Haruka Amami, of Idolmaster fame, here stars in a music video of extraordinary stylishness and production quality, which needless to say is doing extremely well on Nico:
If you wish to see it in less cramped conditions, try here.
Below is the original work, which at half an hour long and with a well crafted storyline, is more a doujin visual novel than a MAD, though the various music video segments are excellent all the same…

Great mocap... but those freakesh eyes!!!
No matter where her head turns, she's always looking straight with not one moment shifting to either sides of the eye socket.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, go to a mirror and stare straight at it. Now turn your head (it will help if you have somebody looking at you) without looking in the direction your heads turning.
That is what freaks the hell out of me when I see videos like this with that super realistic body movement.
I have to say i love this style of music, and have heard similar on many OP/ED in anime.
What genre is this? I want to find more music of this kind.
At least credit Wakamura P :O He's a god.
That was nice.
the voice just doesnt match the image.!
who's the artist of the soundtrack?
This is...
Boukoku Kakusei Catharsis by ALI PROJECT, of .hack//Roots right?
I would say yes.
awesomeness
whoa, that voice does NOT fit a cute character like her
that's a shitload of work right there... matting out the idolmaster stage to isolate her dances... then generate new backgrounds in 3d... and then recomposite it back together in aftereffects with all the new effects... that's hardfuckingcore.
Awesome video, shame I can't understand much what they are saying though. But I do kinda understand what the story is about, and I got to say Haruka Amami is so moe despite her weird eyes and shit....
if only her mouth is same with what she say i will love it
that MAD was amazing <3
That opening song was the one for Madlax right?
Considering the music, too bad they couldn't edit her face to be more...Well, the "all smiles" look doesn't quite fit.
There's the lip sync issue too...
But considering the source footage for the char animation (I'm assuming they pulled it from a game recording...?), this is VERY well done.
That is simply AMAZING.
Great style of the video, music from Ali-Project i think....but the only thing that i find weird is her face.....not emotions at all.......
Yeah, I dig ya. Also her mouth isn't sync'd to this song.
Need learn Japanese.
Had a hard enough time reading Yotsubato!.
I love her! :3
>I love her!
That's what you think now, wait until you learn the truth.
This is the one Idolm@ster girl I would love to tear into, as in punching in the face.
Nothing. Its just that her left foot is dislocated and she's putting on a smile for her fans
crap. its for the one below
What the hell is with her legs in first picture?
i noticed that too, it's bending in an unatural manner
Next time I'll just use a screen then.
No need, just don't use a picture that led me to believe this would be a drawing failure gallery.
I think the image is flipped. The black thing coming down her leg is on her right side in the video. That thing on her right wrist in the picture isnt on the cg model in the video. At least not from what I can tell. She's moving around a lot.
Older Ali Project is so hardcore, nowdays all their songs are pretty much the same. The video is eye-candy too.
Nice video, but her face is emotionless.
