Not exactly an AMV, but kinda close -- this appears to be a massive, ambitious (but moribund) project to create a "fake" anime, complete with Japanese production company, English fan dubs, episode lists, movie installments, trailers, fan sites, mailing list, etc., but nothing seems to have happened with it in over a year. I have a couple of their trailers, which very cleverly combine footage lifted from Sailor Moon and Revolutionary Girl Utena with careful digital manipulation to make something that looks almost but not completely like a different anime entirely. (I don't know what kind of system they were made on, but both drop frames and freeze even on my newly awesome computer.) The result is a sort of ecchi sentai/magical girl series with a flower/insect theme (for example, the Queen Beryl analogue is "Regina Apis" -- "Queen Bee").

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone out there has ever come across this, and what they thought of it. And I was distantly hoping (but not expecting) that someone might know what the current status of the project is. Is it dead? Or just sleeping?
Thanks.
