Welcome to our humble Anime Music Video page! At this point, I believe that all of our videos are in .mpg format, with few exceptions (see below). You can find all but a few of them at animemusicvideos.org (their amv.org profiles are accessible by clicking on each entry below, or you can go to our individual creator profiles: Starherd and Kasra. Those that aren't on amv.org either aren't premiered yet, or (bandwidth willing) can be found here. If you are unable to download the videos via animemusicvideos.org, and would prefer them to be sent to you on cd, we can do that, too. Just use this email form to send us your name and physical address. If you'd like to send a little money for shipping (heartily encouraged but not required), just say so, and we can tell you where to send it. :-)

Also, thanks to boiya of Kyou's Dojo, at least our Possession and Sleep Now videos are available on her FTP server (24.99.24.45, L/P: kyou/kyou, port 21). To download, right-click (on a PC) or hold down the "option" key while clicking (on a Mac) on the "download" link beneath the image of the video(s) available here, or follow links to animemusicvideos.org for the videos hosted there. Beware - some of these videos are full of spoilers (they're marked as necessary). And now, On to the Videos... [Disclaimer]

Title: Geranium Lament Anime: Trigun Music: Losing My Religion (REM) Category: Drama/Character Study Spoilers! Notes: Our very, very first video. Took about four months or more, learning iMovie in the process. The song just unexpectedly sat up and presented itself... Centers on Vash's relationships. Currently being re-made as "Lament", and will be posted on amv.org then. Not Premiered Made with iMovie

[Animemusicvideos.org Profile - go there to download!]	Title: Sleep Now Anime: Yami no Matsuei Music: Sleep Now (Hughes Hall, Dark City Soundtrack) Category: Action/Occult/Teaser Notes: Our second video ever. Woohoo. Made as a sort of trailer for Yami no Matsuei/Descendants of Darkness - We're told that it's great for getting people interested in the show. :-) Premiered at Yaoi Con 2002 Winner - Judge's Award, Best Technical Made with iMovie Unexpectedly, this video has been totally remastered using the CPM (domestic release) DVDs, and a shot or two has been changed (though the main difference is just video quality). However, this remastered version can't be posted to amv.org until this old one can be deleted, and as far as I know, we can't do that yet. We'll post here when we can. (Not enough room to host the remaster here.)
[Currently Unavailable]	Title: Yaoi Busters Anime: Yami no Matsuei Music: Ghostbusters (Ray Parker Jr.) Category: Comedy Notes: Our third video, and first attempt at comedy. Chickens with beer are funny, right? Premiered at Yaoi Con 2002 Made with iMovie
[Animemusicvideos.org Profile - go there to download!]	Title: Possession Anime: Yami no Matsuei Music: Possession (Sarah McLachlan, Fumbling Toward Ecstasy; Piano Version, hidden track. Also on the Due South soundtrack.) Category: Drama Spoilers! Notes: Our fourth video. Focuses on a different character in each verse. Aaaaaaaangst. Premiered at Yaoi Con 2002 Winner - Judge's Award, Artistic Runner Up; Audience Awards, Best Drama & Audience Favorite Made with iMovie Untrue_Accounts has written a really wonderful review of this video, which can be found here.

Note: We used Hong Kong DVDs for our Yami no Matsuei footage

in these three videos (see above note about Sleep Now).

Yami no Matsuei (known as Descendants of Darkness here) has

been released in the U.S. by Central Park Media (CPM).

You should buy it.

...Even though the dub is hysterically funny when you're used to the

Japanese voices. I mean, Muraki sounds like the Brain. *lol*

Title: Read Another Day Anime: Read or Die (OAV) Music: Die Another Day (Madonna) Category: Action/Adventure Spoilers! Notes: The Fifth Video. It only took me about halfway through hearing this song to figure out what to do with it. :-) With Kasra's help, I did some overlay with Premiere - my first try with that program. This sortof summarizes the 3-episode OAV... and was a lot of fun to make! Premiered: Fanime 2003 Made with iMovie, with finishing in Premiere Lightfeather on Animemusicvideos.org also combined this anime and song (see here). When I first saw the movie (and heard the song), and checked on amv.org to see if someone was doing it already, her entry was there, but had been there unchanged so long that I thought that the project was defunct, so I went ahead anyway. Turns out we both made and finished concurrently, and we both entered the Fanime 2003 contest! (Neither of us won, but hey, it was fun!)

