Oooh I'm always down to learn about fanimes! What's that Eternal thing you mentioned in that 'smallest fandom you're in' post, if you don't mind me asking?
HOOOO BOYYYYYYYY
ok so have i ever told y’all how i got into animation in the first place
basically i was REALLY into magical girl fanime back in 2007 and i tried to make my own (i finished 2 transformations, which can be found here [X] and here [X]) but i never really went anywhere… I was just INCREDIBLY inspired by the big-name fanimes, the ones that actually GOT somewhere and had small followings, one of which was called “Eternal” by MelodyFan12. (Her name’s Sophie McGregor – she put her ACTUAL name on her stuff, which back on 2007 youtube was like. dude. badASS. her tumblr is @melodyfananimations.)
here’s a pretty good sample of what it originally looked like [X] and she even made the whole first episode! which i downloaded a long time ago but has since been removed from youtube. T_T
BUT in 2014, my sophomore year of college, she started uploading some re-vamped versions of those transformations [X] [X] under the title “Eternal Reincarnation,” and y’alllll. i was almost crying. to see one of my IDOLS as a child growing and improving…. granted it’s not perfect, but it is leaps and bounds ahead of what it was. i’m just. hoooo boy
ive been wanting to cosplay the mc lately (Yuka, the pink one) but alas, time, money…..
(2 other fanimes I was into were “ELFS” by Rounzei and “Mahouseki” by Marim23. you can still find their stuff on youtube, i believe)
