20:33 <quadir> thanks for showing up peeps, tonight's video was actually a submission from 2 weeks ago
20:33 <quadir> it might not be everyone's cup of tea but we like to do a few interesting videos inbetween all the sentimental vids, so come back next week for that (j/k)
20:33 <quadir> Video: (Lirinis) - 2007 - Flee from the Toll
20:33 <quadir> Category: Horror
20:33 <quadir> Anime: Requiem From the Darkness [Spoilers]
20:33 <quadir> Song: Theatre of Tragedy - Motion
20:43 <NerdStrudel> I'm not a big horror AMV guy.. I don't know how my Oping will go..
20:43 <NerdStrudel> but we'll see
20:43 <quadir> neither am I, but here I go :)
20:45 <godix> too bad orwell isn't around. I think he'd be interested in this.
20:48 <Hunter> opped, now may I ask wtf I just watched?
20:48 <Minion> godix's mother in law
20:48 <Hunter> that explains it
20:49 <NerdStrudel> Oped
20:49 <NerdStrudel> indeed
20:49 <NerdStrudel> wtf was that
20:49 <NerdStrudel> o man boring -_-
20:50 <quadir> op is in
20:51 <Hunter> it was the 'boring' wtf, so much as a 'first reaction to skittles' wtf
20:52 <godix> I like how there was a cameo by Piccolo.
20:52 <NerdStrudel> ?
20:52 <godix> at the 1 minute mark. Tell me that isn't Piccolo.
20:53 <NerdStrudel> looks more like garlic Jr if any of 'em
20:53 <Minion> heh
20:53 <Minion> leave it to strudel to debate which green dbz character it looks like
20:54 <Hunter> looks like a mix of piccolo and lawrance of arabia
20:54 <NerdStrudel> well.. Piccolo is taller.. and more green
20:54 <NerdStrudel> where as garlic jr is.. a lighter weird WTF green
20:54 <NerdStrudel> and short like that
20:54 <NerdStrudel> -_-
20:54 <NerdStrudel> besides.. it didn't have antennae
20:54 <Hunter> how can you tell height from a headshot?
20:55 <NerdStrudel> it looked short
20:55 <Hunter> :/
20:55 <Minion> stfu :/
20:55 <NerdStrudel> Did I have t oactually see the anime to get why this was supposed to make me shit my pants with fear?
20:56 <Hunter> i've seen pictures of cosplayers scarier than this
20:56 <NerdStrudel> Manfaye ftw?
20:56 <godix> I wouldn't say it's scary so much as it has an overall dark tone to it.
20:56 <NerdStrudel> yah
20:56 <quadir> hence, horror
20:57 <NerdStrudel> Moree ominous then scary
20:58 <quadir> Mitternacht didn't make me crap my pants either
20:58 <quadir> don't read too much into a category
20:59 <NerdStrudel> how do i view your guys's ops?
20:59 <quadir> especially since most these days just check em all
20:59 <quadir> NerdStrudel: just ask us in here
20:59 <godix> It's very VERY hard for an AMV to be scary. It's too abstracted from reality to really do it.
20:59 <NerdStrudel> yah
20:59 <NerdStrudel> my thoughts exactly
20:59 <Hunter> they don't check them all, they check action for naruto or dbz, suspense for eva, and horror for bleach
21:00 <NerdStrudel> lol
21:00 <Minion> alright, i need to get it out of my system now, cause someone with a vag called and wants to hang out. it was well edited. though i only watched once, i couldn't find anything technically to nit pick on. as far as entertainment goes, it just wasn't my cup of tea. not the sort of video i feel compelled to bad mouth though. i am a fan of the experimental genre. though i do wonder if anything...
21:00 <Minion> ...from this source can NOT look experimental (i say this on a blind guess, having never seen this anime). in closing, i probably won't watch it again, but props for the production value
21:00 <Minion> just paste that where appropriate :|
21:00 <Minion> sry
21:02 <NerdStrudel> the vag is more important
21:02 <quadir> Hunter: http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members ... p?v=141895
21:02 <NerdStrudel> go forth
21:02 <quadir> Hunter: or almost any other by that editor
21:02 <Hunter> ok thats one
21:02 <Hunter> how the hell that 5 get there...
21:03 -!- Minion has quit
21:03 <teya> *wave*
21:03 <quadir> Minion: I was wondering if the mask was in the anime too
21:03 <teya> so.. is it just me, or is beating visually kinda boring?
21:03 <quadir> I think it beats white flashes
21:03 <godix> It's one of the weak parts of the video. But I've seen worse.
21:04 <Hunter> thats the only place i notice the beats
21:04 <G_Q> Iop'd
21:04 <teya> quadir: true that
21:04 <Hunter> I thought the effects kinda watered the video down
21:04 <G_Q> teya: You hit the mark on that, I think.