Title: A Killer Smile Anime: Weiss Kreuz Music: Disarm (Smashing Pumpkins) Category: Drama/Character Profile Spoilers! Notes: The Sixth Video, and Kasra's first! She says: Poor, poor Omi... The song was just too perfect for our favorite angsty little assassin. The main challenge lay in finding enough good animation to make a decent- looking AMV without resorting to the really crappy outsourced stuff rife in most of the series. We like to think it was a success :-) This video was made over a period of about 4 months. It seems to be the average learning curve for a new video editing program. Premiered: Fanime 2003 Made in Adobe Premiere 6.5 Want to read about this video being plagiarized? Give us a bit...

Title: Dark Fantasy Anime: Final Fantasy VII (game) Music: Dark (Gary Numan, Dark City Soundtrack) Category: drama/character profile Spoilers! Notes: The Seventh Video. I, Starherd, adore Final Fantasy VII... so it was only a matter of time before I started to try to make videos with it. As it is, I love the way this has come out. It was quick and easy, comparatively - I already had the song (which I also love) memorized, and I'd had the idea in mind for a long time. The hard part was getting a decent quality copy encoded... *sigh* ...oh yeah... it works as a character profile, sortof, if you take the lyrics as being from Sephiroth's point of view. No, I'm not biased or anything... Mmmm, Sephiroth. Not Premiered Made w/iMovie, finished w/Premiere

Title: Coming Home Anime: Weiss Kreuz (Knight Hunters), Weiss Kreuz OAVs, Weiss Kreuz Gluhen (Knight Hunters Eternity) Music: Return (Coming Home) (the Cruxshadows) Category: Action/Drama/Serious WK Gluhen Spoilers! Notes: The Eighth Video, Kasra's 2nd. Plotbunny to Video in only two weeks. :-D It's a Ken x Omi video, dedicated to the KenxOmiML and the kemi_koi communty of livejournal. The song is by one of our favorite goth bands (see Cruxshadows.com). Premiered: YaoiCon 2003 Made in Adobe Premiere 6.5

Title: Mirages Anime: Mirage of Blaze Music: Teotihuacan (Noel Gallagher, X-Files Movie Album) Category: Drama/Action/Occult Notes: The ninth video! Just as Sleep Now is an ad for YnM, this is an ad for Mirage of Blaze. :-) Premiered: YaoiCon 2003 Made in iMovie, finished in Adobe Premiere 6.5

Title: Descent Anime: Yami no Matsuei (Descendants of Darkness) Music: Gravity of Love (Enigma) Category: Character Profile/Drama/ Romance/Serious Spoilers! Notes: The tenth video, but one which had been waiting to be made since the second video. Yep, it's Yet Another YnM Video from WTF! It's all about Tsuzuki's dark side and Muraki using it to seduce him. Just think of it as being sung by Muraki. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaangst, I say. Premiered: YaoiCon 2003 Made in iMovie, finished in Adobe Premiere 6.5

Title: Winter Born Anime: Weiss Kreuz Gluhen (Knight Hunters Eternity) Music: Winter Born (This Sacrifice) (by the Cruxshadows) Category: Character Profile/ Action/Serious Spoilers! Notes: The eleventh video, Kasra's third. A Gluhen video dedicated to Kyou and Sena, the two new (and generally neglected) members of Weiss. Premiered: December 2003 Made in Premiere 6.5

Title: Irish Enchilada Anime: Weiss Kreuz (Knight Hunters) Music(?): Irish Enchilada (Ricker) Category: Comedy Notes: The twelfth video, and the second attempt at comedy. It arose from the thought that Farfarello (with his white hair and narrow yellow eye(s)) is just about as Irish as Irish Enchilada (a radio sketch by a sometimes-local DJ). That, and the thought that there need to be more Farf/Omi videos. Premiered: KatsuCon 2004 Made in iMovie, finished in Premiere For more information on Ricker, go to Rickerlive.com.

And as a special guest star...

Title: Let This Be the End of Evangelion Anime: Neon Genesis Evangelion, End of Evangelion Music: What is Love? (Haddaway) Category: Comedy/Parody Notes: The first (and so far, only) video of C & C Productions (the husbands of Starherd and Kasra). It's the only Eva video you'll ever need. (Except for that Engel video, it rocks.) Premiered: Katsucon 2004 Made in Adobe Premiere 6.5
