Crystalwren I know exactly what amv you’re talking about (starts with Anthy and Ruka’s sword draw and ends with Anthy’s scene from episode 30), this is probably one of my favourite amv’s and after an extremely thorough search I can’t find it. I know it was on youtube but seems to have been taken down, but even going though animemusicvideos.org files, our own amv archive and a google search I still can’t find it. The only way this survived is if somebody saved it like you did. Now I miss it.

Okay, so I'm not completely worn down. I'll admit I'm still clambering through yootoob, but with less emphasis on booming voiceThe Lost AMVecho echo echo and more to see what's out there. And I've come across this particular gem:

I never considered Silent Hill as a match for Utena before, but when you think of it...maybe not quite of a stretch as it'd seem at first.

Ladies, gentlemen and unaffiliated:

After tens of hours spent on youtube, and literally days and days of running two separate data retrieval programmes on a very shaky, reformatted and old laptop, and an extremely shaky, reformatted and downright dinosaur hard drive ripped out of an old desktop, I am pleased to announce:

I HAVE FOUND THE MISSING BASTARD AMV.

And didn't it take a hell of a lot of work to do so. I'm amazed that my laptop survived the whole process without overheating and melting.
Here we go:

I'm unsure of how long this file will be available, so hopefully some kind soul with a file sharing account will come up with a better link. Also, I should probably mention that I could only view the file with Windows Media Player Classic; all other media programmes just played the audio.

Is it how I remembered it? Not quite. Was it worth all this effort? Probably not, but at least it's not going to sit in the back of my head and nag at me for the next twelve months.

So: do you think it's as good as all that?



P.S The next time you accidentally lose data, I strongly recommend either Easeus or Recuva. Easeus is excellent but limits you to recovering only one gig of data before you must buy the entire software package. Recuva, on the other hand, is entirely free.

I downloaded it a while ago from you, when my little laptop was still working.  (Geez, I go through them like crazy.)  Anyway, a while ago, the link was working.  I was just too amused you actually found the darn thing that I forgot to comment (and yeah, it is pretty good.)  Congratulations on your triumph!
