I'm about to embark on my first AMV project, a character profile for a PC in one of my DnD games. Anyway, I've picked the song, and have a general idea of the images I want to include, now I just need suggestions on where to find those images.

Genre:
Fantasy.

Needed:
Raining blood.
Manaic bathing in raining blood. (Bonus points if he caused the raining blood. Super bonus if he has a scythe)
Eyes in the darkness, lots of eyes in the darkness.
Eclipses.
Apocalyptic destruction, preferably by storm.
Masses of people turning into monsters (Humanoid monsters)

For eyes in the darkness you can find some neat looking scenes in Kasho no Tsuki - animal/ghost type eyes that glow in the dark (some sort of jungle/forest setting outside a temple). Now...finding that anime is the real problem.

You can find people-zombies in YYH, but they aren't really monsters - they just turn bluish green and look like living dead things. ^_^;

I know some anime where there's sprays of blood, and there's a nice bloody scene in Yami no Matsuei where the guy is all splattered in it and licking it off his hand. >.> <.<

Raining blood is a little different, though. You might just go with live action clips from Blade or something. ;p Actual blood showers.

For a lot of crimson imagery and some great apocolyptic scenes, there's always EVA. I also know Hellsing's got no shortage of blood, but I'm not so sure it's presented in the manner you need to work with.

The "bloody eye" shots from the first episode of Cowboy Bebop, while not exactly someone "bathing" in blood, might due if you can't find something closer to what you're looking for.

Eyes in the darkness - I know you'll probably get a kick out of this one, but Princess Tutu has no shortage of these in a few episodes in the form of the "monster raven". They are two crimson red, narrow and slanted eyes in a field of white feathers planted like crosses or grave markers. Would make a good transition to the fields of bloody crosses in Eva (which also, actually, involves a single red eye in a crimson sky at some point).

There are also bloody crosses and a black bird that tears open the earth, with blood dripping from its talons and the patches of ground that it tore up, in Pink Floyd's "The Wall" - more specifically the "Goodbye Blue Sky" section of The Wall.

Monsters - that's a hard one. I can think of plenty of animated people, and animated monsters, but not so many transformation scenes between the two. The one that does come to mind also comes from The Wall, where humans are transformed into cowering primate things with noses bearing a remarkable resemblance to gas masks. (Good ol' Roger Waters and his war imagery).

What you might want to try is taking a scene of, say, a bunch of humas running across a battle field, and a scene of a bunch of monster-things running across a battle field, lining them up as best you can and doing a crossfade. The viewer should be able to connect the dots.

Correction - the eyes of the "Monster Raven" aren't in the field of white feathers, they're over the field in a perpetually black and wind-swept sky.

The Vision of Escaflowne has raining blood (in some of Hitomi's visions). And an (pseudo-)eclipse (when Millerna and Dryden get married).

Eyes in the darkness - While not so much fantasy, I'd suggest trying ep 6 of Hellsing

Eclipse + Apocalypse + possible people as monsters - Berserk...last 3 eps

Raining blood. - I remember lots of blood in Samurai X

Manaic bathing in raining blood. (Bonus points if he caused the raining blood. Super bonus if he has a scythe) - Ehhh...

Eyes in the darkness, lots of eyes in the darkness. - Oh jesus, if only I could remember the name of this anime. There's three clans, who have three chosen ones, and they have different weapons. And they say "You Bastard!" alot, cuz there's a 5 minute scene with tons of eyes in the dark.

Eclipses. - Princess Mononoke? I could be wrong.

Apocalyptic destruction, preferably by storm. Can't think of any offhand.

Masses of people turning into monsters (Humanoid monsters) - Biohazard.

Masses of people turning into monsters (Humanoid monsters) xenosaga nearly every one turns into gnois or slayers book of spells there some guys who turn into wolf men

Raining blood.
Manaic bathing in raining blood. (Bonus points if he caused the raining blood. i know in inyusha there is one ep that has raining blood i forgetwitch one ask a inyusha fan but i have a second idea .... this may or may not be a spoiler (truth is every thing you havn't seen is a spoiler)

in Rurouni Kenshin ep 55the young boy Sojiro just got done killing his foster parents in the rain and hes holding a sword that might take the place of you sythe ... but the rain is not blood but if you increase the red tint (if you can increse the red tint) it should look like rain

for the eclipses in Rurouin Kenshin there is one its in ep 67 or 68 forgot withc one

Apocalyptic destruction, preferably by storm. i am not sure but mabey record of the lodoss war or bastard or slayers all might have it

there is a scene in Weiss Kreuz where Farfello kills his parents... not expactly "raining blood", but still...

Carrot Glace from Bakuretsu/ Sorcerer hunters changes from human to monster

Sailor Moon for the apocalyptic destruction... you know, the one at the beginning of Super S where Sailor Mars sees the Destruction goddess... everything is red, too, which might add to your bloody effect...

hahaha... I forgot one....

In fushigi yuugi, miaka gets attacked by a man with a schtye... nakago killeds a bird (yea, it doesn't fit in with what you asked for...)

Miaka turns into a monster (episode 6)
Shoka turns into a monster...
a hand comes out of the darkness and pulls her into the darkness... episode 8... in episode 9 the background is red (yeah... not eyes, a hand)
People turn into zombies and zombies come out of the ground in one episode (the same episode w/ shoka mentioned above)

Rezo turns into shabrinigdo in slayers... I haven't seen the rest of Slayers, but I think that some peole turn into dragons in Next or Try
