There is actually nothing to say about this AMV. Let me tell you something about modern metropolis instead.
The modern metropolis is a strange living organism. It grows. It sucks people into it. It lures them with opportunities and excitement. Its chaos hold together by a strange order and rhythm. In this cycle day and night fade together. To be awake or to sleep doesn't matter. Everything is running and up all the time. New technologies creep in and flip your life upside down. You've been to a place yesterday and now there is a new hive of apartments, offices and living quarters. The metropolis hunger drew it out from seemingly nowhere. Art installations break you up in your routine and attack your senses like guerrilla warriors. Some try to escape their dream day like state. However daily life has a tight grip on them. The sense of loneliness and sadness keeps creeping in, while you are surrounded by masses of anonymous faces, that don't matter to you. Some try to break free from the repetition and succeed. They got enough money to flee to rural areas or distant lose suburbs. Either you are a part of the monster, or you run and never come back.
This is the 21st Century Metropolis.
On a personal note: This is heavily inspired to my trips to the sprawls of Tokyo and Osaka. Those who were there, might understand my feelings. It calls to me again. After years of Covid I'm eager to go again.
Technical notes: This is a wild mix of anime, live action, stock material, found footage, fotos and 3D graphics. All held together by a colour scheme and pixelart. This took a lot of time, with a lot of long breaks and a complete overhaul. However, when I see the result, I don't want this any other way. I can't believe I indulged this madness and finished it!
Media info: The song is "Cirrus" made by the great artist "Bonobo". It's the official music video mix with some smaller edits and changes made by me.
