Wild Charge Radical Yue 2023-09-05 | So this was not actually the video I was planning to make this year.I hunted for roughly 2 or 3 weeks for a song to go with a big AMV idea I've had for a couple years now and along the way I found a whole pile of great new music that I saved to a playlist. About a month into editing my other idea I realized there was probably not going to be any possible way for me to complete it in any less than 6 months and there was just about a month and a half left until the NDK deadline.In my depression I went back to the playlist of music that I often listen to and while skipping around on random I came across this song again. It was at that moment where I'm like "...You fool. Edit THIS. You can make THIS." and finally connected the dots with my incredibly sludgy brain.I've been feeling super imposter syndrome-y regarding my editing in addition to having...let's call them emotional hang ups to not dive into the unpleasantness I've been experiencing for some time regarding them.I decided that the only way I'd allow myself to make this video is if I did so entirely incognito. The judging for NDK is already blind and I'm required to vote myself out if I'm in attendance for it, but I wanted layers. I didn't tell anyone what I was working on or even the genre of my video, I just edited. I eventually cracked near the end and showed one of my best homies a beta but that's really it.I felt like, if I could make it into the contest, with the odds stacked against me as I'm naturally required to vote against myself, and if I could perform well in the contest...then maybe, just maybe it would help me feel like less of a failure.And I did it. I've been going through a tough time lately emotionally so just having that small win, even if I didn't take my category, really helped remind me that maybe I'm not the absolute worst at all this? The odds were stacked against me but I still managed my goal and that's enough for me.As for the video itself, I've been watching Pokemon since it first debuted in America. I'm a 90s kid so I grew up with it. I fell off of the anime around Sinnoh as a lot of people did but I really dived back in with Sun and Moon (which I hated lol) and finally Journeys (which I didn't hate.) - Ya'll, if you haven't watched this last season of Pokemon, it's so fucking good. It starts off a little meandery but it develops into an amazing season and fantastic journey for Ash. It''s so rewarding as a fan to finally see him use everything he's learned over the years in battle while having this killer team. All the callbacks and rivals that make appearances while still having a silly good time make this season a blast.I really wanted a video that kinda captured that. It starts off more on the goofy side but as it goes on it slowly puts on it's serious face. There were still so many moments from the series I wanted to include but I struggled to include them all. I just wanted to try and give each of Ash's Pokemon a moment to look cool before ending on the big battle with Leon. I actually considered extending the song a couple times to focus more on that final battle but it became to repetitive so a lot of compromises were made and I decided to just stick to that final 1 on 1 as that was the first bit I put on the timeline.I also decided to not use any movies, promos, intros or endings in this video. While the animation in those pieces are beautiful and make for easy editing, I really wanted the focus to be on the series that stole my heart and gave OG Pokemon fans the win they deserved.So I hope people can enjoy this silly little video~!- Big thanks to all the Twitch Streamers that allowed me to lurk and terrorize their lovely communities while I edited. I'm lookin' at you, EvilToaster, itsgambl3r, MatPewPew and DSPStanky.
Nan Desu Kan 2023 AMV Contest Intro Radical Yue 2023-09-05 | This year was a rough year due to a lot of IRL issues. I had a ton of work dumped on me last minute by someone refusing to let anyone know he was releasing his duties and then just about a week before the con, while I was still trying to finish the intro, I found out my dog is terminal. Nothing like sobbing over a timeline while being so exhausted your vision is blurry more often than it's not, am I right?!I only had about a day and a half to edit so I basically had to fully rely on anime intros, which I really don't like to do. It's good footage but it makes me feel cheap having the entire video consist of them. Luckily the song that @KisanziVNS found is an absolute fucking banger so it was at least a blast to edit to during the moments of clear head space.Next year I really want to make up for it but hey, we still got that 1 singular vote that noted the intro as their best in show pick, like we do every year, so at least 1 person enjoyed it hahaI want to say I'll provide an anime list for it but to be honest I'm just really hecking tired and have a lot going on so while I'll try, it's not at the top of my list :xAnd of course major thanks to Kisanzi for doing the intro and ending text and effects!Thanks again for all the support and love!
