I am luring you over to the dark side. Is it working?
The one I saw, btw, was about as accessible as you can get and had the entire room laughing.
It's one of my favorite anime vids, but I really didn't think it would be accessible to the non-anime watcher. I thought that you'd need to know at least a bit about the sources to get the commentary on anime relationships. I should've remembered the First Lesson of Anime Vids: some things are truly universal.
Thank you for confirming that the characters are often manipulated into singing the song. That was not anywhere near as disorienting as it should have been.
That vid has one of the best uses of lip sync I've seen, just because it totally works; the singing really isn't disorienting the way it sometimes can be. I wonder if that has something to do with the long spoken intro, or if it's just, you know, Absolute Destiny's genius shining through.
You're probably right that the funny is a factor, though. (We still say, "You mean you wish you were a lesbian" all the time in this house. It's one of those phrases that just cannot be overused, is what we're finding.)
