MEP Collection #15

alolamanalo 2023-12-30 | Last upload for 2023!

This collection ended up being mostly Precure which wasn't planned but it's a fitting way to end Precure's 20th anniversary year lol

Anyway this year has been... awful? Ash Ketchum left Pokemon and cursed the entire year for real. At least it was a good year for Precure though, Skypre and Otonapre were really my therapy for the past couple months c':

So I had to do an amv to celebrate :3c 02 is just as important to me as og Adventure and I'm SO excited to go see the movie tonight. Sorry to my friends who had to put up with me not shutting up about this since it was announced like a year ago asdfghjk

This year has been so insane for Precure, there's been SO MUCH going on and it's all been so good. I got into this series back when Yes!5 was airing and it's wild to see how much this series has grown since then. I'm so proud of my 77 magical girl daughters and one magical boy son c':

Since I did full amvs using every season of both Pokemon and Digimon it was only a matter of time until I did one for Precure, but please never let me do this again. This was So Much.

If Neo TWEWY ever gets an anime maybe I'll do a sequel to this amv with Neo and Adventure 02... but expect a 02 amv from me at some point anyway because the new movie is coming out in a few months and I'm SO excited for it ;o;

Wake Up | Liko & Roy

alolamanalo 2023-05-06 | "It's never really easy but it's okay."

I've come to the conclusion Hilary Duff songs just fit Horizons really well. Also they give me an excuse to use the super pretty moon scenes.

We're 5 episodes in now and... I'm still super invested. Roy and Fuecoco won me over immediately and the scene of Roy motivating Fuecoco by singing to it in the newest ep almost made me cry asdfghj My only criticism so far is Liko winning her first battle offscreen. But ugh I love these two so so much this series is so good so far. idk when/if it's gonna slow down but we're getting Paldea AND NEMONA soon and I'm so excited for that ;o;

What Dreams Are Made Of

alolamanalo 2023-04-14 | Spoilers for Pokemon Horizons

everyone watching me hate on Horizons for months only to get super invested in it after the first episode-

Honestly idk if I'll /stay/ invested in it because I kind of hate the whole Kanto-focused all regions format and the anime-original characters only approach BUT I love Liko and her cat so so much. This girl is so relatable I want nothing but good things for her. Also love the magical girl legendary pendant she has.

And she already jumped off of a roof in the first episode... Ash Ketchum would be so proud of her.

Anyway this episode was so gosh darn pretty I had to edit with it. Praying the series stays as good as these episodes were and praying I end up loving Roy as much as I love Liko. At the very least the ending of this episode made me want to catch the next one live which I didn't think I would do once Ash left so that's something c':

At the Beginning

alolamanalo 2023-03-26 | "At the end I want to be standing at the beginning with you."

I started working on this before MPM started and spent pretty much all of yesterday finishing it. I have mixed feelings on MPM as an end to Ash's story, I wish more happened and Team Rocket deserved so much better, but it was still a really fun ride and it was so nice seeing Ash, Misty, and Brock traveling together again. Also Team Rocket getting most of their old Pokemon back made me cry so much, why did it have to be for only two episodes?

I could rant so much about Team Rocket but moving on to Ash, his ending was good. Pokemon Master being someone who befriends every Pokemon in the world is such a sweet idea c':

Also can we talk about how Tracey finally spoke for the first time since like DP? AG? I'd totally given up hope after he got multiple silent cameos in JN but aaa hearing him talk with Ash again might honestly be my favorite part of the episode. Being the final companion to get a proper return is what Tracey deserves!! (rip May but with her VA situation it's sadly to be expected ;;)

Now onto the video, since MPM was almost solely OS-focused I chose for this amv to also stay OS-focused, but I did end up throwing the other companions in at the end because it felt fitting to celebrate Ash's history outside the first series too. I managed to get through most of this without crying but the part after Ash says goodbye to Brock and Misty broke me c':

Anyway when is Ash coming back??? I miss my son so much and it's only been two days ;o;

A mini MEP collection because Ash deserves it and I also wanted to promote these MEPs I joined since his final ep has just aired. Or at least, it will have when this uploads but I’m typing this before it’s out so I don’t know the outcome yet. Maybe I’ll cry over it here when I update the description to add the full MEP links but I’ll probably wait until I do an amv with it.

I don’t know what else to say that I haven’t already said a hundred times since last December but Ash Ketchum is my favorite fictional character of all time and saying goodbye to him really feels like saying goodbye to a huge part of my life and it hurts so much, but I’m extremely grateful for this series and the friends and memories I’ve made because of it over the past 23 years.

