Watched this at Anime Expo. People were losing their shit and got the biggest applause. Such an amazing AMV that capture the beauty and magic of anime over the decades.
@@mewpudding138 th-cam.com/video/JhMuxTsvhx8/w-d-xo.html I am very very late, but in case you never saw it, here's a recording of when it played at Anime Expo 2017. Love this so much.
Okay, I shamelessly cried through most of this and walked out of the masquerade crying - met with some friends, still crying, and went to say bye to some of the masquerade staff - and one of the hosts had to hug me because I just could not stop crying. (Gatchaman was where I lost it - at the masquerade I mistakenly remembered it as Jun but now that I watch it again I realize she's not there lol). This is an exquisite and just breathtaking homage to a medium that defies genre, language and time. You went above and beyond the "retro" theme to encompass a timeline of stories that have meant so much to so many people over the years. Thank you. Your wins were so well deserved, and you were certainly a highlight of my Anime Boston.
okay multiple things i'd like to address. 1.) you're awesome. 2.) you've seen/know the old gatchaman which makes you x2 awesome in my book. QwQ I cried as well. I didn't know I was going to get these awards. So when everything came up I was crying up in the balcony at AB with my friend and boyfriend hugging me as I just heard people cheer for their favorite shows. The highlight of my con wasn't the awards. It was fans of anime like you and many others who seen shows in various ages or just in one age. You guys highlighted my Anime Boston by just enjoying my vid.
Hahaha - thank you! I mean, I wasn't born in the 70s, but I enjoy old Tatsunoko anime very much. (I believe there would be no Team Rocket were it not for all the Time Bokan series!!) Part of what made it so magic was sitting in the audience cheering over and over as each beloved title came up. You could hear where 'your crowd' was. So many stories were represented and right there in real time we all reacted to them. I could not have asked for a better experience at the masquerade - for us all to be engaged right there cheering for what we loved - all thanks to your amv. Thank you.
Maggie Grace same, the moment was absolutely magical and i don’t think i’ll ever forget it. soul eater i think was what pushed me over the brink into sobbing as it’s very sentimental to me and an all-time favorite. if it weren’t for soul eater, i wouldn’t have met my best friend who i watched this amv with during the ab masquerade when it won, and if weren’t for him i might not even be alive today so. it meant sooo much to me. just such a powerful moment
As someone who wrote a research paper on the history of anime this blew my mind. You got all the major ones including the mothership Astro Boy to the 90s favorites (ah CLAMP how I adore you so) to the current ones! I could literally count the time eras yet the way it's edited made it so the different art styles did not clash at all. Well done. (I'm now wishing I could've put this in my powerpoint.)
LeafianAvenger oooo a research paper up my alley. Indeed, I was worried about art styles but that's what anime is, just different styles, stories, emotions, etc. :) I'm happy how the video turned out.
This was the most poignant love letter to anime, and I cried a bit seeing this at the AMV contest. Congratulations, your awards were deserved several times over. Thanks for making it so clear why we love anime.
This was beyond amazing! It's my new favorite AMV. Congrats on the very well deserved awards. I may have won Best drama but this video gave me all the feels!
hamstar138 Daw, thanks! I came back to this video to reply but then the video started playing and I couldn't stop watching it again till it was done, haha. Seriously, fantastic job!
After I showed this to my Film as Lit teacher he showed it to the class when we were learning about animation outside of Disney and the USA. It's a great work that shows the changes and development of anime so well. Thanks for making it.
I saw this as it was announced for Best In Show at Sakura-con 2017, I remember holding back tears as I was watching outside the doors on my tip-toes. Glad I'm home now so I can cry all I want. I lost it in the 90s. Card Captors, Pokemon, Hamtaro, InuYasha...
After hearing of Avicii's passing this morning, I knew I had to dig this gem of an AMV up in honor of him. I saw your video at the AX'17 closing ceremonies for the first time, and I remember the amazing crowd reactions to everyone's favorite shows, including the chills I got from experiencing that moment. Just want to say thank you for making such an amazing AMV. Avicii's music has impacted me in such a positive way over the years, and I'm really happy with how you put it all together here. Looking back, this is a pretty awesome way to remember/pay tribute to him.
