• Comments: Well this video was a giant pain in the kaboodle.
  
  Here's as to why. Firstly, i was struck with this idea while i was in the middle of making an ouran vid.. i hate it when that happens, cause right then i must stop working on that video and work on my NEW idea cause otherwise ill lose motivation. Secondly, halfway through finished this video, Funi goes and announces they've LISCENCED the show. Well, thanks, you really could have announced it BEFORE i was halfway done the freakin video, so i was stuck with crummy fansub footage. Thirdly, this was my first time filtering and compressing an amv by myself. In MPEG4. Ive never had such a big headache reading a guide before. I still dont get what half of it bloody means. Fourthly (is there such thing as a fourthly?), lack of good footage dangit. The only good Psychotic!Kaede scenes are in maybe 3 episodes, so i had to improvise with the lack of good freakin footage (which was the reason i had to cut the song). I greatly apologize for some random scenes you might encounter throughout the video. And LASTLY, after finishing compressing, filtering, cropping, and all that jazz, when i watch it through the final time, i notice the credits image at the end is cropped! FWAGHFLKHFSO @_@; my dog got to watch Chii go berserk at the monitor. I think i've scarred her for life, sorry Sammi D=
  
  Anyways enough ranting. You're probably wondering.. (or maybe you're not..) why the heck did Chii make a SHUFFLE! amv? Chii doesn't even like SHUFFLE! (or talking in third person). However after seeing a boochsack amv of Shuffle i remembered how i used to watch this series and laugh at the first 18 episodes because it was so retarded. Then i remembered the only good thing about Shuffle, Psychotic!Kaede. Kaede amuses me frankly, and i pity her for not ending up with Rin in the end, because frankly (frankly is a cool word yo), she was the only girl in the show who deserved him, with all the bullcrap she had to put up with. So i came across this song (courtesy of Takefuji-nee) and the idea was fixed in my head so i went ahead and started editing.
  
  Technicality-wise, Chii compressed this video in lovely MPEG-4, but added a bazillion unimportant filters while using avisynth so you get some lovely giant pixels at the beginning of the video! Lucky you. I think the MP4 filters screwed with the grainy effect at the beginning. -__-;; luckily for me im not too picky with quality (although eventually i will be after noticing every giant pixel in my amvs) and i think it looks absolutely fine, and much better than it would look in xvid. In order to play the MPEG-4, you need either the CCCP codecs or handy-dandy VLC Player in order to play the bugger. For those who just plain cant play MP4s for whatever reason, ill upload a first pass higher filesize suckier quality xvid for you guys later.
  
  Please take note if you're actually interested in seeing Shuffle!, this show is filled with a buttload of spoilers from eps 19-22, 23 ish. Im sorry, no Emo!Asa or Schizophrenic!Sia.
  
  Lyrics
  I feel it everyday it's all the same
  It brings me down but I'm the one to blame
  I've tried everything to get away
  So here I go again
  Chasing you down again
  Why do I do this?
  
  Over and over, over and over
  I fall for you
  Over and over, over and over
  I try not to
  
  It feels like everyday stays the same
  It's dragging me down and I can't pull away
  So here I go again
  Chasing you down again
  Why do I do this?
  
  Over and over, over and over
  I fall for you
  Over and over, over and over
  I try not to
  Over and over, over and over
  You make me fall for you
  Over and over, over and over
  You don't even try
  
  So many thoughts that I can't get out of my head
  I try to live without you, every time I do I feel dead
  I know what's best for me
  But I want you instead
  I'll keep on wasting all my time
  
  Over and over, over and over
  I fall for you
  Over and over, over and over
  I try not to
  Over and over, over and over
  You make me fall for you
  Over and over, over and over
  You don't even try to
  
  Enjoy! ^_^
