In the Rose Garden / THE Ultimate Good Utena AMV list

Anthiena · Back to Top

Well, I figured this would be the perfect place to post the AMVs we love about the Anime we love so...

Note: The links are YouTube, but the first two are also on AMV.org
Roseate Nocturne
By: tenjou
Source: Series
Song: Bring me to Life-Evanescence
Link:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6Iiw4GfY_w
About: Although the song is played out, it's rather darkly sweet and extremely well done.

Deluge
By: himemiya
Source: Movie/Series
Song: Going Under-EvaAnescence
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjbXZEC2lU
About: The companion-piece to the one above, it is one of the few where the movie and Anime meld extremely well together in spite of the differences. Her Anthy Shrine might be static now, but himemiya.net lives on...

Silent Utena
Source: Movie/Series
Song: Room of Angels (From Silent Hill 4)
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKCkqXsLp4Y
About: The creator said she wanted to see Utena through Anthy's eyes: A prince, or another Princess? The vid is rather long and full of visual glitches and left in subtitles, but the glitches and subtitles look like they belong there and makes it creepier.

Merciless
by: Anthiena (yours truely)
Song: No Quarter - Led Zepplin
Link: http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members … p?v=132382

Utena Girl Revolution Anthy - 少女革命アンシー輪舞-Revolution
Source: Series
Song: Rinbu
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2s1QBLbNyQ
About: Although this AMV and the author's other AMVs appear to be revisions of things, this is very much worth watching. She got the idea from an Ikuni blog entry she says.

Gravity of Love
Source: Movie
Song: Gravity of Love-Enigma
Link: http://www.yuricon.org/videos/ (Scroll dooooown)
About: This is one of the prettiest, best synced AMVs I have ever seen.

Oh, cool. Actually, I don't watch AMVs most of the time. But, there are a couple of SKU vids that I really like, and the first two that came to mind when I saw this thread were these:

"Betray"
by: KiruBanzai
source: series
song: Virginia, Tori Amos
link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNMJazdRpNY
about: an Anthy-centric AMV; saying anymore would ruin the video. Chillingly good, and kind of reaffirms my opinion that Tori Amos's music suits the series to a T.

"Hit Me Baby One More Time"
by: Nightowl Pictures
song: Hit Me Baby One More Time, Dweezil and Ahmet Zappa
link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HaFhUvL_C1s
about: an interesting reinterpretation of the song. emot-tongue

Aside from that, there were two other Utena AMVs that I remember pretty distinctly -- one was a vid on Utena, Juri, and Mikage set to October Project's Bury My Lovely, and another one was a tongue-in-cheek vid about Touga and Saionji that used Sting. They were both by the same person (Kestral, I think?), but I can't find them online anymore.

Duelist Megu · Back to Top

Anyone who ships Utena and Anthy (which is probably most of the forum) needs to see keskin_snape's "Reason to Love You" videos up on the Org, to Portishead's "Glory Box". Multiple thumbs up.

Also, I'd recommend ApocalypseInc's ode to Akio and his car. It's dark and sexy as hell. I actually know the person who did this, too, back in 03. She's got WAAAY too much time on her hands, and did a fabulous job.

http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members … _id=144076Shameless Touga vid 1
http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members … _id=141463Shameless Touga vid 2
WUNETTI's four part Utena "AMV Symphony" to 3 VAST songs and Trans-Siberian Orchestra's "Carol of the Bells" is also a must. I think he may be on the same drugs as Ikuhara, and I totally mean that as a compliment. When you give your AMV segments titles in Latin, that's about as serious-business as it gets. As an aside, the guy also writes some quality fanfic as MusedMoose on ff.net.

I could add more, but I'd have to sift through my archives (I have a grocery bag full of burned CDs, not DVDs, of AMVs, and a big spreadsheet of what's where). I think these are the best, though. Maybe I'll add more when this thread gets a little lower.

Edit: How the heck to I get a link that's not written out to work? Like, make parts of my sentences link to things? It don't seem to like my HTML over much.

The Touga/Saionji one was Never Meant To Be. I probably have it somewhere on disk, I'm just not sure where... ^___^ I can have a look and upload it, if you'd like a copy.

My personal favourites are two done to songs by ES Posthumus; this one is movie based and pretty good (I etc-love the song) but my favourite one isn't on there. Damn. [sulks]

I have found THE MOST fitting song for Utena ever.

Popular from the Wicked musical.

I couldn't stop laughing the whole way through! emot-rofl

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

This is an -amazing- mix of Rinbu Revolution. It's extremely short, but the timing of this person is astounding.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=GsAOpsM8hBQ
By: yamadaYT
Source: Series
Song: Rinbu Revolution Remix
About: Utena and Anthy mainly

This is one of those rarer AMV's about Dios and Anthy
http://youtube.com/watch?v=rHhjPY5xe10
By: JeanGenie
Source: Series
Song: Ghost of a Rose (I believe)
About: Dios and Anthy

Though this AMV isn't particularly organized, the lyrics really go well with Utena and the song is wonderful.

Song by Era (After Time)
About: Utena and Anthy

My favorite Utena AMV of all time is called to Hell and Back, but it was unfortunately removed from youtube and I haven't been able to find it since.

If you're curious where the mix is from, you can find it on the Para Para MAX cd. I believe Rinbu Revolution is on volume 1. I'd give you a download link if I could find them, but there's American releases of the cds so you can probably find it online easily enough if you should want it.

Thank you very much for the info. There's a site called Rose and Release that has all the OSTs, but I intend to buy all the CDs I can find at some point anyway.

This is an awesome one for everyone's favorite psycho genius (and I don't mean me emot-tongue ). There seriously needs to be more Souji Mikage dedications. There just aren't very many. And this is one of the only really amazing ones I found. It's perfect. And the editing is AMAZING.

Here's a good one centered around Mikage. It's a gem that I downloaded a long time ago and rediscovered it in my AMV folder on my computer:
http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members … hp?v=18905
Song: World Leader Pretend
Artist: REM

I believe the others that I love have already been said. But I really do recommend Roseate Nocturne, Deluge, Hell and Back, and Sex, Lies, and Roses. All are wonderfully done. I watch all of them pretty often.
