A Festive Federation AMV [Making Christmas]

One final fright before the big day. For funsies!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all! Hope your holiday season is wonderful, calm, and safe. 2023 was a different kind of year, lots and lots of ups with only a few downs (at least for me), but hey, that's another year down in the books! And the Federation is ending it with one final festive romp. Of COURSE we're gonna steal Christmas, if you can, why not?
Fill free to play I spy and see how many new faces join the crowd alongside the tried and true! I will mention some important distinctions here:
- Expect the electric quintet of Boomtower, Kanon, Tronos, Haumea, and the Volt Ghost at the near beginning to get a video next year... eventually. Came up with their mini team in secret and haven't shown them off but I'm very into them as a group - Maximum Voltage's gotta light up all these Christmas lights anyhow
- Another secret addition: V.V. Argost! I binged Secret Saturdays earlier in the month and I LOVE him, he's so great. Really instilled the desire to rewatch all the forgotten action-oriented CN shows that I missed out on. Argost is just so much fun, such a diabolical, charismatic ham. Easily one of my new favorites.
- Even though the pair is part of the "ship" montage, Abnes and Galleom are NOT together romantically. Abnes doesn't really "fight" as much as she's just kind of annoying, but I thought giving her a mech was a fun idea. The Pumpkinator was another candidate, but seeing the old Subspace Emissary enemies in a post one day made me remember the big purple lug, and the idea just clicked. Purple-pink gamer terrors off to bother people all loud like
- I really skipped out on a lot of "good" anime this year (I only watched... bad stuff except for like 2 things oof), but at least I had Dark Gathering. It only took the whole show to give me a proper villain to adore that wasn't evil stabby spooky ghost, but Dorothy really just is everything. Lil goth daughter AH I want season two announced already.
ok gotta go last minute X-Mas shopping so later gamers, see you in the New Year!

Merry Christmas! Another fantastic Federation of Fear video. Loved the bit with Phantom Blot and Scarecrow making “hats”, and also delighted to see VV Argost join their ranks. Seems like a perfect fit for their crew.

Merry Christmas to you as well, and thank you so much! I had a lot of fun assigning roles with this one, and the Blot-Scarecrow interaction was one of the very first that hit me when listening to the lyrics. And I'm absolutely delighted to have Argost on board. I enjoyed his show, and you've always put in such a good word for him, so I hope to show him off more in the future!

Nothing like celebrating the holidays with your favorite baddies! Just look at them having a fantastic time together. The song was perfect and the editing was so much fun. It was great seeing everyone and some new additions. VV Argost was such a fantastic surprise. Great stuff.

[@Makuta52]

Thank you so much! Another holiday jaunt that I had a blast editing for, that's for sure! Argost was my surprise favorite I decided to check out a while back, just didn't get good enough time to share before the year ended. He's awesome, up there with Moria and Zakuro as my new favorites I met this year, just knew I had to include him! Merry Christmas, friendo!!

I liked Mizune Sisters for the "mice" part, and I wasn't expecting to see Cthylla from Chaos Code, she's pretty obscure. Also is that AKANE SHINJOU IN A SEXY MAGICAL GIRL UNIFORM??? Where is that footage from?????

[@Makuta52]

Yeah, Chaos Code got on sale for real cheap at some point last year so I picked it up. Really rough translation but that kind of makes it endearing, plus the cast is varied with neat designs. Cthylla was a little chaotic gremlin goober - I'm surprised anyone would have noticed her! Akane puts on this uniform during the Gridman Universe movie, the big crossover event between Gridman Dynazenon. She isn't as villainous there but I HAD to use her footage because of how flashy and colorful she looks!