Pokemon, Yugioh, Cardcaptor Sakura, , Sailor Moon, Gash Bell, these were my introductions to anime before I even knew what anime was. So many more shows to watch from the past and in the current era. People say anime reaches for the sky. But that implies it has a limit.
This was my personal favorite that I selected at this year's competition at Anime Expo last night. It not only provided nostalgia of old school anime, but how much they transcended time when you look back on any of these titles. The choice of song also provided a splendid accompaniment. Gives the feeling we've traveled through various universes and encountered these unique characters that shaped our childhood, teen, and even adulthood. THIS should have been the TRUE opening ceremony video last year of AX's 25th anniversary, but then again it wouldn't make sense entirely because some of these shows came out before 1991 (the year AX began). Anyway, you have my utmost gratitude on your edits (all coming from a fellow AMV editor). Loved it.
Dennysar Rex it's the nostalgia man, whenever people saw their favorite childhood shows they couldn't help but cheer, everyone sitting around me agreed this deserved every award it won
Seeing this during the winners announcements at MTAC 2017 is one of my fondest convention memories ever. The whole auditorium was moved to cheers during it. Fantastic.
This made me cry, it was wonderful. I was born in the early 80s but I didn't really start watching anime until the mid 90s when my the boyfriend/best friend introduced me to Ranma 1/2 and Tenchi Muyo. We'd spend most of our dates watching anime. This brings back a lot of wonderful memories.
This video made me tear up when I saw it at the closing ceremony at Anime Boston. Easily one of the most beautiful AMVs I've ever watched. It makes you realize that time goes by so fast.
I cried watching this during the closing ceremony at Anime Expo and I'm crying again rewatching it! I can't imagine all the work you must have put into it with the countless scenes and transitions but this is honestly one of the best things I've seen and thank you for sharing your work!
This one was truly the best. The crowd screaming at their favorite anime when it showed up. I think I lost my voice by the time it was over lol. By far the best and very nostalgic.
I voted the shit out of this video at AB2017 this past weekend, I was watching eagerly to see if it had won, in the Other category in which it was placed, during the Masquerade and was initially incensed when it didn't. And then three awards blazed across the screen without a video playing between. I'm so happy for you, you did an amazing job and this video embodies how I find myself thinking about a lot of things lately: looking back at the history; how far we've come. Thank you for making this.
QwQ awwww thank you. I tend to do that a lot myself when it comes to anime or animation in general. It's one of the subjects that most friends can't keep me quiet about since I love it so much. ^_^;;
Not to dote too much :P But my friend and I just turned to each other during the show and said "Well that's getting best editing." --I loved all the transitions, they felt so natural: The Baccano to Death Note transition, the jet stream into Attack on Titan transition, completely ignoring all the film reel portions! the funny ones Azumanga > PoT, Keijo > Free...ugh I could go on, but I'll stop; you know, you made it. xD
Oh friend!! You don't know how I feel right now. You made me cry a river. This mv has a huge part of my childhood ..is just wonderful. Thank u so much for sharing your work with us. pd: Congrats on the win :) Greetings from Peru.
I first saw this last year at anime convention, I don't think any AMV will ever be able to top this, this makes me teary eyed every time and captures everything I know and love about anime
still the best amv i have ever seen. i was lucky enough to be at anime boston and watch it win best in show. 1000% deserved. i remember no one knew what was happening at first but as time went on we realized it was showing anime through the years. i remember audience members cheering when their favorite shows popped up. i remember bursting into tears when some of my favorites came up because it was so powerful. my best friend and i held each other and cried and whenever this song comes on i still think of him and this amv and i always show it to my closest friends who like anime. this is just amazing and like. no words for how much this video has made me feel.
I cannot even begin to describe the amazing nostalgia trip this just took me on. So many wonderful memories and emotions. This has got to be the best AMV I've ever experienced. Thank you for creating this. Your love for anime explodes throughout and I can't thank you enough for sharing this with the world
Oh man seeing this AMV was amazing. Each time an anime passed by on screen, cheers errupted. I was so glad that I saw Wolf's Rain since I swear it's not as well known. You did an amazing job on this AMV. Congratz on all the awards!!
