    I come back to this AMV every few years and it never, *never* fails to elicit a sense of wonder and joy in life. Thank you.

    It's 7 years later and I still love this mv. You're the reason I watched Madoka Magical and it's been one of my favorite animes for so many reasons :)

      Same -- but I saw it at a convention contest way back when. I still love it. Always will.

  • @TheLyricalWrdsmth
    @TheLyricalWrdsmth 4 роки тому +5

    I think about this AMV a lot for some reason. Long after my interest in anime has wanted, I still come back to this well cut video, and this version of the song.

  • @ozaru90
    @ozaru90 9 років тому +6

    Been coming back to listen and watch this video ever since I first saw it in Anime Boston. Magnificent even after years of listening to it.

    @naejin 9 років тому +3

    I'm glad that this AMV is amongst Shin's most viewed ones. This AMV and "Extraball" being presented at Anime Boston 2011 were the ones that opened my eyes to Shin's stellar AMVs, and also how compelling AMVs can be.made in general. Since then, I've picked up on other great AMV editors, but Shin would probably be in an AMV editor Hall of Fame if such a thing existed. His editing is easily "over nine thousand", and to this day, I (as well as the rest of his subscriber base I'm sure) keep looking forward to the projects he completes.

      0:00 to 0:35 really amazed me. 0:35 to 2:45 was really good too. 2:45 to 3:30 was awesome! and 3:30 to 4:45 was simply jaw dropping. However, the best part by far has to be 0:00 to 4:59 hands down.

    I wish UA-cam had the old rating stars cause just liking this is not enough. I have to say this deserves 5 out of the five stars system. Beautiful job on this AMV. It makes me feel all nostalgic like for new-age.

  • @rinapetrova3402
    @rinapetrova3402 10 років тому +18

    One of the best AMV's I've seen in my otaku life ^^
    It gives me such a sensation of happiness and peace that I just want to jump out of my seat and start to run to wherever listening to this. So great!!!

  • @takarayt
    @takarayt 4 роки тому

    Taken from my favourite AMVs blog: 'This AMV is like waking up from a long nap. Everything is hazy, you don't know where you are or what is real. It takes you on a bizarre journey through the trippiest moments the medium has to offer, only connected by Imogen Heap’s dreamy ‘Hide and Seek’. The editing is barebones, but surreal clips from Katanagatari, Tekkonconcrete, Genius Party, and Madoka Magica speak louder than any fancy editing could. There’s a unique, intangible wonder about this edit which makes it so hard to describe, but that is what makes it beautiful.'

    I was fortunate enough to catch this at Boston Anime. I was simply blown away and moved. Like an earlier poster said, sitting with hundreds or thousands of people and having all that wicked bass pounding away...
    Totally F'ing Epic!
    Thank You for the moment and please do keep up the awesome work.

  • @AlphaOmega925
    @AlphaOmega925 12 років тому

    Prelude to a Dream is such an apt title, everything from the clips used to the music gives the amv a surreal and dreamlike quality. Brilliantly done.

    It took me so long to find this AMV, searching AMV winners and scrolling until I find this.
    This just brings nostalgia and goosebumps

  • @NotOneToFly
    @NotOneToFly 13 років тому

    You know that feeling you get when a song is really good, or something really touches you; you get shivers all down your spine and on your body? That starts around 1:50 for me and doesn't stop until the end.

  • @lubavi
    @lubavi 12 років тому

    I won't ever stop listening to this. I am awed, inspired and I hope I will someday make as good videos as this masterpiece.

  • @eagleeye0078
    @eagleeye0078 13 років тому

    Been looking for this for a month now. Saw it at Anime North and it was easily my favourite. Extremely well put together and my personal best in show. You also managed to find a remix of a song I normally hate that's now totally awesome to listen to. Thanks for that :)

  • @AnimexNxGames
    @AnimexNxGames 13 років тому

    This is an incredible AMV. I like it because its different from most the AMVs that you see out there. It is interesting, brilliantly made, used shows that I have never seen before (I've only seen Summer Wars, and The Girl who Leapt Through Time), and something about it just pulls you in and makes you want to watch. This is brilliant. I can't see how even ONE person can dislike this. He must be blind.

    This was one of my favorites I saw at Anime Boston, it was so amazingly beautiful!

You did such a magnificent job, thank you for this video! :)

    I saw this at Detour, and thought it was brilliant. The Best in Drama was well-deserved. The remix of the song is gorgeous, and I've never seen any of the anime included in here, so I'm eager to look into them. :3

  • @naejin
    @naejin 13 років тому

    I have to admit, I kind of discounted this AMV upon early impression of the blurry & someone vague anime (Wanwa the Doggy?). However, the music choice along with the editing blew me away. I'm sold & feel willing to give this "weird" anime bundle a chance if I ever find it. Probably my favorite AMV of Anime Boston. Bravo.

    @legendry307 The original is sung by Imogen Heap. She uses a voice editing program to make her voice sound cold and mechanical to convey the true meaning behind the song :)

    @madsembo The scene around 3:38 where the girl clutches her head and is screaming is from a short film called Dimension Bomb from the anthology Genius Party Beyond. Also the dramatic camera angle woman on the roof's edge at 1:17 is from the show Puella Magi Madoka Magica.
