Overlooked Anime's for Videos

Illia Sadri · Post by **Illia Sadri** » Thu Jun 05, 2003 7:11 pm

Oh I want to one day do one using Key the Metal Idol and Boogiepop Phantom because few use that series. Other series I would liek to do is a Lain/Niea/Haibane combo focusing more on the later two.

Also my next one is going to be a Strawberry Eggs/Fruits Basket combo. Neither has too many videos to it although I bet Fruits Basket will start getting plenty more now all the dvd's are out.

Actually right now I am doing a lip synch video to Gatekeepers.

So yeah, I like to use less commonly done anime in general. I want to avoid Linkinball Z and I am going to avoid Trigun and Hellsing and Bebop vides because it has all been done.

Wanted to make a Strawberry Eggs AMV - don't have it.
Have an idea for a partly Saiyuki AMV - don't have it, the series is fucking enormous, and it'll be a month of Sundays before I can afford it all.

At any rate, thing is, people make AMVs with what they have. Personally, I am stuck making vids with the same series or two for another year simply because I can't fricking afford to buy the entire run of DVDs for six or seven series. I have rent to pay and my job sucks. Not whining; just explaining. If I could buy up a ton of obscure DVDs and make videos for them, TRUST ME, I would. (I wish I could make vids for Rose of Versailles or Oniisama-E, for one. I've wanted to see both since I heard of them through fandubs and whatnot.)

Anyway, the second part to that is that most people start with what they first see, or the obvious stuff, and work their way up to / into the more obscure stuff. It's a rare fan who has a copy of ObscureAnimeX on DVD, but nothing like Eva or CB or Tenchi. It's just the usual path of things.

So, that's why I think many people have AMVs for common series. It's kind of like an exponential curve, with a few people having nice big ranges of source, and most people having the same dozen titles.

Of course I could be completely talking out of my ass. Your mileage may vary. 8)

Guess that makes me the rare fan then..the only popular anime I have is Trigun..everything else is stuff no ones heard of or doesn't use much...only because I'm able to find those kind of DVD's at the video rental store here..(they only have EVA eps 1-8 or so on VHS

) or in the bargin bin at Sam Goody for like $10 or less a DVD...And I'm starting to think I'm the only person in this town that's willing to admit they watch anime

O_o at the bargain bin part ...reeeeally. *kicks local Sam Goody for not selling anime at all*

Well, it's not a bad thing, of course. I was just attempting to find a reason why AMVs use what they use.

Yup yup yup ^^ Got Miyuki-chan in Wonderland for like 6 something I think..

And bargins are NEVER a bad thing.. 8)

One thing thta has worked well for me in the past is to explore different video stores in your area for Anime DVD's. We have a video store downtown where I live that has 100's of Anime DVD's of all kinds. Including non-mainstream anime. [Anything airing on US TV] This way you don't have to spend money on DVD's you can just rent and copy them for your source. Look around and I'm sure you can find them somewhere. You can also look online, I have come across great deals for new Anime DVD's on auction sites, and smaller retail sites.

e-bay, obsure and unheard anime dvds sold cheap.

also as videos go, i don't think i've seen to many of scryed, wild arms, battle angel and Beserk

and when i say videos, i'd prefer to see good ones rather than some just slapped together.

Tokyopop recalled the DVD within about 3 months of the original release and did a mail-in. Unfortunately the disc wasn't a great seller and your local suncoast or favorite online retailer may still have the old version in stock. What you want to do is either 1)look for the version in a standard keepcase and not the fancy release or 2)order from a specialty store (I got mine from animenation, but TRSI should also be good) and they should send you the new version attached to any copies of the old version they may have.

I got mine for $8 from a Wiz going out of buisness.

As for unused anime, Idol Defense Force Hummingbird! Come on people! Am I the first person to use this footage since Odorikuuru was made?! So what if it's 10 years old, it's the perfect anime to fill in those dead spots in your dance videos (AKA: My entire DDR3 video =P)