21:04 <NerdStrudel> I liked the pulsing effect
21:04 <NerdStrudel> i thought that fit
21:05 <G_Q> I watched it only twice, and just couldn't really stand to watch it again.
21:05 <NerdStrudel> I watched it once
21:05 <G_Q> Visually, it's nice.
21:05 <teya> NerdStrudel: it can work, but i think that through the _whole_ vid is a bit excessive
21:05 <quadir> godix: I don't think I've ever said something I knew I'd have to edit later on
21:05 <quadir> godix: before now
21:05 <godix> ?
21:05 <G_Q> But it just gets so boring right in the middle and end. :\
21:05 <teya> and it's not as impressive as linking action in the anime to beats
21:05 <quadir> godix: see link I posted
21:05 <NerdStrudel> indeed
21:05 <G_Q> I found myself wondering why I was watching it.
21:05 <NerdStrudel> very very lazy
21:05 <NerdStrudel> or
21:05 <NerdStrudel> boring i mean
21:05 <godix> oh. DCG. leave it in. If he notices it'll make some amusing drama.
21:06 <quadir> godix: true
21:06 <NerdStrudel> What happened with DCG?
21:06 <NerdStrudel> hissy fit?
21:06 <NerdStrudel> wha?
21:06 <quadir> G_Q: hm, you were?
21:06 <quadir> G_Q: I dunno I can stand slow videos to a fairly high tolerance
21:06 <godix> Is there a time when DCG isn't throwing a hissy fit
21:06 <quadir> especially if they look all artsy and shit
21:06 <Hunter> G_Q: yeah, right around the 2 minute mark it got boring
21:07 <NerdStrudel> I didn't really
21:07 <NerdStrudel> feel the video is all
21:07 <quadir> I was trying to follow a story and I think I found one, but I'm confused about the boy dying twice
21:07 <Hunter> now that you mention it...
21:07 <quadir> but it seemed to me like he kills the boy being the psycho he is
21:07 <NerdStrudel> i was t obored to find a story
21:08 <quadir> then he starts having nightmares and halucinations, like the blood pouring throug the ceiling
21:08 <quadir> of the boy he killed
21:08 <quadir> it was pretty clear to me on first viewing
21:08 <NerdStrudel> I sorta stopped paying full attention after about a minute and a half or so
21:08 <quadir> it's that scene from Hamlet or whatever
21:08 <quadir> is what I said in my op
21:08 <quadir> where she has blood on her hand and it just won't wash off
21:08 <quadir> but she's just immagining it
21:08 <G_Q> quadir, that was MacBeth
21:09 <quadir> errr
21:09 <quadir> yeah
21:09 <quadir> what g_q said
21:09 <NerdStrudel> lol
21:09 <quadir> lady macbeth
21:09 <NerdStrudel> looks liek we all agree it's re-viewablility isn't good
21:09 <quadir> but this storyline really felt like that
21:09 <NerdStrudel> i put a 4 for that as well
21:10 <quadir> yeah? audio was pretty unobstructive, and I keep noticing new things in the video on re-watching
21:10 <Hunter> i see the story you're talking about, but to me it seemed to die around 3:15
21:10 <NerdStrudel> This jus treally wasn't my cup of tea
21:10 <NerdStrudel> so I won't re-watch it prolly
21:10 <NerdStrudel> but it was also rather good visually
21:10 <NerdStrudel> we all seemed t oagree on that as well
21:10 <NerdStrudel> originallity was a meg
21:10 <NerdStrudel> meh*
21:11 <quadir> it's not mine either, but as a genre example I thought it was really refreshing to see a horror video that wasn't hellsing/blood/vampireD
21:11 <NerdStrudel> I didn't know what to put there... cause I don't watch horror amvs
21:11 <NerdStrudel> lol
21:11 <NerdStrudel> yah
21:11 <Hunter> quadir: amen
21:11 <quadir> in this one the horror is human, you have a man who's going insane at having murdered this little boy
21:12 <G_Q> Still, it didn't feel like a horror film.
21:12 <quadir> it's something you could almost relate to
21:12 <G_Q> *horror video
21:12 <quadir> or at least identify with
21:12 <Hunter> it was more realistic than most horror videos you see, actually was down to earth
21:12 -!- orwell|haetpremiere has joined #amv-review
21:12 <NerdStrudel> is there really that deep a story?
21:12 <quadir> he's psycho, but the part at 2:30 I really thought he maybe had spared him
21:12 <NerdStrudel> i guess I didn't pay attetion AT ALL
21:12 <NerdStrudel> like at all in the vid
21:12 <NerdStrudel> I didn't know he killed the boy
21:12 <NerdStrudel> but I see it now
21:13 <Hunter> at 2:30 i thought it had hit the boy and fallen to the ground
21:13 <Hunter> shows my observation skills
21:13 <NerdStrudel> what are all the other scenes with the little boy around people?
