The arrow over him at the beginning is just hilarious. Every time I see it I have to pause and just laugh. This whole video is so satisfying with how consistently actions land on beats (rip Sai), cuts are used for lyric emphasis (I adore 0:25), and your overall great sense for pacing (letting 0:36 build tension on that slow shot before jumping into the chorus and action). A part like 1:12-1:26 that could have more prolonged shots to match how the song dies down, but doesn’t, yet still feels fine for it because it’s giving purposeful information in the process and you get the slower tension build up from the part following. The rapid cuts syncing up with the natural build from the song itself on the word “fun” and the music behind “anyone” is another big part in making this work so well. The image of Madara just falling into the water at “You could say that my life’s a mess” is so fucking funny as well. I love this AMV so much.
