Author's comment: Let me clarify right now and say i didn't make this video to be innovative. I made it for my love of Lord of the Dance. Simple as that.
I really gotta say, of all my videos Lord of the Anime has definitely received the most thoughts and opinions on complete opposite ends of the spectrum. i've had several comments saying it's absolutely brilliant, while plenty have said WTF? That being said, you really have to decide for yourself how you feel about this video. some have gloriously accepted what i've done here, and others think it's downright blasphemy. you choose how you feel.
There are several elements of the Lord of the Dance i wish i could have included in this project. But my purpose was to glorify Miyazaki's animation and to use the Dance as an enhancer. but at the same time, i wanted to give Lord of the Dance exposure to an audience who may easily enjoy it. (i fell in love the first time i watched it.) If you enjoy this video, i strongly recommend you purchase the DVD and/or the soundtrack. It all takes on a much more intense feeling when you can actually hear the taps of the dancers overlaying the music.
