“Beneath the Sun, do hearts endure?” –CMV/AMV Saturday 3/7/20

https://youtu.be/g2s-4KU8aLo The hauntingly beautiful lyrics sung by Robyn Ardery as written by Mimi-des (@mcarol85) serve as an English cover of Mo Dao Zu Shi's OP, here titled "Drunken Dreams of the Past." They tell the entire story of MDZS for those who are familiar with the plot, and aside from how beautiful it sounds on …

“Don’t you wanna get away?” — CMV/AMV Saturday 7/6/19

It's probably not a secret that I enjoy music from "The Greatest Showman," but seeing this particular song applied to Ouran High School Host Club is something else entirely. BecauseImBored1 did an excellent job using "The Other Side" to tell a very accurate story. In the first part of the song, Tamaki is talking to each …

“And the Bible Didn’t Mention Us” — CMV/AMV Saturday 6/29/19

I don't have any idea what this is, but it's beautiful. I don't know well the song "Sampson" by Regina Spektor (which I love) fits this AMV by SamanthaCaelo, but it's lovely. The comment section told me this ship is from Norigami, which I've only watched a few episodes of with Chronic. It didn't seem …

“Somebody make me feel alive.” — CMV/AMV Saturday (10/20/17)

Let's be real: I have no idea what I'm doing with this. Maybe it sounds ridiculous, but I like Nighcore, the Hakuouki characters, and the song "Shatter Me" by Lindsey Sterling and Lizzy Hale. Combine them and I don't have a choice but to feature it, you see? https://youtu.be/dP_GoPG9ceQ I won't pretend that this AMV by Mitsu …

“All I need’s a little love in my life.” –CMV/AMV Saturday (07/14/18)

I'm laughing at myself because, in spite of recognizing how annoying the sped of version of "Me and My Broken Heart" by Rixton used here is, I couldn't help but keep watching the AMV. And then I couldn't help but want to watch Magic-Kyun! Renaissance again (which is something you should TOTALLY watch if you …

“I’m not looking for somebody with some superhuman gifts.” –CMV/AMV Saturday (06/23/18)

*Amazing featured image by Merwild on DeviantArt* When I stumbled upon this video, my heart swelled within my chest and pressed against my ribs. This video combines one of my favorite songs with one of my favorite anime titles, and I don't know how I didn't realize the representational ACCURACY of the song on our leads' …

“I found a love to carry more than just my secrets.” –CMV/AMV Saturday (06/16/18)

Chi-Chi is often maligned and her relationship with Goku slandered. I won't belabor the point (as I already did so in my Goku and Chi-Chi relationship analysis), but the two share something that is both real and wholly necessary to their character development. ❤ My favorite things about DBZ are often those that go on …

“You touch my hand as colors come alive.” –CMV/AMV Saturday (06/09/18)

Rarely does one find an AMV so well constructed and in which the song and anime mesh so well as to create something that nearly moves one to tears. Everything about this AMV by Emily McNeill makes it one of the best that I've seen. You may recall my musings on The Betrayal Knows My Name; …

“Will I think the world is colder?” –CMV/AMV Saturday (06/02/18)

While not everything in the song aligns perfectly with the story of FMA/B's Edward Elric, there is enough basis to give this AMV by Jan Balcar a real grounding in its storytelling. Before watching this video set to "7 Years" by Lukas Graham, please note that Hohenheim at the beginning is actually intended to be an aged …

“I’m not the one you were meant to find.” –CMV/AMV Saturday (05/26/18)

Homophobia sucks. I find this AMV by Jas Nikiforov uses "Rewrite the Stars" from "The Greatest Showman" highly illustratively in this regard. I can't say what the creator intended, but after watching the video below, please follow up with my commentary if you're interested in my own take on the AMV.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2kXBy1YBAQ While the reasoning behind …
