LadyKurocan we please talk about what a masterpiece this is? i say this for every mep i host, but i mean it every single time haha so this one was no exception :') i love how everyone developed the theme in their parts. we went for this kind of grunge/rock aesthetic, which in my opinion matched the song perfectly. yeah, the song... what a pain it was to edit haha but everyone absolutely SLAYED IT
special thanks to Gabi (elith) who pulled a super fast and insanely GORGEOUS replacement part, and to Lix (DevianJaylix) and Angie (PinkySugar) for taking part in the mep weeks after everyone else and still managing to deliver perfect parts!
i hope you'll all enjoy this project, everyone who joined should be proud of their own work ♡

i have been waiting for blade's release since i first started playing, please wish me luck because so far my pulls in this game have been ridiculously bad :) i had been thinking about this song for blade and dan heng immediately upon watching the very first "trailer" from several months ago, but i only made myself edit something once the new one came out. tbh i'm still absolutely dreading the idea of editing fx, but something raw and simple here and there could still come every once in a while like in this case!
can't wait to learn about the backstory these two have going on

for the aforementioned reasons, i wouldn't count this as a "new edit" but it's still something isn't it :')
HAPPY BDAY AYATO (and almost one year anniversary since his release too, can't believe it's been so long)
--------------------
footage: genshin impact character: kamisato ayato song: "so beautiful" by DPR ian (slowed)[IDOLiSH7] give it to me (TRIGGER)LadyKuro2023-01-01 | happy new year everyone!
as much as it's just raw and extremely short, this video might come as a surprise, given my announcement from about three months ago. and it comes as a surprise to me as well
i blame it on the new trigger music video (they never disappoint, ZOOL's was also AMAZING) and on the fact that after almost three years i FINALLY got covid as well :) of all times, it had to happen on december 29th so i had to spend NYE by myself... with too much time on my hands, i went back to old habits i guess
still definitely not planning on "fully coming back to editing", for sure not fx. but as i had already said: you never know when the idea/energy for a quick video might come
dedicated to Anna who still hopes she'll be able to forcibly drag me out of the editing retirement facility one day (and because TENN) youtube.com/channel/UCTH7pRIPsvTBBMsFyRtPd_Q

anime: IDOLiSH7 (this MV specifically youtube.com/watch?v=yNJTyXNAJl0) song: youtube.com/watch?v=Ju7_j6UtlQ0 (so glad this song suddenly got popular, CHILDHOOD MEMORIES... i used to be obsessed)announcement (sorry for the black screen)LadyKuro2022-10-02 | this is something I’ve wanted to do for the longest time, a year at the very least (pretty sure I had mentioned it in some previous video of mine), but I guess the sense of “finality” that this sort of announcement would imply always intimidated me. right now though it’s kind of comforting instead: by making a public statement, I won’t be tempted to go back on my resolve since I hate saying one thing in front of everyone and then changing my mind.
i have a serious intention of stopping editing, mep parts/fx for sure, because as much as I used to enjoy seeing the end result, and sometimes the process, it’s something that doesn’t come naturally for me and nowadays it is nothing but a burden. i can’t manage to put out anything I’m satisfied with, and it’s clearly not a phase or some sort of temporary block. which means even that sense of accomplishment and satisfaction that made up for all the frustration… is not there anymore. so what am I trying for? editing is not my career and will never be, I’m not gaining anything out of it, so if I don’t even get enjoyment or any kind of positive feeling, it really is time to give up on it. and as I was saying before, I don’t want to fall back into the temptation of taking another mep part, starting another project and so on, because the initial enthusiasm rapidly fades and only exasperation is left, always, without fail. I lack both motivation and ideas. when either of the two components is missing, one can still try to make up for it somehow, through willpower and hard work, but if there is nothing… there’s no point
I’m leaving all the studios I’m currently in (thank you everyone and sorry to disappoint, both the new and the old), I will not be joining meps anymore unless maybe for birthdays. as for personal projects, I’m not ruling anything out because who knows what might happen in the future, but I won’t be attempting anything at least for a while because when I leave stuff unfinished it’s yet another stab in the heart :’) and I don’t want to feel that anymore
thank you to everyone who’s been watching even just one second of whatever I’ve uploaded here throughout the years, I do have lots of good memories which I’ll be cherishing. I will still be around as a viewer, nowadays watching edits gives me way more happiness than making them… and I know I’ll have plenty of content to enjoy!
-Sophiagenshin impact || send for me (fatui harbingers)LadyKuro2022-09-05 | one hour and a half random spontaneous edit because i'm still in the mood for simping for the harbingers (i think it's a permanent mood)
i tried to give everyone some screentime even though the audio is short because i can't handle anything longer at the moment, even signora at the beginning with the butterfly :')
---------------------
footage: genshin impact song: "woo" by rihanna feat. travis scottgenshin impact || evil, most definitely (pantalone)LadyKuro2022-08-30 | first fx edit since february because i'm struggling terribly at the moment, very low maintenance but i'm just glad it's done :)
i've had this song in mind for a while, even though not with pantalone specifically, then two days ago i started collecting arts of him for no particular reason and this happened
PS: i LOVE the harbingers and when their trailer dropped i lost my mind. looking forward to pantalone and dottore the most (would have included signora in the list, but 💀). i thought it would feel weird to have all these VILLAINS named after comical figures in italian, and it did, but i'm getting used to it

