Imagine the line hitting. Killed this boy... And now knowing. There was no actual reason to be there. Welcome to Hell. We embraced the suck but, now.... How do I explain my existence for others!?
one of the very *first* AMVs i ever downloaded, at age 19, i had my 1st computer i could call my own, i was using KaZaa, had my own personal phone line and dial-up internet, was living in my second group home, it was 2003, and here i am in 2023, age 39, and i love this AMV, still. so much nostalgia, thank you, for re-uploading this, it's still as epic as it was the day i first discovered it
Okay. Story time. This is actually the most important song in my life. Around 2002 Ii got my first internet access at home, and in about 2 years I was a constant inhabitant of an anime-forum (yeah kids, it used to be just as nerdy back then) I came from classical musical school, learnt the piano and absolutely hated rock/metal. Until I was shown this exact song in an AMV (anime music video). The contrast, the fresh idea of combining classical music with metal (little did I know of previous projects or bands), the energy.... Not only did it grow on me, it instantly caught me. I re-watched that bad, over-compressed video (remember, this was dial-up era) like 100 times until it changed my life. I'm now a diehard metalhead, not a musician (I have muscular atrophy, can't hold the guitar, much less play it... newver even got out of the starting book of my 6 years in piano) but still, quite a different guy than I otherwise would be. All thanks to this song, Tuomas and Tarja. And this AMV
The greatest AMV ever. It was so well done for its time it made me hunt down the DVD set overseas because it was so damn close to perfection in my mind after seeing this.
I really wish someone would remake this with higher-quality video (HD if possible, and in the correct aspect ratio). This video only existing in sub-360p resolution is a crime.
+Stephen Stone Still nine years later, one of the most contemplative and impacting, coordinating AMVs of its ostensible genre/message, in my opinion. There is one from Fullmetal Alchemist older as well with the same song which I appreciate.
The source anime was made before 1080p was a thing. The entire anime is in 4:3 so there can't be a truly 1080p of any AMV of it. I remember seeing this years ago around when it first came out and it did not have that great of a resolution... That being said, this version is pretty degraded (probably from being recompressed). This is surely better quality (despite just being 352 x 240): www.animemusicvideos.org/members/members_videoinfo.php?v=8101
This has to be by far the most gritty, and realistic of all the Gundams out there. Not the most one of a kind, unique, but definitely the most realistic and believable.
I believe they actually consulted the military when making this series, or they had a few veterans in their creation team who had been in conflict before, which makes it more believable. It's an amazing series, and me and my siblings agree, the best one. They really should've Incorporated this more in other series. (They KIND OF did in Ironblood(?) Orphans)
I remember seeing this at the AMV contest at Anime Oasis back in 2004. Still the best AMV I've ever seen! Best directing I've seen in an AMV. STILL gives me goosebumps. Thank you for putting it on UA-cam.
The main character of this particular Gundam show ( Shiro Amada) is in fact the oldest MAIN character piloting a suit in the whole gundam universe (not counting that War in the Pocket). Yes, there are Char, Gato and some others, but they are all secondary characters. And this is one of the coolest things in 08th team - No kids piloting the suits :) No supernatural brain waves and deep philosophy about the life and peace, that took great place in others Gundam shows.
@@AcridWhistle yup! I got this off Limewire wayyyy back in high school haha. And for some reason posted it to UA-cam when it first launched, which is crazy to think was almost two decades ago.
+YuukiKonnoAMV This specific AMV broke me into both Symphonic Metal (Nightwish as a gateway) and Gundam Anime (08th, then outward from there). Prior to this, I was kinda 'meh' on Gundam W, but I gave it a second look after seeing this AMV about a dozen times in a row.
Nearly 15 years ago this was the video that introduced me to Nightwish. Now I'm here again a mere 2 weeks after Marco's announced his retirement from Nightwish. 10th Man Down imo is still one of their most epic and badass songs. Still a great AMV too ;)
My love of all things 08th MS Team introduced me to the world of Nightwish. And this video still kicks so much ass almost 10 years later (found in the fall of 07.)
Still so powerful, and accurate of war per the countless innocent, the expert use of 8th MS Team pairing with this 10th Man Down... endless gratitude for enduring masterpiece
AMVs still are a thing...except most of the folks don't quite get it right. This one was done with real talent, who could match the animations to the music and lyrics. Rubyeye had a clear talent, and I wonder if they went on to a career in movie/show production. They deserved it. But if you're unsure about AMVs, just type AMV into the UA-cam bar and see how many results it comes up with.
ahh i remember this AMV, i dled it off of limewire a few years ago, n its quality is alot better when u actually have the amv. Thnx for postin it , i nearly forgot bout it
Fantastic video, even if so many years past. And, as with the rest of the commentators, i wish i knew who was behind it - so that i could bug him to make it again in much higher quality :) It deserves milions of views.
there's forbidden star crossed lovers who start out by as enemies trying killing eachother, there's atrocity, genocide, sacifice & the horror of being the only one left of those you've served with & therefor must finish & make things right at all cost so that the past can rest in peace & so that the future might suvive to become a reality-
Mobile Suit Gundam: 08th MS Team. One of the best gundams, in my opinion...very realistic; some of the suits were actually redesigned to make them more realistic. And the main character is actually outclassed by most of the Zeon pilots. He gets his ass handed to him in about 8 seconds by his counterpart, Zeon ace Noland Richards (?). Oh, Niqhtwish always rocked. GREAT JOB on the vid, many kudos.
This here. This AMV pretty much changed my life or at least my point of view of the world. I used to be an elitist, saying that rock/metal sucked and that only mainstream pop was okay with respect towards classical/symphonic music. I hated rock for being rebelish and flashy and dark just for showing off. Then i was shown this. I am now a true rocker, knowing that rock and metal respect classical music way better than pop ever could if it even tried. Gundam, Nightwish,Rubyeye: thank you so much!
@dan125171776 There's also cliches, cheesiness, more writing problems than you can shake a stick at, but it does have my favorite fictional character of all time.
@lonewolf3317 , the first one is good but it revolves around overpowerd suits, then again so does wing. id have to say tho gundam unicorn is looking pretty good.
Indeed it is. :) Rubyeye was definitely one of the best AMV creators back in the day. Look up his Bastard - Karma vid as well, if you haven't already. :)
Oh god this vid is still up!? I haven't seen this in 10 years!
I downdloaded this on limewire over a decade Argos
i see what you did there ;)
I watched this 10 years ago to
Same! I’m crushed that some of my favorites from back then have disappeared. 😭

