AMV: Finally Robotic Beings Rule the World

[ianiceboy.livejournal.com]

"The date was August 10 in the year 2010 of the Imperial calendar. The Holy Britannian Empire had just declared war upon Japan. The Far East island nation had held fast to its neutrality, and now Britannia looms as the world's only superpower."

"It is the distant future: the year 2000! We are robots. The world is quite different ever since the robotic uprising of the late nineties. Finally, robotic beings rule the world!"

I'm not sure why, but mischaracterising a series is my favourite type of AMV humour. My previous attempt made Ouran Host Club look rough, and I knew I had to do something similar for Code Geass, my favourite anime of all time. The perfect song made it possible. Henceforth, knightmare frames do not have people inside them; knightmare frames are our robot overlords! (Or they would be, had we survived their late-nineties uprising.)

This AMV uses clips from episodes 1, 2, 4-13, 18-21, 23-27, 30-36, 39, 44, and 50. I have done my very best to keep it spoiler-free. The song is "Robots" by Flight of the Conchords.

Robo-boogie!

Ah, photo-y people. I have some friends like that. (I only normally take that many photos when I am on a trip overseas or something)

Most of the stuff I've seen has had a really good dub, but it really depends on the series, honestly. I just found the Lelouch-Rossiu and Suzaku-Simon role reversals kind of hilarious, especially the endings - the war-time hero leaving peacetime leadership in the hands of his (less popular in fandom) friend.

That's a really subjective debate: Both versions are very popular, and which is better debates get horrible. I personally prefer the newer series, because it follows the manga and I like the manga plot and themes more and I am not entirely satisfied with how the first anime ended, but it isn't complete (until next week, anyway), and only a third has been dubbed so far. Both are very well done, though. I'd recommend the newer one, but someone else might gave a different opinion.
