Bowling for soup - 1985 (Azumanga Daioh... mainly;)

AMVs most of the time are a tribute to a show, mostly they follow the plot and sense of the anime. Sometimes they create something new, but generally in the mood and concept of the original. Not this time. Today's video is what I call an ultimate parody.

It redefines Azumanga and laughs at several other show, and at the same time is an amazingly cut and edited video. The visualisation of the lyrics make me collect my jaws from the floor every now and then. Not only 'cause of the joke, but the concept. The excessive covers parody is a work of a genius - the idea of 'Nervana' owns, they are even similarly emo-ish ;] Not to mention 'Blondie' and the FMA - when they were making this series they definitely spit too much yellow paint. The author did an unbelievable job in making up the plot that has nothing to do with the actual show. Respect.

In terms of effects I especially like the short moments when the almost frame-by-frame animation kicks in. This semi blinking to the soundtrack is neat. The whole video looks a bit sharp and raw with the block design, but on the other hand it somehow fits the general mood. Like the repainted SUV. It's all a laugh. Well balanced parody is not something you see every day. Let me put it this way - 'Scary Movie' is very unbalanced...

On the side note, 3 series which AMVs I plan never to present here rolled along, but lets consider a joke on me. Finally, a bit of homework. Can you find more ?
