“Love me cancerously… She moves through moonbeams slowly. She knows just how to hold me.” — CMV/AMV Saturday (04/10/21)

Svattii and her girlfriend Mishkali are professional cosplayers (and, in Svattii's case, a photographer as well) with oodles of talent and abundant creativity. They've done TONS of awesome work in various anime fandoms, but something about this cosplay music video set to Love Me Dead by Ludo is just on a whole other level! As …

And the Beat Goes On — Responding to the “Music & Me Tag”

I've been tagged for a few challenges lately that I've decided to get a move onto! In this case, I was tagged by Annie over on Evening Tea Musings to participate in either the gaming tag or music tag. I'm not much of a gamer, so I decided to respond to the music tag alone. …

“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 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 …

“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 …

“I’m prisoner in paradise.” — CMV/AMV Saturday (04/21/18)

I don't know how I managed to hold out publishing this post for a whole week, but... One of the strangest, most intensely produced, most majestic cosplay MVs that I've seen is on offer this Saturday; get ready to become a prisoner in paradise with 慕容輝's (Murong Hui's) video: https://youtu.be/eF_ND_ZkdQg Yes, the 240p quality of this video …

“Tell me where you are so I can stop and take a breath.”–CMV/AMV Saturday (03/22/18)

No, you're not wrong; it's not Saturday, but I couldn't wait to implement this new concept for the blog, so... Welcome to a new feature! In addition to Fanfiction Friday, I've decided on a whim to implement a new segment that I think will prove to be quite entertaining; CMV/AMV Saturday will focus on highlighting …
