As part of the serious and important work I do editing fansubs, I was tasked with quality checking Orphan Fansubs release of Korogashi Ryouta. I knew before finishing all three episodes that something had to be made with this. It was just too wild an anime to let it be forgotten. I have a particular penchant for the old and the weird so it was a natural fit for me. I also enjoy thinking that this may be the first AMV ever made with this source. Email me if you find an earlier one!
Song wise I knew I wanted something bus themed since the bus was going to play a key role. I poked around at a few songs, but ultimately went with this wheels on the bus metal cover. It is just the right level of zany and unexpected for me.
Director’s Commentary:
00:16: I added a switch being flipped sfx here. Felt like it was missing something without it. Not sure it adds a lot, but it does feel like a good switch over to the more heavy metal portion of the song.
00:49 – 00:52: Maybe the best sync to audio I have ever done in my AMV career. Just tremendous and worth the admission price.
01:05 – 01:07: This would be the second best. I had a lot of fun with the screams in this one.
02:11 – 02:13: I added a little face of the MC here to cover up the side boob. Its probably not needed, but I wanted to cover my bases to not run afoul of convention submission rules.
Altogether a nice quick comedy AMV with a weird source.