song: "doin' time" by lana del rey (slowed) media: genshin impact character: pantalonevanitas no carte || stranger thingsLadyKuro2022-06-26 | i've had this video stuck in my projects, 80% finished, for the past month or so? and today the day has finally come, it took me way too long to finally edit these last vanitas episodes and when this song by chase atlantic came out at the beginning of may i immediately got the inspiration. the initial plan was to include more of mikhail, domi and jeanne, but as you can see in the end the vanoè drama took over and here we are :)
------------------------
anime: vanitas no carte song: "stranger things" by chase atlanticgenshin impact || wildcard (yelan)LadyKuro2022-05-31 | editing motivation is at an all time low, but i LIVE for the casino/gambling theme so obviously i had to edit with yelan. her character trailer gave me some mild persona 5 vibes, due to the jazzy music mainly, i'd describe it as "persona 5 feat. detective noir with some action" haha this is a song i had also edited with persona 5 back in 2018 in fact, but it was my immediate association with the character and at least i got to edit the drop this time. i struggled so much to cut it though, my first attempt resulted in a 1:30+ long audio that i could have never got done... so i fished back this version i had had in a project since 2017, big thanks to past me
i had a 50/50 to win, but thankfully i managed to get yelan and i have to say she's one of the most fun characters to play so far, according to my taste
--------------------------------------- footage: genshin impact song: "wildcard" by KSHMR[IDOLiSH7] just a little bit (Re:vale)LadyKuro2022-04-15 | it would have been great if this had been done in time for the Re:vale anniversary, but the new song lyrics video came out a little more than 24 hours ago so... with me being the slowest editor ever, it was clearly not gonna happen
tbh i had started this as a random video without a specific concept behind it, i just wanted to have fun with this new Re:vale AU that's been bestowed upon us, but since the song is SO FAST PACED (and a curse to edit) in the end there weren't enough scenes to fill in the gaps. so i had a big brain moment and thought: "what if i incorporated the no doubt/mission AU into this as well?"
basically, the main idea would be the AU in the recent lyrics video for Re:vale's new song "period color" (here: youtube.com/watch?v=SzWw7dqK31g): Yuki is some overworked company CEO (which is actually what led me to this song choice, "working your fingers to the bone" etc.), while Momo is a convenience store worker. they meet through an online game and play together in this game world without knowing each others' irl identities. what i did was adding scenes from the "no doubt" MV, trying to make it into another game they also play together haha being the excessively logical person that i am, i needed a proper explanation as to why they'd randomly show up as a detective and a criminal in the middle of the video. so, in this AU within the AU, "mission" is also a game they both play. and it seems like Yuki is better at this one than the other, since he wins in the end 😂
anyway this is the reason why i made that "mission" login screen at 0:17 and added the game start sound effects. i had a lot of fun with this video actually, editing while trying to convey a certain plot is usually more interesting than merely trying to make things look presentable
happy belated anniversary to the most iconic idol duo 💚💖

anime: IDOLiSH7 song: "just a little bit" by kids of 88genshin impact || you right (ayato vs childe)LadyKuro2022-03-30 | this is the first time i try this kind of "instagram" style and i think... it's not for me lol such a simple edit took hours, i'm just not used to editing clips in after effects :')
anyway this edit kinda happened as a joke, because i had come across that art i put in the intro and as i was listening to this song while studying my brain put the two together hahaha especially considering the fact i've been keeping childe in my main party for a while now, and i plan on giving his spot + his artifacts to ayato when (if) i get him... BETRAYAL
i hope at least it's gonna give me some luck with my pulls! PS: i had also started another ayato video today, which is gonna be way longer and more based on scene selection as usual. i'll probably finish that one after playing his story quest, so i'll be able to use more pretty scenes hopefully