We’re only 5 episodes into Hirogaru Sky but I haven’t been this obsessed with a Precure season since Hugtto… Sora and Mashiro’s friendship has made me cry every episode so far their dynamic is just SO good. I love Sora’s hero ideals I love that she fights so hard despite being so scared and I love that Mashiro is determined to make sure she doesn’t have to fight alone anymore. And Sora finally accepting that they’re a team with a reference to Futari Wa… 🥲

This season is gonna kill me also Sora and Mashiro are girlfriends I don’t make the rules

HAPPY 20TH ANNIVERSARY PRECURE AAAAA

Editing with the first ep of the new series has become tradition for me but since this is a big anniversary season and it has a bunch of references to Futari Wa in it anyway... I decided to use both :3c and a single scene from the Hugtto crossover because it just fit the "we've got a whole damn army" line too perfectly, but rip that scene was the only good thumbnail youtube gave me even though it's not the focus of the amv. Oh well asdfghjk

ANYWAY SKYPRE HAD SUCH A GOOD START... the opening is gorgeous, I've replayed it a dozen times and the Futari Wa reference in it made me cry the first time. The first episode itself was so so good I'm already in love with Sora and Mashiro's dynamic and the animation had me in awe, Skypre might end up becoming one of my favorite seasons ;;

I'd like to do a bigger amv for Precure's anniversary before the year is over so I will save me being sappy over how much this series means to me for that lol

Spoilers for Mezase Pokemon Master episode 2

I don't have the words to describe how perfect this episode was. Ash has grown into such a different person over the years but the second he's alone with Misty she brings out his inner bratty competitive side from OS and god I love them SO MUCH. And Ash's win against Leon inspiring Misty to go on another journey? I'm gonna cry...

Also I'll never be over the ending of this episode paralleling OS episode 3 with Misty following Ash in the forest and Ash trying to leave her behind but Pikachu won't do it. I was laughing so much throughout the entire episode but that scene got me c':

Anyway my goal of editing with every companion return in JN was intended to end with JN but we're getting Cilan back next week so... we'll see.

alolamanalo 2023-01-09 | "I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you."

I had the idea for this amv like a year ago and was thinking of doing it after JN ended as a celebration of the anime's 25th anniversary. There were lots of theories and rumors since JN first started that it would be Ash's last series, but despite part of me being scared I didn't /actually/ think this would turn into a goodbye tribute for my son. 😭 In a way maybe it's a good thing it did because I don't think I would have finished this if it wasn't, but Ash and his friends deserve a big sendoff amv c':

We've had the news for a couple of weeks now and I've gone through every stage of grief multiple times but it still hasn't /truly/ sunk in that Ash is going to be gone in a couple months. I don't think it'll fully sink in until that final episode airs and I don't know what I'll do with myself after that. This dumb 10 year old and his electric mouse have been with me my whole life...

I saw Pokemon 2000 in theaters when I was 5 and became obsessed with the anime so quickly after that. I'd sneak out of my room and hide where my mom couldn't see me to watch episodes of OS that aired on Cartoon Network after my bedtime, I remember watching the special preview that aired the first two episodes of DP and being so excited but so sad I had to wait a couple months for more episodes in english. DP's finale was the first time I watched an episode in Japanese, then with the final season of BW I fully switched to watching it subbed, and starting with the first ep of XY I kept up with the subbed eps weekly. SM made me get more involved with the pokeani fandom because I missed having people to talk to who still watched it, and a little before the Alola League I started watching the episodes live as they aired in Japan and never turned back. I will never forget getting to experience Ash's Alola League and World Championship wins together with the fandom, or that time the JN opening updated to have the Alola companions in it and everyone on twitter lost their minds. I'm so grateful to this series for being such a huge part of my life for over 20 years, and for all the incredible friends I've made because of it.

Thank you, Ash and Pikachu. Thank you, Team Rocket. Thank you, Misty, Brock, and every other companion who's been there through Ash's journey. 💖

Lost Boy | Gou

alolamanalo 2022-12-16 | I'm beyond devastated about the Ash news but he's not going anywhere for a few more episodes so I'm going to try to focus on Gou for now

I edited most of this amv back when Sobble's evolution ep aired but just never got around to finishing it, and then the other day I found it again and told myself I'd finish it after the JN finale aired. I almost couldn't do it because I've been crying too much over Ash, but I powered through for my other son.

