2 x Naruto AMVs

[fahye]

This is largely for the benefit of deutscheami, but is also aimed to seduce ariastar and to generally show off a little bit of why this series has eaten my head of late.

These AMVs are both from before the Shippuuden series (read: before the plots accelerated and everyone grew up and things got really cool) but they manage to capture the atmosphere of the early

Skies on Fire: my love for that video knows no bounds. Mainly because it shows all the pretty shots - all the well-framed pictures, the lovely angles, the more graceful movements of the characters (roughly 70% of which involve jumping in front of the sun, but whatever).

But clearly I'm a little slow because: what juxtapositions? D:

sheer, sheer crack: PUT YOUR HAND DOWN MY PANTS AND I'LL BET YOU'LL FEEL NUTS.

well-put-together angsty Sasuke/Naruto: *bursts into tears on reflex*

On that first one there you may have been referring to Narutowned. If so, STFU. :P

I WAS, IN FACT, REFERRING TO NARUTOWNED. Fail, fail.

Oh, it's nothing huge, just things like the inclusion of Tsunade and Jiraiya at the very beginning, the way it plays with the three different Sharingan characters and uses the eye for transitions, Hinata throwing a punch overlaid onto Naruto throwing one too (directly after she quotes his catchphrase a self-motivator). And that's just in the first minute, I could probably find more.

I am currently trying to decide if my favourite shot is:

a) the Sasuke-Naruto fistbump JUST before the character profiles start
b) Sasuke's eyes widening/Itachi's eyes overlaid on it
c) the shot of Orochimaru and Itachi turning in synch at 2:33

All it needs to be utterly perfect is hospital roof fight footage. Although there will never be a more perfect backing music for Sasuke's hands moving across the ground than DUH DUH DUH-DUH-DUH (CAN'T TOUCH THIS).

OOPS. Sorry, sorry. Er. Go reread Listening Sky, at least it has outmaking.

*flail* But I have things, Fahye, things to do in life! I I guess this weekend I will ... start watching s4 Who, and probably get very depressed and then watch this instead? XD

[fahye]

Hmm. I'll recommend the same thing I did with Heidi, which is that you read the manga and then start watching at around episode 58. But she or I can guide you through the process :D

[deutscheami]

I am through... chapter 182 of the manga. And. HOLY CRAP TSUNADE SASUKE !!! CAN'T SENTENCE PROPERLY.

And now I need to figure out how to get my hands on the anime, because SHINY-- that first vid is amazing and my head sort of hurts thinking about how much work it was.

REAL NINJAS

In case you missed the madness the first time around.
