Xophi: "This is literally the first time I've given a shit about Gundam."
I always thought that one of the interesting aspects of the Gundam series that I've watched is their unflinching portrayal of war despite the glory lavished on the mechas in the center of the spotlight. In particular Gundam series often linger on the cost to innocents caught in the crossfire, as well as upon the losses and psychological costs suffered by the soldiers fighting it. I'd been meaning to edit a video with those themes at its core for some time, and Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt: December Sky offered not only some beautiful footage to work with but also some powerful scenes with which to tell a story. I'm very proud of how this video came out, and I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed making it!
Special thanks to mycathatesyouAMV for introducing me to NF with his amazing video Devoid (youtube.com/watch?v=2934qQEOCCI), leading to my song choice for this video!

[Armored Core 6 Hololive-themed Build Showcase]EnQuatre2024-04-05 | The coral oscillator is super fun to design a build around. Powerful and versatile.
Pulled off some crazy comebacks in this footage. Never give up! This AC in particular can dump a match-ending 6900-7201 points of damage in one combo.
Build is themed after Hololive virtual youtuber Mori Calliope. I’ve copied the PC (Steam) share code below:

Some of my relatives who are super into badminton were actually the first people to put this fun show on my radar. The show was gloriously animated and even more gloriously melodramatic, so it made for some great material to edit a cool little action AMV with some drama notes. Had lots of fun with this one!

Attack on Titan's popularity is partially due to the wild originality of its premise--humans besieged and facing extinction, flying to attack giants with grappling hooks, wires, and dual-wielded swords. The 3D maneuver gear remains one of the coolest signature elements of the franchise. In the end, this video became somewhat of a tribute to that basic idea behind Attack on Titan--defiance in the face of hopelessness, resolution in the face of complete terror, and the awesomeness (and horror) of fighting titans from the air.

Special thanks to TribelAMV, Xophilarus, and Kireblue for beta feedback!Paradise Lost - Shinsekai Yori AMV - Sakuracon 2017 + AWA 2016EnQuatre2016-10-05 | This is a passion project of mine that I've been working on since June. Shinsekai Yori is one of my favorite series, and for my next project I really wanted to edit a story-based drama video that could capture some of the magic and atmosphere of the anime.
Shinsekai Yori's story is rich and complex, and as a result it was quite challenging to tell a story within the limits of an AMV. In the end, I tried to focus on two aspects: the tragedy of repeated loss, and the tragedy of Saki's society--an idyllic, yet fragile and fearful community built in the forgotten ruins of a dying world.
The story is told non-linearly and with my best attempt at some ham-fisted symbolism, and my scene choice certainly confused a lot of my peers when I entered it into Anime Weekend Atlanta's Professional contest this year. I won't deny that my narrative is incoherent in places, but this is my best effort right now!
If you're confused, just remember that the one feeling I wanted to evoke was the pang of loneliness. Shinsekai Yori's world is truly lonely--an epilogue to a melancholy future where human powers developed beyond the human heart's ability to hold back its own inner darkness.
For those of you who haven't seen the show yet--my apologies for the scattered spoilers! That said, there is so much more to this show that I was unable to convey, so I highly recommend you go check it out.

I'd been wanting to edit a darker Psycho Pass drama AMV for some time now, and I thought this track was particularly well suited for the job. There is really a major shortage of good Psycho-Pass AMVs out there!
As always, I tried to keep things largely (major) spoiler-free. Enjoy!
