This is my entry for the Abunai! 2023 local AMV competition. At first I was planning to create a much more high concept edit for the competition, but due to its ballooning size not much came of it. But still I wanted to enter with something that I personally quite enjoy, so inspired by a guilty pleasure AMV of mine ( Taiho Shichau zo AMV (Cheri Cheri Lady - Modern Talking) ) I wanted to take my own spin on a "You're Under Arrest" montage and ended creating another retro anime edit.
I came to the conclusion that my previous retro AMV with Heidi could be a boring watch for the average viewer, so combined with an Italo Disco banger I've made the edit more energetic this time around. And also tried to direct more high and low points throughout the video. Either way I hope you can enjoy this AMV.
I believe this is also the first edit that I've specifically used AI and other methods for upscaling instead of just Avisynth scripting. (Which was quite needed since the original source is a 480p DVD rip)

It is what it is.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Трек - пушка, кстати.
Thank you for your comment, I'm glad to see others finding enjoyment in older anime as well.
As for the AMV itself it's true that I focused more on the picture and general feel of the video rather than on the plot. Perhaps a future project could have more work done on that aspect.
Что касается этой работы - отличное качество изображения. Прямо приятно было смотреть.
Ненавязчивая музыка.
И ненавязчивое содержание. Пожалуй, даже - слишком ненавязчивое, чтобы зацепить внимание.
Но, как мне показалось, автора клипа больше интересовал не сюжет, а просто сама картинка. Которая в старых анимешках всегда была на "отлично".
Автора благодарю за работу. Надеюсь в дальнейшем увидеть сюжетный клип тоже на что-нибудь старенькое.
Thank you for the feedback. As for the music it's really just what I personally enjoy and I shaped the video according to the music. But I can understand if you don't enjoy it, it's a pretty niche genre.
Но могу отдельно сказать спасибо за переходы, очень порадовали, качество исходника шикарное, сочетание музыки/видео хорошее, атмосфера тёплая, видно, что автор явно со вкусом, но вот с музыкой откровенный промах.
При всём вышесказанном, этот клип явно лучше многих работ, которые были выложены здесь за последнее время, это 4+, жду новых работ.
Thanks
