Update: I’m Done...with Tumblr

No, Tumblr hasn’t done anything wrong. But little to no one pays attention to my blog, I’ve reached the point where I feel it’s both useless and pointless to keep doing it, Tumblr feels like a dead site anyways (to me at least) and, most importantly, I just don’t feel like keeping on doing it anymore. So I’m done on Tumblr. Any and all updates will be short and sweet ones done via Twitter. Now since this is an update, job hunting isn’t getting any easier so I still haven’t had time to finalise any AMV’s. I’ve done enough on both the Kuroko and Haikyuu AMV’s that less than a days work should get them done, it’s just that time isn’t exactly on my side. Sorry to anyone who actually listens. :/

And with that, update over. Good bye Tumblr. It was fun. But it’s time to move forward.

(Quick note: I’m going to keep this account active solely for the Download links page.)

Update: Yeah, Yeah, I Know

To be completely honest, I’ve been on break for a while now. That’s why I still haven’t finished the KnB AMV. Also because every time I work my AMV’s, I prefer to work on the Haikyuu AMV (which is coming along nicely btw). The reason for the break is simple: I’m still sorting out where I’m going in life from here. Looking for jobs, whether to go into game making or just be a YouTuber or something. I don’t know. I’m not depressed or having family issues or anything. I’m just trying to make a living. So to anyone actually reading these and waiting, I sincerely apologise. I take my time because I feel that no one DOES pay attention or care. So, once again, I’ll release it when I can and, hopefully, sorting my life out doesn’t take too long and I can release an AMV soon.

Update: Happy New Year!

I know, I know. It’s the new year and I still haven’t released the Kuroko AMV when it’s so close to being done. I’ve been trying to sort out my life now I’m out of University and been feeling a bit under the weather lately. But hey, I did get SOMETHING done and out there. xD Not much of an update, I know, but I did say I’d make sure to have an update at least once per month even when there’s nothing new to report. Anyways, once my life is sorted, which will take some time (looking for work, etc.), I’ll put my nose back to the grind and work on the AMV’s some more.

My Hero Academia AMV - What Appears

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4EuyBe9hBc

Anime: My Hero Academia Song: What Appears by Yellowcard

SURPRISE! This has been a long time coming for me. Ever since I first fell in love with My Hero Academia after seeing the first season, I’ve honestly been listening to everything I have trying to find something that fits. (I have nearly 9,000 songs and doing this made me feel like it’s not enough…) Yeah, I’ve been wanting to do an MHA AMV for that long. So it’s no surprise that when I actually started this the other day I’d get it done so quickly. Not to mention I absolutely LOVE this song, despite not fitting well with MHA. Although, it honestly sounded like it fit better and better the longer I worked on it. So it’s been fun. And I haven’t been holding back, either. I’ve been trying to make it the best I possibly can. In the end, I feel I used too much of the first season, not enough special effects and that it could be better. But that’s just me striving for perfection. I’m honestly very happy with the outcome. Please enjoy! ^_^

Side Note:

I’m still working on the Kuroko AMV. As I said, I just wanted to get this one done ASAP. And after Kuroko, I have another 3 I’ve already begun to work on. Hence the list on the last update...and this wasn’t on said list because I only settled on doing this after I had already updated the list once with Shokugeki. ^_^;

Update: Wow...

(EDIT: Fixed a few errors and added another AMV that came to me while going through my songs.)

I type this up as I see my Toradora AMV has reached 300 likes on YouTube. It may not seem like a lot to many people/channels, but it’s a shit ton to me. (The most I’ve had before was only 20 likes on the first One Piece AMV.) My subscription count has also tripled thanks to the Toradora AMV. Don’t think I’m gloating. I’m saying this simply to say I’m absolutely blown away by the popularity of it and want to give a massive thank you to everyone who supported the AMV...even though pretty much no one pays attention to this. (I’m actually going to say this again within the description of the next AMV.)

Speaking of the next AMV, I’ve hardly done anything since my last update. I’ve had to do some extra work for Uni in order to pass this year (don’t ask -_-). But I did say I’d post updates at least once a month. So to update what’s happening and list the AMV’s I’m working on:

Fairy Tail AMV - I’m putting this one on hold for now. For one, it’s gonna take a lot of work to get it done. Second, I feel like I’m in no hurry to finish it since Fairy Tail isn’t that popular.

Kuroko no Basket AMV - This is the next one to come out. As I said, I’ve hardly done anything over the last month, but it is close to being done.

One Piece AMV - As I said in my last update, I discovered a new band and am using one of their songs to replace the song on another One Piece AMV I was planning. I’ve started it due to certain ideas, but I am holding off on it as the last AMV I released was my 2nd One Piece AMV.

Sword Art Online AMV - This is the first time I’ve actually mentioned this one in a long time since, like Fairy Tail, I feel no rush on getting it done since it’s one of those “mixed reaction” anime. (You either love it or hate it.) I’m also trying to finalise which song (out of 3) I want to use. But I do want to work on it and get it out there.

