Amv that expresses the feeling of....

[Nakuen]

I'm not sure how helpful asking about something like this is but here it is anyway. I'm looking for an amv that expresses a feeling of "starting once again". That is the feeling of starting things once again:

Like someone who re-enters the fray after already having lost before. A feeling of going to battle once more. A kind of renewed spirit that nevertheless remembers that this has happened before, adding a tinge of pessimism or regret or something like but deciding or attracted to the trying once more. It has a Romantic feel to it, not in the sense of love but in the sense of daring, adventure, danger, destruction. A hero going off to battle the monster one more time. These images are just to explicate the sense of what I mean not to limit the possibilities.

I realize that this is a subtle thing that may very well be hard to find in an amv but having seen some amv's that try for emotional nuances, I don't think it impossible. Well, I posted this just in hopes of trying the field and all that stuff.

has nothing to do with 'battle' per say, but this video always chears me up (that's why I made it ) my latest video was made more as a political expresion than a synopsis of an anime series. Beowulf's Dead to the World is a freaking personal anthology, Pwolf's As The World Crashes Down Is a memorial to 9/11 (though he says it's not about 9/11... it is). There's more but I believe all of these show the struggle one faces in the battle that is every day life.

If you mean a litteral battle perhaps this might help. I'd also look up action videos featuring dbz or naruto, just about every one is a battle :/.

I don't know if this is exactly what you mean, but halfway through , the main character gets injured and has to decide to finish the match.

after reading again, I think what your looking for is an rpg type adventure? Try Suberunker's The Wizard of Ozaka

The important thing is not to stop...



Take the version with English subtitles (translation by Koopiskeva)... this AMV is what you need!

Well, unfortunately, these did not help me much. Mainly, while they showed sentimental aspects and some were just action types or upbeat, they did not have that sense of restarting, starting again. I realize that it's all too difficult to understand what it is I'm looking for. And perhaps, I may just have to look out on my own and see if I'm lucky. This is a kind of feeling that I've been trying to capture in the form of media for some time. I'm pretty sure I've felt it from media before but it always feels kind of obscure.

I don't think listing examples that don't really have too much to do with what I'm talking about will help, but I'll list two and what emotions I think they evoke

First, the amv from the anime Golden Boy named "Bicycle Race" with music of same name done by Blumchen. It's from a long time ago by someone named Lazy Hoshino and I was able to find it recently. The main character is riding a bicycle against a motorcycle, a ridiculous race as I have ever seen. Now, the crazyness, dementedness of the main character in pulling some of the stunts is impressive in that it shows his balls in even trying to pull something like that. That first moment when he looks down the slope of a hill that he is going to shortcut shows his clear knowledge of the the daring that is required to go down like that and the bravado and determination that he actually proceeds down that hill. In this case the music adds a heightened effect to the visual experience moreso than the actual sound effects. To me, this showcases the sheer scope of human imagination and willingness to plunge forward for a dream, especially in the ending sequence where he tries to ride to the other side. It has the feeling of breaking boundaries and the power of imagination to do what is possible.

A second amv is from Berserk named "Agony of Existence"

This one is very dark and depicts scenes from the last two episodes of the Berserk anime. It is very dark and just highlights "futility" as humans rage against monsters and as people die one after another trying desperately to help another and protect themselves but failing and falling, falling. This is highlighted in the case of Guts who sees Caska fall.

Now, these two are NOT examples of what I'm looking for, but rather the type of thing I'm looking for. That is, I'm looking for something to evoke the emotion within me. In this case, I want the amv to evoke the feeling of things starting up once again, a sense that even though the character or whatnot knows that what he is about to try to do again is desperate and reckless, he will never the less go forward and try again to do it.

Anyway, I thought I should try to clarify what I'm looking for and hope I've done so to some degree. If you know of an amv that does evoke such a feeling, please let me know because I'd love to see it and even more to feel a sense of satisfaction that I'd finally scratched a long-standing itch somewhat

Thank you for whatever you may recommend