Nan Desu Kan 2022 AMV Contest Intro Radical Yue 2022-09-04 | So last year I was horribly depressed and I produced a contest intro that wasn't even 2 minutes long and edited not so well. I'm still depressed but this time the intro is long! Very long lolBut seriously, there has been some great news I've received in regards to the con as a whole and that revitalized my excitement to knock out work for it. Hence why I'm back with an extra long intro featuring plenty of stupid, on the nose dad lyric sync that makes me laugh AND dog wife. All praise to dog wife Korone.Big thanks to Kisanzi for yet again providing me with the song and MoonlightSoldier for providing me some footage hahaLET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, DUDE
Nan Desu Kan 2021 AMV Contest Intro Radical Yue 2021-09-10 | Honestly, this was a very difficult year. What with prepping for my first artist alley, a lot of depression, anxiety, and all the other general stress, I feel like this is by far my worst intro. Which freaking blows because I love the song a lot and have been looking forward to editing it since 2019 when I was originally presented with it as an Option A but chose to go with Option B for the more party-vibes.So yeah, I struggled with this intro, cut corners, and it's so much shorter than normal. I'm sorry I couldn't provide a better opener to the contest. I let everyone, especially myself, down.
[24 Hour IC] What the hell is cohesion? Radical Yue 2021-04-19 | So we decided to do a little 24 hour IC this weekend where we all submit 1 song to create a pack and we could use any source we wanted. Only rule was not to use your own song. Pretty simple stuff.I actually started a totally different idea at first and it wasn't until 4pm (the IC ended at midnight) that I decided to totally swap the song and source I was using for something else since I just wasn't enjoying working on the first video.Of course my Virtual Dub decided to choke on the codecs that the episodes were encoded with so each episode took around 30 - 40 minutes to render. Because of this I wasn't able to format the video like I typically would want to or what I originally had in mind. Like, this is a slop fest as a whole.I wanted to try doing it in my old editing style with lot's of fades and flashes but honestly, I was so frustrated by the footage prep issues I just totally went off the rails. Legit, at one point I was waiting 40 minutes for the 1st episode while only having the OP to work with. I am not a happy camper.But yeah, the ending is a cop out and I don't even care anymore. My timeline was filled. It's done. It's over. Bite me.
[MEP] Here But Maybe Later Radical Yue 2020-09-05 | So this was actually the brainchild of Moonpie. She messaged me out of nowhere and was like "We should do an MEP with some of the editors who normally go to NDK since we all can't hang out this year!"A bunch of us had an itch to edit and loved the sentiment so we said "HECK YEAH" and decided to go for it.We wanted to make something that we all put a decent chunk of effort into while also having some fun. This is a video that shouldn't be taken too seriously as it's really just a bunch of buddies trying to have a good time but I know a lot of the editors who took part in it really pushed themselves to try new things or learn new techniques.Mega ultra credit to ailynerie for really busting ass and providing feedback for literally every track.2020 has absolutely sucked but all praise be to the mighty internet for letting us still connect and have some fun together making AMVs.
Super Casanova Radical Yue 2019-09-10 | Anime: Outlaw StarAudio: Living Legend by Club DangerDownload Link: animemusicvideos.org/members/members_videoinfo.php?v=204928So I was trying to figure out what my next project would be and I was really struggling, to be honest. I was watching a bunch of new anime and while I enjoyed it none of it was really clicking for me, ya know?Then while scrolling through Twitter I saw an announcement for a bluray remaster of one of my favorite shows from when I was a kid. That's when it hit me that all those shows I loved growing up are getting remastered and beautiful HD releases! I decided I'd take a step backwards into the past and make a video using one of my favorite anime from when I was about 12/13 years old, Outlaw Star.This video is honestly the equivalent of a bro. It's very cocky, in your face, with not a whole lot of substance beyond being a badass and I'm totally OK with that. It felt really freakin' nice to just make something that was actiony and explosion filled for a change. I really, really had a blast working on this video and streaming a good chunk of my progress on Twitch.This song was a killer find and holy crap such a good time to edit to!