Clannad AMV - Yes, like One Piece, I have another Clannad AMV planned. One Piece and Clannad are my go to anime when it comes to ideas for AMV’s. (I even have an idea for a 4th One Piece AMV. :P) This next one is the one I’ve been wanting to do since I started working on them, though, so I’m gonna get it done and out there sooner rather than later.

(NEW) Shokugeki no Souma AMV - Now this one just came to me. Shokugeki is an anime I’ve been thinking of doing an AMV for for a while, but never really settled on a song or idea or anything. And with the Elite 10 and Nakiri Azami now being animated, I’ve found a song that actually goes well with it. It’s a generic fight song, but hey. At least it fits. Because of the idea and how new it is, this one might actually jump up the schedule and be the next one I do.

And that’s all from me for now. Hopefully I’ll have the next AMV done and out before Christmas. I will actually try, but once again, no guarantees. :P See ya later.

Update: Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes!

Sorry for that. ^_^; Also sorry for the unintended hiatus. I ran into troubles at Uni (failing grades) and my dad went into hospital with a serious infection, so yeah. Life’s been unexpectedly shit these last few months and it’s been out of my hands. But I’m still here! My dad’s on the mend and I’ve been feeling better these last few days, too. Mostly because I finally got my hands on some anticipated games, but also because of some awesome music coming out and discovered. I just feel overall refreshed and better than ever it’s been so long since I’ve felt this...happy, I suppose... Oh, and yes, that music part does have something to do with this blog.

Thanks to Sonic Forces using them for the villains theme, I discovered The Dangerkids and fell in love with their music big time. So much so that I think I’ve found a replacement song on another One Piece AMV I’ve been second guessing. Like the Evanescence Clannad AMV I did, I have an idea for a certain part of the song and that was the proverbial nail on the head to cement the song as the replacement. I’ve even started the AMV I wanted to get it done ASAP even though I’m supposed to be working on the Fairy Tail and Kuroko AMV’s.

Well, those 2 are proving a real challenge for me right now. I know what I want to do and get done on the Fairy Tail AMV, but seeing what works and doesn’t with both with the footage and FX is the challenging part. I’ve put it aside for now as well, partly due to FT’s lack in popularity as well. (I feel like there’s absolutely no rush what-so-ever unlike other AMV’s.) Meanwhile, The Kuroko AMV is running into problems mostly because I’m trying to find the right footage for the right places and looking for additional footage. I even watched all 3 seasons recently to get an idea and I’m still struggling. Both were put aside for most of the last 4 months.

And don’t think that now I’m done with Uni it’s going to be quicker or easier. I’m thinking of picking up Japanese both for personal reasons (reading and watching might be easier) and professional. A job in game designing might require skills like this. I could also help out manga and anime communities if needed. And speaking of jobs, I need one. I’m going to be spending a lot of time looking for one for...I don’t know HOW long. Life changes and we just have to roll with it. Speaking of changes, I’m fully adopting the Azur3Phoenix name from now on. I’ve used rob1610 for as long as I can remember and I think I could use something more than just my name. I’ve only ever really wanted something recognisable and unique, but...well, that’s really difficult to do in this day and age, anyway. :/

Well, that’s all from me for now. Expect an AMV to drop within the mext month or so. See ya later.

One Piece AMV – Battle Symphony

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Xx4vrEDr8I

Anime: One Piece

Song: Battle Symphony by Linkin Park

When I first heard this song, like Always In My Head and It Was Always You (download only since Cross Game is copyright protected on YouTube), I just knew I wanted to make an AMV for it and what would work well. Sure, any action anime would work well, but One Piece is not only my favourite but one that fits the lyrics as well. I have no issues with this AMV. It came out better than I could've hoped. But it could still be better. That's how much I strive for perfection. But even then, half the blame lies with the song. I know the song itself is disliked among fans because they don't like Linkin Park's new direction. Even I'm not that pleased with it. But Linkin Park have managed to win me over with some great tunes and if they won you over as well, I hope you like this AMV. Please enjoy.

Update: Incoming

So I promised to have the next AMV out when Linkin Park released their new album a little over 2 weeks ago. Well, I decided to wait 2 weeks in case of any copyright issues. (Also because I had 2 weeks of Uni left...) I also changed the song from my crappy copy to a proper copy of the song and found that changing the song actually altered the timing a bit. But I’ve fixed it up and it’s currently being uploaded. Hey, look on the bright side. 2 weeks isn’t that bad compared to how late I was on other AMV’s. xD

In other news, now that I’m on break, that means more time to work on my next 2 AMV’s; the Kuroko no Basket one and the Fairy Tail one. Hopefully I’ll have one of them done by the time I go back to Uni. (But don’t hold your breath, obviously. :P) Now while the KnB AMV uses a song by Fall Out Boy, the Fairy Tail AMV uses old-school Linkin Park. So I do plan to give them what they want. And I also feel like I should expect a heap of dislikes on my new One Piece AMV for using Linkin Park’s new stuff.....oh well. That’s life, I guess. See ya next time.
