• Comments: At first, the idea of this video started out as a testing ground of sorts for me. It was the beginning of a lot of first attempts at effects that I don't usually do, especially rotoscoping moving images. This video was the first time in my entire life that I've actually attempted to try out rotoscoping. A while ago it used to scare me because I heard how time consuming it was and how finicky it can be. Nowadays after finally doing it, I find its not too bad and can actually enhance certain scenes that you want to appear better than the rest. So, I hope for a first attempt that it at least came out pretty decent.
  
  As far as a point for the video, it started off as a representation of the characters from Nanoha, mainly the female ones and how similar they could be to the girls in Touhou. At first, Nanoha and the others feign innocence and appear kind and caring, however, behind all those smiles lies a power-pack of pink laser beams and among other attacks that could wipe out cities. So, in a way, Nanoha and the crew are kind of similar to the girls in Touhou who look sweet and cute, but are actually deadly. This is why most of the video focuses on the action scenes between them fighting with a few spots of cute scenes. I wanted to mostly just sync up with the song and lyrics as much as possible and in a way, it also summarizes the entirety of season two ironically enough.
  
  Overall, I had a lot of fun using the song because of how unique it is and it's not a song you find in AMV's a lot, so its fresh music to listen to even if it doesn't seem like AMV material. My main goal was to create something enjoyable not just for myself, but for everyone. So, I hope people enjoy this little twist of an AMV and its fast-paced, upbeat attitude with crazy action scenes and little girls firing things at each other left and right! XD