Streamed 2 Hour IC w/Aerialesque Radical Yue 2019-04-27 | So I fully streamed IC'ing against Aerialesque on my Twitch channel and here is the final product.I've never seen this anime before and Katalyst provided the song.
Catalyst [Collab with Aerialesque] Radical Yue 2019-01-07 | CDVVVNS FTWAerialesque: youtube.com/user/AerialesqueAMV(I'll link to her upload here AS SOON AS SHE UPLOADS IT.)SO. UH.Aerialesque and I actually made this back in August for Nan Desu Kan's AMV contest in September 2018.We were gonna go back and fix a bunch of stuff we didn't like about it that played in the contest version but then that never happened so HERE IT IS IN ALL IT'S BUSTED GLORY.Basically, we both wanted to enter NDK but neither of us had any great ideas and I had this song and I was all "Dusti. Collab?" and she was like "SONG! YES. OK!"We went with a visual aesthetic of only using dusk/night scenes to fit the general idea and feel of the song. It started as a general "life and experiences at night" kind of video and quickly devolved into the sappy romantic abomination that it is today.In all honesty though, I had a blast working on this video with Aerialesque. Like, chatting about editing during the day, sitting up on VCs, sharing betas, etc. was so much fun. We were both up until like 3am one night just dumping light leaks on the video, neither of us coherent or actually caring what it looked like, but jumping dumping them everywhere (Praise old faithful) and that was so god damn fun.The title is a nod to our friend Katalyst who sat there patiently with us on Discord, waiting to play Overwatch with us as we bitched about lip flap, swinging from fire escapes, and the fact that they really don't do anything at all in Kimi Ni Todoke.Also, those band girls are totally lesbians. They don't know it but they are.
Nan Desu Kan 2018 AMV Contest Intro Radical Yue 2018-09-04 | For the last two years we had gone with more serious, sentimental songs due to the 20th anniversary and the loss of DJ Ben. This year, I kinda wanted to bring it back and I had Kisanzi find me a bouncy, kinda mindless song to just make something fun. I really, really enjoyed editing this and I actually streamed the majority of it on my Twitch Channel where people hung out, watched, and commented. It was a blast to make and I'm pretty happy with how it came out.
Going Digital Radical Yue 2018-05-23 | HQ Download: animemusicvideos.org/members/members_videoinfo.php?v=203740OK, so...where to start?This is a video I had wanted to make for many, many years. I've always been a massive Digimon fan since it first came on when I was 8 years old. I was hooked from Day 1 and it still is my favorite anime of all time 20 years later. I remember waking up early every Saturday morning to watch the newest episode on Fox Kids, going to see Digimon the movie in theaters with my little Gabumon toy and Digivice in my pocket, collecting everything I could find from the show in regards to toys, magazines that mentioned it, and even a comic about the first time Gabumon digivoles to Garurumon. Of course I was into shows like Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh! as a kid too, but Digimon was very special for me. The characters had flaws that they worked through and did their best to become better people. What starts as a generic show for little kids has more depth by the end of it than most anime I see nowadays. Depression, divorce, learning to be responsible, learning to care, and more were things these characters struggled with and it really meant a lot to me. The first 3 seasons of Digimon especially are some of the most special of all time for me personally.Now! About the video itself. As I said, I've always wanted to make this. There were a couple times throughout the years where I thought I found a song, where I had tried to collab with some friends, and where I'd stay up all night searching for the right song only to end with nothing gained.Then one night Kisanzi pops in a CD that he had just burned with a ton of new music he found. He stops at a gas station and leaves the music going while he runs inside and this song starts up. Holy shit. I sat there and right away my eyes were ready to fall out of my skull I was so hit by it. I couldn't picture anything else but Digimon and I had these transitions in my head that looked kinda like circuit boards. He came back to the car and I asked him if he had any plans for that particular song. His response was that he knew of quite a few shows that could work with it but he hadn't actually watched any of them so he'd say it was up for grabs.I claimed it. I claimed that god damn song so hard.