Noisy Birth

Noisy Birth is a short music video that spans roughly under 2 minutes. I'm giving a review because not many music videos are watched. So, yep, like the video, this review will be pretty short. First off, the art & sound were done pretty well and I think it fits well with the characters' design. Since it was short, there isn't really anything for me to complain about. However, it does have a dark, gothic theme to it, so if you don't like that, I don't recommend watching it. The music is also pretty upbeat, not anything 'screamo'. However, if you do enjoy those things, just know that you won't waste 2 minutes of your life. :)

My head hurts now. The music was a bunch of noise. Characters felt hollow and pointless. There was no story. The forest was nice... I guess?

Well, I'm sure many of you will flame me for this review because this AMV changed your life and it was so "artistic and meaningful," but truthfully I didn't see it at all. You may have seen the beauty of My Chemical Romance, but all I saw was something contrived and weak with little to no plot, beyond an abstract notion of the horrors of death and doll-making. As always, Yoshiura Yasuhiro made something that was well drawn and possibly well thought out, but I just didn't get the message if there was one. While the man has a talent for drawing in an audience, there was just no spark for me and I feel overall that he could have [and has] done better. I suspect that might have something to do with the last-minute "whoops- we-spent all-our-budget-on-bagels-again-so-let's-just-play-some-generic-background-music-for-this-anime-advertisement"-type of slander they were trying to pass off as music. Sorry if this upsets your lady Victorian values, people, but slamming around a synthesizer does not a musician of you make. Overall, I feel like I could have just saved myself the trouble and used these two minutes to watch Sakasama no Patema again, so I think I'll go do just that.

Rate of 3 No vocals a couple lines of text Music genre metal techno Story Leads you to a goal of sorts (what goal is unclear) only to back tract to the beginning. Message behind the music and video is unclear. Art Mostly black and white, which matched the mood set of the song. Art was fast paced which also matched the song. Although, stressing the plot's message was a failure. Character Unclear to whether is was missing from a mysterious/unknown plot or if it wasn't needed since no words were done in the original song. Enjoyment Not my cup of tea but in terms of metal it was nice not to see horrific acts like blood and gore. Be-warned sound can come off as an annoyance.
