This was really lovely and neat and I'd never seen all the use of insets (?)--new to vidwatching. Captivated despite only familiarity with source material being the first volume sof the manga. :-p

oh wow thank you then, for leaving feedback, 'cause most people new to watching seem afraid to. Insets are as good a word as any 'cause I'm stumped myself as to what to call them.

The use of frames within frames was extremely neat: I especially liked the silhouetted-window juxtaposed with the more up-close interactions of red-hair and the orange?-haired woman, and the sequence toward the end where the inside frame cut to a door cut to a larger opening door to the sky.

=D yay! I'm glad you like them! The frames ending up to the door to the sky were almost an accident, I noticed that the door opening to the sky worked well with the music and so kept it and played around with that theme more...

The song had a strong recurring bass/rhythm, and the sequences dissolved/cut/infrramed/??? around it with an interesting variety, using it as a steady backbone, and this worked well for me.

Thank you! That was one of the points where I was nervous 'cause the cutting gets very very fast...

Recurrent punctuation with images of red--the blood-drops, the cut hair, the red-handled scissors, the apples, and that final grace-note of red falling-star. Or maybe my brain simply doesn't like other colors. :-)

XD Actually, I adore that you noticed all those, 'cause actually...red didn't really exist in the anime before I got my hands on it. It was either faded red or reddish orange or (in the case of Gojyo's HAIR) it was pink. ::CRINGE:: after awhile I couldn't stand it any longer and [livejournal.com profile] lierdumoa poked me and was all like "you KNOW how to do it, just do it already!" So I gave in and did.

=) I'm so glad you liked it! And that wasn't really incoherent at all!
