XX: More than Eye Candy [Rebirth Interest Gauge?]

Postby CodeZTM » Wed Mar 03, 2010 8:31 pm

Back in 2007, a video project known as "More than Eye Candy", a video celebrating strong female characters was started. You can check out the old thread here: viewtopic.php?f=37&t=80731&start=0

For whatever reason, the project fell apart at the end. And I was going through old project files and realized it had never gotten put together.

So I was wondering about starting it back up. Anyway, I'd be sticking with the rules from the first video.

The Concept: To make an MEP featuring the strong female characters in anime. I’ve often begun an anime and found myself rolling my eyes at the depiction of a female lead – they tend to be cliché, it’s rare to find a strong, well-rounded lead (or secondary) character in an anime.
What do I mean by cliché? Let’s see…
1. The good-natured schoolgirl whom all the male characters can’t seem to help falling head over heels for. (This accounts for like… 75% of the anime in my collection, it’s downright sickening.)
2.The annoyingly adorable little girl whose only purpose seems to be… being cute.
3. The stone cold bitch fighting her inner demons.
4. The quiet, shy girl who hides in the background.
5. The sexy/evil seductress.
Have you seen an anime in which you felt one of the female characters was particularly engaging and well-rounded? Well, here’s your chance to prove to the AMV world that not all anime women are clichés.



Anyway, I'm just gauging interest right now. Would ya'll like to get involved in this?

sorry dude uploaded mine a long time ago:


can still do this if you want but I'm not sure I'd make another track. If you change the idea around and maybe let a few people do girls and a few people do guys to make things a bit more interesting then I might join. Dunno if thats ever been done before.
"The people cannot be [...] always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to [...] the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to public liberty. What country can preserve its liberties, if it's rulers are not warned [...] that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants."-Thomas Jefferson

It's supposed to be far from that. Read again the first post: any girl fitting in one of those points is striked out.
