Notes:

If you've got a hankering for some pre-Web-2.0 nostalgia, and (like me) you have a sense of humor that favors the random and the absurd, then this may be the AMV for you. But first, let me set the scene...

The year is 2006. The North American animé market is booming, Konami's Dance Dance Revolution franchise is enjoying huge success in America, and a genre of Flash animations known as Animutations (with their own wiki, for those of you who wish to learn even more) have been spreading hilarity across the Internet for some time.
Amidst this backdrop, Scintilla decides to start on his most ambitious AMV yet, one that will bridge the gap between AMVs and Fanimutations (by using a DDR song, with which he has had good luck in 2005) and hopefully result in something that can be enjoyed by connoisseurs of both genres.

As it turns out, 2006 was to come and go without any new videos by Aquiline Studios whatsoever.

Fast-forward seven years. After failing to come up with anything decent in time for Otakon 2013, and knowing that his AMV plan for Otakon 2014 is even more massively ambitious, Scintilla FINALLY finishes this accursed video that's been sitting unfinished on his computer all this time, just in time for the AWA Expo.

After you've watched the video, you can find the explanations for all of the jokes (since I expect nobody to get all of them) at the video's information page on A-M-V.org.
