• Comments: I love this anime, and I love Akabane x Ginji. The way I figure it, Akabane could never go for someone who couldn't give and take an ass kicking. :) Also, I wanted Ginji to work hard to make Akabane smile.
  
  I was going to have Ginji cry every time the "like a little girl cries" line came up, but it occurred to me that I didn't have to take the lyrics so literally, and I wanted Ginji to "grow" over the course of the video into someone Akabane would totally dig.
  
  Chose the song because it's a little dark but also fun, which is what GetBackers in general is all about, and I thought it fit Akabane and Ginji well.
  
  3rd amv. Yaoi, implied (can be interpreted however you want it) based off the blood = smex concept. This time I actually thought to look up a tutorial, and even though AbsoluteDestiny & ErMaC's Technical Guides to All Things Audio and Video mk2 pretty much turned my brain to mush, I'm grateful I did, because I think this vid is a lot better than the previous ones. Hours and hours of work--Harder to Breathe turned out to be the longest three minutes of my life. lol.
  
  I followed the Guide the best I could when I did the pre-processing and post-processing, but the actual editing was done in Windows Movie Maker, so I sorta had to wing it there, although Scintilla's Guide to Using DVD Footage in Windows Movie Maker 2 helped me to figure out the letterboxing thing.
  
  All in all I liked how it turned out. I think Windows Movie Maker might be the reason *headdesk* was invented, though.
  
  Anyway, hope you like. Feedback appreciated.
