禁断のレジスタンス MV First Impression



I WANNA FLY (HIGH)! FLY(HIGH!)


So.. it's finally (half) here.

Only 11 days until the fated day where this beauty is released.
(And I get my copy 2 weeks later... sigh.)

But first, the first 30 seconds has been released!



Man, may I just say that this costume looks... sublime. Beauty does not describe this appearance. That hair, the crown/flower, the dress, the makeup, how more beautiful can she get? So pure, so simple, yet so brilliant. And she's cradling a bunch of black roses. (Possible symbolism!)

Well, we do know that the anime is about a princess, Angelize, who is stripped of her name and status and becomes a "Norma", an outcast of society. Black roses are symbolism for the darker side of a person's soul, more specifically, death. Nana here, as a princess, is embracing those roses, instead of casting them aside, a possible symbolism that even after she becomes "Ange" the Norma, she cherishes herself for who she is and acknowledges herself for whoever she may become.

Or I'm just thinking too much.



Oya oya, what do we have here?



Here we have gothic Nana! Though definitely not as stunning as that faabulous dress, it awfully reminds me of Mysterion/Secret Ambition's MV costume, though that's definitely not a bad thing. So that "darker side" of Nana/Ange is much more apparent in these scenes.

Also, I can comment on the overall darkness of the PV. Even when Nana's being the angel, her pure form, she stands outside over a cliff, watching everything below, yet the sky and the water seems dark. Perhaps this can be referenced to the anime, where the utopia the characters live in might not be "utopia" after all.

I love it!
Can't wait for the official and whole MV to come out!
