I don't have much I care to say about this. A couple months ago I started toying with the idea for a new (for me) project that would involve a different approach to the hobby altogether. I had originally envisioned making this an extension of my CrackTheSky account, but eventually decided to go in a different direction and create an entirely new channel to explore that new style. You can find a link to that new channel below. While that idea was still in its very early stages, I edited this video to serve as the first thing that would be released in this new style, but it ended up feeling too similar to what I would normally edit under my CrackTheSky alias, so it goes here.

I didn't watch this OVA, but in making clips from it to edit with I was able to figure out what it was about and decide that it probably really, really sucks. I love this animation style though, especially the character designs, and I can almost guarantee you've never seen another AMV that uses it, so give me some points for novelty, huh? I hope you still have fun watching it, it's not something I'm greatly fond of but I must like it enough to release to the world, otherwise you wouldn't be reading these words ;)

Technical notes:
Edited in Sony Vegas 8.0. This was a really fast edit, I spent max 7 hours on it, probably less. Definitely a quick-fix kind of thing, but that's all it was ever meant to be.
