Anyway, some songs/possible anime pairings for the inclined:
Artist: The Crystal Method
Song: The Red Pill
Anime: Evangelion
I know, Evangelion videos are done to death. But while listening to "The Red Pill" by The Crystal Method, I began to see possibilities for a vid...too bad I own NO Eva (and I dare call myself an anime fan).
Anyway, the idea would flip between scenes from "End of Evangelion" and the
The flips would coincide with Morpheus's voice saying 'you take the red pill....you take the blue pill'. Song's only 3:24 or so, but like all techno, it's so repetitive it lends itself, and nay requires, some cutting (I foresee a 2:50 song myself...).Do we still need Eva spoilers? wrote:'fantasy world' Shinji creates for himself when he is deciding to embrace Instrumentality or not, in episode 24 or so...been a while.
Artist: System of a Down
Song: Streamline
Anime: Inu-Yasha
In my mind, this song fits Inu-Yasha better than the other anime it's been used with (other than FLCL). Just my opinion, and once again, I own no Inu-Yasha.
Artist: Coldplay
Song: God Put A Smile Upon Your Face
Anime: Goldenboy
Idea that struck me afer hearing the song for the umpteenth time on the radio. Would do it myself, but no Goldenboy. Can't twist it to G Gundam....

Next idea was going to be Shoot Me Again by Metallica to Hellsing...but someone's already doing it.

Artist: Man or Astro-man?
Song: (Trapezoid)
Anime: NieA_7
You probably haven't heard of the band, or the song, or maybe even the anime. Trust me, they fit. I wanna do this one myself, too...maybe when I get back to Texas, I can borrow NieA from a friend.
Now you AMV creators can't say, "Hey, I wish I had a kick-ass idea, or even a mediocre one, to tide me over winter break!"
