Ah, I was wondering when I would see this uploaded. ^^ Glad to see it finally up. Well you know how I feel about it already but for everyone else who doesn't know this AMV yet, I highly recommend giving it a look at. It's definitely one of her best if not her very best AMV to date.

I'll try to remember to give you a full opinion soon! =)

Oh God... Not another one. O_o

My recent emo urges from Clannad make me not want to get this, but since it's you, I'll make an exception.

ugh the sudden influx of angsty video's is gettin to me.

I don't really like the song... but if I were to put that bias behind me I bet I would of enjoyed this amv alot. Decent, I liked your last video ALOT more then this one.

3/5
"The people cannot be [...] always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to [...] the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to public liberty. What country can preserve its liberties, if it's rulers are not warned [...] that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants."-Thomas Jefferson

Just the right amount of angst... A little more than deviantart journal angst, and just below twilight novel angst.

I liked it a lot. =D

Aww yeah, a Melichan AMV O:

Couldn't really appreciate the song, but the editing was really nice and there was nice build-up throughout the vid. Loved the quote at the end, a nice sentimental AMV, keep it up :up:

I was going to reply by linking to a site that has razor blades on sale and call it a day. Then I thought perhaps doing that to a video inspired by suicide because of cyberbullying might be a little over the top, even for me. So instead I'll give my real thoughts.

Grabbing every emotional scene you can find in a series and slapping it into a video without ever really showing a cause for the emotion does not make it sentimental or particularly dramatic. If anything, crying for no reason is a possible sign of mental illness and a need for counseling and perhaps medication. Those women need some ativan at the very least. Rather than feeling whatever emotion you wanted me to feel I spent most of the video mentally trying to figure out which DSM classification the characters were. I'm leaning towards DSM IV 296.5 (bipolar, depressed), although it's rather hard to make a judgment off a short video like this. In addition to manipulating the mentally ill to try and score some cheap emotional points; the video is about as vapid, insincere, and trite as those people who end every conversation with 'god loves you'. If your target audience could actually believe in the message of your video then they wouldn't be in the group you're trying to target to begin with.

As a side note, I almost actually laughed out loud at the inherent sexism of the women being mentally fucked up and the big strong guy can make it all better. Seriously, the only way it could get more sexist is if one of them was preggers and making him dinner.This was especially amusing because any depressed males who view this video will, if anything, end up feeling even worse about themselves since they can't match up to Mr saves the day there. Also a nice boot to the teeth of anyone who's depressed because they just got dumped so has reason to believe no one loves them. Props to kicking the mentally ill while they're down, if only it were intentional I'd nominate it as a dark comedy in the VCAs.



Since you seem to be interested in the subject, you might want to read up on this case. That link isn't me being mean or sarcastic, it's actually a case that seems like it might be in your interests. If you want a link to the razor blade sale as well just let me know. They had some good deals.