----------------------------
anime: IDOLiSH7 (clips are from the NO DOUBT MV by Re:vale) song: "BAD ALIVE" by WayV[IDOLiSH7] stuck on a feeling (TRIGGER)LadyKuro2022-02-23 | if you had seen the video 5 minutes ago, i had to reupload because there was an issue with the audio and in my rush I HADN'T NOTICED
me, editing fx but it's not a mep part?? blasphemy idek how i did this so fast and without even having to give up on my seven healthy hours of sleep? magic (it won't happen again for the next three years probably)
[copy paste from my upload on instagram 'cause that's where i uploaded first]:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANNA!
i know it's already the 24th in your timezone, BUT NOT IN MINE so i'm definitely not late :) idek how i did this in a little more than a day, but?? it happened. despite me being allergic to fx 🤡 it might have to do with the inspiration i got from all the talk about these three, so..... thank YOU for that
i'll write more later because i gotta be fast or the timezone is not gonna save me either
anime: IDOLiSH7 (TRIGGER specifically, aka most iconic anime idol trio) song: "stuck on a feeling" by prince royce feat. snoop dogggenshin impact || dark horse (yae miko)LadyKuro2022-02-19 | this video is kinda long for my standard, i didn't think i would be able to finish it? several times i thought about cutting the first half and starting from "so you wanna play with magic" directly lol but in the end i pulled through! and the least miss yae miko can do is finally gracing me with her presence, since i spent more than 100 wishes on her banner already and i'm now around 31 pity after losing the 50/50 on jean :)
i had a sudden inspiration for this song because i thought the lyrics and overall vibe would be a perfect match to yae, i had other options but once i thought of dark horse i made up my mind. the video became hard to edit at some point because i kept obsessing over scene selection, but i'm satisfied about the result at least! for sure it wasn't a fast process like my last video with xiao lol i thought i'd be done in a couple of hours like that time, but it wasn't the case
80% of the reason i edited this video though was to dedicate it to my dear friend kristina (theowliefox), certified yae miko simp since the first inazuma trailers 💖 please spare some luck for me........ youtube.com/c/TheOwlieFox
tbh i also really wanted to try pulling for kokomi, but losing this 50/50 screwed my plans. i guess it's time to save for mr ayato
-------------------------
footage: genshin impact character: yae miko song: "dark horse" by katy perryvanitas no carte || a little taste (vanitas & jeanne)LadyKuro2022-01-24 | i got this song in mind in SEPTEMBER, right after i did my first video of these two, and i've been waiting since then for the second part of the anime season to start, to see the gévaudan arc animated and get them scenessss
so here we are now, i couldn't watch the episode on friday because i've been busy, but as soon as i did i cut the song immediately and took this "weight" off my chest haha it's been such a long wait. the funny thing is that vanitas x jeanne isn't even my favorite ship in the manga (i can't choose between noè x vanitas and noè x domi), yet i've edited two videos of them but none of the others. honestly, the animation is so pretty i just feel compelled to put these scenes to good use... and i do like the pairing anyway, they get second place 😂
-------------------------------------
anime: vanitas no carte pairing: vanitas x jeanne song: "a little taste" by skyler stonestreetmy dress up darling || woman (marin)LadyKuro2022-01-17 | literally one hour edit 'cause i was working on one of the last fx parts i have to do and i needed a break :') i had been anticipating this anime since the first trailers came out, because the artstyle looked absolutely gorgeous, and now that two episodes are out i can only confirm that the animation is SO WELL DONE. what kind of budget did they have lol i wonder if they'll keep up the standard for the rest of the season
i also really like this girl, she looks beautiful and she's just as lovely in personality! the way she approached gojo (the male protagonist) really warmed my heart, they're both people who are very passionate about their hobbies and things they like, so seeing them bond over it was so wholesome. especially considering that gojo had always felt like he was "weird" or "wrong", since childhood, for enjoying something tipically feminine like creating clothes for the dolls his grandpa crafted. i hope marin will keep on giving him confidence to be himself and hopefully he'll open up to more people and find other friends
the anime has a little too much fanservice-y scenes for my taste (marin undressed twice in the span of two episodes, ok), but it's not that bad 'cause most of the time i found them quite funny due to gojo's reactions lol which are to be expected from a teenage boy anyway 😂

anime: "my dress up darling" ("sono bisuku dōru wa koi o suru", in japanese) character: marin kitagawa song: "woman" by doja catyuukoku no moriarty || dernière danseLadyKuro2022-01-05 | "new year new me" doesn't apply to editing this anime, definitely... ended 2021 with a moriarty video, it was just fair to start 2022 with another moriarty video 🤷🏻♀️
this is another one of those overused songs i've wanted to edit since forever, and i'm glad i picked it because the vibe fits the scenes so well in my opinion. the original plan was going for a regular sherliam video, but in the end i guess i focused more on william himself? in any case, i had fun even though at one point i did get stuck as usual. but that's the norm, at this point
i did try to match the lyrics here and there, even though idk any french at all

i tried to focus on william's pov, i slowed the song down because i thought it would be easier to edit but i think i dug my own grave instead... slower doesn't always equal easier, still haven't learned that after seven years
i have completely given up on keeping the quality of the clips when uploading to youtube now because it's impossible, especially when it comes to darker scenes (so more than half of this video and the anime itself tbh)
this is 99% my last upload for 2021, so i'll take this chance to wish everyone a great 2022 💖

oh, and the usual complaints about youtube ruining the quality of the clips, but that's nothing new
ECCOMI QUA (insert Cannavacciuolo meme here) sono stata in modalità invisibile per un po' di tempo ormai, lo so, e sono anche un giorno in ritardo 🤡 ma "il pensiero è quello che conta"? spero :'))) cerco di dirmi che così è aumentato anche l'effetto sorpresa, ecco. in realtà sono mesi che penso ad un possibile video per il tuo compleanno, nonostante il piccolo dettaglio di non sapere nemmeno quando fosse esattamente e di non poter chiedere, perchè sarebbe risultato troppo sospetto, altro che dazai con gli occhiali qua hahaha avrei voluto editare qualcosa con noblesse, nei miei progetti iniziali, ma poi non ho avuto proprio tempo di continuare l'anime (attualmente ho a malapena tempo di dormire, spiegherò dopo perchè non è il momento) e mi sono buttata sul multi-anime che forse è stato anche più carino ma sicuramente più difficile. MA NE VALEVA LA PENA, con questa canzone poi 🤭 sono sicura che apprezzerai la scelta! non potevano naturalmente mancare il momento di albert alcolizzato, preceduto da ryunosuke alcolizzato (coincidenza? io credo di no). onestamente mi sono divertita molto ad editare questo video, considerando quanti personaggi che ci piacciono abbiamo in comune 💖 spero che tu abbia passato una bellissima giornata ieri, che anche la torta fosse degna del nostro caro antonino e che in generale nell'ultimo periodo stia andando tutto per il meglio, specialmente considerando le recenti seccature 🥺 colgo l'occasione per ringraziarti ancora di tutte le belle (e spesso comiche haha) conversazioni dei mesi passati, per avermi capita sempre e per aver condiviso con me tanti momenti. per ora passo e chiudo, sto perdendo altre due ore a scrivere la descrizione e qua finisce che il video lo pubblico per il compleanno dell'anno prossimo TANTI AUGURI!

