PLEASE READ! IMPORTANT! :)

May 25 2009 - Thanks to the cosplay group at AB '09 for doing a wonderful tribute to this video at the masquerade! Everyone make sure to check it out in the video response! They did great. :)

Since YouTube's conversion severely messed up the quality and makes it hard to see anything at all, let alone the text, please use the high quality trick by clicking this link here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyVONYS2wRk&fmt=6

(As of right now, the link doesn't seem to be working, so please just click "watch in high quality" below the video to see it in higher quality. ^^)

You'll be able to see it much better! Basically what you do is type "&fmt=6" (without the quotes) at the end of the YouTube address above and it plays the video back at a higher bitrate, making it higher quality (if it doesn't work try "&fmt=18" but it generally doesn't play back as smooth). :) You'll know you did it right if you see "Watch in normal quality" underneath the video.

You can download an extra high quality version as well as view a detailed description about the video here:

(Please do not re-post it on YouTube. I'd really appreciate it a lot if no one does that! ^^) At that link along with a high quality downloadable version and a detailed description, you will find information about the video itself, details on it's two month creation, and also some fun facts while it was in the making. ^_^
