• Comments: My real first stab at a true romance video. Edited in WMM.
  
  I put weeks into this, and I hope that it shows. There was a lot of quickly having to "rewatch" older series, and a lot of thought into scene placement. Every tear, every blink, hug, kiss, cherry blossom, and even streaks across the sky --- I worked hard to sync it to even the smallest hints in the music. I hope that some of it shows through.
  
  I wanted a video full of emotion: love, hope, sadness, loss, wistful, and yearning. I hope that at the end of the video people want to hug or kiss someone, or at least emotionally took something from the video. Whether or not I succeeded, I'm not sure. It's hard because I know the context around the scenes in the anime, and in the video most are taken out of context. In the end, I hope it feels powerful even if the anime vary, and the characters vary
  
  I also wanted to span a wide time frame of anime: old and new. There were so many more I wanted to include: Kenshin, Ranma, etc, but as it is, it's kinda full ;)
