New AMV! Did anyone order an extra strong dose of self-hatred and angst? Well Vanitas has it, whether you ordered it or not.

Mochizuki-sensei interview July 08

Hi there! It’s me again. There is a new interview with Mochizuki Jun about VNC, so I though it would be fun to share some untold background stories.

Mochizuki-sensei says that in the case of PandoraHearts, her fighting scenes were cut off firstly, because there were not so good, so she wanted to include and practice fight scenes in the new series. (Success) She wanted to draw an academy themed manga or a vampire one, when she visited Anime Expo in France and she got inspired. Also, she mentioned that as long as she remembers, ‘Interview with the vampire’ was the first vampire movie she was inpsired by. At first the concept was: Vanitas = Sherlock (vampire) Noe = Watson (human) But it was not interesting, it was too ordinary, so their position were changed and the concept greatly improved in a second, but that’s why Vanitas still has that sharpish high canine tooth. (I don’t know how they say in English :D) Also, someone said to her that Vanitas’ hair was weird so she cut it to bangs on the sides. Noe was supposed to be wearing glasses and he was the one with common sense. From Mochizuki-sensei’s perspective, Vanitas is someone who hates himself and a contrary person (we already knew that), Noe is an “outside adult, inside little girl” type.

Now there is an interesting part (for fans, it will be heartbreaking): Mochizuki-sensei mentioned that in PandoraHearts everyone who died accomplished a “rewarded death”, they got their spotlights and goals were completed, BUT in VNC she would like to draw death without reward or meaningless death as well. There was a question whether she has a plot in her head already, regarding the last scene of the first episode. Yes, where Noe has a monologue that he will kill Vanitas. She said that she has to decide beforehand a plot goal to be able to work on the manga, but it could be an ending or a turning point which the story has to pass by. So yeah, THAT scene can be a middle turning point as well.

Last, about the anime, she is looking forward to see the Roland fight scene to be animated. Ah, aaa, I forgot! Thanks to Hanae-san voice, Mochizuki-sensei remembered that Vanitas is only 18 years old. :D Noe became more sincere and more natural airhead thanks to Ishikawa-san’s voice.

The full interview is long, so I picked up only the main points. https://ddnavi.com/interview/808972/a/

I’m not used to write in English, so sorry in advance for the grammar mistakes.

After six years I’m making discussion videos again, this time talking about the ongoing Vanitas anime! Which I’m enjoying quite a bit so far.

New AMV! For those who like that sort of thing.

Made a character playlist for Oswald, and I think it turned out fairly well.

I wanted it to feel like it had an arc of sorts from beginning to end, so I structured it in three sections: grief (first three tracks), reflection (middle 4 tracks), and acceptance/resignation (last three tracks). There’s crossover in themes between the sections (e.g. Heart Like a Grave is absolutely about grief as well as reflection), but overall it should hopefully still feel like there’s a traceable arc through the playlist. The last track Prodigal Son functions as a summary/bookend too.

I also tried to keep it from getting repetitive, while still feeling cohesive. Each song should feel like it either covers a different aspect of Oswald, or covers a same aspect in a distinct way. For example, both Song for Jolee and The Raven that Refused to Sing are meant in reference to his grief about Lacie, but I feel like their executions differ enough while still having a similar tone - and, just to make sure, I spaced them apart with King of Loss. Which is meant to reference his feelings of frustration and hopelessness at the lack of control he’s had over his (and Lacie’s) life.

Aaaand I’ll leave the rest for anyone who wants to listen. Full disclosure, I’ve considered making Oswald MMVs with at least half of these songs before, so I really do feel they capture the soul of the character in scarily accurate ways at times.

Hope it works!