Totally deserved the win at Sakura con! Brought back a lot of memories, and knowing that it was one of these that introduced each of us into the world of anime is amazing! Great job!!!
Just saw this today at the Sakura-Con closing ceremony, and got more feels than I know what to do with. Hit literally every anime I watched when I was a kid. Very well done!
I grew up with some of these animes, It taught me valuable lessons. Not to give up, that you work for your worth, friends will be there for you, noones born into strong and never underestimate anyone. Anime wasn’t a mistake
I saw this at the AB closing ceremony and instantly fell in love and immediately tried to find it on TH-cam. thank you so much for reminding us all about the shows that made us first fall in love with anime. it was such a great scene to hear the audience cheer whenever recognizable shows appeared on screen! ^_^
What a brilliant amv. I was watching the audience reaction video for this and when all 3 of those awards came up at the start I honestly didn't think the video could live up to that. But man were my expectations wrong. Your amv swept me away and then kept me going for a wonderful ride through the years of anime. It was awe-inspiring and for sure earned the spots it took on the podium. In other words, Great Job!
MikeTheAnimeRunnerX2 thank you. I was just as surprised when I found out at the Masqurade. It's an honor to receive these awards. I'm happy I met your expectation. :)
I vote this at Anime Boston 2017 and at Anime expo 2017, this was the best amv compilation I have ever seen. Keep up the good work and I hope to see you again for the next amv for Anime Boston 2018.
Thank you for making Astro Boy first. Gosh, I just almost got teary when I first saw him. I don't remember any of the scenes or episodes anymore, but I can still remember how it makes me feel. The Rose of Versailles, Yu Yu Hakusho, Dragon Ball, Ranma 1/2, Hello Kitty, Sailor Moon (obviously), Magic Knight Rayearth, Fushigi Yuugi, Trigun, Cardcaptor Sakura, Hunter X Hunter, Case Closed, Rurouni Kenshin, Inuyasha, Fruit Basket (I can't believe you actually included this! Nobody in my country ever talks about this great anime), Naruto, Code Geass. Those are the list of anime that I enjoyed the most and I truly, really appreciate your efforts in making this video. I stopped watching anime after being disappointed with Nabari No Ou anime ending and realised that studios are pushing the anime forward before the manga finished so the anime doesn't have the same story depth with the manga. I also stopped watching anime after I found the pattern of their voice rythhm because I was bored of listening to it. But I still update on what anime is hyped so I know some of the most recent ones. Anyways, forgive my blabbering and thank you. It was a really great journey and I can say that even though the quality of anime isn't the same as it was, I can still appreciate the fact that it makes my childhood worth living. I wouldn't have love colors and expressions without anime. Again, thank you.
I'm so friggin happy (actually beyond happy) this won the people's choice at AX this year; it was so well put together and it truly captured the amazing timeline of Anime! (EASILY MY FAVORITE AMV TO DATE)
Great video! Very nostalgic. Found so many series I have watched as a kid, a teenager, an adult... until now. It is amazing how the times have changed, how animation got fantastic and how special effects allowed to change the way magic, speed, power, emotions and more is shown in anime. You captured that really good. Just like you I was hooked on to anime before I even knew what that was, witnessed all these changes, and now I thank you for the lovely reminder of times passed and more to come.
It was great when Todd Haberkorn (and some other guy) persented this on the big screen during the Anime Expo Closing Ceremony. You could tell which anime were the most popular buy which characters got the most cheers in the crowd. Congratulations on your victories!
Congrats on the well deserved win! This got me right in the feels! I've personally watched 95-98% of the anime featured. It was like watching my entire life of anime fandom flash before my eyes. Well done!
I showed this to my mom a while ago and she got really excited about Gigantor cause she hadn't seen anything about it since she was a little kid. So thanks for that moment of simple happiness it gave her. Also congrats on the engagement. I was in the audience this year. That proposal was really cool.
Same experience here via your description, this video is so beautiful and a perfect way to pay respect to anime itself. So well done, I watch it over and over again! Brings back so many memories ;_;
This video is absolutely beautiful. The editing towards the ending in particular is absolutely stunning, and just seeing all these anime that have made an impact over the years and how many people were wildly cheering for almost every single shot, it brought a tear to my eye. I'm honored to have seen this in the big screen at Anime Boston. Astounding work, dude.
