Story
was as plain as the title. Masking of emotion and wanting others take notice. I suppose mostly relate-able to when one was in school and trying to fit in with their own form of self image.

Art
Even though this film has some color it is mostly black and white. Not because they couldn't afford the extra coloring it is because the black and white setting works with the negative mood. When the colors do enter the picture they are not there to make your eyes happy but for a more symbolic meaning of importance and clarity.

Also, what on earth caused the ... creators to go for a shaky camera take is unclear to me. Perhaps, it was under the misguided impression that it would boost animation and go along with ideal that the main character's mood is on the brink of erupting. If that last one is the case i would understand the judgement call and applaud. Although, as nice of a message as that would give shaky anything is annoying. You don't really see anyone begging for earthquakes do you?

Sound
I Feel along with the tempo the words were a bit fast paced. It is understandable pace given the frantic freakout mood the main character is in but to follow along the first time couple times is pretty hard. I suggest listening to it about 10 or so times to grasp the full effect.

This is an AMV of the song Antinotice of Akena Aki (Music genre: Hardpop ish? I dunno)

I would like to point out one thing.... WHY THE HELL THOUGHT THAT SHAKY CAMERA THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE AMV VIDEO WAS A GOOD IDEA? Pls point out that person, I will like to fire a arrow to his/her knee.
Really it ruined everything for me, it throw my attention away from the song and the video itself.
So be prepared.
Anything besides that was somewhat descent but nothing really was standing out.
- The lyrics are good but doesn´t really been out something new, or at least not for me which isn´t ... a bad thing per se because the point made in this video is quite important. Antinotice is about putting your facade up, seing how nobody notice how your facade dissapears, noone really caring for you, noone wanting to help you... or something along those lines, there were still some things that I didn´t quite get.
- the animation itself was okay, it did the job and was interesting if you OVERLOOK the shaking effect.
- The music, depending on your taste, it was okay but nothing really memorable for me :)

So should you go watch it? Not really, the shaking effect ruins everything, or at least it did for me :)
