Revolutionary Girl Utena AMV | "No Choice" | DopplerDo

Revolutionary Girl Utena AMV about love, betrayal, and ending up right where you started despite tremendous effort to leave.
Haha I don't want to nerd out too hard, but I made this around the idea of a literal revolution, as in one complete rotation. Even though that's not technically what "revolution" means in the Japanese anime title, it's a really strong motif in the series: the endless dueling, the chicken-and-the-egg problem with the world Akio wants born, etc. That's why it starts out with a record player and a carosel, and why it ends the way it started :p.
The awesome music is from Pomplamoose and ft. Andie Case. I've been really getting into Pomplamoose in the last year and you should definitely watch them perform it here: • I Will Survive + Maroo... I was inspired by the funky creative energy they all have :D
As always, you subs that get down here are the best! Thanks for taking a minute to listen to what I have to say in the middle of your glorious KZbin spiral :p. Stay classy, subs.

Really happy of seeing someone who loves this after years

[@DopplerDo]

Thanks a ton for watching it :D!

[@mittyx5605]

your sense of timing to music, both with the use of cuts and utilizing motion already in the animation, is unparalleled. all your amvs have such a snappy, satisfying sync with the music that makes them so re-watchable!

[@DopplerDo]

I really appreciate you taking time out to say that. And thank you for willingly going on my groove rollercoaster 😄! Sorry for the late reply - I hope life has good to you between your comment and this reply :p

[@amyscarlet3599]

Saw this at Sakura-con 2022 when they showed us the, "canceled due to covid" contest from 2020. Glad I was able to find it. Loved the choice of song!

[@DopplerDo]

I’m glad you liked it and it got some screen time! Thanks so much!

[@saneira]

masterpiece!

[@DopplerDo]

[@NekoKitkat25hug]

I showed this to a friend who absolutely loved this and she is a huge utena fan. made both me and her both very happy! btw i am so jelly of your editing!

[@DopplerDo]

You are too kind! Is this the awesome friend of yours I met at Kumoricon? I hope you’re both good! I’m jelly of YOUR editing! If only we could merge our strengths 😝

[@seasaltmemories]

As someone who has edited and watched a lot of Utena videos (lol) I really admire your creative use of overlays, really inspired stuff, if I had to pick a favorite part, it would probably be the instrumental break

[@DopplerDo]

Thanks so much! It’s really quite a whole thing 😝! I’m general, I really try to make their use as metaphorical as possible and sometimes just to show watchers that I’m having fun haha

[@hearthshade]

This gave me chills. Haven't seen the anime, but now I kind of want to. I like how you kept the original aspect ratio.

[@DopplerDo]

You gotta go full retro if you have the chance XP! Kids these days with their 16:9!

[@kaptainamv7723]

I love how the song matches the vibe of the anime in each designated section. Also great sync. Keep it up. You finna be a know amv maker at this pace.💪🏿

[@DopplerDo]

Thanks, Kaptain! I really appreciate that and I've really been relentless pushing myself for three years now, so that means a lot. What really matters to me is that you can come here, watch stuff, and have a kickass time before you go have a kickass day that has nothing to do with me. It's very humbling to have people remember your name and to get lots of views, but it doesn't compare to chilling a bit with people like you who give up some time to let me know what you think, so lol we'll see what happens XD

[@mahdrescher8059]

This video ended up in my youtube mix in april of last year and hasn't left since i've seen it so many times. I can't listen to 'I will survive' without thinking 'utena'. Love this video tho

[@DopplerDo]

It loves you back!!

[@alphapuggirl120]

fr love ur amvs sm

[@DopplerDo]

They love you back

[@Paksennarion]

Wowwww, this is amazing! I love how it captures the very complex grey areas of their relationship and yet also the idealism and hope...

[@DopplerDo]

Thank you so much for noticing, Paksennarion! You’re welcome on this channel anytime 😆

[@zettaiglory]

[@yuubey7887]

Omg celebrating valentines with this.... utena and anthy the best couple in anime even if they pretty much suffered the whole series, you really did them justice with this and I love the concept of the repeating cycle ❤️ Mwah

[@DopplerDo]

Heck yes! Happy Valentines Day to you!!! Awesome people like yourself are a huge part of why I love making these AMVs! Out of curiosity is your name a reference to Kyuubey from Madoka? Lol you might like “Hard Reset” kzbin.info/www/bejne/ioncd3ufpNOKoM0 and I made another one called “Going Under” that really focuses on Homura if that’s your jam 😝! Welcome to the channel!!

[@thetwinktank]

Wow, incredible editing 😮 I love what you did with the masking and effects, it's so seamless

[@DopplerDo]

Geez thank you so much! It was a really tough and fun ride making it! Thanks for checking it out, beru :D))))!

[@DopplerDo]

Thanks, FV! I always appreciate you stopping by and telling me what you think! Pomplamoose is definitely a unique band and even the stuff I don’t like has an interesting character to it. I hope you find something sweet!

It's nice waking up to one of your AMV in the morning lol. Never seen this anime but way to tell the story 👌

Ahaha I actually watched this this year because I wanted to do this video XD, but I'm glad I did get a chance to watch this oldie!

That was super nice to watch, I like it.

Selentric, you are awesome! Thank you for noticing the invisible machinery of keyframes and masks :p! I am definitely trying my absolute best with each video so this means a lot :D!

[@selentric]

I've been stalking your channel for a little while hehe so I love the improvement and I can see and also can't imagine all the effort you put into this!

Great edit! I'm glad you used this version of the song (I always hated the original 😝)

[@DopplerDo]

Haha yeah I always felt like the original This Love by Maroon 5 was way too bright for the lyrics. I actually arranged a dark a cappella version of it back in the day and spent years performing it so it’s close to my heart 😝
