Random Musings - Stop Motion Gundam Edition July 19
Thanks to jj, I found out that the guy who made the Suzumiya Haruhi Gundam Parodies of the OP and ED has been up to a lot recently. This person, named plamo on YouTube, has not only made a parody of Touka helping Hakuoro in episode fourteen of Utawarerumono, he’s also made a Gundam parody of the end of the episode two of Suzumiya Haruhi and the God knows… song from episode twelve.
In addition, this guy has created Gundam parodies of several OP and ED sequences including:
Gokujou Seitokai’s OP, Koiseyo Onnanoko
Joshi Kousei GIRL’S-HIGH’s ED, incl.
Magikano’s ED, Magisuki MAGIC
Mai-Otome’s ED, Otome ha DO MY BEST desho?
Suzumiya Haruhi’s OP, Bouken Desho Desho?
Suzumiya Haruhi’s ED, Hare Hare Yukai
And that’s just a portion of all the videos.
I found all of them incredibly entertaining. I love the attention to detail, such as the way Strike Gundam’s Aile Pack comes down after defeating the enemy Gundam just like Touka’s hair floats down after she kills the enemy general. The Gokujou Seitokai OP made me laugh so much and reminded me of how much I liked the opening song.
plamo’s homepage can be found at http://ugougo.gejigeji.jp/. It includes a page for the “cast” of the videos and a page of production notes for each video.
Update: plamo has uploaded a new video, NHK ni Youkoso’s ED, a parody of Odoru Akachan Ningen. It is freaking HILARIOUS. You really have to watch it alongside the actual ED animation to appreciate how good it is.

Also for the news section, there’s going to be a Shana OAV, but I don’t think it will advance the plot any (I think it may be a Hot Springs ep).

Plamo wins a thousand internets.

I’ve seen the Magikano ending version and I must say, that is alot of gundams. Also it must’ve taken plamo a lot of time to move all those gundams. awesome none the less.
Waaaaaa at 2:48 am on July 19th, 2006
Plamo wins the internet. The God Knows concert was done perfectly… i’m speechless.

Amazing. Simply amazing. Man, I haven’t enjoyed myself this much since…. Haruhi? Hmm, I have a good life.
Great highlight Omni.

I’ve been an avid follower of his work ever since the Haruhi stuff exploded all over way back in the beginning.
Highlights for me were how he did the ‘drums’ and also when FA Gundam ejects it’s armor to simulate… you know. Truly lol in pure joy moments.