So I’m so glad I found this. This AMV was the first AMV I saw at my first Anime Convention and I have practically seen most of the Anime that you put in here. It was such an emotional ride especially to see how Anime has evolved from my grandparents generation until now. I’m so glad I was running late and this was what I got to see first. Thanks for making my first anime convention very memorable at MTAC
Thank you so unbelievably much for making this. It moved me to tears. Congratulations on winning best in show and most romantic/sentimental in the Animethon AMV contest. I was really hoping you would. You more than earned it. :)
I love this! Made me feel intensely nostalgic and... proud? I braced myself at the start because I could tell I was in for something good, and the transitions between all of these beloved shows that have kind of shaped me my whole life, was very moving. This is why I love AMVs, to make me feel excited about anime - they're like a small but highly concentrated dose of fandom energy, haha
Welp. Add audience's choice by Anime Expo 2017. Very well done. XD I'm also very happy you put Tri-gun in at 2:30 ah there's so many I've seen!!! I love it.
This might be the best AMV I have ever seen. Technically it's amazing with the editing and everything, but more than that is the emotion, how it stays true to the theme, how the composition of the clips serves to tell you how timeless anime really is. As someone who had recently turned forty, seeing this back at Sakura-Con earlier this year was like a giant neon billboard telling me that no, in fact I am NOT too old for anime and never will be. So thank you so much!
Saw this at AX 2017, back again because it's still the best AMV I've seen since then. Good job! I always have to watch it twice through because once isn't enough!
We had a little anime event in small-town Japan a few years back and I ran a mini AMV showcase and showed them this. Seeing the delight in the eyes of Japanese of all ages really confirmed to me just how universal and Timeless this really is. (Though a few people were confused about some of the anime that was popular overseas but not in Japan, like Samurai Pizza Cats). That said part of me wants more in ~3 years. ;)
I'm so glad they liked it. I always find it interesting what Japan is a huge fan of vs the US. Things I know like Trigun and Cowboy Beepbop is bigger in the US vs Japan
I love how much of a time line this is. I didn't notice it at first viewing but you can see the decades. Like the transitions are beautiful! How subtle they are, some newer fans won't see or notice them but the ones who have been watching for so many years will see them. Excellent, excellent job!
Ahh, anime...literally ANY type of story you can tell can be expressed through animation, sometimes nailing you right in the feels like Angel Beats or Clannad After Story did for me. Sometimes hopeful or sometimes despairing, and many times a silly, fun mirror held up to every day life like Azumanga Daioh or Nichijou. Worlds where men can fall in love with goddesses, or suddenly find your house filled with half-animal demihumans who are ALL chasing after you, a la Monster Musume. Keep it up, Japan.

That moment when it hits where you got into anime is pure magic.
100%!!
Watched this at Anime Expo. People were losing their shit and got the biggest applause. Such an amazing AMV that capture the beauty and magic of anime over the decades.
*A*!!! dang! I wish I could of seen/hear it.

The perfect AMV doesn’t exi…
This was beyond amazing! It's my new favorite AMV. Congrats on the very well deserved awards. I may have won Best drama but this video gave me all the feels!
Drabaz Doug DUDE! I loved your video!! It gave me so many feels for DBZ. Great job on winning Drama.
hamstar138 Daw, thanks! I came back to this video to reply but then the video started playing and I couldn't stop watching it again till it was done, haha. Seriously, fantastic job!
I find myself doing that with your vid. XD Also to you again. Great job.
You both made me cry with your videos. Thank you SO much.
link to your vid?
when i say i strarted crying due to how amazing it is and how it was a big old bullet of nostalgia that went right to my heart
So glad I got to watch this live. It was my very first convention, and this was the cherry on top of the day.
After I showed this to my Film as Lit teacher he showed it to the class when we were learning about animation outside of Disney and the USA. It's a great work that shows the changes and development of anime so well. Thanks for making it.
I saw this as it was announced for Best In Show at Sakura-con 2017, I remember holding back tears as I was watching outside the doors on my tip-toes.
Glad I'm home now so I can cry all I want.
I lost it in the 90s. Card Captors, Pokemon, Hamtaro, InuYasha...
