Mother's Day AMV :suggestions?:

SamuraiJake · Post by **SamuraiJake** » Tue Apr 08, 2008 1:33 pm

Hi all, I'm thinking of making an AMV for Mother's Day with Kanye West's "Hey Mama", but I'm wondering if anyone else has used this song for it.

Also, I was thinking of using Full Metal Alchemist for it, but if anybody can suggest a better anime series to use I'm all ears.

Fruits Basket, totally. Tohru's obsessed with her mother, carries her picture around with her and has flashbacks about her...

That's a good idea with "Fruits Basket". I can always bring several animes into the video.

Thanks to the overall post... I'm visualizing Boyz2Men's song, "Mama" with Full Metal Alchemist...

Hmm...the Boys 2 Men song "Mama" is nice. It might be a better alternate song to use.

if the song suddenly gets overused, y'all should know... Blink 182 and My Chemical Romance both have sweet mother's day songs <33

Any more anime ideas?

I'd like to include 2 or 3 different animes in this, so does anyone know of other shows where the mother is a strong character?

*Yusuke's mother on Yuyu Hakusho
*Mrs. Saotome on Ranma 1/2 in the OAV and much later on the series,
*Also check Great Teacher Onizuka, the names escape me but there is a MILF of one of the roughnecks in his class who had him at a very young age (he's a tad bit overprotective of his mother to boot).
* Of course there's Shinji's mother (Neon Genesis Eva) who has a big parental complex and there are some flashbacks of his mother if I recall.
* Finally Grappler Baki, who trains to defeat his father and at first to win his mother's love and later partly to avenge her.

Don;t know if it will work for you, but Happy Lesson is about an orphaned boy who is adopted by five of his teachers, and so has five mothers.

My Neighbors the Yamadas is a family-life comedy. Don't remember much about it, but there's definitely a mother.

Kiki's Delivery Service has a couple scenes of her with her mother.