21:13 <quadir> and the bell that keeps on ringing I think ties into 3:30
21:13 <NerdStrudel> is that like inside the due's mind
21:13 <Hunter> Nerd: at about 1:30 it becomes a nightmare
21:13 <quadir> 'your time has come' its very 'the maker is coming to take you' type of thing
21:14 <NerdStrudel> i see
21:14 <godix> Ok, back.
21:14 <NerdStrudel> so he kills the boy, but goes crazy because he did?
21:14 <godix> I probably missed shit and am just repeating someone but I liked how the story came through. Murderer is tormented by what he's done and keeps reliving it.
21:14 <NerdStrudel> So why did he do it in the first place
21:14 <Hunter> seems that way to me
21:14 <quadir> and then he eventually dies from something related to the boy
21:14 <NerdStrudel> oh
21:15 <orwell> downloaded, watching now
21:15 <quadir> godix: reliving... that's a good word, cause I couldn't explain why the boy dies twice, but that makes sense now
21:15 <godix> I think the second time is his imagination.
21:15 -!- orwell|haetpremiere is now known as orwell
21:15 <quadir> yeah
21:15 <quadir> I got the halucinations of the boy already dead
21:15 <NerdStrudel> yah
21:15 <NerdStrudel> he's just.. imagining it again
21:15 <Hunter> but something I didn't get... what's with the 3 people at 3:17?
21:15 <quadir> but a whole sequence of him killing him again
21:15 <quadir> I thought it made more sense almost with him sparing the boy the 2nd time
21:16 <NerdStrudel> i think the 3 people were like.. messangers of death
21:16 <quadir> but it fits with a halucination that he dies
21:16 <orwell> sweet! Requiem from the darkness amv
21:16 <godix> I suspect this is the type of video to really 'get' you have to know the source.
21:16 <quadir> NerdStrudel: they could just be villagers, people who knew the boy, find the murderer's body at the end
21:16 <godix> orwell: Told ya.
21:16 <quadir> it doesn't really matter IMO
21:16 <quadir> since it's all about the boy haunting him
21:16 <NerdStrudel> Quadir: I suppose
21:16 <quadir> not other people
21:16 <NerdStrudel> what did he die of? Lightning strike?
21:16 -!- G_Q has quit
21:16 <quadir> he's not being chased by villagers or death
21:17 <quadir> he's chased by the boy
21:17 <godix> That's where i think we'd need to see the source to see how why he dies.
21:17 <NerdStrudel> well it showed lightning strike
21:17 <NerdStrudel> then him dead
21:17 <NerdStrudel> so..
21:17 <godix> Although I liked the semi-smile on his corpse at the end. Like he was relived his concious was done tormenting him.
21:18 <Hunter> yeah, that was a nice little part you had to watch for
21:18 <NerdStrudel> what with the place where the boy and "piccolo" are?
21:18 <quadir> watching 2:30 again.. I almost think he DIDN'T kill the boy again, and instead drops the rock on the ground
21:18 <NerdStrudel> is that ihis sub-concious?
21:18 <quadir> and yet the boy still dies
21:18 <orwell> As far as having to know the source, I wouldn't say so, since beyond the episode there's little overall coherency
21:18 <Hunter> quadir: i thought it was ricochete, like hits the boy then falls to the ground
21:18 <Hunter> we just miss the part where it hits him
21:19 <quadir> not only dies, but he goes and wraps his arms around the boy as he's bleeding and he doesn't just die but he completely organifies akira-style
21:19 <NerdStrudel> hmmm
21:19 <quadir> Hunter: yeah... I think you're right that he does hit the boy
21:19 <godix> Just based on the video, I'm assuming the gist of it is he kills boy. Some stuff with other people that I'm not sure of, flashbacks maybe? Then he his concious is tormenting him with images of the dead boy. During the tormenting he comes to the boy again and kills him a second time, perhaps in hope that doing so will kill his concious. Then he dies.
21:19 <quadir> Hunter: but I think it's an interesting idea to look at it that way
21:19 <NerdStrudel> so this is obviously the storyline of the anime itself
21:19 <NerdStrudel> why did he kill the boy though?
21:20 <Hunter> does he need a reason?
21:20 <quadir> we already established he's psycho in the first place
21:20 <NerdStrudel> well if he didn't Have a reason other then just doing it.. Why would he feel bad about it?
21:20 <quadir> boy could of heard him with a mistress and would tell his wife
21:20 <quadir> whatever
