Muppets and Elfen Leid, how can you go wrong

Folks, this is a character profile tragedy from Elfen Leid of one of the supporting characters. I use an uncharacteristically sad song from the Muppets, sung by "Robin the Frog" and played by Rolf the Dog.

I would greatly appreciate your opinions!

What the heck? Why did I like this? I dunno, was it supposed to be a joke? Something different to watch so I ended up liking it. Feels so emotional.

From the topic title alone, I thought that this was going to be some kind of comedy video. After watching it and realizing that this is actually a (realy good) serious, somber video, it feels almost inappropriate to post this now;

Note that I said almost.

Is this a late April Fools' ?

I'm kinda shocked you made such a video. You always like to switch genres huh ? Well for me it was nothing to interesting since it's not my cup of tea just to take 10 scenes from one ep and add some sad music (that sounds really chilish btw.

). Tough I guess it's way more effective if you haven't seen the series yet. I still think this is like the lamest thing you've ever done. But as long as it's only me I guess it's ok. Next time at least add some effort like you normally do

.

I hope I wasn't to harsh.

Hey, the Muppets have done serious songs. "I'm Going to Go Back There Someday" from the movie was serious, so there. ;P /formermuppetfankid

ahem. That is an attention-getting subject line, though. Haha.

Don't mind War, he's getting old and bitter.

I really liked this one. It was simple yet touching. Not all videos need an effect on every beat or direct lyric sync, and this is a perfect example of why. When people get caught up in flashy effects, it's easy to miss the underlying story. The real challenge is to make a video that stands on its own plot and flow, and I think you've done a good job of that here. I'll definitely be keeping this video around.

Very nice video. It was touching, and tastefully done (considering some of the subject matter).

Plus, sweet muppety goodness!