Hey Creator, I still think about this AMV so much, and I show it to every person I meet who loves anime in such a same nostalgic way. Thank you!
This is ABSOLUTELY one of my all time favorite AMV's. I am SO HAPPY you won several awards for this at Anime Boston. :)
Thank you so much for that. I honestly enjoyed the reaction from everyone. :) Also awww. QwQ i'm happy it's one of your favorites.
@Wolfman12395 Whatever happened to that channel?
After hearing of Avicii's passing this morning, I knew I had to dig this gem of an AMV up in honor of him. I saw your video at the AX'17 closing ceremonies for the first time, and I remember the amazing crowd reactions to everyone's favorite shows, including the chills I got from experiencing that moment. Just want to say thank you for making such an amazing AMV. Avicii's music has impacted me in such a positive way over the years, and I'm really happy with how you put it all together here. Looking back, this is a pretty awesome way to remember/pay tribute to him.
i love this. this is just.... amazing
Anime boston had the biggest applause for winning three awards.
Pokemon, Yugioh, Cardcaptor Sakura, , Sailor Moon, Gash Bell, these were my introductions to anime before I even knew what anime was. So many more shows to watch from the past and in the current era.
People say anime reaches for the sky. But that implies it has a limit.
This was my personal favorite that I selected at this year's competition at Anime Expo last night.

every time I watch this, can´t stop getting the goosebumps... thank you for this piece of history
Incredible. For those that weren't there, this AMV drove the crowd wild, and a very well-deserved win!
Indeed it did my friend.
Dennysar Rex it's the nostalgia man, whenever people saw their favorite childhood shows they couldn't help but cheer, everyone sitting around me agreed this deserved every award it won
Seeing this during the winners announcements at MTAC 2017 is one of my fondest convention memories ever. The whole auditorium was moved to cheers during it. Fantastic.
This made me cry, it was wonderful. I was born in the early 80s but I didn't really start watching anime until the mid 90s when my the boyfriend/best friend introduced me to Ranma 1/2 and Tenchi Muyo. We'd spend most of our dates watching anime. This brings back a lot of wonderful memories.

This one was truly the best. The crowd screaming at their favorite anime when it showed up. I think I lost my voice by the time it was over lol. By far the best and very nostalgic.
I didn't know it was possible to feel nostalgia for anime I haven't even seen. Fantastic job!
Alyssa Carothers welp I'm happy the nostalgia feel was there. Though if one of those shows seemed interesting, you should totally try it out. ;)
Wow, 57 years and anime is still going strong. Congratulations on making this amazing trip down memory lane.
I voted the shit out of this video at AB2017 this past weekend, I was watching eagerly to see if it had won, in the Other category in which it was placed, during the Masquerade and was initially incensed when it didn't. And then three awards blazed across the screen without a video playing between.
I'm so happy for you, you did an amazing job and this video embodies how I find myself thinking about a lot of things lately: looking back at the history; how far we've come.
Thank you for making this.
QwQ awwww thank you. I tend to do that a lot myself when it comes to anime or animation in general. It's one of the subjects that most friends can't keep me quiet about since I love it so much. ^_^;;
Not to dote too much :P
But my friend and I just turned to each other during the show and said "Well that's getting best editing." --I loved all the transitions, they felt so natural: The Baccano to Death Note transition, the jet stream into Attack on Titan transition, completely ignoring all the film reel portions! the funny ones Azumanga > PoT, Keijo > Free...ugh I could go on, but I'll stop; you know, you made it. xD

SO glad to have been there to cheer along with all the rest of the audience. VERY well-deserved awards.
Jeez, my wife and I both started crying halfway into this AMV. Really amazing.
I first saw this last year at anime convention, I don't think any AMV will ever be able to top this, this makes me teary eyed every time and captures everything I know and love about anime
This is beyond amazing
One of the best AMVs I've ever seen. It captured the then and now-- my golden parts of my childhood. Thank you 💜

Great job!!!
The nostalgia is strong!!!
I love it!

Just saw this at the anime expo, was voted best amv by the audience and is well deserved
I vote this at Anime Boston 2017 and at Anime expo 2017, this was the best amv compilation I have ever seen. Keep up the good work and I hope to see you again for the next amv for Anime Boston 2018.
