Justice for #bestgirl Hina!

I didn't finish this anime until about 2 weeks ago. Parked the last 8 or so episodes for the past 4 months, because Taiki's indecisiveness towards Hina's feelings felt like watching torture.

Then this song popped up on my feed and I decided that I wanted to edit a Hina vid., so I binged the rest and that somehow made me end up using mostly footage from the last 8 eps, cos they were still fresh in my brain. The line that sparked my initial inspiration was "I told the truth, yeah, but you didn't like it". It made me think of their confession scene on the playground. In the first draft, that was actually the intro. And I know that later in the series he says: "It made me happy. I was surprised, but it brought me joy" - about her confession, but I felt like he didn't treat her feelings with the same type of energy. Took him 10 episodes to finally face her earnestly.

I tried to make it seem like the 'rejection scene' is happening real-time by keeping the clips more RAW and the rest (hazy-looking, vignettes, grayscale & sephia) is a mix of flashbacks, memories and daydreams. Some of the scenes look a little 'sharp'. I had to convert every single video file to be able to import it into Sony Vegas and some clips didn't come out that stellar... However, I left it as it is, cos I was in a hurry to get this video out of my system before the inspiration would slip away from me.

It's nothing fancy and I didn't even bother to add transitions for half of the video, but a low-effort edit is still an edit. Might unlist it later, I don't know.
