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!)

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.

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.

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.)

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.

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!

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.

(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.)

So surreal and weird and fun, I love it. And there's this strange sense of wonder in it, too. Also, your credits are great.
