Karakuri Babble is a daily column by the editors of i360.com, usually on topics tangentially related to anime and cosplay.

In the past we have endorsed many things; in the future we shall support many others.

Sometimes it seems like I spend all my time watching progressively-more-bizarre videos on YouTube. This is another Yume Nikki video, based on a Hatsune Miku video, and it's totally great.



There are a lot of subtle references to the game, like the light switch in the beginning, or the way Madotsuki pinches her cheek at the end. It's little touches like that that distinguish these videos from each other, making them into unique and compelling works rather than mindless iterations of the same sequences.

I can't tell you how many Caramelldansens I've watched.
