The Hero You're Dreaming Of (2013 Animethon/Otakon AMV)

Postby Brakus » Sun Aug 11, 2013 7:59 am



Can you feel the bromance tonight?

At Anime Weekend Atlanta 2012, Daniel (DW) Chang's "Glory of Love" AMV to Escaflowne played in the VAT. I commented to another editor, "I am going to do my version of this video with Tiger & Bunny." We tried to stifle our laughter as I came up with certain scenes that I wanted to go with certain lyrics. Deep down, I love Tiger & Bunny, the anime and the eponymous duo, albeit I prefer Kotetsu/Wild Tiger overall. But I really, REALLY wanted to make this video and have it premiere at Otakon's 20th convention in 2013.

Obviously this video is a love letter to Tiger & Bunny, as well as DW's series of romantic/sentimental videos that used '80s/'90s love ballads. There is very little presence of the other heroes - just a glimpse of Fire Emblem, Blue Rose, Pao-Lin, and even Lunatic. I don't make anything outright explicit; the closest I get to acknowledging the fujoshi would be during the bridge of the song when Kotetsu spends the night at Barnaby's apartment. I want the viewer to draw their own conclusion about the twosome. After all, the show's producer has stated that the "bromance" relationship is just as correct as an even deeper, personal relationship.

I always thought that this song works so much better as a duet than a one-sided solo. I picture Barnaby saying one verse, then Kotetsu singing another verse. Something like that.

This video was submitted for consideration to premiere at Otakon 2013. It didn't make the cut for Otakon's contest, but it did make the cut for Animethon's contest, which was on the same weekend as Otakon 2013. It will be making the convention rounds over the rest of the summer/fall. Enjoy!
