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

[AMV] Cosmic Love (Anthy)

At first glance Himemiya Anthy is a sweet innocent schoolgirl...at second glance she's an evil manipulative witch.

At third glance she's a little sister besotted by a big brother, a prince, desperately wanting to save him at any cost - even the cost of her self.

Take another look at the complicated motivations of Anthy and her love/hate story that spans the ages and witnesses the evolution of Dios into Akio.

Music: Cosmic Love by Florence & the Machine
Genre: Character Study
Focus: Motivation of Himemiya Anthy (her love for Dios/Akio)

This is gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous.  The emotions that this video evoke are powerful, I like the simplicity you used in editing.
It's really fun to watch you progress.

Beautiful AMV. etc-love

I especially loved this part:

I took the stars from my eyes, and then I made a map
And knew that somehow I could find my way back
Then I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too
So I stayed in the darkness with you


You captured that so perfectly with the scenes you used, especially what followed immediately afterwards. It all gave me goosebumps.

Off to my YouTube favorites you go! emot-biggrin

Love Florence and the Machine and love this video. etc-love

Also, unless there's two Sharnii's I think I was reading some of your fanfics over on ff.net recently. If you got a bunch of gushing reviews a week or two ago from someone called Nina then, hey! It's a small world.

Re: [AMV] Cosmic Love (Anthy)

Aw, thanks guys. emot-biggrin

And hey Honey Bear, thanks for the fanfic reviews! Always great to see that people are still finding and reading my stories/watching my amvs. I always feel a sense of deeper connection when that happens...like we're somehow all recreating Utena together with our creations and reader-interpretations and sharing. poptart

And to answer one of those reviews, cool, I loved making "Daniel" and I'm a big fan of the pairing of Mikage/Mamiya. You may be interested to know I have another completed Mikage/Mamiya/Tokiko amv I just haven't gotten around to uploading yet. It's set to Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" and I'll be uploading it under my new youtube account sharnii2. There's a link in my sig file.

Re: [AMV] Cosmic Love (Anthy)

Have to say, this is by far my favorite Utena AMV, especially since it fits Anthy so well. (Immediately thought of it when I found this avatar; dunno if you inspired/made it or not). Also, love all your fics. Great job, and keep up the awesome work! emot-biggrin

Thanks so much! emot-keke BTW I love that avatar too, nice choice. I'm pretty sure that one was made before my time, and I've seen it somewhere around our avatar masterpost - which means one of the lovely fans here created it. Shout it out, anyone reading this, if you happen to know who.
