Author's comment: In every human life, supposedly, there's just a single, one-of-a-kind sultry summer. The best summer of his youth, the sultriest of all. What happens afterwards is just a mere reminiscence of this intense, heart-taking experience. With this video I want to take you back to those days of exaltation, of pure ecstatic splendour. Let your mind reactualise the memories stored in the dusty attic of oblivion, fill them with the colours of your newer self and rejoice your heart once again.

Author's comment: So here's my first official CS4 vid as opposed to 7.0. lots of new toys, i see... Oh yeah, SPOILERS. Of course spoilers should be obvious if you know the story of Romeo & Juliet at ALL.

Author's comment: Where every magic girl is a princess, and every princess kicks ass.

The goal here was to create an action AMV because I got it into my head that I should. It's sort of an action AMV, so I'm giving myself partial credit.

Author's comment: I think it's the best Lipsynch I have done so far. Also I tried to put a little choreo in it so that not only the lips match perfectly but also the boys movements fit the song. Try to put attention to that :3

I experienced so far that the video especially is popular with girls. But if you are a boy I think you could also like it. And I experienced that some people think that it is gay. Maybe it is... but just a little bit!!

Author's comment: Steins;Gate was amazing. Definitely anime of the year for me. It had everything I wanted from a series: interesting characters, comedy, drama, GREAT story .... so I just couldn't resist this project. So about what is this AMV? Good question .... it's about ...... LOVE, PASSION AND SCIENCE (and me having good time). But really now, I wanted to make an AMV out of this anime before we get flooded with drama stuff. Steins;Gate got its share of a drama side to it but it is also a fun series and I wanted to show that. Kurisu and Okarin are a dynamic duo that reminds me a bit of Holo and Lawrence from Spice & Wolf.

So yeah, believe it or not, this IS a romance AMV ..... romance by Crossfade that is.

I wanted to have fun editing and toy a bit with the viewer at the same time. AMV is sometimes random but within limits of SCIENCE. The dynamic duo is supported by a great cast of characters from Evangelion, Nichijou and even Back to the future! There are a lot of "hidden" stuff throughout the whole AMV so don't be shy to pause it from time to time :3.

Прототип клипа на Youtube. Можно смотреть до или после, как угодно) Слова там примерно такие:

It's poetry in motion
She turned her tender eyes to me
As deep as any ocean
As sweet as any harmony
Mmm - but she blinded me with science
"She blinded me with science!"
And failed me in biology

When I'm dancing close to her
"Blinding me with science - science!"
I can smell the chemicals
"Blinding me with science - science!"
"Science!"
"Science!"
