• Comments: Well I just realized I can not post my Teen Titans vids up here, so I decided to just give you guys The Flag Ship, My Magnum Opus, My Raison d'être, and whatever else you wanna call it. THIS IS SINGLE HANDEDLY MY SINGLE GREATEST VIDEO TO DATE. Not lying.
  
  It is also The 3RD PLACE WINNER OF DRAGON*CON'S AMV CONTEST
  Drama Category !
  
  The entire mind set behind the creation of this video was doing each contributor justice. I am a HUGE fan of the "Lament of The Lamb" Manga series. Something you all must know about me, I HATE Vampires with every fiber of my being, but "Lament of The Lamb" was so different from your usual Vampire Angst story that I instantly fell in love with it and the characters. And when I finally discovered that they actually made "Lament of The Lamb" into an anime, I knew I had to make an AMV.
  
  Second I am a fan of Panic! At The Disco. I brought their first album and I loved it from start to finish. One song in particular stood out and that was "Time To Dance". When I discovered the subject matter of the song (ie, what the song was REALLY about) I was stunned. It was a very live, very hype song with really awesome lyrics, and despite the way the song sounds, it's actually about something REALLY dark and really gritty. After comparing the two, I realized "Time To Dance" and "Lament Of The Lamb" would go together PERFECTLY!
  
  Now, about the video. It's much cerebral than anything I've ever created. I know that many AMV creators shy away from allowing the subtitles to be seen in a video. But for this video the subtitles were ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY ! Because they help explain and express things the pictures cannot. Every moment of this video was planned down to it's last detail, even things that appear to be errors were all planned. So I encourage everyone to read only the subtitles you can.
  
  A few things I'd like to express, the anime is very close to the book but different in many ways. Ergo, I tried to make the video mirror the book more than the anime. In the section where they say:
  "Give me envy, give me malice, give me your attention !" You'll see flashes of Minase, this is because in the book Minase is more or less jealous of Kazuna's relationship with his sister (Kazuna's sister that is, Chizuna). When they say "Pulling the trigger all wrong", Kazuna is rejecting Yaegashi, when he OBVIOUSLY wants to be with her, but he's rejecting her ALL WRONG !
  
  All in all this video is meticulous, mess of insanity and disjointed heartbreak and a little light incest. All the things to make this video a GREAT view for anyone. Sorry for lengthy explanation. Enjoy !