Thank you for making Astro Boy first.
Gosh, I just almost got teary when I first saw him.
I don't remember any of the scenes or episodes anymore, but I can still remember how it makes me feel.
The Rose of Versailles, Yu Yu Hakusho, Dragon Ball, Ranma 1/2, Hello Kitty, Sailor Moon (obviously), Magic Knight Rayearth, Fushigi Yuugi, Trigun, Cardcaptor Sakura, Hunter X Hunter, Case Closed, Rurouni Kenshin, Inuyasha, Fruit Basket (I can't believe you actually included this! Nobody in my country ever talks about this great anime), Naruto, Code Geass.
Those are the list of anime that I enjoyed the most and I truly, really appreciate your efforts in making this video.
I stopped watching anime after being disappointed with Nabari No Ou anime ending and realised that studios are pushing the anime forward before the manga finished so the anime doesn't have the same story depth with the manga.
I also stopped watching anime after I found the pattern of their voice rythhm because I was bored of listening to it.
But I still update on what anime is hyped so I know some of the most recent ones.
Anyways, forgive my blabbering and thank you.
It was a really great journey and I can say that even though the quality of anime isn't the same as it was, I can still appreciate the fact that it makes my childhood worth living.
I wouldn't have love colors and expressions without anime.
Again, thank you.
Even Wolf's Rain is here, I feel so recognized! This is amazing 😭
It made me cry... thank you for making this... This is must watch... ♥️♥️♥️😭
I'm so friggin happy (actually beyond happy) this won the people's choice at AX this year; it was so well put together and it truly captured the amazing timeline of Anime! (EASILY MY FAVORITE AMV TO DATE)
Great video! Very nostalgic. Found so many series I have watched as a kid, a teenager, an adult... until now. It is amazing how the times have changed, how animation got fantastic and how special effects allowed to change the way magic, speed, power, emotions and more is shown in anime.
You captured that really good.
Just like you I was hooked on to anime before I even knew what that was, witnessed all these changes, and now I thank you for the lovely reminder of times passed and more to come.
It was great when Todd Haberkorn (and some other guy) persented this on the big screen during the Anime Expo Closing Ceremony. You could tell which anime were the most popular buy which characters got the most cheers in the crowd.
Congratulations on your victories!
Thank you!! >W
Thx for including older anime too like Captain Harlock etc.
I just watched this today at Anime Expo Closing Ceremony. The crowd was cheering in excitement! Congratulations for winning best audience choice!
Thank you. ^_^
Congrats on the well deserved win! This got me right in the feels! I've personally watched 95-98% of the anime featured. It was like watching my entire life of anime fandom flash before my eyes. Well done!
I showed this to my mom a while ago and she got really excited about Gigantor cause she hadn't seen anything about it since she was a little kid. So thanks for that moment of simple happiness it gave her.
Also congrats on the engagement. I was in the audience this year. That proposal was really cool.
Same experience here via your description, this video is so beautiful and a perfect way to pay respect to anime itself. So well done, I watch it over and over again! Brings back so many memories ;_;
This video is absolutely beautiful. The editing towards the ending in particular is absolutely stunning, and just seeing all these anime that have made an impact over the years and how many people were wildly cheering for almost every single shot, it brought a tear to my eye. I'm honored to have seen this in the big screen at Anime Boston. Astounding work, dude.
Oh my gosh the nostalgia... I absolutely love this.
I salute you for having done this great tribute to the one thing that keeps me happy and sane in this crazy world. Thank you very much for this.
I come back to watch this every year lol
still my favorite amv of all time. gotta come back and watch it every now and then.
This made me cry...
Thank you very much for making this masterpiece work...
So happy to see a clip from Sea Prince and Fire Child!
You literally hit me with a feels train when i saw this at Anime Boston T-T and congrats on all the awards!
>w< thank you very much. 0w0;; I hope the feels train didn't hurt too badly.
This will never have nearly as many views as it deserves.
