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

[AMV] Overflow

My first Utena AMV in a while, and my first one using only the movie.

The song is Florence + The Machine - "What The Water Gave Me"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jlhin2R-9L8

I hope you all like it! Comments welcome.

Wow, that was fantastic! Such incredible flow. -edit- I just realized what a terrible pun that is. But the video was still really good.

Congrats!!! I guess it shouldn't surprise me SKU vids still get awards. Really good ones, sure, but some part of me wonders if modern anime fans would even know about SKU. emot-redface

I know, I know. SKU has stuck around the convention circuit. Fun to cosplay. school-sherlock


Akio, you have nice turns of phrase, but your points aren't clear and you have no textual support. I can't give this a passing grade.

Re: [AMV] Overflow

That was a fan-freaking tastic AMV poptart It has made me ponder how many Florence and the Machine songs fit SKU, makes me wish I was more talented at AMV making

I've always thought they seem to go together quite well for some reason. Makes me think of her song Blinding, which is about breaking away from fairy tale illusions.

...Kind of makes me wish I knew how to make amvs too. emot-tongue Sometimes I think it might be fun to give it a try.

Re: [AMV] Overflow

I really liked this too.  I've never heard Florence and the Machine except by accident.  When I saw the song's title I knew you were going to use Touga, but I liked how you underplayed that scene; you didn't make the whole big sobbing mess out of it that the film did, you showed just enough that the rest was conveyed through innuendo.  And you built up so nicely to the big "overflow" in the rose garden that I actually said "wow" out loud when it happened.  Cheers!  emot-dance