(Fun fact: "A show like Digimon" was one that crossed his mind but again, he never watched it so nyeeeh :P)At the time when I very first started this video there were no BDs available, only crappy rips online. I was going to make it work. I set to work cleaning footage episode by episode for months. It was old and washed out and interlacing all to hell, but I was determined to make it work. I prepped the first 2 seasons over the course of 3 months when one day it was announced that they'd be releasing special BDs for the anniversary of Adventure. I won't deny, I died a bit inside. BUT this was a video I wanted to do right so I decided to wait. And wait. And wait. Oh, they're going to release Adventure 02 on BD too? Well, time to wait some more. :|Needless to say, I waited a long god damn time. When I finally had all my footage ready I was so incredibly excited to work on this project. I really wanted to use Digimon Tamers (S3) so badly too but there were no announced plans to release a BD of it and I was already struggling to fit all the bits I loved from the show in. The original Adventure is amazing and Terriermon is my favorite Digimon of all time so using the first series and then the movies were priority for me. Adventure 02 was still a fantastic series though so obviously I had to have a good chunk of it for balance and because it's got some great moments, especially in regards to the character Ken. Even then, I'm still missing so much. Wizardmon, Leomon, and all the heartache and highstakes that come from fighting baddies like Myotismon. I could honestly make endless videos about this show but I really wanted to do just one.The editing itself is overall very simple as it typically is from me. I didn't want to bog down the simple but pretty art style with over the top nonsensical effects so I tried my best to keep it clean and fitting. I really don't have a whole lot to say about the editing itself to be honest, but I do want to thank Kisanzi for helping me get those circuits looking exactly how I wanted them to look. They went through quite a few iterations before getting them down right.I submit this video to a fair amount of conventions over the year(s) that I spent working on it on and off, but it really didn't land anywhere. Connichi got the most finished version in 2017 since I love those sweet German boys and girls. It's a video that I didn't expect to succeed at conventions or in general contests and I'm alright with that. It's not perfect and it's aimed at a very specific viewer, me.So I hope you enjoy my little love song to Digimon. I've been putting off releasing it for quite some time now but today I feel motivated so let's fucking go boys. :kolorDab:
Nan Desu Kan 2017 AMV Contest Intro Radical Yue 2017-09-05 | So, normally the contest intro goal is to showcase a bunch of fun and hype anime to get the audience pumped prior to the contest starting. This one has that but is a bit more feels focused....A good friend and staff member passed away this year and this intro and basically the contest as a whole is dedicated to him. I stuck with a fair amount of the popular anime but I also tried to feature shows that I knew he personally loved a lot. Ben was a kind, fun, and overall amazing person. He made an impression on every person he met and he will be missed dearly by each of them, especially those of us on staff at NDK.
Convalesce Radical Yue 2017-09-02 | Download Link: animemusicvideos.org/members/members_videoinfo.php?v=202954So I was going through a bunch of music one night when I found this song. I hadn't seen A Silent Voice or any AMVs with it yet (I hadn't been watching stuff for a bit) but I had this faint feeling that the combo might work well. The same night I found the song I grabbed the movie, watched it, and fell in love with it.I avoided watching any and all AMVs with the source while working on the video since after scanning the internet for about 5 seconds I saw it was THE source to use. I really wanted to do my own thing just for me, so that's what I did. It heavily focuses on Shouko and her side of things. I really identified with Shouya on a personal level but her story hurt me; the way she tried so hard to reach out and was just shut down. The second someone gives her a chance they see what a beautiful person she is. It really broke me.I tried to do a contrast of showing past and present. The climax, while being the climax of the movie, tries to highlight how those past scars can follow you, no matter how much you've tried to erase them. But at the same time, it's never too late to reach out and start again.I know the video will be hard to follow for those unfamiliar but hopefully those who have seen the movie will enjoy it enough. :pMassive thanks to ailynerie, Aerialesque, and Kisanzi for beta testing and of course President Matt Damon for being an A++ Mercy Main.
