So-called MAD movies are Japanese fan-made videos spliced together from clips from anime and video games. Posted on sites like YouTube and Niconico Douga, they are similar – although not identical – to YouTube poops, in that they see fans mashup footage and distorted sound to make beautiful, and bizarre videos. Truly, the internet is a wonderful place.
Today we bring you a MAD movie that throws together a Japanese pop culture David and Goliath in the form of puzzle-horror game Ao Oni (“Blue Demon”), and anime and manga publishing sensation Attack on Titan. Join us after the jump for some surreal animated mashup fun!
Without further ado, let’s see what we’ve got on our hands here:
There. Wasn’t that lovely? Just in case you’re thinking what did I just watch?! … Let’s take a closer look!
▼ Instead of Shingeki no kyojin ( 進撃の巨人 aka Attack on Titan), this vid is entitled Zenra no kyojin (全裸の巨人), or “Naked Giants”.
▼ Here they are. True to the movie’s subtitle, they’re “a sort of blueberry colour”.
▼ This scene would make an excellent desktop background, I feel…
▼ If one monster is Fuwaty, how much are four monsters?
▼ Amusingly incongruous South Park cameo.
