Mistcrown AC Animations: Leaving the Nest

I do not own the music for this, all rights go to Cranky. This is an upscaled version of the mistcrown.nu animation "Leaving the Nest" from 2004. The original animation is copyright Crawdia.
I had these archived and thought I could put some work toward upscaling them for display, since they are not publicly available anymore since the mistcrown.nu site has gone down.
I have all of the animations except for "Our Earnest Wish", I will be uploading them periodically. If anyone has the original .swf file for that animation, please comment below so that I can add that as well.

this just makes me want an armored core tv series with each season protaining to a different game and each series with their own timeline like the games, the filler could be the arena if the series needed filler

[@roastusaugustus8844]

zane 5015 Last Raven would be a crazy good season/series end

[@haonsuni8146]

We need a tv series that follows 3 all the way to lat raven, all the canon from AC's 1 to 2 all together as well and boom!

I mean, at one point they were working on an OVA, but the project got canned. I was going to be called Armored Core: Fort Tower Song.

[@MarilynMalkovich]

Protaining.

[@MechAArma]

Damn that grenade laucher ending , i knew if the creator had more material he could have made something epic ,just like entering the R Launcher inside the eye of the ennemy , so the whole energy projectile would have start emiting like from everywhere inside the enemy , resulting in a giant explosions destroying both of them or the cannon detaching from the AC , giving him the possibility to survive . Damn i badly need an AC game

[@doctorsnakeeater1997]

This gives the same energy as that Bionicle Mata Nui Online game's animated cutscenes and I *love* it.

God Eater, a game franchise had an anime based on it, which turned out pretty well. I'd imagine AC could do the same...

[@RayShadow278]

@BlackDeathViral03 There was also meant to be a Light Novel called Fort Tower Song, but that also vanished. So far the only additional piece of media for AC that exists is Tower City Blade

Oh my god, so many memories. My first PS2 game, the day I got the console for the first time. I remember characters from the story! I'm still mad at the Huntress/Fanfare thing, over a decade later. Crowning moment of awesome was seeing my little MT buddies become AC pilots and tag teaming the giant Floating weapon at the end. This video had me relive that entire chapter of my youth. So amazing...

its realy sad that Armored Core honestly could be made into a anime and would do well... but there will never be one. its dark and gritty at times and the tone would likely feel similar to cowboy bebop at times if it was made into one. or they would go the gundam route. fingers crossed that they do this but they never will

[@wonderraid8854]

There actually was going to be an OVA series based on AC called Fort Tower Song, but it was cancelled. From Software has trouble finding publishers for their games and media, and without a publisher backing the project financially, they can't create an anime or new AC game.

Its saddens me that Souls became the dominant game for Fromsoft, Armored Core had superior lore and music. Due to the 10yr gap of no AC games and only Souls games, FreQuency’s developed music for AC6 was reduced in quality.