animes (in order of appearance): noblesse, IDOLiSH7, hypnosis mic, hitorijime my hero, kuroshitsuji, free!, yuukoku no moriarty, shingeki no kyojin, bungou stray dogs song: "trouble's coming" by royal bloodU + ME || Vi & Caitlyn (Arcane)LadyKuro2021-12-12 | against all expectations: a super fast personal project
i was listening to my spotify wrapped playlist for 2021 and this song came up, i had been obsessing over it for a while many months ago but never knew what to edit it with... i watched arcane last month though and i finally got an idea for the song! i'm not a league of legends player, i only know some of the characters from edits, friends who talked about them and stuff i've read by myself, but despite that i loved this show beyond words and i highly recommend it even to those people who don't have a single clue about the game. but i mean, the hype for it has skyrocketed so i'm sure 90% of the viewers already knows about it lol
as for the video, i tried matching the two different tones of voice in the song with the two characters. i did the scene selection quite fast, but then the actual editing was a little bit of a challenge since handling this kind of footage is quite different from anime scenes and i kinda didn't know what to do... so it turned out super simple (not that i do much when i edit raw, anyway lol)
special dedication to Kri (theowliefox), who's the one who encouraged me to watch Arcane as it was airing and who also loves this pairing so so much ♡ (the silco edit will come too, one day)
--------------- footage: arcane (league of legends) characters: vi and caitlyn song: "u + me" by killboyvanitas no carte || MAMMAMIALadyKuro2021-11-20 | it's been exactly two months since i uploaded my last personal project (the xiao video), it feels like a lifetime! as i had already said, the time i have at my disposal for editing has been dramatically reduced, so this is the result
i started this video a little more than a week ago, and could only work on it sporadically, but i'm so happy it's done because i REALLY wanted to use this song for vanitas. he fits the chaotic vibe so well, i tried to keep it fun and spicy at the same time (which, again: is a perfect match with his personality, minus the angst that we'll hopefully see later in the anime too). IT WAS SO HARD TO EDIT THOUGH OMG, i had had the idea in mind for a long time in fact but i hadn't dared.......... i died
ofc i had to do one of my usual weird mixes with the song, because i wanted to use certain lyrics to help with the scene selection! so i put a bit of the first verse into the second
so yet another vanitas feat. Måneskin edit, i seem to have a habit of combining artists with certain animes (like billie eilish with moriarty lol)
---------------------- anime: vanitas no carte song: youtube.com/watch?v=Ex037JX3-BI[SNS] redemption (MEP collection)LadyKuro2021-11-11 | here's whatever i've managed to edit during the june-october period :') one notable thing about this collection is how in several occasions i've done more than one part for the same mep, which is something unusual when it comes to fx (even the first bit with heathens was a half replacement for a mep i had already done a part for, which is in my previous collection). so i now wonder why i manage to do this, but still can't bring myself to finish a whole fx personal video nowadays lol
this should be my second to last collection, i plan on posting the final one at the beginning of 2022 to gather the few other parts i have to do + anything else i might end up joining in the meantime and then that's gonna be the end of my mep career 😂 i'm still evaluating if that's also gonna be the end of my editing career overall, i honestly don't have free time at all atm so even if i wanted to continue... it would be difficult to be consistent with uploads
also, i know, there's a little bit of anime in this genshin impact compilation :/ idk how it got there, silly me

that said, never in my life had i ever done FOUR whole parts in an fx mep and: i am deceased LOL especially because part 10 was done in like five hours overall, please don't look at it :) tbh i'm so busy atm that i have no idea where i found the time to do everything, but i guess knowing this was a collaboration involving several people gave me the motivation 🤣 once and never again though
PS: special thanks also to microsoft edge, 'cause i've spent 45 minutes trying to upload from google chrome with no success. i tried to change browsers out of desperation and it worked, bless
happy halloween 2021 everyone, we hope you'll enjoy the video 🎃

