I first watched this music video late at night on MTV and it felt like I had been parachuted into a foreign territory without a map. It felt like a vision of the future beyond my imagination, a future filled with nostalgia for a past I had never experienced, a nostalgia for a future that would never happen. A mourning for a lost future.
Same. That means you watched it on the MTV block called “Amp” just like I did. That was a great spot to get introduced to the genre known as Electronica
Ich weiß nicht wie lange und wie oft ich nach dieses Video gesucht habe aber es hat sich gelohnt und ich würde auf jedem Fall einen Anime bezüglich dieser Story sehen. Das ist ein Meisterwerk
I grew up on a farm, raised by fundamentalists. Then I went to college in a big city. Everything in the normal world was so freakishly weird and chaotic to me. My personality fragmented, but no one else seemed bewildered by the world we were living in. But then, late at night, this video appeared on the screen. And it showed me what I felt like, right there, clear as neon in the night. For the first time in years I did not feel alone.
Definitely revolutionary for 1995. In the audio and visual department on a whole new level! I remember watching this when I was a kid and I was totally blown away. This whole package is still a beast! But what do you expect from Katsuhiro Otomo, who also drew "Akira". :) Edit: but this one was directed by Koji Morimoto. My bad.
it's from Madhouse or maybe Studio 4°C studio but this clip of Ken Ishii is directed by Koji Morimoto, with Otomo and Kawajiri it was one of the finest anime director from the last decade before the millenium.
ever since I first saw this video, I have been absolutely in love with the animation at 3:12... the shadows dancing all over his face, the lights reflected in his goggles... I know it's only a few seconds long, but it really is an incredibly detailed scene! makes for an awesome animated gif, too :)
Same here. It got me from the first moment and never let me go. Sometimes I don't watch it for years and then I remember that stomping beat coming up in me together with the child on the tricycle holding the knife and just have to watch it again. It's a piece of art from a new century.
Highlights of this animation is that incorporating 3DCG Perth and digital coloring in 1995. I want to also note that even human skeletal movements are made skillfully reproduced in Japan own animation.
When I found this at 11 or 12 I didn't know what the f I was watching but I just I relented and enjoyed it, getting addicted to the tune. Since then I been finding out the amazing references and reverences that this animation makes to anime and cyberpunk culture.
I just got done calling a friend for seven and a half hours straight all night and we watched this music video together. I immediately fell in love with this and I will never forget the night I spent with them :3 if you're reading this Blair, I love you bestie!! ~^
I wish this was something like a movie or a series. There's just so much more I wanted to see and know. Actually, I always thought this took place in the lain universe or something.
I watched a really good anime that had a theme similar to this but It’s been ages since I saw it and I can’t remember what it’s called :(( Update: I found the movie! :D It’s called metropolis and it’s not exactly like the video but some parts are similar and it’s a great movie :))
i discovered this video on a niche anime website way back in 2001. 20 years ago. to this day, both this song and video still give me chills whenever i watch it. jelly tones is definitely one of the best techno albums of all time.
I remember seeing a 10 second clip of this on MTV in like 1998? Some show about special effects in music videos where they would show clips of videos by Bjork and Squarepusher and other artists that weren't "mainstream" enough for MTV
Thank you so much Masashi Kishimoto for steering me to this video and scaring the crap out of me. *finger guns* (vol. 18 of Naruto he talks about the animation of this video)
This, for me at least, is without a doubt the coolest animated music video I've ever seen. This is like, the primary reason why animation and music videos just go hand in hand... I would give anything for this to be a show. I really want to know more about these characters, the location and everything. From what I can get out of it, it seems to be the story of a guy playing a VR game, and Goggles man is his persona (after the kid). There's so much that could be explored here, like, 1. Who are all of these people? 2. Is Goggles man finding Steam man's gang to fight? Or is he a lone wolf, associating with them to tell them something bigger is coming their way? 3. What is this city? Is it always full of danger? I really dig the character designs especially, I really haven't seen anything like it. Goggles man and Steam man, along with the Robot Mother are fantastic. Well, at least I can dream about what that show would be like...
The animation is like a combination of Ghost in the Shell and Akira where "Googles man" is reminiscent of the main protagonist in Akira. Also the part where Googles man falls off the structure seems to be a reference to a particular scene in Ghost in the Shell. It is featured in a similiar music video called Wamdue Project - King of my Castle. I saw this and Extra on MTV when I was a kid and it was mind blowing.
Yeah I picked up on that, it makes enough sense Akira wise, since Koji Morimoto was the animation director for the project. I know that scene in GITS and yeah I think it is pretty similar to that. I unfortunately didn't see this greatness as a kid, but rather last year. Still, I'm 20 and it's fantastic. Morimoto always makes sure that his distinct style makes it in all his work... If there were ever a time for fan animation to try and expand on this greatness, this would be it. Maybe I'll try and tackle that, I mean I'm in college now to be an animator, so why not...
Similar anime i can think of in terms of art style and atmosphere (sort of) are Mind Game, Tekkonkinreet, Angel's Egg, Serial Experiements lain and my personal favourite Texhnolyze
maybe its not meant to be all explored and explained, leave room for interpretation. the questionmarks make it an "appealing" yet for me a terryfing vision. just enough shown to let you tell yourself a story to it
Masashi Kishimoto was a huge fan of this AMV at the time and could watch it all day. Maybe his taste for creepy puppets (and creepy stuff in general) comes from this...
I was just reading about this song in a Naruto manga I'm reading. Masashi Kishamoto was talking about how one of his favourite animators Koji Morimoto worked on some of the animation in the video.
See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denn%C5%8D_Senshi_Porygon It's the name of a Pokémon, whose episode in the Pokémon anime in Japan contained a few seconds of rapid blue and red strobe lights, and hospitalised hundreds of kids with photosensitive epilepsy.

Definitely revolutionary for 1995. In the audio and visual department on a whole new level!
I remember watching this when I was a kid and I was totally blown away.
This whole package is still a beast!
But what do you expect from Katsuhiro Otomo, who also drew "Akira". :)
Edit: but this one was directed by Koji Morimoto. My bad.
it's from Madhouse or maybe Studio 4°C studio but this clip of Ken Ishii is directed by Koji Morimoto, with Otomo and Kawajiri it was one of the finest anime director from the last decade before the millenium.
@@Meteotrance true dat!
Otomo is nothing to do with the video. Just an FYI
@@rngmstrs You are right.
It is Koji Morimoto who was also the director of the Akira movie. Meteotrance just stated that before. My bad!

You can really tell this is pre-Porygon (which was in 1997; this was in 1995). A lot of photosensitive epilepsy seizure-inducing flashing in this.
Yeah, and I'm paranoid about getting strobe sickness, so unfortunately there was a fair bit of this I had to skip.
what is Porygon?
See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denn%C5%8D_Senshi_Porygon
It's the name of a Pokémon, whose episode in the Pokémon anime in Japan contained a few seconds of rapid blue and red strobe lights, and hospitalised hundreds of kids with photosensitive epilepsy.
Since then TV and such have been much more careful about strobe lighting.
Andrea 💜 people with seizures have ruined special effects :(((
Better the rest of us lose out somewhat than kids get seizures and sent to hospital.
