This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)

Re: THE Ultimate Good Utena AMV list

WOW I can't believe no one's posted this yet o_O

I found it a LOONG time ago on some anime music video site that also had a bunch of openings/endings.. it was the first Utena video I'd ever seen hehehe

Anyway, I remembered it like a few months back and searched for it on youtube and nothing ;_; but it's on there now!! emot-biggrin

It's the Black Rose Duelist Arc
set to "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" by Tears for Fears

It ROCKS!

Re: THE Ultimate Good Utena AMV list

It's Sting! It's jazzy! It's Saionji/Touga!

For half a decade, it's been one of my favorite AMVs.

Re: THE Ultimate Good Utena AMV list

I saw this and fell in love with it at first sight!

Reason to Love You
Song: Glory Box
Artist: Portishead
Pairing: UtenaxAnthy

Another thing about this AMV is that you can interpret it in two ways.

And, here's another one I've shown Iris a while ago

Naraku no Hana (Flower from Hell)
Song: Naraku no Hana
Artist: Eiko Shimaiya
Pairing: UtenaxAnthy

Kannazuki no Miko
One of the members Marika made this! It should be made known! etc-love

Re: THE Ultimate Good Utena AMV list

A few of them have been mentioned already, but Kestrel's Utena AMVs will always be first in my heart. Partly for nostalgic reasons, but mostly because they're very well put together (except for maybe The Promise, which is nice, but kind of generic). All of her vids are still housed on the old domain sempai.org. I highly, highly recommend everyone who either has not seen these or hasn't seen them in a long time go take a look at all of them. emot-biggrin

All "abouts" are written by Kestrel, taken from the descriptions on sempai.org. All links lead to downloadable ZIP files, which will become RealPlayer files when unzipped.

After the Fall
By: Kestrel
Source: Series
Song: "After the Fall" by October Project
Link: http://www.sempai.org/videos/fall.zip
About: "A serious Nanami video. Not one of the original October Project songs I was considering, but I really like the way it turned out."

Bury My Lovely
By: Kestrel
Source: Series
Song: "Bury My Lovely" by October Project
Link: http://www.sempai.org/videos/bury.zip
About: "This is one of my favorite songs by this group. I have ideas for 2 more October Project/Utena videos, so who knows, maybe someday it will be a trilogy."

Everybody Wants To Rule The World
By: Kestrel
Source: Series
Song: "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" by Tears For Fears
Link: http://www.sempai.org/videos/rule.zip
About: "A Black Rose arc video. Premiered at Project A-Kon 2000 Music Video Showcase. Likely Kanae's first music video appearance (for more than a few seconds anyway. emot-smile"

In God's Country
By: Kestrel
Source: Movie
Song: "In God's Country" by U2
Link: http://www.sempai.org/videos/gods.zip
About: "The Utena Movie, while having very little to do with the plot of the TV series, is really beautiful to watch. I've liked this U2 song for a long time, and one day it just clicked that it would work with a lot of those incredible scenes from the Utena movie."

Never Meant To Be
By: Kestrel
Source: Series
Song: "Never Meant To Be" by Sting
Link: http://www.sempai.org/videos/never.zip
About: "Won 2nd place at ShoujoCon 2000. Don'tcha just love editing?" ^_-

Peace And Love Inc.
By: Kestrel
Source: Series
Song: "Peace and Love Inc." by Information Society
Link: http://www.sempai.org/videos/plinc.zip
About: "My first Utena video, inspired by discussions that there should be a slap counter for this anime. Well, how about a slap video instead, ne?" My own side note: this video is my favourite use of the opening theme animation and various stock animations in an Utena AMV ever. etc-love

The Promise
By: Kestrel
Source: Series
Song: "The Promise" by When In Rome
Link: http://www.sempai.org/videos/promise.zip
About: "Made especially for my boyfriend to capture the true spirit of this anime. While this video is nice and somewhat bland, if you know the context of the scenes, and listen to the lyrics, I hope you cringe. (^_-)"

Re: THE Ultimate Good Utena AMV list

Sorry, double post. I just found a neat AMV today, and I thought I'd share it.

Rush and Goodbye
By: SeymourOmega
Source: Series/Sega Saturn Game
Song: "Goodbye" by SR-71
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pc1PZgMbhxU
About: It's not the greatest technical masterpiece of an AMV, but I think it's a pretty decent action video. Also, you just don't really see any Utena AMVs set to the video game, for the most part, so it's a good novelty to be sure. I especially liked the contrasting of the various Student Council member vs. Student Council member duels, not least because I've never seen any of that footage before.

Shameless Selfpost (yes I'm a whore)

Tra~La~La

I have a couple of others in my youtube list but one is a goofy little Dios one, the other needs to be remade with dvd quality footage. X_x

Scortia's Shameless selfposting aside, I've got to admit that I LOVE this - it's Akio to a T. etc-wankdude Sooo re-watchable!

Also I love everything by IrisBeloved. emot-dance

Double post of doom! But this funny vid deserves it:

Title: My Own True Love
Song: It's only Me - The Barenaked Ladies
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2ulr0SJuBk
About: Touga's true love... is himself. It's along the same lines as that Newgrounds bit where Vegeta realizes just how "sexy" he is...

Re: THE Ultimate Good Utena AMV list

I'm not saying it's good...only that it made me laugh and feel guilty and squeamish all in one strangely fun package.
OMG the things I saw...and heard...the way I'll never watch Disney in the same way again... school-devil

To quote the author Ranmafan477:
Its disturbing! Its offensive! Its Drawn Together and Adolescence of Utena together!!!

Re: THE Ultimate Good Utena AMV list

....the kestrel ones ROCK, even if they are old. October Project is awesome. Also the Zappa remix of Hit Me Baby -- another oldie but goodie. And also the Bjork one, also old.

Man so many of my favorites are up here already, including purplepolecat's Touga one.

Ones I like that haven't been mentioned yet (at least I don't think they have, sorry if they repeat)

I like this one: Anastasia - Left Outside Alone.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BXAyzSAsWc

And this: Snuff -- Slipknot (well partly b/c I love slipknot I have to admit, although leaving Ruka's dialogue in does bug me)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UJssB1I640

I really like videos best when the lyrics match the characters/scenes really well.

I love how he illustrated that Akio's backswing with the knife is the same as Anthy's with the axe.
