This is really good. The editing is so sharp and on point and the choices you make- like using the shadow girls and having time for almost everyone he abused, is unusual and really adds something. Howvever i have to say my absolute favourite thing is the way you progress from a series of shots looking out of his car where hes not even visable, to his literal actions, to that final reveal of anthy. Its so good and dynamic it makes me want to watch this over and over again.
This is such a wonderful and detailed comment, it makes me so happy!! I'm glad so many of the things I was going for read right, and I'm glad you liked it! Thank you!
god... the moment at 4:22when it all comes together... i spend the first bit thinking akio's 'red right hand' was a metaphor for his car, and just general akio-ness being associated with red but hot damn the framing pulls it off so well and recontextualizes everything in the same way the series does; when you realize anthy's true role in the story. anthy being akio's 'right-hand-man' makes a lot of sense, but then the narrative makes you question *that* too! because, yes, she is complicit-- because akio very intentionally *made her complicit*! he *made* her get her hands dirty enough that he could try to drag her down with him, trying to trap her with her own guilt, and , ughhh. because yeah, no, in the end the Finger on the trigger of a gun cannot be blamed for the shot. if she was his hand he was using her too. feeling a lot of things right now. um. great amv. imma go meltdown in this corner thx
Thank you!! I like to challenge myself to not edit down songs, and figuring out how to make the instrumental break just as engaging as the rest of the video was honestly one of my favorite parts of making this.
I can''t believe this video is THIS fucking good and has so few views. (It's probably because of Akio lol.) If I could throw this to the front page of RUclips I would. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know how legitimately incredible I think this video and your editing are. I could watch this over and over. I'm (re-) learning how to video edit right now and I'm massively obsessed with Utena so you are a super inspiration. Thank you!
God, this is phenomenal. It's really cool to see a character study of Akio when I feel like I see a lot more about Anthy - which is also great, I'm working on one about her myself, but Akio is also so interesting and complex and this vid really captures his insidiousness. And you do such an amazing job utilizing and combining all the beautiful visuals of the show. Amazing song choice and stunning execution, truly.
Thank you so much! He's a very excellent villain because I hate him with a violent passion yet also cannot stop narratively dissecting every aspect of all his actions, haha.
what a gorgeous amv, all the parallel shots are so incredibly well put together. and the way the quick cuts are able to convey multiple concepts in the same line! and the editing is amazing!! and all of the shots are sooo well thought out, it does a really good job of showing Akio's affect on everyone else. amazing!!!
It’d be weird if you didn’t hate Akio with your entire being! This video’s great, love the timing and clip choices! Shows a side of the story I don’t see edited much on here-how everyone ends up so warped up in his lies and illusions. Lots of respect for this one!
Thank you so much!! Akio's such an interesting bad guy in the ways he's both obvious like a mustachio'd cartoon villain and subtle with his machinations. I regret he never gets hit by one of his dumb cars.
Absolute genius! The song fits the clips you've chosen perfectly. I agree, this brings to light the darkness of this series. I LOVE it and will be watching often.
Awesome edit!! Love the song choice and your scene selection was 👌 I’d love if you check out my videos when you get the chance and let me know what you think! I make AMVs and nightcores! Keep up the good work 😋

Stumbled across this and love it, you've captured the psycho-sexual nightmare of the series and the song so well!
Thank you so much! I figured two separately creepy things can only become better combined, haha
genuinely even just the last 30 seconds or so is probably the best thing ive ever seen. this amv is so good i need to lie down like damn
haha thank you!!! that's such a huge compliment

feeling a lot of things right now. um. great amv. imma go meltdown in this corner thx
Thank you for this lovely in depth comment and sorry for accidentally causing a meltdown! haha
Rewatching and I’ve got to say I really love how dynamic you made the instrumental break in this.

I never saw this comment, which is a shame because it made my day! Thank you so much; I hope your video editing is going well!!
This is amazing! I also hate akio but this is a fantastic character study of what makes him a good villain. Plus I love the song
it's SUCH a good and fitting song, right? Thank you so much!

Interesante combinación
Ah from the first time the bells hit with the vid I knew I had to save this to my rewatch playlist
Thank you!! Honestly, the first time the bells hit in the song I knew I had to make a vid with it, haha.
Your anger is talented and productive! I just yell at the screen. Very well done!

This editing is so good!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it!

this is super good! the song choice, choice of clips and the timing is perfect! youve inspired me, im gonna watch utena again
It’d be weird if you didn’t hate Akio with your entire being!
This video’s great, love the timing and clip choices! Shows a side of the story I don’t see edited much on here-how everyone ends up so warped up in his lies and illusions. Lots of respect for this one!

wow. impactful.
That was excellent.
Thank you so much!

Thank you!!
“He is a God,he is a man.....he is a Ghost.”
This was wonderful.
Where did you get such good quality footage?
i did not expect to see this song used for an Utena AMV... i know it from Lloyd being robbed by a senior citizen in Dumb & Dumber
I guess Akio has two red right hands what are the odds😭
this video could also be called "walking red flag" because my guy sure is one!
Awesome edit!! Love the song choice and your scene selection was 👌 I’d love if you check out my videos when you get the chance and let me know what you think! I make AMVs and nightcores! Keep up the good work 😋
XD?
