Top Current Shugo Chara Fan-Made Video (AMV)

March 30, 2012 in Shugo Chara

Where do I begin, this AMV is both really good and really really corny. It’s the top Shugo Chara AMV out on YouTube currently with over 350,000 views and nearly 5,000 likes compared to the 53 dislikes. It’s not a recent video though as it was uploaded way back in 2009 but for one reason or another it’s become quite popular lately.

I like the music, the video is a decent length (not too short or long), and the clip selection is great! The video even features what appears to be custom modified animations (or clever clip tricks) that add a lot of originality to the video. the part that really get’s me is the corniness of it, it’s setup to make it look like 2 characters from the anime are the singers of the background song and even singing together – All the clips are from the ~real~ anime so nothing made up, they just used a lot of tricks (playing the right clips in the right order) to make it look like the characters are singing the song — I really find that a bit too corny for me, it’d be great if they left the music but didn’t try to make the characters look like they’re singing the song, other than that part it’s a neat clip.

Finished Shugo Chara Episode 74

November 24, 2011 in Shugo Chara

I decided to blog about this one because it was a really funny episode all the way through, Amu rescued Ikuto from a dangerous situation and brought him back to her house. The whole episode really took place in her room minus a few brief other places.

Amu was having to deal with Ikuto throughout the episode until Tadase came over to her house. Amu had to hide Ikuto in her closet so Tadase wouldn’t know about him being over. It turned out that Tadase came over to confess his feelings for Amu and wanted them to be in a relationship.

Most of the episode was Tadase trying to get around to confess to her but at the end Ikuto did some mocking to her over their relationship and then very lightly confessed he felt the same way but quickly glossed over it so both of them never really gave it much thought.

The entire episode was hilarious, below is 2 clips:

Shugo Chara Clown Drop Transformation

November 17, 2011 in Shugo Chara

 

I made a post earlier on the clown drop transformation but I thought I’d mention it again. This was the first time Rima was shown transforming with her chara. If I remember correctly, it was with Ami in the woods when they were chasing an X-egg and back when Utau was an arch enemy.

Rima is the “pretty girl” all the guys in the anime go after and is also one of the funniest characters in the anime. She’s loyal to Gag Comedy (Very dry Japanese humor) so much so that she’ll instantly tell you with fire in her eyes “Your a disgrace to comedy” if you so much as tell a joke wrong.

Rima also lists every boys number in her phone so when she has to do something, get something, or go somewhere she calls one of the numbers in her phone for them to “gladly” do it instead which really irritates Ami.

Her transformation is “Clown Drop”, a clown transformation and her attack is juggling party. Her character change is triggered whenever she’s around someone performing any kind of comedy poorly and her character change symbol is two green shapes on her cheek.

Another reason she’s so funny is because it’s opposite of her “outer character”. On the outside she’s a very quiet and reserved person so a clown drop character change or transformation totally changes her character to a highly outgoing, comical person who’s a total pro at demonstrating various forms of comedy.

Both videos listed below, Rima is my all-time favorite character in the show:

Finished Shugo Chara – Episode 65

November 16, 2011 in Shugo Chara

This episode was the continuation of Episode 64 where Ikuto was sleeping in Ami’s Bed. I found this episode so funny all the way through. Ami couldn’t figure out how to sleep with Ikuto in her bed so she stayed up all night. The next morning school was cancelled due to a lot of snow so she had to take her little baby sister out to the park to play in it. Desperately trying to get back and keep her parents from fining out that Ikuto, for reasons unknown to her as well, was sleeping in her bed.

She never made it back until that night but Ikuto’s Chara helped keep him safe. That night Ikuto was allowed to stay another night but not in her bed and out of sight from her parents.

It turns out that Ikuto broke into Easter Corporation and stole his violin back, he was unaware of the experiments they were doing to it. The violin was leaking negative and dark energy on his journey back to his house. It overloaded his body and he eventually collapsed to the ground outside in a snow storm.

Ikuto’s chara urged him to find shelter or he’ll die from the extreme temperatures but he couldn’t move. Ikuto’s Chara then transformed with him to give him enough energy to make it to the nearest shelter and so he picked Ami’s house. —- This is why he was sleeping in her bed and Ami was a bit more understanding after she got the real story.

Finished Shugo Chara Episode 64

November 15, 2011 in Shugo Chara

Nothing really exciting happens in this episode, I found it sort of boring actually. There were a few surprises though and a few significant events occurred. First of all, the storyline is really delving into Lulu, the new enemy which replaced Utau. She had a very large role in this episode and it really just followed her towards the middle. Amu wasn’t really doing anything great in the first place either.

The real surprise was that when Amu went to sleep she discovered Ikuto snoozing in her bed, already asleep. Just seeing the expression on her face alone was priceless.A preview of the episode is below, all the last segments have been removed from YouTube.