21:20 <godix> Maybe he thought the boy was Kickass and he was doing everyone a favor by getting rid of him. Then he found out it wasn't kickass and THAT is when his concious bothered him.
21:21 -!- G_Q has joined #amv-review
21:21 <NerdStrudel> i drr
21:21 <Hunter> i like godix's explanatio
21:21 <NerdStrudel> see*
21:21 <NerdStrudel> ?
21:21 <quadir> but the story in this vid definitly came through for me
21:21 <quadir> and I think that made the vid
21:21 <Hunter> after you mentioned it and I rewatched, yeah it did
21:21 <godix> Although towards the end there is a priest like character. Maybe he killed the man for being a murderer?
21:21 <NerdStrudel> sure
21:22 <NerdStrudel> religious people are starange that way
21:22 <NerdStrudel> hmm
21:22 <Hunter> godix: preist? where?
21:22 <NerdStrudel> the dude
21:22 <NerdStrudel> who puts the tag on him
21:22 <NerdStrudel> or whatever
21:22 <quadir> godix: or he's just saying a few words before he goes to hell
21:22 <godix> Yeah, the guy with those religious tags that I can not think of the name right now. The one who holds the tag that has the videos credits.
21:22 <Hunter> ah him
21:22 <NerdStrudel> uhhh... they are called
21:22 <orwell> Concerning the original story, should I mention what that episode is actually about so you can compare to it?
21:22 <NerdStrudel> seals or something
21:22 <NerdStrudel> idk
21:22 <NerdStrudel> yes
21:22 <godix> It almost appears like he had something to do with the death.
21:23 <NerdStrudel> tha twas all one episode?
21:23 <godix> orwell: Sure.
21:23 <Hunter> godix: isn't the priest also picollo from the 1 minute mark?
21:23 <orwell> Pretty much, yeah, there was a few shots for needed effects from others, but basically what happens is that the old guy you see next to the boy is going to retire, and out of all his workers, those you see assembled, the boy was the most loyal and kind to the old man, so the old guys gives the store to the kid
21:24 <orwell> Obviously a guy isn't happy about that, and kills the kid
21:24 <orwell> then the hero, whom we don't see, comes to that same store years later, and one haunted night the story is told
21:24 <NerdStrudel> i see
21:24 <orwell> The guy who killed the kid is still there working the show, as the past unfolds he goes insane, and they grant him death
21:24 <NerdStrudel> ohhh
21:24 <NerdStrudel> so... he abstracted the story a little
21:25 <NerdStrudel> but still not a whole lot
21:25 <orwell> Yeah, it's a little different, but the same notion is there
21:25 <orwell> I liked the way he presented it here
21:25 <NerdStrudel> the vid was good, just like I said. Not my cup of tea... like extremly, so it bored me
21:25 <orwell> For a 3:50 minute amv, that was probably a better telling of the original story
21:25 <orwell> I liked the tormented conscious more there
21:26 <NerdStrudel> so what, they are in some deamon realm?
21:26 <NerdStrudel> cause... the shop keeper's workers were deamons or something
21:26 <teya> heh.. i so didn't get the story
21:26 <orwell> no, there are a group of three who are...
21:26 <orwell> they grant death to the tormented basically
21:26 <orwell> give relief to old ghosts
21:26 <godix> Hmm, so he did a fairly decent idea of presenting the story considering we did all get the tormented reliving the murder thing.
21:27 <NerdStrudel> yah
21:27 <Hunter> I'd say he did right on the dot
21:27 <NerdStrudel> so the three at the end are those three deamons
21:27 <NerdStrudel> who.. killed him
21:27 <NerdStrudel> to relieve him of his torment
21:27 <godix> I'll have to look up the show.
21:27 <Hunter> godix: the priest you mentioned, the one holdign the credits, isnt that also "picollo"?
21:28 <orwell> I'd recommend it, but the show definitely isn't for everybody
21:28 <orwell> you'd probably like it Godix
21:28 <godix> Yeah. looks like it.
21:28 <godix> That comment works in reply to hunter and orwell both.
21:28 <NerdStrudel> Yeah it looks like he is
21:29 <orwell> I rather like what he did with the source, usually it's a bit...
21:29 <orwell> blander, and sharper colored
21:29 <NerdStrudel> oh
21:29 <NerdStrudel> who are the three with like the brain bell. that smile before the lightning strike kills himo r whatever?
21:29 <orwell> Generally you have one color, instead of tones
21:29 <godix> orwell: As soon as I saw the start of it I thought of you.
21:29 <orwell> the people who grant death basically
21:29 <NerdStrudel> HA