[Overwatch] Dog - McCree - Wild Wild West - Highlight Video Radical Yue 2017-04-14 | (Check out the amazing musical dog at twitch.tv/ow_dog)OK, so the other night I fell asleep at midnight and woke up at 3am. I couldn't sleep and I ended up on my PC browsing through old music when I stumbled across this song. (This horrible, horrible song.)It clicked with me since I've started watching this awesome player named Dog and McCree is one of his mains. I had been asked in the past if I'd be interested in making highlight videos for a team but I passed on it since it's not really my thing. But I had the idea and I ran with it. I have to say, this video was a struggle but also insanely fun. The lack of changing speed and applying effects to work with the sync was fucking painful. But at the same time it was incredibly fun to edit with how fluid so much of the gameplay is. Dog didn't totally hate it (God, I was nervous to show anyone this .-. Literally was shaking when I posted it on Discord) and I'm actually probably going to do another for his amazing Tracer play so I figured I'd switch this from Unlisted to Public. Seriously, check out this dude's twitch. He's awesome and incredibly talented. Not only does he play Overwatch like a God but he also plays the melodica and accordion live on stream!
Dazzling Inferno [AMV Roulette Non-Competing Entry] Radical Yue 2017-03-06 | So, I help run a contest called AMV Roulette where 3 wheels are spun to determine video genre, audio genre, and a special requirement. This year Round 2 had pop music, action video, 10 seconds of characters wearing capes. Since I've had the itch to make something quick and easy I decided I'd join my own contest and make a non-competing entry since they're not judged and it seemed like an incredibly easy combo.I remembered they had capes in Little Witch Academia and it took a good 5 minutes to find the song since I just needed something broad and actiony. The video really doesn't capture the charm or wonder that is this fantastic show but I'm alright with it being basically a 2 day edit. The song was a metric ton of fun to work with. Like seriously. Holy crap it was FUN. So I got no regrets~
Make Believe Radical Yue 2016-09-26 | OK. So, I wasn't planning on ever releasing this video. Ever.But, I've been getting enough people pinging me about it that it's honestly starting to get annoying. It's totally my fault for putting it into the world in the first place so I fuck it. It's going up. Happy? I'm not.This is a video that I had actually been working on for AWA 2013. So yeah, I know that there are other Penguindrum videos out there that are significantly better and make this video look like slop in comparison. Well, I couldn't finish the video in time for the deadline so it was delayed. Then I got injured and couldn't even wear headphones without intense pain for almost a full year, causing additional delays. Then I basically had a version finished but Kisanzi pointed out that it would look waaay better if I used the gray effect on her more through the video before the song breaks out. I agreed and this caused even more delays since masking it all took a metric ton of time (I hate you, stars) and I was working on other projects and contests which meant that this was very, very, very low priority.Then I finished masking it all around the start of 2016 but I couldn't get the effects to look exactly how I wanted and honestly, I just didn't care anymore. I have been so over this video for so freaking long. The only reason I kept coming back to it was because I felt I had put so much work into it that I couldn't bring myself to drop it. I didn't want all that time to go to waste. It's funny that I wasn't planning on releasing it even after that was my motivation to "finish it" (or at least get it to the point that it's at, still unfinished) but hey, that's how it goes.At this point there is still so much more that could be done with it but I really don't want to edit this AMV anymore. I've totally deleted the project files so credits aren't even going to happen.I sent it to NDK because Aerialesque guilt tripped me into it and I sent it to Connichi because the Germans are an awesome group and they were looking for exclusive entries for their AMV contest but I wouldn't have the actual video I was working on done in time.My original idea behind the video was the idea of the family that is created in Penguindrum. There are major spoilers to follow, so if you haven't watched the show then please don't read this. The siblings aren't really siblings. They come together by fate (or DESTIIINNNNYYYY) but try so hard to be a real family that they thought by playing make believe long enough, it would actually happen. One thing leads to another and the family is broken up over the course of the show, but in the end they'll still give everything they have for each other and primarily, their sister. She is the glue that holds them together and without a second thought, they're willing to give their lives and very existence for her. Penguindrum has so many amazing themes and symbolism in it, but this is what stood out the most to me. In a show that most write off as chaos, you have some lonely kids that want nothing more than to be happy with their sister. And shut up about Ringo. She's in the finale because of reasons and I couldn't find a happy medium to integrate her in. I hate everything. Go away.
