_^

 

Karaoke Sub

Ever wonder how the fansubbers do those fancy karaoke subs? Me too. By chance, I actually found somebody subbing one of my AMVs! LOL.

Here’s the original:

Well, from that person’s video title, he/she mentioned Aegisub. Lo and behold, it’s a program specifically made for creating subtitles. It’s available for PC and Mac. I’ll be playing around with this program. Making subtitles manually on iMovie/Final Cut is really time consuming. We’ll see if I learn it good enough to create those fancy subtitles. 😀

 

Year’s End Reflection Part 02

Well, it’s the end of 2012, might as well wrap up my supposedly year’s end “reflection.” Yes, I was going to post more reflections, but ended up being too lazy until it’s, well, just mere hours from new year. 😛

As I have mentioned so many times, Accel World pretty much filled 2012 for me. Not only it brought back my interest into anime, it also made me do AMVs. I started with iMovie as it’s pre-installed on my Mac, and it’s very easy to use. Really, iMovie IMO is THE killer app on the Mac. However, as I progressed, I noticed many of the limitations, mainly the limit on how short a clip can be inserted into the project, the restrictions in titles and fonts, etc. I also started to learn how to sync clips to the music, and to actually think about the lyrics and the meaning in correlation to the clips that I used. As time progresses, I also learn more special effects, like transparency, split screen, etc. It can be seen on the Accel World AMV I made below, using Hikaru no Go’s OP, Get Over by dream. This is also the time I transitioned from iMovie to Final Cut Pro X, as the titles I used were still the simplistic iMovie titles. Kudos to Apple in making Final Cut Pro X more affordable so lay people can actually buy and use this pro software.

I also started mixing my favorite music genre, Eurobeat, in my AMV. The faster tempo and the higher energy of the genre really make Eurobeat a great music for AMV, although the lyrics are usually nonsensical love related theme, which makes it harder to find a good match for an AMV.

The last AMV I made in conjunction to the ending of the Accel World anime is probably my best attempt in making a quick AMV, focusing mostly on synced scenes with the Eurobeat track rather than special effects. Amazingly, it garnered 5000+ views with 20+ likes! Thank you! ^_^

Alas, after Accel World ended, my spirit in making AMVs also went downhill (plus real life stress keep piling up). I hope I can continue in making AMVs.
Well, in time before the new year (at the time of typing). Pretty much 2012 is the year of Accel World for me. Waiting for the second game and the second OVA. I really really wish for the second season!

 

Accel World AMV 22 – Rocketman #accel_world

Haven’t made an AMV for a while, so here’s one, a full length AMV to commemorate the final episode of Accel World! ^_^ Music is Rocketman by Mega NRG Man.
Youtube version:

Dailymotion version:

I mainly focused on Silver Crow/Haruyuki as the “Rocketman,” with various battle scenes including the one from the OVA, but mainly focused on the final battle with Dusk Taker/Seiji Noumi. Hope people enjoy it. ^_^

 

Accel World AMV 16 – I’ll Fly

Well, to commemorate a new arc of Accel World, another Eurobeat AMV! ^_^ This time I picked the song “I’ll Fly” by Candy More, quite an upbeat song. I want to use something upbeat in preparation for the hardship that Haru and friends are going to go through in the upcoming episodes. The AMV is a bit of digest of the first arc with clips from the second arc and of course, the latest episode 14. I was also playing with more video effects and whatnot. Hope people enjoy it. ^_^

Accel World AMV 13 – Power of My Love

Accel World anime was finally resumed from 1 week hiatus. Episode 10 is great as usual, plenty of kawaii moments of Kuroyukihime, Niko, Haru, and even Taku, although it left me wanting more with a cliffhanger of the beginning of battle with Yellow Radio.

Well, to commemorate, another AMV. 😀 This time, it’s about Kuroyukihime’s feeling towards Haru. Power of my love!

Youtube version in case Viddler is slow:

 

Accel World AMV 8 – Super Rider

Whew, another day, another Accel World AMV. ^_^ Can’t have enough Accel World! This time, I’m featuring Ash Roller, Haru/Silve Crow’s first opponent in the Brain Burst fighting game. He rides a motorcycle, thus the idea of pairing him with the Eurobeat track, Super Rider, by Mark Astley.

And Youtube version, in case Viddler is too slow. Hopefully Youtube won’t delete it.

I really enjoyed making this AMV. It’s pretty funny. 😀 I do feel sorry for Silver Crow. ハル,ごめんね。

 

Accel World AMV 6 – I Belong to You

Whew, another AMV done! Number 6, using another awesome eurobeat track, I Belong to You by Stephy. Focusing solely on Haruyuki and Kuroyukihime and their relationship.

Didn’t I say I’m addicted to Accel World? ^_^ Can’t wait for episode 8 tomorrow.

*Edit: Here’s Youtube version in case Viddler is too slow.

 

Accel World AMV 5 – She’s the One

5th Accel World AMV, yay! Now with some Eurobeat flavor, featuring a track by Karen titled “She’s the One.” Hope people enjoy it. ^_^

Oh yeah, where is number 4 you say? I was planning number 4 to be a re-edit of one of my previous AMVs, so it’s a work in progress.

*Edit: Youtube version, before they delete it.