footage: genshin impact character: xiao song: "industry baby" by lil nas x[Free!] drowning (hiyori x ikuya)LadyKuro2021-09-15 | me 🤝 raw editing lately
due to this beautiful video i got as a present for my birthday youtube.com/watch?v=mLANEttqgbo the hiyori x ikuya mood has been pretty strong in the past couple of days. by going through one of my playlists i ran into this song, which i've wanted to edit with them for a long time because the lyrics were just perfect (please check them out), - plus the idea of "drowning", considering the anime is about swimming, you know - and here we are. once again, the video was done very fast somehow
i'd like to personally apologize to mr haruka nanase for always making him look like "the main threat that comes between hiyori and ikuya", but 1) i love angst 2) i'm just exhasperating what was already in the anime tbh
of course everything is from hiyori's pov, he's the one i empathize with the most between the two and i usually tend to edit according to the character whose struggles i feel the most, in this kind of video
that said, i've decided that i'll probably quit editing by the end of 2021. i'm just tired and dissatisfied about everything at this point, so i think my time has finally come. there are still some projects that i'd like to get done before that, mep parts included (plus my own mep that's very close to completion thankfully), so i'm giving myself these last months to work on those
this is still not 100% set in stone, i'll see how i feel about it later on i guess, but i've been thinking about it for a while. i'll message studio leaders in due time of course
-----------------------------
anime: free! dive to the future pairing: hiyori x ikuya song: "drowning" by always nevervanitas no carte || ohmami (vanitas & jeanne)LadyKuro2021-09-11 | back at it again with one of those "sudden inspiration, edited at the speed of light" videos!
in short, i've been listening to this song SO MUCH during the past couple of weeks, 'cause i often get hooked on songs way past their release, and i really wanted to use it but i didn't know what anime to go for. yesterday past midnight after i got home from bday celebrations i watched the new vanitas episode and my brain immediately said "USE OHMAMI" so here we are
chase atlantic officially takes the throne as the artists whose songs i've edited the most, this is the 8th and only two of these were for meps... the rest was all personal videos. funny because i often go insane with all those beats their songs usually have
honestly vanitas is wayyyy too charming for his own good, can't blame jeanne ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and i'll say it again, the animation is so pretty and the thought of what the pandora hearts anime could have been in this style... i just want to cry
------------------
anime: vanitas no carte pairing: vanitas x jeanne song: "OHMAMI" by Chase Atlantic (slightly pitched)genshin impact || lovely (raiden shogun/baal)LadyKuro2021-08-27 | her character trailer has been living in my mind rent free ever since i watched it and today for some reason i imagined it with this song, needless to say THE MOMENT I ARRIVED HOME i ignored everything, threw myself at the computer and did this super fast :')
anyway i'm finally at my own house again and my internet is back, it's been three difficult weeks but somehow i survived. all hail wifi
----------------------
footage: genshin impact character: baal aka the raiden shogun aka electro goddess aka potentially my favorite archon, i'll confirm when the next part of the quest is released. i didn't know someone would override zhongli for me lol song: "lovely" by billie eilish and khalid, this version: youtube.com/watch?v=BW6fOwJ5otE
i also added some rain sound effects, since it's raining in the footage and i thought it would create a "lovely" (badum tssss) atmospherevanitas no carte || morirò da reLadyKuro2021-08-19 | i almost took longer to upload this than to edit it omg
as i've already said, i'm stuck somewhere with little to no phone reception until the end of august, which obviously also means no internet 99% of the time. i'm suffering. i can edit at the moment, i have downloaded more or less what i need about a week ago when i was home for one day, but as i'm sure you can imagine the whole process is considerably slowed down without a working connection :') anyway, this is a video i did on a whim while taking a break from mep parts because as always inspiration is nowhere to be found
it's the first time i edit with a song in italian, which is my native language, and it didn't feel as weird as i thought it would haha but given how popular Måneskin has become since eurovision, i'm sure many will appreciate the song choice. the title means "i'll die like a king", i tried to match the lyrics with the scenes and the general vibe so please do check out the translation for the rest!
idek what i was trying to accomplish with this video though lol there are like four different pairings in it, but when every single scene looks so beautiful i can't help but use it :))
-------------------
anime: vanitas no carte song: "morirò da re" by Måneskinyuukoku no moriarty || hit and runLadyKuro2021-08-09 | FINALLY DONE WITH THIS VIDEO
I started it in April because I thought the song fit the anime perfectly, and the plan was to wait for more episodes to come out so I could progressively add scenes. the thing is, if I don’t finish something within 3/4 days, I never do 🤡 so it stayed there 90% done until today. I even chose the worst moment possible to work on it, since I’ve been staying at a house on the beach since august 2nd and there is no internet connection at all there… not even good phone reception actually, I have to walk around like an idiot just to send a message on WhatsApp. I feel like I’ve been cast away on a deserted island 🥲 but I’ve come back home for one day thankfully, so I could download some stuff to watch + edit when I’m there. this is also the reason why i haven't been able to reply to comments lately, i'll make up for it as soon as i can
I’m even writing the description from my phone because the video was actually finished more than an hour ago, but my family decided to be a nuisance as usual and I can’t find five minutes to sit down at the computer in peace
anyway, finally a Moriarty video that isn’t Sherliam lol there are so many good characters I wanted to focus on :’) this was more about the "lord of crime" group, with william, albert, louis, fred, moran, jack and bond (i also wanted to include herder and patterson, but i couldn't find suitable scenes). i'm also planning another about just the moriarty brothers!
————————————
anime: yuukoku no moriarty song: “hit and run” by LOLOvanitas no carte || the take downLadyKuro2021-07-28 | i don't have much to say about this, i made it in less than two hours because today's been a terrible day and i needed distractions lol plus i've wanted to edit the vanitas anime ever since the first episode aired. i've been reading this manga since day one, due to the fact that it's by the same author of pandora hearts which, i'll never stop saying this, is my favorite manga ever and will always be. so of course i was hyped beyond words when the anime series was announced, with this specific animation studio, no less. i haven't been disappointed so far, i just hope they won't stray from the plot like they did for the PH anime and break my heart
i didn't have anything specific in mind, so the whole concept of the video is basically: vanitas being pretty and charming everyone :)
--------------------
anime: vanitas no carte song: youtube.com/watch?v=BRygKaJYl5gyuukoku no moriarty || illuminated (sherliam)LadyKuro2021-07-25 | ok, i really had told myself i would take a break from editing this pairing for a bit and focus on something else (MAYBE THAT ONE VIDEO WITH THIS SAME ANIME THAT I SHOULD HAVE FINISHED MONTHS AGO), but it came to my knowledge that this past week would be "sherliam week 2021" (i think it's a twitter thing mainly?) and i would have never forgiven myself if i had missed the occasion... so on tuesday i did 90% of this video super fast, planning on uploading it today, since every day of the week had a specific theme and sunday was the only "free day". now, you'd say, "so you had A LOT of time to make any kind of adjustments you wanted to the video, since you were so far ahead on tuesday already, right?". wrong. and the reason is INAZUMA (for whoever doesn't play genshin impact, the game got a huge update on wednesday and i basically got sucked in)
so tbh it's kind of a miracle i managed to be on time, especially because today hasn't been the best day for editing overall 'cause my family decided to argue even more than usual and i wasn't exactly in an environment that allowed me to focus on anything :') but anyway, it's done. i had to choose angst this time because the last video was all fun and games, to change things up a bit at least
this is another one of those really old songs that i've always wanted to edit, i'm picking back up so many of these lately haha i think it fits the last episode of the anime really well! also, when was the last time i edited something that was more than 1:30 long? 2017 probably. ah, the power yuukoku no moriarty holds over me
-----------------
anime: yuukoku no moriarty pairing: sherlock x william song: youtube.com/watch?v=3iVRXPvXjjoyuukoku no moriarty || your mind (sherliam)LadyKuro2021-07-14 | *dj khaled voice* ANOTHER ONE
so yes, here's my fourth moriarty video ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
honestly i decided i would edit this song with sherlock and william wayyy long ago, i think season 2 hadn't even started airing? 'cause it fits SO PERFECTLY with the way they're drawn to each other since they're both geniuses (sherlock especially, if you look up "whipped" on the dictionary you'll get a picture of this man next to the definition). i thought it would be super fun, and i wasn't wrong! plus it's always nice to go back and have a revival with songs that used to be popular in the editing community several years ago haha i'm sure everyone who's been editing for a while will remember swagstudios' mep with it. good old times
this isn't even that other moriarty video i keep mentioning, which is still unfinished 'cause i keep being swept away by other projects 🤡 talking about other projects, the other day i bet with myself that if italy won the euro 2020 football final i would edit a 30+ seconds long full fx video... and i intend to keep my promise, so let's see what i can do :')
PS: i shall give parts for "i wanna be your slave" today/tomorrow maximum, i would have done so days ago already but i'm struggling a little 😂