Sassyfrazzin [MEP] Radical Yue 2016-09-13 | Sassy: Lively, bold, and full of spirit; cheeky.Frazzing: Frantic, ineffective multitasking, typically with the delusion that you are getting a lot done. The quality of the work, however, is poor. Often performed by the frazzled.This MEP was actually a ton of fun. About 3 weeks before the NDK deadline ailynerie and I were discussing how you couldn't rely on people when it came to MEPs and collabs. Naturally, this led to us deciding to host an MEP. This was actually the backup song that had been considered for the contest intro but lost out to the more touchy feely one. I still liked it quite a bit and really wanted to see something made with it so I showed it to ailynerie and she agreed that it was pretty damn great. So yeah, MEP time.We basically went down the list of people that were 100% going to the con and were like "You have 24 hours to pick a track and decide whether or not you're in." and somehow we got all these poor bastards to sign up for it.The deadline was literally 1 week from when we started it and somehow we're all still friends. You can tell by the pictures at the end. I love you guys. I'm so sorry.I'm not really. Kisanzi came up with the title. Praise the Rat King.

Nan Desu Kan 2016 AMV Contest Intro - 20 Years of Anime - 96 - 16 Radical Yue 2016-09-07 | This intro was actually pretty special to me. It's using one of my favorite songs that actually makes me tear up almost every time I hear it and it's an intro I've been looking forward to making for quite a while now. While editing wise, it is easily the most simple intro I've done to date, I did my best to do the song justice while making sure the focus remained on the anime.Anime-wise, I did flub a couple years that didn't have many stand out series by using series that were technically on-going at that point or had OVAs that came out. I also tried to cheat the system and get great anime in by skipping the series and using movies since certain years just had an overflow of amazing shows that had came out. And of course, I did include a handful for myself and a few good friends who would be in attendance. Even then though, I still had to cut so many good shows and it breaks my heart.Special thanks go to...Kisanzi for making the intro the video in AEAzexous for his massive Naruto supplyMamo! for being my magical Sailor Moon scene finderailynerie for her knowledge of basketball boysArdamaeus for knowing every anime everValion for dealing with my last minute finishing of the damn thingand Baseball.

For The Team Radical Yue 2015-08-24 | Originally I made this for NDK but since it didn't make the cut I figured I'd upload it now lolSong:Guy SebastianLike A Drum (The Chaimsmokers Remix)Anime:Free! - Eternal SummerFree! - Iwatobi Swim Club (TV)CommentsSo, I watched Free! for the plot. I'm totally serious about that. :P While the manmeat aspect of the anime is nice and all, I actually enjoy sports anime quite a bit. I don't watch a ton since quite a few franchises now span many YEARS but I've adored the ones I have seen. Free! was a show I originally decided to check out on a whim. It had been out for about a year at that point and all I had seen were super duper gay videos (I don't say that as a bad thing). It was actually one of these super duper gay videos that made me want to watch, "You Wanna?" by Mamo!. It's a super fun video and I felt like watching something to put me in a good mood. I finished season 1 in about a week and while it wasn't the best show ever it left me in a good mood and a feeling of "that was fun times." so I was quite pleased with it. Season 2 was actually just about to come out but I don't like watching anime as they air so I put that out of my mind. Flash forward about a year and I find this song in my subscriptions. It was actually a reupload of a song that had apparently been posted quite a while ago but I totally missed it the first time around. It gave me the same kind of feels that I had when I watched Free! so I thought I should check out Season 2 and maybe an idea would pan out. What I had heard about season 2 wasn't the best though. Everyone talks about how they didn't like the characters, the plot, etc. so I was a bit wary going into it. According to the majority of the internet, season 2 is horrid with the exception of the editing credits with Cop Rin thrusting. But by episode 3 I was hooked. Season 1 was happy fun times with a bit of backstory and some swimming but Season 2 is a sports anime. The characters all push themselves and grow to become better than when they started as opposed to learning lessons they promptly forget the next episode, rivals of equal skill are introduced to create a new challenge while building on the original, and the overall story is one of figuring out who you really are as a person and fighting for what is important to you. I genuinely enjoyed it and actually cried when it was all over. Yeah, I'm a big softy and anime makes me cry :P Wanna fight about it? But yeah, the editing in this video isn't anything crazy special and I was able to edit it pretty quickly since everything just kind of fell into place exactly how I wanted. While the manmeat is great, I adored Free! for it's characters and their dedication to the team and their goals. Story wise (is there a story? I don't know anymore) it's basically friends who aren't friends anymore but then they decide to get the band back together minus Red HairMcGoo. Red HairMcGoo sees that he misses it, joins them for an epic swim and then is frenz again. Then it finishes off with the new team doing their thang. Soooo... Yue made another AMV. 2 in 1 year? I must be dying or something. Crap.

