"From Up on Poppy Hill" is probably my favorite Studio Ghibli film. I'm not saying this as a contrarian. Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away and most of the others are incredible films! But I love the setting and characters of Poppy Hill way too much. And the group dynamic is just adorable. It's not a perfect film but like i said it is my favorite Ghibli.
I got the idea to this AMV three months ago on a Taxi ride with the song was playing on the radio. Until then Poppy Hill seemed too much of a task to translate into AMV. The story is not that easy to adapt because it's partly romance but strangely restricted by some weird coincidences that I can't really explain here. However, the cool kids/underdog angle to the story was what finally convinced me to do the AMV.
Of all the ideas i already had, this one seemed to be the most fitting for Big Contest. The name derives from the TV series House of Cards. It's meant to reflect on the club house that is central to the story as well as the romance parts.
I hope you'll enjoy the AMV and check out the film.

Если с позиции моего имхо - смотреть подробный пересказ исходника было не так интересно. С пересказом всегда можно уйти за грань того, что будет интересно тем или иным зрителем, и тут клип, видимо, за эту грань слегка вышел. На мой вкус тут можно было выделить припевы большим подбором характерных маленьких сценок, а не повествованием. И смотрелось бы на порядок легче.
МВ не совсем прочувствовала, может потому что у аниме слишком явная привязка к определенной эпохе, а песенка намного современнее звучит. Больше бы подошла, имхо, к миксу с похожей рисовкой.