song: youtube.com/watch?v=rhQftHLS0gwyuukoku no moriarty || hurricane (sherliam)LadyKuro2021-06-29 | i knew this video was coming before i even started it :) just the thought of the final episode of the anime, which aired on sunday, gave me so many ideas and i've been looking forward to it since i read these chapters in the manga. i wasn't even sure they would animate this part at first, but here we are! and i think they did a decent job, there's just one thing that majorly bothers me and that is:
in the manga, when sherlock jumps off the bridge after liam and then embraces him, he says: "i finally caught you". that was a clear reference to those times when william told him "catch me if you can, mr holmes/sherlock" in other occasions and IDK WHY THEY HAD TO OVERLOOK THIS LINE?? it was one of my favorite moments, i seriously don't understand. not like they had to animate anything else, it was just ONE LINE that the voice actor had to say. but ok
don't even get me started on how much i love these two because i'd write a whole book, so i'll keep it short: they are the definition of soulmates and my poor heart can't handle it. can't wait to see them in action together again in the manga, hopefully soon
there were several songs i could have used, but i suddenly thought of this one and even though i've already edited it in... 2015 lol, good old times, i still went for it because i just loved the atmosphere it brought to the scenes. then the voiceovers landed the final blow, i basically died inside while editing this because i was drowning in my own feelings, but i hope it was worth it!
i still have another yuukoku no moriarty video that's 80% done, it's the one i mentioned in my previous upload, but i had to put it on hold because this clearly had priority 😂 plus another one that's also in the works, but it's still at the "i cut the audio and saved the project" stage so that's gonna take a little longer. for sure i'll edit with this anime for a looooong while, and when i'm not a coward with the manga too :)
-----------------
anime: yuukoku no moriarty song: "hurricane" by 30 seconds to marsyuukoku no moriarty || crownLadyKuro2021-06-19 | when the moriarty mood hits, it just hits (even though this has been a constant mood since i read the manga in april lol)
i edited this super fast, it was supposed to be the chorus only at first and in the end i added a bit of a verse, which was a little challenging because of how i had to cut the audio (if you listen to the original song, you'll notice i had to mix things up a bit) and i'm glad i did. i kinda wanted to wait until tomorrow before finalizing the video, since the new episode is coming out and i might have had some more good scenes at my disposal, but since i'm also working on another moriarty video anyway i decided to just go for it
the other video i mentioned is gonna focus on more characters! PS: only after finishing the edit, i realized i used a song by billie eilish for this anime AGAIN. i had always wanted to edit this one in particular, i had put it into a project years ago and changed anime twice, but here we are now because of a sudden inspiration :')
------------------------------
anime: yuukoku no moriarty song: "you should see me in a crown" by billie eilish[SNS] middle of june (MEP collection)LadyKuro2021-06-13 | this new mep collection came sooner than expected after the last one! i don't have much to say about it tbh, i'm neither particularly satisfied or unsatisfied with it lol one thing i'm happy about though is having edited with manga again, the last manga part i did left me completely drained and i truly didn't like the outcome. this time i had more fun and most of all i could use yuukoku no moriarty, which is my biggest obsession at the moment and literally the no.1 reason i signed up for that mep :') once again: PLEASE READ/WATCH IT
PS: pls appreciate how the lyrics of one of the songs say "late nights in the middle of june" and this collection is actually being uploaded in the middle of june
parts 12 and 13 footage: fugou keiji: balance unlimited; bungou stray dogs characters: daisuke kanbe; fyodor dostoevsky full mep: youtube.com/watch?v=Q2qsGVVsta0
part 14 footage: IDOLiSH7 pairing: yuki x momo full mep: youtube.com/watch?v=PPcPSE9diq0MAMBO (anime mix)LadyKuro2021-06-07 | for whoever had already seen this half an hour ago, i had to reupload because there was an issue with the audio and it was bothering me too much lol
this was just a little project i started for fun last year, 'cause i got the song in my spotify recommendations and thought it was really catchy, and left unfinished for whatever reason lol today i decided to complete it on a whim! i really like working on synching the scenes with the beat in this kind of "dance themed" videos, as i always say, so the editing process was quite refreshing :D
-----------------------------------
song: youtube.com/watch?v=m_N1UiaHx-E animes (in order of appearance): dance with devils; IDOLiSH7; yuri on ice; touken ranbu; fugou keiji: balance unlimited; free!; obey me; shingeki no bahamut; kakegurui; yuukoku no moriarty; death parade[Yuri on Ice] when were naked (/ω\)LadyKuro2021-05-30 | it's been more than one year since i last uploaded a mep part by itself rather than in a collection, but i've worked so hard and for so long on this one that i just had to lol when i tell you i spent almost one hour just to make that flower jump like that..... plus all the masks i had to do............. bye
so i waited for the finished mep to be up, i did that poor excuse of an intro in five minutes with stuff i recycled from the part itself and here we are haha the very fact this part was finished in the end is kind of a miracle, since when i was almost done with it i had to send my laptop to repair and it stayed there almost three weeks 🤦🏻♀️
i always say this, but i still haven't got over my problem with editing colorful stuff so this was A STRUGGLE. i was extremely inspired for this part though because when the signup was posted the moment i heard the lyrics i KNEW that i wanted to try joining and that i would use yuri on ice... the scene of viktor banging on yuuri's door in one of the first episodes went perfectly with the chorus and if i hadn't asked for that part i would have regretted it for the rest of my life haha all considered i did have fun, even though as i said it took quite a while before i figured out how to match the colors without making everything look like a mess :')
lastly, i'd like to thank the leaders for letting me join the studio! dorkus seems like such a fun group to be in and i'm looking forward to all the future projects 💖
PS: the mep came out SO GOOD?? no words honestly, i'll be replaying it everyday until september at the very least
------------------------------ anime: yuri on ice (viktor x yuuri) song: youtube.com/watch?v=mPu493Zi_08 full mep: youtu.be/1_wLn69kdvkbungou stray dogs || montero (soukoku)LadyKuro2021-05-11 | i've honestly forgotten the last time i had been so addicted to a song before this lol it's been more than a month of listening to it daily and i'm still not tired of it?? so anyway, i knew i wanted to edit montero, i cut the audio almost two weeks ago and started on my old half dead laptop, but had to wait until i got my decent one back from repair before continuing 😅 then of course when the video was 80% done i had to get stuck and put it aside for quite a while, in the end i decided to speedrun through it today because otherwise i would have never finished it as it always happens
i've also noticed that it seems like i have a trend with editing bungou stray dogs and dazai/chuuya in particular in the month of may. i did the same both in 2019 and 2020 for some reason 😂 but anyway in this case i was immediately inspired to edit the song with this pairing because of the lyrics in the first verse, they fit quite well with some of the anime scenes so i went for it without thinking twice
PS: this is not a "thank you for 25k subs" video obviously, since it was started a while ago without this intention, but i'd still like to say thank you! maybe this would be a good time to pick back up one of my unfinished projects from last year (sour candy video i'm looking at you) and actually edit something proper for once :')
PPS: youtube likes playing games as always and decided that the upload quality would be a hundred times worse than the original. alright
----------------
anime: bungou stray dogs pairing: dazai x chuuya song: "montero" by lil nas xyuukoku no moriarty || my strange addictionLadyKuro2021-04-20 | i had to edit this on my old laptop because my new one is currently on repair, it has been for almost a week now and i'm about to die because editing on this thing is nearly impossible. i managed to finish this video only because it's raw, i won't even attempt fx to avoid a mental breakdown :)
hi i'm happy to present you one of my favorite things atm (and most likely for a long time)
i had watched the first two episodes of this anime back in autumn when it started airing, then i forgot about it for some unknown reason and remembered to catch up only in february. i binged the remaining nine episodes in two days and eagerly waited for the second season, which started airing two weeks ago. honestly i already loved the anime a lot, since the sherlock holmes universe is something i enjoy in any context (the james bond elements were the cherry on top tbh), but then i went ahead and read the manga last week and i can confidently say i'd put it in my top 3 favorite mangas without thinking twice, i'm obsessed. no doubt they'll have to cut out a lot of stuff from the anime, which obviously makes me kinda sad, but i'm still so excited to see certain scenes...... i'm not ready
as for the video itself, OF COURSE i had to ship sherlock and william :') their dynamic is something i adore, they're both unbelievably smart and yet so different in their personalities but the way they understand and can relate to one another builds a connection they wouldn't be able to have with anyone else. i already quite liked this pairing when i had watched the anime alone, then the manga happened (chapters 53 and 55 i'm looking at you) and that "quite liked" was multiplied tenfold. if they manage to put those scenes in the anime season as well i'm gonna cry. and if they don't, i'm still gonna cry
so i'm begging you on my knees PLEASE READ THIS MANGA 'CAUSE IT DESERVES SO MUCH ATTENTION
PS: for who read the manga (no spoilers really, but if you haven't read it you won't understand a word of what i'm saying lol): how do you think they're gonna handle the anime adaptation? i have a feeling they're gonna skip the part about moran's past, which makes me kinda upset but it was probably the only thing they could skip without compromising the general plot, and then speedrun through the mary arc? next episode is gonna be jack the ripper, i'm assuming they'll also skip the bank incident with bond. IDK HOW TO FEEL ABOUT THIS, but of one thing i'm sure: we're gonna see milverton soon and i've never wanted to punch a 2d man this badly
--------------------
anime: yuukoku no moriarty song: "my strange addiction" by billie eilishKILLSHOT || BISHIE MEPLadyKuro2021-04-01 | i'm so excited and proud to finally upload this mep, it might have become my favorite among the ones i've hosted so far! first and foremost, thank you so much to all the participants who were all very reliable and followed the theme/color scheme perfectly. there are so many good characters in this, i'm sure the viewers will enjoy them as much as i do 👀
the idea we were going for was "charming characters", along with the vintage VHS vibe which suits the song very nicely in my opinion
thank you everyone once again, i think i'll be rewatching this everyday from now on 🥺