If this amazing composition was redone in modern HD it would get a million views, easy. This was thing that got me into Nightwish 14 years ago.

"I alone, the Great White Hunter..."
That combined with the shot of EZ-8 there always sends shivers down my spine
every time i watch it, even after 17 years.
Boy the ending of this clip is now more appropriate than ever…
The first time I saw this I was a kid... Now I'm almost thirty years old. Really puts things in perspective lol.
This gives me flashbacks! Remember watching this over a decade ago.

Back when UA-cam was in its first few birth months. Legendary.
Way before then, I remember this from a 2001-2002 download

Old but gold
A true masterpiece, and the only AMV ever to make me watch the anime simply because the AMV was so good.
This far older then 15 Years.
I originally saw this on LimeWire around 2000-2002
Yup! I downloaded it around late 2005/early 2006 and uploaded it shortly after UA-cam launched in 2006 :)
The AMV that got me into Tarja's Nightwish. ALL HAIL THE GODMOTHER OF SYMPHONIC METAL!

miss the golden age of AMV youtube
I really did try to find this amv these past feww years ;-; finallyyyy this year i found, i listened to this when i was small.
One of my top 5 favorite Gundam Wing series
My mom's friend gave me a VHS with this on it almost 20 years ago. Crazy.
I saw this amv in 2006 in 6th grade and it's still amazing
My love of all things 08th MS Team introduced me to the world of Nightwish.
And this video still kicks so much ass almost 10 years later (found in the fall of 07.)
This needs a Bluray remake. I thank God this video is still up.
I cannot bring myself to deactivate this account or to take this video down haha.
@@RinaBloom thank you for that.
Years and years later and I still love this music video.
Saw thisa over a decade ago, Rubyeyes, you sure know how to rock anime an music!!
Someone needs to track down Rubyeyes and beg to have a better quality version for us all
I use to watch this amv when it first came out I'm glad to see it's still here.
Dispite the low quality, this AMV is a masterpiece.
So many great memories
Still so powerful, and accurate of war per the countless innocent, the expert use of 8th MS Team pairing with this 10th Man Down... endless gratitude for enduring masterpiece
Conolydrop cast is the reason I’m watching this.
Cheers lads.
God damn this brings back memories.
Finally finally finally found this AMV. ❤❤❤
Watched this video when it came out, now I'm about to start this anime for the first time, I've got high expectations
One of the first AMVs I ever saw. Still good
This is so old AMV and I never stop loving it! The music is like made for the video!
This is still a good vid...possibly the best AMV out there....and it manages to convey a powerful message.
its been years since ive seen this video and probably one of the best AMV videos out there!!
It took me 13 years to search for this video.
Haven't seen this clip in 17 years!
Yup I saw this when it was first made, got me into Nightwish. Back when AMVs were a thing, this one was just in a tier of it's own.

One of the best amv ever..
This needs an HD remaster
To watch this again has taking my breath away
An old favorite of mine. Count me as one of those would love to see this done in Modern HD also. Shit, i'll even put up money for it.
Chills to this day with this one
That was the first video I saw on UA-cam some 12-13 years ago :')
I have saved this video to my collection
holy shit this needs a remaster
Wooooahhhhh holy cow you are active, that’s amazing
All the years I've known this AMV... and just now I learned the anime is Gundam...
2020 still love it
dear god i remember downloading this from bearshare all those years ago this was my first ever amv i ever watched so glad this was my first :)
If the creator is reading this I need him to redo this video but in HD. Honestly.
I wish we had a way to track down the original creator or someone to recreate it in HD.
2024 still beautiful
Someone need to remake this with HD Video Material
Oh man, we need this AMV in 4k
Whomever does this will be my hero.
ahh i remember this AMV, i dled it off of limewire a few years ago, n its quality is alot better when u actually have the amv. Thnx for postin it , i nearly forgot bout it
OMG!!
This amv is still up?!
Hallellujah!
Man this needs a remaster ;)

@Fuselit I can hear this first time in minimum 12 years ;) awesome old Nightwish
This song never gets old haha nostalgia blast
This flick is an incredible blend of anime and symphonic rock, I just can NOT stop watching it!!! Kudos to the creators of all three.