21:30 <NerdStrudel> I was right
21:30 <Hunter> Nerd: for your mind to comprehend, lets just call them the grim reaper
21:30 <NerdStrudel> HUZZAH
21:30 <orwell> I still need to do that shooting head of love thing
21:30 <godix> heh.
21:30 <orwell> hmmm
21:30 <NerdStrudel> Hey hunter, how bout we shut the fuck up?
21:30 <godix> orwell: That would work in a hentai video as well. The burst of cum is so powerful his head goes flying off.
21:30 <NerdStrudel> O_O
21:30 <Hunter> hasn't that been done?
21:30 <orwell> that's already been animated
21:31 <orwell> Godix: did you ever see the gif where the girl lactates and cuts off the guy's head?
21:31 <NerdStrudel> O_O
21:31 <godix> Yeah but the fun of it is twisting source to be a lot more wrong than it was to begin with. If it's intentionally animated to be that then it just isn't fun.
21:31 <NerdStrudel> indeed
21:31 <orwell> this is true
21:32 <godix> orwell: Yeah, I believe I have the gif somewhere around here.
21:32 <Fire_Starter> wtf...... why is it EVERY time i come back to a channel, it looks like it's turned into /b/?
21:32 <NerdStrudel> I wanna see it
21:32 <NerdStrudel> Curious
21:32 <godix> You could add in a followup of the Eva scene where the head splashes in water.
21:32 <orwell> I had that discussion last night actually, though it was about scintilla's video and comparing it to mine, where I forced the yaoi where his source just has it
21:32 <NerdStrudel> this is nowhere near /b/ you wanna/b/
21:32 <orwell> Godix: You ever see the totoro video where she pops the girls head off?
21:32 <orwell> or it does
21:33 <orwell> whatever gender
21:33 <godix> If this was /b/ then there wouldn't be a conversation. Each person would be babbling about something different and no one would pay attention to what anyone else said.
21:33 <godix> orwell: Yup, got that one too.
21:33 <NerdStrudel> what?
21:33 <NerdStrudel> jesus crhsit... Cats
21:33 <NerdStrudel> It's fucking trap
21:33 <NerdStrudel> and the sort
21:34 <orwell> speaking of trap...
21:34 <orwell> well, I shouldn't spoil it
21:34 <NerdStrudel> i'm not gonna watch it
21:34 <NerdStrudel> so go for it
21:34 <godix> Anyway, back to the point of the review. I liked the video. It isn't something I'll watch often but I am keeping it. Does a nice job of portraying it's story and maintaining a creepy mood.
21:34 <NerdStrudel> indeed
21:34 <NerdStrudel> well
21:34 <NerdStrudel> Yah
21:34 <orwell> I'll probably keep it in loop, I like the music
21:35 <NerdStrudel> Music doesn't really fit my taste
21:35 <orwell> the video itself isn't really inducive to repeated watching
21:35 <NerdStrudel> even for a slower song
21:35 <Hunter> I won't delete but probably won't watch
21:35 <NerdStrudel> I Delete everything
21:35 <godix> Actually I kinda thought that was a weak point. This type of video would do better with a more unusual audio choice, and a creepier audio choice. The music was just meh for me.
21:35 <NerdStrudel> If I wanna watch it bad enough, I'll just re-download it I suppose
21:36 <NerdStrudel> yah.. The music wasn't working for me to much
21:36 <NerdStrudel> I didn't like the mood set in the video either
21:36 <NerdStrudel> all to much
21:36 <Hunter> the way the scenes were made the song fit, but yeah the song could have been better
21:37 <godix> I think it would have worked better with something like a song from the Pans Labryinth soundtrack. An instrumental piece with a dark tone to it.
21:37 <NerdStrudel> yah
21:37 <NerdStrudel> this anime seems more dark then... like, creepy
21:37 <godix> orwell: Looks like you're feeding me audio in crackers mep.
21:38 <orwell> wha?
21:38 <orwell> oh, right right
21:38 <orwell> hmmm
21:38 <godix> oh, wait, that wasn't his list of editors. Just who's in. Nevermind. Thought that was the editing order.
21:38 <quadir> in the end I liked the vid, even if I don't like the genre. I liked that I got the whole story from start to finish and it's wasnt too simple either
21:39 <quadir> anyone else who hasn't put in their 2c before we move to bonus?
21:39 <orwell> I got my op in
21:39 <godix> Yes, it was definately more complex than the average naruto video. If you just stared at it without thinking, like most videos entice you to do, then you'd miss what was going on.
21:39 <NerdStrudel>the vid was good
21:40 <Hunter> make more horror AMVs without hellsing or the other vamp anime