Collide Radical Yue 2015-04-28 | http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members/members_videoinfo.php?v=198275Song:Like Satellites - Manufactured Superstars Ft. Danni RougeAnime:Waiting In The Summer Comments:Funtime back story yay~ So basically I had this song and I really wanted to make a video to it. I showed it to Kisanzi and he said I should check out Waiting In The Summer because even though he hadn't seen it yet he thought it would work. I watched it, it gave me all the feels, and I made this video. Back story over. 1/10, would not read again. But seriously, I ended up absolutely falling in love with the show. The characters were phenomenal, the story tugged at my heart place, and even now I wish there was more. This video was actually started about a year ago but was pushed back due to a pretty nasty worker's comp injury that ruined my life for a while and the fact that there wasn't enough footage to work with and I really needed the OVA which wasn't coming out for quite a long time. That second part also ruined my life for a while. The editing isn't anything super special, just the basic stuff I'm known for but a bit more zoomy. :p Also I had to try and find a way to work in the alien stuff. Fuck that alien stuff. I need more beach scenes and boob sync. Either way, I really hope more people check out the show because even as I scrubbed through footage and cursed the gods because I was failing miserably while attempting to edit, I still couldn't bring myself to drop the video because I freakin' loved the source (and this song) so damn much. So yeah. Yue made a video. Massive, massive thanks to Kisanzi and Aerialesque for their beta testing and feedback. You guys are pretty cool.

Secret Santa 2014 - For Blaksun Radical Yue 2014-12-29 | Anime: Battle AngelAudio: Absolution - The Pretty RecklessI signed up for the A-M-V.org Secret Santa 2014 (hosted by Kimberly) this year and I got Blaksun o:He requested an action video with either Battle Angel or Soul Eater and because I'm a masochist, I went with the incredibly old Battle Angel!Truth be told, I watched it and it's pretty fantastic. The ending was a bit rushed but beyond that it gave me many feels. The video itself is something that you probably won't be able to follow without knowledge of the series since I cut out a lot of "major plot points" but considering I was making it for a guy that had seen it and requested this particular anime I didn't really mind too much.The show is old as balls and has a ton of frameblending issues though so there were quite a few scenes where I had to go through frame by frame and cut out the extra messed up gunk so that's a thing @_@But yeah! Secret Santa! Old anime! Punching and shit! Overall, I had fun and I hope Blaksun enjoys it :p

NDK Iron Chef - In The Name of the Moon... Radical Yue 2014-09-16 | This is a recording of a game played at Nan Desu Kan's 2014 Iron Chef. Again, since the theme of the IC was "Do You Believe In Magic?" Kisanzi came up with a special idea of having audience members come up and recite Sailor Moon lines while wearing the wig for prizes. Originally, we were going to have 3 people come up and say lines but this gentlemen was the only one manly enough to come up and squeak out lines for us like a pro. Good on you, sir!

After selecting two entrants who were quite hungry, they were each given a box of Lucky Charms and had to eat as much as they could while the video "Go Home Homura, You're Drunk" played. Whoever ate the most would be declared the winner!
