It works as an AMV (by my standards) which is above & beyond any basic artistic value: does it make me curious about the series/movie? In this case, definitely. Even if I hadn't already seen the series, I probably would want to, after seeing this.

[livejournal.com profile] cosplayeriori for the win! It's Yoshida Brothers' Storm [TM Remix].

Btw, if you're wondering about the series, it's called Mo No No Ke, which is a spin-off of Ayakashi Samurai Horror Tales: a combination of Japanese folklore/myth about demons, ghosts, a dose of mystery and a heaping of horror, put through a blender of neon-colored pop art posters, kabuki, cinematic homages to the Shining and Hill House, crammed into a visual of ukiyo-e meets Peter Max meets the cover of the Sgt Pepper album*... And for all that frenzy, at heart it's incredibly layered, subtle, and at times quite chilling.


*a description cobbled together when CP and I watched the first episode and tried to put our fingers on just what was so bizarre/familiar about the visuals.