song: "Killshot" by Magdalena Bay[SK8] joe is stunninLadyKuro2021-03-23 | third sk8 video in a row? yes sir
long story short, a couple of days ago this song came up in my playlist, it's quite popular but i hadn't listened to it in a while, and i suddenly realized that it's literally joe's theme song?? so now everytime i see his face the song starts playing in my head and i absolutely had to make a video lol
it had started as a "serious" edit, but once i had the idea of synching with the beat that scene where cherry kicks him in the ass i laughed so hard that i had to sprinkle some comedy in and i think this made it so much better haha he acts all smooth and playboy-ish, but he's a meme especially when paired up with cherry 👏
--------------------
song: youtube.com/watch?v=Qgduhk26sIw anime: sk8 the infinity[SK8] teenage dream (reki x langa)LadyKuro2021-03-11 | you could basically call this a cure for the other sk8 the infinity video i posted last friday haha that one went hard with the angst and pain (like we aren't experiencing enough in the anime itself already), this one takes the complete opposite direction! i tried to go for a lighthearted happy mood, but also emotional at the same time? this song popped into my head randomly about two weeks ago, the original plan wasn't using it with sk8 but here we are. and i regret nothing, because it fits their young love/crush dynamic so nicely 🥺 to the point that i got so invested that after i was done with the scene selection yesterday i ended up rewatching the video like 10 times before going to bed and smiling to myself lol i hadn't felt this happy while editing a video since 2016 probably
maybe someone watched my stream two days ago where i was cutting clips from every single episode in preparation to this video, i hope all that hard work payed off 💕
PS: one day i'll also do a video about cherry and joe because those two 100% fall into my favorite shipping trope and i love them (plus i have a song in mind)
------------------------
anime: sk8 the infinity pairing: reki x langa song: "teenage dream" by katy perryempty (sk8 the infinity)LadyKuro2021-03-05 | this video was supposed to be done about two weeks ago when episode 7 came out, but i didn't have time back then so here it is now! i did this quite fast, thankfully, just a couple of hours. is anyone ready for tomorrow's episode? 'cause i surely am not
i tried to focus on reki and all the negative feelings he's been piling up, on how he lost the enthusiasm and fun he found in skateboarding and the disconnect he now feels towards langa. i thought the lyrics of the song fit pretty nicely! tbh i had another video in mind with it, with a different anime, but then that episode happened and i found a new connection haha
----------------
anime: sk8 the infinity song: "empty" by chase atlantic[SNS] after dark (MEP collection)LadyKuro2021-02-26 | can't believe there's just three raw parts in this collection and the rest is all fx? i've definitely edited too much of that in the past months, i feel like i need a break :/ i say, as i look at my upcoming parts list and cry
what makes me most happy about this collection is that all of these parts, except from the "paradise circus" and the "looking at me" one, were edited with my new laptop which i've finally transitioned to for good! sometimes i still find myself looking for some overlay or effect setting that i forgot to move from the old laptop, but i quickly find an alternative solution because i have no intention of switching that thing on ever again :')
as usual there are parts i like and parts i really don't like, but i hope you enjoy them
PS: sorry if some of the transitions between parts are kinda abrupt and not so pleasing to the eye/ears, but my sony vegas decided that trimming footage is something worth crashing over every 20 seconds so at one point i gave up and just rendered lol

