No effects versus effects comparison for this video.
I sometimes feel like I'm at the point in my life where I can't learn any more new skills, but video editing always loves to prove me wrong. Just about every AMV I post involves trying something I haven't before, and this video is no exception. It's got glitching VHS effects, "expression shakes," eye-reflection zooms, and more—sometimes made without any tutorial to show me the way! Using what I know to apply effects I want to apply has been such a rewarding, powerful experience.
As a viewer, the highlight of the effects work in this video is likely the VHS look (which often involves actual VHS footage! That I... messed up with static recorded from my VCR and other filters to "look more like VHS footage"). But as an editor, my highlight is the amount of masking—the most I've ever done for any AMV thus far.
Two years ago, I never would have imagined putting together such an effects-heavy AMV, and it is beyond neat to me that creating this kind of fanwork is now in my toolbox. Video editing brings me so much joy.

This was the first time the series was released on Blu-Ray Disc in Japan. The anime was a little more than 15 years old back then. A new boxset, including the new OVA, “Two Shots” and “All or Nothing”, came out in 2018 to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the anime.
The 2009 edition has 3 boxes, containing a total of 14 discs and 3 special discs with extras: Eizou Hakusho OVA, movie, compilation of the openings & endings and commentary from the voice actors + the famous “Picture Drama” released for this box.

- Part I (pp.1-17): characters’ profiles and comments from Yoshihiro Togashi & the Japanese Voice Actors.
