  This AMV was really a grueling piece of work.. Over the span of about three months, I spent roughly 20 minutes a day on this vid, and those days didn't really amount to much work. I'm very glad that I got through finishing this video, and I hope that it doesn't seem "fragmented". This is due to the fact that I ran out of footage towards the end of the vid, and I used up most of the good scenes for the first minute or so. The story which drives the vid is mainly that of Kenshin and Kaoru's relationship with one another. Kaoru is torn by the fact that Kenshin is a killer, and she feels the need to escape the constant bloodshed which envelopes their lives. But towards the end, they resolve their troubles and find peace with each other. I've tried using moderate effects for emphasizing certain parts of the vid, but sometimes I used them just for fun. I also used many transitions throughout the vid, in order to give it a "flowing feel" to the lyrics, but I'm not sure if it worked out that good.
  
  Thanks to Dcdeveloperx and AisuzuZwei for their support throughout the making of this video. ;)

  Lyrics to "Falls Apart"-
  
  She falls apart,
  By herself
  No one's there to talk or understand
  Feels the sting,
  Dries her eyes
  Finds herself opens the door and sighs
  People see right through you
  Everyone who knew you well
  Falls apart, might as well
  Day is long and nothing is wasted
  
  Runaway, runaway
  Wanna hold on to you but you're going away
  Runaway, runaway
  Wanna hold you tomorrow but you're leaving today
  
  You walk along,
  By yourself
  There's no sound nothing's changing
  They've gone away,
  Left you there
  Emptiness is nothing you can share
  All those words that hurt you
  More than you will let it show
  Comes apart,
  By yourself
  All is well and everything's wasted
  
  Runaway, runaway
  Wanna hold on to you but you're going away
  Runaway, runaway
  Wanna hold you tomorrow but you're leaving today
  
  Sometimes I feel around
  It scares me some I can't be down
  All this time to be on my own
  In is out to be again
  This time will waste another friend
  I know where they will
  Know where they'll runaway
  
  She falls apart,
  No one there
  Hold her hand it seems to disappear
  Falls apart, might as well
  Day is long and nothing is wasted
  
  Runaway, runaway
  Wanna hold on to you but you're going away
  Runaway, runaway
  Wanna hold you tomorrow but you're leaving today
  Runaway runaway
  Hold on to you but you're going away
  But you're leaving today
  But you're leaving today
