-AMV- Freesia [GB]

I finished watching the anime series GetBackers ("GetBackers 奪還屋") last night. It was quite a lovely, poignant series that I've absolutely adored. There was a lot of really interesting threads that wove into a plot; also, it was a series that was hilarious yet serious, making me laugh and cry at the same time. I found a lot of thought-inspiring moments in the series, that might inspire philosophical discussion... or, so I think. But, I'll find time to talk more about it later.

One of my favourite plot-threads, so to speak, is the relationship between Fuuchouin Kazuki and his friend, Kakei Juubei. Their situation such a touching, heart-wrenching thing that does plenty to outline the cruelty of the world that the characters, and we, exist in, and their relationship shows how redemption, kindness, and forgiveness can be found even in such a terrible world.

So, I made a quick little video last night, using some scenes from their first episodes together that I felt epitomized the essence of their relationship. Gackt's beautiful instrumental, "Freesia ~Op. 2~" fit the mood very well.

Please, enjoy. :) Feedback is always appreciated.


P.S. In floriography, freesia stands for reverence, respect, honour, and innocence.
