Hope's Embrace

This was my submission for AWA's professional contest this year. I'm so happy about my first win at this con. It's not my best work, but it was still very exciting. I had such a good time at the con and enjoyed meeting the other editors. You guys are so nice and so awesome XD

This is one of my favorite animes to edit. I love this song too. I had lost inspiration for the video a couple of times, but I eventually picked it back up again and finished it.
I know the story is a bit confusing in this AMV. To make it more clear: When the girl(Yuko) was young, she was living in an orphanage. The older guy is the girl's abusive adopted father. I'm not 100% sure in the anime, but it's implied that he is sexually abusive towards her as well. She meets this boy(Yuu) and they eventually fall in love. Same old, same old. Yuu tries to help get her away from her bad environment. But the second girl(Nagi) is also in love with the Yuu, so there's a love triangle as well.
