And for anyone who is not familiar with one or both sources:

This is a perfect simulation of a viewer's mental state after watching Look Around You *or* Penguindrum.

Somebody gets it.

I have no idea what I just watched but I know it was completely amazing. I forgot I was watching a vid and just had an EXPERIENCE. This is something else. (In a good way!)

From:

laura47

that was an intense experience, yo. good work.

From:

ghost_lingering

Holy shitfuck this is amazing in all the ways. "We're using an egg" AND THEN THE PENGUIN CRACKS THE EGG ON ITS HEAD. OMG. I have no idea what to say to this. The frog (toad?!) at the end. I love it. I WANT THE SEQUEL.

From:

I love how surreal this is, and your matching of the visuals and soundtrack is inspired. I think my favourite section was Ghosts, because it was creepy and funny at the same time, but all of it is glorious.

From:

valoise

Incredible, unusual and fantastic!

From:

skygiants

after so many years I had managed to unsee the frog

BUT I WILL NEVER AGAIN UNSEE THE FROG

(Have you worked out what we're looking for? The answer is: no, and neither has anybody else who watched the show. BUT THIS VID IS A BRILLIANT SUMMATION OF THAT FEELING.)

From:

I've been trying to formulate coherent feedback for this for two days now, aside from just shouting PERFECTION at you. It's absurd and heartbreaking and absolutely spot on tonally for this show. Such an unexpectedly great match of source and audio.

Good god, that frog.

From:

bingeling

THIS IS SO UNBELIEVABLY COOL! I CAN'T GET OVER HOW COOL THIS IS!!!!

What a trippy, wonderful experience. You did a mighty marvelous job matching audio and video and it created a funny and creepy and badass dreamscape. Surreality at its best.

MARRY ME, FESTIVIDDER!

From:

I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED BUT THEN I PRESSED PLAY AND MADE IT HAPPEN 3 MORE TIMES.

This is beautiful. I have a penguin journal now. YES TRY ON THE HAT AGAIN AND AGAIN.

...THAT PENGUIN WITH THE EGG! /semi-coherent flail ... am I a ghost now?

eta: holy toadfrog. "generic video title" IDK if you named it that or yt just suggests that, but A++++++++

I don't know what it is, but it's brilliant.

From:

purplefringe

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT JUST HAPPENED but I REALLY enjoyed it :-D :-D Particularly the toad at the end. And the penguin with the egg. What IS this show?! :-)

From:

sanguinity

OMG. I am pretty sure that I never, ever, ever want to see either the audio source or the video source -- there is only so much surreality my brain can handle -- but your combination of the two, and the execution thereafter, is quite obviously inspired.

From:

echan

WHAT. This was ... I really don't know what this was, aside from a glorious spectacle of magical hilarity. "It fits" indeed!

From:

rhoboat

I'm not even sure what's going on but this was really charming and quirky, and I liked it.

(Really, could elaboration describe my reaction more fully? I think not. But I am impressed at how lovely and clear your image and sound quality were, the better to deliver the WHATTHEFUCKISTHIS unfettered by any distractions.)
