Title: "Sweet
Soul Brother"
Anime: Kareshi Kanojo no Jijyo

Set Radio AMV Project. Go download the whole
thing!

This video is the first track in the "Jet
Set Radio" Anime Music Video Project. Similar
to other multi-editor projects, various songs
in this megamix have been spliced together and
transition from one another into different videos
by different editors. This is why the video has
such an abrupt end.
So, with the name of the song in mind (being
Sweet Soul Brother), I had to obviously pick something
to go with the theme of being a babed out sweet
soul brother daddy pimp kinda guy. My first inclination
was to pick an anime with blantant ladies men
in them, but I figured, meh, that would be too
easy. I realized then that I had the first three
DVDs of Kare Kano (or "His and Her Circumstances")
lying around doing nothing, and I remembered the
two main male characters of Arima and Asaba. Arima
is more of the "perfect guy" who can
do no wrong, and is oh-so-very clean ut and dreamy.
The second male, Asaba, is much more of the self-absorbed,
yes-I-know-I'm-sexy type of guy. The two made
for a nice clash in this video. The only thing
resembling a story in this video is Yukino Miyazawa
swooning over Arima, and Asaba making an ass out
of himself.

Fans of "Rurouni Kenshin" will know
how tortured of a soul Kenshin is. Back in his
days as the "Hitokiri Battousai," he
meticulously and effeciently murdered for his
government, not thinking about the consequences
for those he killed. When he killed the wrong
person (Tomoe), he finally began to clearly see
exactly what it is he was doing and causing in
the world around him. With the coming of the Meiji
Restoration, Kenshin gave up his ways, and completely
abandoned his role as the "Hitokiri Battousai."
Feeling such an incredible deal of remorse for
those he killed in the past, Kenshin began to
walk down the path of redemption; by saving others,
he would atone for the deaths he had caused in
his past.

Title: "Has
Anyone Seen My Underwear?"
Anime: Chobits
Format: MPEG
Audio: "Has Anyone Seen My Underwear"
by The Youth Ahead
Length: 0:57 seconds
Size: 14 MB
Completed: 1/10/02
|

Last year, I started watching the
anime and reading the manga of "Chobits."
I found it a light and cute and enjoyable show,
and I definitely wanted to work with the anime
somehow. One of the most memorable and amusing
aspects of the series is Chii and the "pantsu"
episode (or for that matter, all of the moderate
fan service in general). I figured "hey,
that could be a fun video, making fun of all the
underwear jokes and fan service in Chobits. But
that would only 30 seconds funny." 30 seconds
funny? Hey, I've got a MiniVid idea on my hands!
Story is... Chii's a dumb blonde
robot with an apparent inability and/or desire
to find and/or wear underwear. Simple, yes, but
that's why this is a short video. That idea can
only take me so far, ya know? The video starts
off with Hideki finding the robot (known as a
"Persocom" in the anime) in the trash,
and once he brings this scantily clad lass home,
he learns that she isn't wearing any panties!
After this, Chii goes on her trek around town
to find underwear. By the time she has underwear,
she doesn't know what to do with them, and well...
you'll have to watch the video to find out what
happens in the end. :P

Audio: "I'm Just a Kid," by Simple
Plan
Length: 3:24
Size: 52 MB
Debuted: 9/28/02
Awards: Best Character Profile at AWA 8
|

We didn't want to make a "Trigun"
video with all the Gung-Ho guns, with lots of
action, or with lots of comedy. There's more
to "Trigun" than that; there's a very
deep side to the character of Vash, something
that we really wanted to bring out. The natural
flow of the video shows Vash waking up, sitting
around, and feeling sorry for himself. It seems
like he has no friends, no-one to socialize
with, and no-one wants to accept him. Vash finds
himself thinking back to the "old times"
up on the ship, with Rem and Knives; he's now
the child he speaks of. He seems to have friends
and is enjoying himself and his life... until
the tragic day. Knives begins a rage of destruction,
murdering his friends, and leaving him with
no-one. The two grow up together, but Vash remains
with no-one to turn to, no friends, no human
compassion to be found. Vash is back to present
day, still sulking to himself, questioning why
his life has become what it is, constantly thinking
back to the times of the tragedy. Rem still
hasn't left his memory completely, but she fades
in and out of it, almost as if to tell him that
he needs to fill the void in his life with SOMETHING,
to find SOMEONE to connect with...

The main joke is... yes... Shishio.
He's burned. He makes fire. SMOKE. Har har EL
OH EL. Once you get past the cheesy concept,
there's actually somewhat of a dramatic story
build-up going on, too! The basic idea is more
or less what you see in the TV series: Kenshin's
enjoying life with his friends, but is called
upon to battle against the forces of evil, must
bid a temporary farewell and get going with
the fight. The early parts of the video have
Kenshin's initial meeting with Shishio (we threw
him in earlier than what you see in the show
to kinda make our own story), then we've got
Kenshin having fun (IE - getting drunk) with
his friends (and occasionally he dances on top
of a ball with an umbrella). We get a drumroll
of Kenshin saying good-bye to his friends, Shishio
gathering his forces, and FLASH... the battle
begins. Kenshin has some friends jump in along
the way, but in the end, he must take care of
things himself; he's the strongest one...