That video by lirinis definitely deserves pimping. Period. I said what I think about it on amv.de already <:

Yeah, I really liked the video. I'm not a huge fan of the song, so it's hard for me to come back to it too often, but the mood is definitely there, and since horror AMVs (like, GOOD horror AMVs, not the Hellsing/Blood crap quadir mentioned) are some of my absolute favorite, this one definitely stood out to me. Not scary, exactly, just really disturbing.

I also really love the visual style of the video; even though most of it is probably from the anime itself, I think that's what makes this video's presentation so cool - if you haven't seen Requiem From The Darkness (and I haven't), it's really hard to tell where the anime ends and the effects begin.

Overall, definitely one of the better videos I've come across in the past month or so, and I think it deserves some more recognition.

Hmm, I'll throw a x3 to that. Not the most reviewable thing around but definately worth seeing. It'll appeal to those who like experimental type crap more than the tradition AMV lovers.

Oh... Fine to see some bigger pimping on this video.

Even though it's really not what I like.. I still respect it as being a well made Video, Check it the fuck out

these are the always the most retarded topics

Thank you for your input and participation, it is much appreciated.

What did you think of the video?

[Lirinis]

Hi there!
Thanks for your sudden attention. It was a nice morning surprise when I logged in to download some new vid and saw 8 opinions popped up out of nowhere. I was feeling happy all the day.
Your thorough discussion of the plot went just the way it was meant to go. The viewer was expected to wander between a set of possible interpretations in case the source is unknown. If one is acquainted with the Requiem, then yeah, this must look like a retelling of the first episode.
After a completely failed premiere every positive comment here, at amv.de or elsewhere is a great relief for me. So, thanks again!
...And it's something different from a horror as you have noticed. Horror is a most fitting label from available, putting aside "other" that tells nothing.
