• Comments: This is the first AMV I have made that has been made available to the public. I got the idea when I was high on Kanon (Mai), and happened to listen the song, coming up with the title. It was an awful idea so I let it go. When (Finnish) Animecon AMV-competition was coming up, and I was prompted to participate by the people that came to be my betatest team, I decided to go with it anyway.
  
  The length of the song brought some problems, since rules for the competition did not allow the AMV to be longer than 5 minutes. Luckily I got shorter version of the song from Sivis.
  I started editing this AMV few weeks before the deadline for the competition, and the pace was pretty slow at the beginning, so I had to rush it for two days before to competition to get it to be semi-watchable. Finally, it was (surprisingly) approved for the competition.
  I made a few small fixes after the deadline, so this is not the same version that was shown at the 'con.
  
  The basic idea was mainly for the title only and the song (effectively) lacks lyrics, so I had lots of room to play with. I ended up making a short story as a base, and building on from it. The story is different than in the series itself, it's based on Mai and her bitches (Sayuri and Ky...Yuuichi) and is very poor.
  
  All this being said, I think it's not very good. Even disregarding the fact that it's based on it's title, it has numerous problems, which I couldn't solve with my skills. In fact, I doubt I would have finished it without some help and orientating opinions from betatesters. But, even if it's not as good as it could be, I think it is good enough to not be brutally deleted.