Debuted: 7/19/02
Awards: 3rd place at Shoujocon '02

This video was created in the
Spring of 2002 as my primary Shoujocon and Otakon
music video contest submission. If you would
like the quick 'n easy one sentence synopsis
of this video, then all you need to know is
that basically, this video tells a story of
a young man coming to grips with a past life,
and goes a little crazy in the process. Technically
speaking, this video is very traditional and
simple. This video is *highly* edit-intensive,
but this was mostly for me to learn and practice
making my timing a little more tight, and to
keep the video visually interesting. This video
won 3rd place at Shoujocon '02, and will appear
at Otakon. To read the full description of this
video (and I highly recommend you do, if you

Created on the first weekend of our summer 2002
vacation, this Cowboy Bebop movie trailer was
a joint creation made by Meri and Mike "VegettoEX"
LaBrie. This is an action/comedy/drama (if that
makes any sense) trailer, that is by far our best
video work together yet. The basic premise: Leon
(played by Spike) is a hitman who takes a young
girl under his wing so that she can avenge her
family's death. That's more or less it! We hope
you like this thing, cuz we had tons of fun editing
it. To read the full, long description of this

This is by far, my most ambitious video to date.
It's also my new favorite, next to "Again"
and "Traces of Insanity." Here's the
short summary of this video: It focuses on Utena's
life, and how she has to deal with overcoming
her past, and must venture off into her future,
with the help of the mysterious girl, Anthy. Not
only is this video the most intense edit-heavy
video I've made so far, but it's also rather weird.
I really hope you like it! I worked very hard
on this (spent about 3 months on it), and I'm
very proud of this it. This video appeared at
Katsucon 8, and won "Best Drama/Romance"
at the Megacon music video contest. To read the

I used the Kimagure Orange Road movie for this
music video, and a song from an 80s cartoon show,
Jem. Odd combination, eh? If you haven't seen
KOR before, I really, really recommend it. It
will be available on DVD in February, too! Anywho,
the video is all about a girl named Hikaru who
loves to dance and is trying out for a musical
audition. Her best friend Madoka is also in the
video, shown playing the piano, as she gives mental
support for her friend. That's a rather simplified
descrption of the video, so if you'd like to get

This video is a look into the character of Haruka
Tenoh (known as "Amara" in the dub,
or, Sailor Uranus), and how she is deeply affected
by the destiny that awaits her, and the tough
decisions she must face in life. This is a neat
lil' character tribute, and I hope you enjoy it.
I'm kinda surprised with the end result of this
video, in that I didn't initially expect to go
into detail over the complexities of the character.
I just wanted it to be something fun to work on,
at first, but it evolved into something in which,
I hope, has a unique story. Oh well, I'll shut
up now. If you enjoy Sailor Moon, then I hope
you like this thing. To read the full description

Ever heard of the anime "Boys Be"?
Didn't think so. -_- Well, it's a very fun, cute,
and hormonal anime, that ended just last year
in Japan. Here's the basic story of the video:
it revolves around three horny high school boys,
who spend their time checking out, hitting on,
and trying to impress girls. They fail. LOTS of
times. Hilarity ensues. After being rejected on
numberous occasions, and making general asses
out of themselves, the guys finally find romance
in the end!!! Awww, how cute. To read my full

Since the only Cowboy Bebop music videos I've ever seen
have been serious, I knew I wanted to make a fun

the crazy women in his life. If you're familiar
with the series, who know who they are. If you
haven't seen Bebop, check this out anyway. Originally,
I wanted this vid to be just about my fave gal
in the series, Ed. But, it turned into something
more than that. Anyway, I really love how this
one turned out. To read my extended description

Here is my final version of "Again".
It won second place at Shoujocon, and will be
shown at Otakon 2001. This video is all
about the love triangle between Miaka, Tamahome,
and Hotohori from "Fushigi Yuugi."
In the end, she ends up with one guy...and it
sucks to be the rejected one! This is probably
my favorite music video that I've made.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! What's
been modified: the entire instumental portion
is now an action sequence, and what used to be
in the instrumental part is now at the end.
There are also some other minor modifications.

This is a remake of a video I made during over
winter break in 1998. The first version was made
using 2 VCRs, but for this version, I re-made
it using the computer.
The concept of this video is nutty violence!
One would think I was a very angry little girl
considering the amount of violence in this video.
Basically, I wanted to make a really action-packed
video that I myself would enjoy watching, and
would feel good enough to show my friends. If
I remember correctly, I think I even had a few
hints of timing in this one, and my first few
instances of *actual* dramatic moments, in terms
of lyric-matching.
This video contains scenes from Dragonball Z,
Ranma 1/2, Fushigi Yuugi, Sailor Moon, Slayers,
Magic Knight Rayearth, and Tenchi Muyo.

