Wow.
Wow.
Anyone on my friends list who's seen Princess Tutu, that most fabulously meta and literary of animes, YOU HAVE TO WATCH THIS MUSIC VIDEO.
It's 4 down from the top of the page, labeled "Hold Me Now". The song is in some kind of foreign language (German?---I looked it up. Swedish.), and...guh. It's not only the best PT video I've seen (there's very few), but it's one of the best videos I've seen period when it comes to timing/transition of character movement across the screen. The anime is about dance, the story is about dance, and this video is a dance. A crazy, dark, sordid dance that crosses pairings and characters and captures everything I loved so much about PT. Also? Spoilery like hell.
The site says it won "Best Action" and "Best in Show" at Anime Boston 2006 and "Best Free Form" at Fanime 2006. If I'd still lived in San Jose and gone to Fanime, I'd've voted for it.

donna_c_punk, if you've decided never to finish PT, watch this video. If there's even the tiniest sliver of hope in your heart that you might continue it later, then ignore this and when you've finished the show I'll find the link for you again.
EDIT: I watched it again. I still love it so much. And I'm amazed that anyone managed to make an award-winning action video out of Princess Tutu, which, while dark, is not usually what I'd call "action". "Interpretive Action" maybe. ;)

Date: 2006-05-31 01:51 am (UTC)IIRC, I have four whole series' I need to watch. Need to catch up with the episodes on .... three. I'm content to wait until Noein and Jigoku Shoujo are completed as fansubs, though. I get so lost whenever I watch Noein then wait three weeks for a new ep.
