Song: I'm Too Sexy
Artist: Right Said Fred

There's no real point to this video aside from having fun with a lot of hot bishonen, to a song that just begs for a various amv. It's random, includes some of my characteristically gaudy effects, and a very hapazard hand at action sync. That said, I expect fellow fangirls to get more out of this than the hardcore editors.

It was a lot of fun to make, but I think it's even more fun to watch. ^_^

Hmm...3 Tasuki scenes, very good though I think he is sexiest in the 2nd OVA.

Very sharp, good job ^_^

This video does nothing but enforce the ever present anime stereotype that men are nothing but mere sex objects. I can't help but be offended. Some of those guys are what, 12 years old. I mean, how would you like it if women were objectified in the same way? You should be ashamed. Ashamed. In fact, just for this video, no equal wages for you

.

Now to get back to every man's duty, running the world.

Ok, if we want to see women objectified in the same way, we'll watch the original anime (hmmm, how many school uniforms w/ tiny skirts and super skin tight, barely there, why do you bother wearing clothes suphero/spy outfits can there possibly be? Oh, and you're going to throw in some shower scenes complete w/ the towel time afterwards and some undie clad locker room scenes as well?!) But oh yeah, we already do watch anime.

So get off your high horse!

Anyhow!

I loved it! It was great! Brightened my day. The effects made it. (Loved the scenery BTW

) And let all the guys and uber-editors w/ no sense of humor get upset. I liked it! (Techinically speaking, that doesn't mean much, seeing as my vids for the most part suck and I'm in no way in touch w/ the public opinion, but oh well!) Well, Have fun! (or keep having fun!

)

Next thing you know, she'll attract some kind of queer fanboy following.

Hmm, well, it's well-edited. Some neat effects and good picture quality except for the Get Backers footage being squished. Coulda done without the nearly-nude shots and underage guys though. :/ Just as I don't like women being objectified, I don't like it with men either. They can be sexy without being sexual. I loves me some men, but not mansluts.

But, as a vid it's well-edited with creativity and goes well with the beats. The cat parts were very cute.

It's a very short song, not nearly room enough for all my favorite bishies. I like the way Tasuki's done in the 2nd ova, but most of the hot scenes from that one are angsty or have a negative undertone. Might have killed the mood. Can't have that.

Wait...you mean men aren't sex objects??? Where's the fun in that? And I didn't do anything perverted with the boys - Sasuke may be 12 or so, but if he thinks he's hot, far be it from me to tell him otherwise. I just used the scenes, they're the ones smirking or glaring like that. ;p

Thank you. ^__^ This vid comes after three angsty vids in a row for me, so the main idea was to have fun and make something that will get a smile out of me when I watch it. I'm glad it cheered you up - that's about the only purpose it has, but it's a nice purpose. I rarely do upbeat vids.

I think guys *could* enjoy this, if they don't mind my sense of humor. I played it really serious with some of the funnier lyrics - I think that's funny in and of itself. ^.^

Which underage guys were shown nearly nude? I'm thinking through it and the only guys under age are the two Sasuke's (Naruto and Samurai Deeper Kyo), Li (Card Captor Sakura), and maybe Matt (Digimon). The Gundam boys are 15+ (16 in the shots from the movie) and they're all fully dressed. Everyone else is either a demon who looks younger than he is, or a mage (Cleff - magic knight rayearth).

The various 'nude' shots were mostly of Gatteau and Millefuile (sorcerer hunters) and Gojyo (Saiyuki).

I'm not worried about underage characters, though. We get to see Chibi-Usa with her shirt off and half naked in Sailormoon all the time. If the anime shows it, I have no problem using it. It's not like I use hentai anime.

>.> <.<

I didn't mean both; I listed "nearly-nude" and "underage" as two different instances. ...Plus Chibi Usa didn't have developed breasts yet so there was no reason to hide her anyway. *cough*

Well made vid either way.

Okay. ^_^;; I was actually worried there that I'd got some child abuse in there. I like bishonen (the literal definition being pretty young boys), but not naked - if I wanted that I'd have used the naked shots of Yahiko (Rurouni Kenshin) and Gotenks (DBZ). I prefer the skin to belong to men. ;p

True. I'd have to watch the more explicit anime to get a better example of naked prepubescent girls. ^_^;

Well made vid either way.

Thank you.