This is a somewhat serious Sailor Moon video
based on the lovely Sailor Moon R movie. My idea
was to try to tell the story of the movie in under
4 minutes, hehe. The quality is astounding,
even in the low-quality version. It's probably
due to the fact that I used DVD clips. ^_^ I loved
this video. It just flows very well,
and I'm pleased with the final result! Thanks,

Length: 1:15

Completed: 1/8/01

This was my very first Sailor Moon music video.
:) I always disliked Mamoru. Thought he was a
stupid pansy. So when Seiya came along in Sailor
Stars and swept Usagi off her feet, I just couldn't
get enough of it! I then made a quickie music
video to the awkward relationship between Usagi
and Seiya.
The video basically revolves around Seiya's attempts
to make Usagi his. There's really only one part
in the video that I love: the music scene in the
beginning of the Three Lights playing, and the
trio moving to the music. I thought that was very
spiffy editing/timing on my part. Ahh, how easily
amused I was!
Sadly, Sailor Stars fansubs were used in the
creation of this video. Due to the bad video quality,
and abundance of subtitles to work around, I didn't
have much footage to work with. Therefore, I had
to cut the song down to 1:15. :P

Head on the heels of my Utena TV series is my
first music video based on the Utena Movie: Adolescence
Mokushiroku (hence the title of my video, "Adolscence
Apocolypse"). At this time in my life, my
obsession with all things Utena was at its highest.
I just couldn't get enough of this show! So I
decided to make a quickie music video using movie
footage to a sappy popular love song of the day.
I think I seriously whipped this thing up in 2-3
hours, because this thing is extremely unimpressive.
Like most newbie Utena movie AMVs, this fits
the standard very well. Story's about Utena and
Anthy... use the roses dance scene, use the big
car finale, open with a very "Bachelorette"
feel. Blah! So boring, it's just like all the
other Utena videos! As you can see, I don't like
this one very much, and I don't even remember
making it in the first place... :P

I made this music video using the 2-VCR method,
which is something I hadn't done since 1998. This
was one of two submissions for the first ver Shoujocon
music video contest back in 2000. However, they
did not accept this video because "even though
it's about girls, it doesn't use all shoujo anime."
Whatever. Hey, at least I can say due to this
video, they had to change the rules! Muwahaha,
so evil.
Anywho, I made this video oh a whim during my
summer vacation of 2000. I had made another video
and sent it to Shoujocon ("The Animal Song"
to Utena), but I didn't feel too confident about
it, so I made this "tribute to anime girls"
in addition to my other submission. I figured,
hey, this is a girls' convention, why not show
girl power? But I guess this video wasn't girly
enough for the con. :P
As a tribute video, this one doesn't have much
of a point to it. It shows cool shows of various
girls from a few series, looking hot/powerful/etc.
That's more or less.
Had I more time, I think this might have turned
out decently, because I think this is an overall
cute video. However, due to deadlines and bad
source footage, this one is kinda ugly. That,
and I made it using the two-VCR method.

Whoa, amazing, my first non-DBZ music video since
1998! Cool! Too bad this one is ultra-cheesy.
:P At this point in my life, I was *heavily* into
Gundam Wing (which amuses me to no end because
now I think that series is complete garbage).
In my original description for this video, I wrote:
"After being obsessed with the show for
merely 3 weeks, I figured it was time to make
a music vid for it. And this is the PERFECT song
for GW, too! It's so...spacey! This vid is more
or less an excuse for random mecha violence. =)"
God, I can't believe I was such a fan-girl newbie
even nearly 3 years ago!!! How much a body changes....
Like the above description says, this really is
a random action video, with a few bits of silly
timing and lip syncing attempts in it. However,
I did have some cute lyric matching going on,
such as:
* "Just strap on a suit and get inside"
/ Quatre looks longingly at his Gundam
* "cuz up in outer space there's no gravity
to fall" / Wu fei floating in anti-gravity
in a ship somewhere
So yeah, that's about it. Another random hunk
of junk made by me as a youngun. :D

This was my second attempt at making a music
video, using the 2-VCR method. And, this is also
my first music video to have something resembling
a story. It's mostly self-indulgent fun, since
the video featured, at the time, some of my main
leading men of anime blowing junk up and looking
hot. I plan on remaking this video some day, hopefully,
since I always liked it, and is stupid good fun.
Oh yeah, it's also my first try at lip syncing.
Scary!
The jokes in the video are all based off the
lyrics in the song. Janet Jackson singing about
nasty men, and the bad things they do. I tried
to fit scenes that would match what she was singing
about. I think I might have done this, but other
times, I just got lazy and added scenes of random
guys instead.
Anywho, this video features my favorite "bad
boys" of anime, like a LOT of Vegeta, some
Ranma 1/2 guys, the men from Fushigi Yuugi, Sailor
Moon villians, and more!