Thanks for uploading this and congrats on the multitude of awards you won at AB17
Thank you~
So I’m so glad I found this. This AMV was the first AMV I saw at my first Anime Convention and I have practically seen most of the Anime that you put in here. It was such an emotional ride especially to see how Anime has evolved from my grandparents generation until now. I’m so glad I was running late and this was what I got to see first. Thanks for making my first anime convention very memorable at MTAC
Hamstar, this AMV blew my mind. Please keep up the great work! This was amazing to see at Anime Boston!
Thank you~
This was one of the coolest amvs I've seen EVER thank you so much for this awesome look back
Oh man glad I found this amv, so many memories~ This was was amazing!
in the time of watching this video when I was at Anime Boston 2017 I was dropping tears really good job man
This is beautiful! Congrats on the AB awards!!
Just 5minute isn't enough .aahhhh... What a nostalgia
this amv won first for judge's choice and second for audience in 2017 otafest it was so hype when it was played, with many cheers
YAY! i'm happy people liked it. QwQ
This makes me cry every time I watch it
Thank you so unbelievably much for making this. It moved me to tears. Congratulations on winning best in show and most romantic/sentimental in the Animethon AMV contest. I was really hoping you would. You more than earned it. :)
QwQ awww thank you so much~
I'm actually so in love with this. I keep going back and watching it over and over
im glad they played this at mtac. now i cant stop watching it
I love this! Made me feel intensely nostalgic and... proud? I braced myself at the start because I could tell I was in for something good, and the transitions between all of these beloved shows that have kind of shaped me my whole life, was very moving. This is why I love AMVs, to make me feel excited about anime - they're like a small but highly concentrated dose of fandom energy, haha
Congrats on winning Best in Show at Sakura-con!!
Welp. Add audience's choice by Anime Expo 2017. Very well done. XD
I'm also very happy you put Tri-gun in at 2:30 ah there's so many I've seen!!! I love it.
Congrats
You won the audience pick at Anime Expo 2017
Of course the closing ceremony lead me to this AMV.
>w< thank you~ and yayyy
This might be the best AMV I have ever seen. Technically it's amazing with the editing and everything, but more than that is the emotion, how it stays true to the theme, how the composition of the clips serves to tell you how timeless anime really is. As someone who had recently turned forty, seeing this back at Sakura-Con earlier this year was like a giant neon billboard telling me that no, in fact I am NOT too old for anime and never will be. So thank you so much!
I remember screaming at the Cowboy Bebop part lmao. I loved this so much at the closing ceremony and I'm so happy I found it.
Thank you! Fantastic memories and goosebumps.
This is awesome, started watching anime at 10, born in 84. I have seen almost all of these series, and what a blast you captured here. Cheers.
I saw this at Youmacon and it blew me away! Thanks for sharing this beautiful tribute.
Saw this at AX 2017, back again because it's still the best AMV I've seen since then. Good job! I always have to watch it twice through because once isn't enough!
We had a little anime event in small-town Japan a few years back and I ran a mini AMV showcase and showed them this. Seeing the delight in the eyes of Japanese of all ages really confirmed to me just how universal and Timeless this really is. (Though a few people were confused about some of the anime that was popular overseas but not in Japan, like Samurai Pizza Cats).
That said part of me wants more in ~3 years. ;)
I'm so glad they liked it. I always find it interesting what Japan is a huge fan of vs the US. Things I know like Trigun and Cowboy Beepbop is bigger in the US vs Japan
Its times like these where some wonder. "Wow, that's us. We made these. Lets see what the next generation does..."
Im still moved every time I watch this. You made something truly amazing. I'm so proud of you. ❤
basharoftheages QwQ ❤️❤️thank you for all your help
I love how much of a time line this is. I didn't notice it at first viewing but you can see the decades. Like the transitions are beautiful! How subtle they are, some newer fans won't see or notice them but the ones who have been watching for so many years will see them. Excellent, excellent job!
Ahh, anime...literally ANY type of story you can tell can be expressed through animation, sometimes nailing you right in the feels like Angel Beats or Clannad After Story did for me. Sometimes hopeful or sometimes despairing, and many times a silly, fun mirror held up to every day life like Azumanga Daioh or Nichijou. Worlds where men can fall in love with goddesses, or suddenly find your house filled with half-animal demihumans who are ALL chasing after you, a la Monster Musume. Keep it up, Japan.
