Mahoutsukai Jiji

Mahoutsukai Jiji is a promotional video for the interaction/relationship between children and elderly people. This somewhat AMV is a beautiful little piece of work with a simple message and quite lighthearted in a good way.

in the society now at days we tend to forget the value of the elderly, how they can affect children and bring them something that normal adults doesn´t, it is the calmness, the experience and wisdom. The more we interact with people, the more we will learn and know and later on we can appreciate it and even become a better version of ourselves.

I love the ending even though it could ... be interpreted in different ways ^^

But if you are not so much into the video itself then the music alone... Wow... It is damn good. Very beautiful female vocal, I don´t know the lyric but I didn´t feel it was needed, somehow the video and her tones did make it less needed to understand the lyric ^^

Music video
Music style in a way classical or soap.

Story
Of all the amazing things in the world being young is the most magical. There is no worries of a job or bills or crushes. The goal is to have fun. In the movie there are constant reminders of that very same goal even though there has been significant aging. All of which stressed that life doesn't need the stress but creativity and with the further subliminal that it is all at one hand's at all times. While that was a heart warming moral to see acted ... out i was greatly touched by the moral left behind at the end. Which suggested that is this a good gift to recycle.

Art
A good balance of beginner and pro art. Pro art to show realism for adulthood and beginner to express youth of the young.

Sound
The idea of having that small line of children participation greatly powered the song's message.