part 12 footage: idolish7 pairing: yuki x banri full mep: youtube.com/watch?v=h1Rud3DUsUA[K Project] take you to heavenLadyKuro2021-01-30 | it's been almost three months without uploading anything, and i haven't really edited raw lately? and since this song came out a couple of days ago, i wanted to do something quick with it. i didn't really know what to edit though, and in these cases i always use my wildcard aka k project LOL in the end i think it kinda fits? the first half of the video is from mikoto's perspective, towards totsuka, the second is from reisi's perspective, towards mikoto. also, first raw video i edit on my new laptop! after effects is GREAT, but for some reason sony vegas is very laggy (worse than on my previous computer) so i struggled a bit. maybe i need to update it 'cause i'm still using 13 lol but i'm not one who gives up on old habits easily
i have quite a few fx parts ready, plus a couple of others that are gonna be finished very soon, so i should upload a collection within 2/3 weeks maximum
--------------------
anime: k project song: "slide" by chase atlanticeat you up at 3am (RAW MEP collection)LadyKuro2020-11-10 | i decided to put all these parts together because they're so many it would have been difficult to include them with fx ones in a "normal" collection while keeping it at a reasonable length, and the idea of separating parts that are from the same mep in two different collections bothered me lol so this is an almost 2:30 long collection that only covers four projects in total :') less effort for me to write the description, yay
plus the fact that i had also done intros for these projects and one of these parts was the last in its mep allowed me to avoid doing another intro/outro for the collection itself. GREAT
it's kinda funny how this collection is literally: SPICY PARTS ➡ intermission: ANGST ➡ SPICY PARTS

i've become addicted to the "MORE" song by K/DA that was released recently, i did think about editing that one but i ended up editing the music video instead lol the reason is that my friend kristina (theowliefox) is a huge K/DA fan, of ahri and evelynn in particular, and i wanted to do something for her. THIS IS ALL YOURS BRO, i hope it makes you happy ;)