If you know me you know how big my Alola bias is, like the Alola kids have my WHOLE heart and when SM ended I didn't think anyone would ever be able to top them... but Gou became my favorite of Ash's companions so /quickly/. Their dynamic together is so incredibly fun and Gou by himself is easily one of, if not THE best written character in pokeani. He just feels so... real. There's so much relatable about him and his character growth was SO good. It broke my heart seeing him get so much hate and for the stupidest things when he so clearly cares deeply for all his Pokemon.

I literally grew up with Ash and I'm going through all the stages of grief three times over because we're losing him, but I'm going to miss Gou so much as well. Praying he gets a return in one of Ash's final eps because I refuse to accept that we've seen the last of these two together. The future lies in their hands, after all 😭

I haven't emotionally recovered from this episode and I don't think I ever will. The scene of all Ash's old pokemon cheering Pikachu on had me SOBBING and then they dared to immediately play Mezase Pokemon Master????

It's crazy to think this silly monster catching anime I got into when I was 5 remained such a constant in my life, like I remember 6 year old me being so excited for the Kanto League and being crushed when Ash lost and now 20+ years later my son, my favorite fictional character of all time, is the world champion.

Its your time to fly | pokegirls

alolamanalo 2022-10-19 | "Spread your wings across the universe."

It's been 3000 years since I edited a pokegirls amv but JN really got me back into editing with older seasons/companions more often and I got hit with inspiration so... sometimes you just gotta ignore the 3 mep parts you have due this week and spend two days editing pokegirls. c':

Also I don't see as many pokegirl amvs that include all of them anymore so like, I have to fix that. Just ignore that I left out Bonnie, I forgot about her until I was editing the Alola part oops. She's there in spirit?

Also I wanted to transition each part using scenes of the girls interacting but Serena never met Iris or the Alola kids rip. We were so robbed ;o;

I was worried I wouldn't have enough scenes to work with for this but it worked out. Also these two are really fun to edit with, I need to do it more often lol.

Also I saw your post about wanting song suggestions for your Uzuki/Kariya playlist and I really wanted to send you this song but I wanted this amv to be a surprise asdfghjk

Anyway ily and I hope you have an amazing day and year 💖

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMIII

I was struggling to come up with ideas for your present and then I was like wait... I should edit Spy x Family... and then I was listening to this song again and thought it'd be funny to use the proposal scene with it but the whole thing ended up working pretty well

Maybe someday I'll extend this and use the full song but I wasn't sure if I'd have enough scenes to work with with just S1 and also I didn't have time because my brain is incapable of realizing how close your Birthday is when we're still in August asdfghjk

BUT I HOPE YOU LIKE THIS AND I HOPE YOU HAVE THE BEST BIRTHDAY EVER ILY EMI 💖

My Wish | Lillie & Mohn

alolamanalo 2022-05-21 | “My wish for you is that this life becomes all that you want it to.”

MAN… MAN. I don’t know what to say? Sun & Moon is by far my favorite pokemon series and I’ve waited three years to see the Mohn plot line get closure. It feels so surreal that it’s finally happened, like SM is finally over for real now and aaa what a PERFECT way to end it…

I had to pause the ep multiple times because I couldn’t read the subtitles through my tears and I haven’t had that happen since SM’s finale asdfhjk

The Aether family!!! Is finally together and happy again!!! I was confident they’d get their happy ending but this episode still broke me (I knew Mohn likely wouldn’t remember anything but somehow him remembering Lillie’s name only made it hurt ten times worse-)

ALSO THE NIHILEGO??? I’m so emotional over it… Lillie and Gladion both had so much trauma and family problems because of a Nihilego so them welcoming one into their family was such an amazing way to make both their character arcs come full circle and I just!!! Also the “Lillie is secretly a Nihilego” fan theories from before SM released were my favorite so when Mohn introduced them to it and it looked just like Lillie I gasped so loudly asdfgjk

There’s so much more I could say about this episode it was just SO GOOD…

AND NEXT WEEK WE’RE GETTING ANOTHER ALOLA EP… WE’RE TRULY BLESSED.

Anyway all my other companion return amvs have been like a minute long tops but I got carried away with this one… it’s okay Lillie deserves it. I wanted to focus mainly on her and Mohn for this but someday I’ll do an amv more dedicated to the whole Aether family because I have shed way too many tears over the four of them c’:

I wasn't going to edit with Greninja's return but then I got hit with inspiration at like 2am so how could I not give in to that? I don't... know if I like how this one came out lmao but whatever it was fun.

