Forsaken

as a deep fan of dream theater and a somewhat otaku, i found this anime music video the perfect bridge of connection between these two worlds. surely, i do believe that this music video will no be appreciated by just anyone, but keep this in mind, i also believe that you don’t have to be a progressive metal headbanger to know how to perceive that “forsaken” is a master piece (yet another one) created by gonzo. the lyrics, written by john petrucci, tells us the story of a somewhat distant love that we are condemned to lose once we attained it. gonzo then makes ... us believe that a 5 minute love story is a one worth living for (although you already know the score – you ought to suffer). this is likely an animation you aren’t familiar with, being gonzo, but, in this americanized musical environment, it works majestically. so, give it a shot, especially if you’re a DT aficionado, and let the wonders of japanese animation fly you throughout the world and let yourself live a lifetime in just 5 minutes, because you’ve got no time to spare. remember, this is not a happy ending!

The art looked like it could have been assembled by sorting "most recent" on DeviantArt. The song is repetitive and lacks any unique qualities. It's just some guy yelling forsaken. He's in love with a vampchick or something and she bites him and he gets a boner. So what. Then she dies, spoilers. You might have had a wet dream like this in middle school. All the zooms in the editing are very bad and funny. Even though I didn't laugh, I was amused at how shit everything was. But it isn't offensively the worst thing in the world. I hate the requirement on how ... long these reviews have to be.
