SaiKano - Memories of Love and Conflict

Brad · Post by **Brad** » Wed Apr 23, 2003 2:39 pm

I remember reading on some anime news site, that someone at a con from either ADV or Pioneer had leaked that SaiKano had been licensed and would be released as She, The Ultimate Weapon. But I havent been able to find the news story, nor is it on AnimeOnDVD's license list........... Oh well. Maybe I'm just freaking out.

Anyways, as I mentioned on LJ, fantastic video. I've watched it 3 times already and I keep noticing new things. It's awesome.

And yes I will re-emphasize, do NOT watch this video unless you've seen ALL of SaiKano. It has a pretty huge ending (that you probably won't see coming, at least i didnt), that is featured in this AMV.

WOW, that was really good 8)

I dont care about the spoilers being that I've only seen one episode of Saikano (a veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery long time agoe) and didnt like it ....

But now after watching this video I wanna go back and download all the episodes

OMG Ian, I hate you =O

You made this in five days? Well, to quote Strong Bad "Holy crap!"

Honestly, I thought it was great, but I didn't really like that much of it. The last minute I really liked, but the rest of the video was pretty "...cool..." for me

Good luck at JACON with this video!

Yeah, it's not my best work - it was much harder to make this video (emotionally) than I first expected. Trying to do both fluffy romance and crippling sadness in the same video is damn tricky

As it happens I dont think I acheive either

Capture =

, awesome job (not that I expected less)

The video is good but I liked shameless rock more, I can definatley see growth in overlays and photoshopping compared to aruma shinjikun which is a good thing...

The region 2 DVDs are really good quality.

I'm not 100% happy with the encode though - it's the best that can be done with modern mpeg4 equivalents but it's still got far too many issues in dark scenes and with fades in general.

I love the way the oranges have come out in some of the scenes though

Is orange usually a problem color?
