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.

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.

OKAY YOU ARE TOTALLY FOR THE WIN, BABE.

That's it! And I tracked down the remix: it's Storm [TM Remix] off their first album. Then I finally found a site that streams full-length samples and took a listen. These guys are definitely going on my wishlist.

THANK YOU! Wah. Awesome awesome music.

Now that I think about it, isn't this like the third or fourth time I've found something I've liked and you've said, "oh, I think I have that." Just how big is your CD collection, and next time I visit can I have a day to do nothing but burn copies?
