  There really isn't much to say about this video, which is a major departure from my previous videos. My others tend to have lots of little secrets and pretentious shots with special symbolism. This is a silly comedy video about a sociopathic magical girl. Magical Witch Punie-chan (also known as Dai Mahou Touge) is made by the same folks who brought you Dokuro-chan. And that's about all that needs to be said about that.
  
  The song is a cover of You've Got a Friend by Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, a punk supergroup specializing in covers of popular songs that normally have no business having punk covers. And that should cover the music element.
  
  Technically, I don't think I added any new tricks to my editing arsenal, but did really pull out previous lessons learned in my first three videos. Lip synching is masked quite frequently, as with the credits that normally appear in the first "dancing in front of burning temple" scene. Out of necessity, this was also the fastest video to create, with a mere 10 day turnaround, as opposed to the month-long grind of my prior videos. Still, its simplicity, humor and utter lack of subtlety makes it a solid fourth effort.