Anyway April was wild with all the Kalos returns and this episode was a really nice way to close it out (both with Greninja and the small Alan flashback asdfghjk)

Now please let May be Alola's month... or maybe not, I could use a break from editing Journeys returns for a bit c':

alolamanalo 2022-04-13 | HAPPY BIRTHDAY MORTYYYYY

When I saw you mention your Birthday was coming up I was thinking of editing a Nekushiki thing for you but the idea I had was angsty and then I was listening to this song again and went "wait no I need to edit this with TWEWY immediately" and I know you also like Digimon so I thought you might appreciate this song asdfghjk

You're always so nice and fun to talk to and write with, I hope this day and year are the best ever for you because it's what you deserve 💖

When I said I'd do edits for every returning companion in Journeys I didn't expect Pokemon to shadow drop the biggest companion return during the week I'm swamped with MEP parts 😭

Luckily the Serena poster leaked ahead of time so I had time to prepare asdfghjk

ANYWAY, THIS EPISODE!?
I think it's my favorite companion return so far even though Serena is my least favorite companion? This episode actually made me... like her a whole lot more asdfghj I mean I always liked her when her character wasn't focused around Ash so this ep being solely about how much she's grown by herself and how she helps Koharu in finding a path for herself? It's SO GOOD... She relates herself to Koharu and gives Koharu the same advice Ash gave to her during XY and I just...

AND THE SERENA AND ASH REUNION SCENE MADE ME CRY??? I was so worried it'd be awkward but it was just incredibly sweet and aaaa ;o;

I hope she returns again... this episode was everything to me

Electric⚡️ | Clemont & Bonnie

alolamanalo 2022-04-01 | There is so much happening today but okay

FIRST OF ALL CLEMONT AND BONNIE'S RETURN
It was during XY that I started interacting more with the pokeani fandom and also started keeping up with the anime as it aired in Japan, so even though I have a lot of issues with this series it has a very special place in my heart and for some reason seeing these characters return feels so surreal? More so than other character returns lol. It was after their return was confirmed that I also reconnected with a friend I hadn't seen since the XY days so it's... double surreal? I truly feel like I'm in 2015 again lmao.

These episodes were so nice too... just hearing "Citronic gear on!" and "S'il vous plait" again made me happy but also the way they went to the stadium to cheer for Ash during his battle with Drasna ;o; And Clemont's interactions with Gou... my heart.

Anyway I started this edit on my phone while recovering from getting my wisdom teeth out and then finished it up today after the new eps dropped so it's not fancy or anything but I still kind of like how it came out?

ANYWAY, SECOND OF ALL AND MOST IMPORTANTLY
HAPPY 25TH ANNIVERSARY TO THE POKEMON ANIME AAAAAAAAAAA
I could go on forever about how much this series means to me... it's remained the one constant in my life and all the characters are so important to me. I wanted to do a special amv for the anniversary but I didn't have time so I think I'll save it for when Journeys ends? Especially if this is truly the final season... and we just got confirmation it's for sure ending in November ;;

This is getting long and idk how to end it now asdfgjk bye go watch Pokemon :D

alolamanalo 2022-01-28 | -Spoilers for the Pokemon Legends Arceus special episodes-

“I’m the original ✨”

I really thought Brock would return alongside Misty for pokeani’s 25th anniversary (and he probably still will?) but I was so pleasantly surprised they brought him back for Legends promo alongside Dawn… seeing the DP trio together again made me really happy 🥺

ALSO I’M OBSESSED WITH THE FACT BROCK JUST CASUALLY HAS A FLYING ROCKET CAR NOW??? HE USES IT FOR HOUSE CALLS TO TREAT POKEMON I’M CRYING HE’S A REAL DOCTOR NOW…

ALSO HIS CHANSEY EVOLVED AND HE TOOK ON THE THREE TEAM GALACTIC COMMANDERS BY HIMSELF I’M!!! SO PROUD OF MY BOY!!!

Gou being so excited to meet him after Ash told him about him was so cute too… he called him “Takeshi-san” 🥺

Thank you Journeys for making me cry over yet another character return they’re always so good

Also this edit is VERY raw and I did it VERY quickly because I wanted it done before Legends Arceus came out lmao

ALSO ALSO… can you tell from the beginning of this AMV that I’ve been rewatching AG lately?

There was a lot more I wanted to do with this but I DIDN'T HAVE TIME... I overestimated how much I could do in 20 mins despite doing one of these challenges before lmao. I'm definitely gonna turn this into a full amv sometime very soon because the more I listen to this song the more I'm like "yes this is Joshneku"
