Original description:

At its heart, Borders is focused on Friend A joining a gang but still somehow remaining himself, and Friend B going to “save” friend A, but instead winds up addicted to drugs and turning into a coldhearted killer (Whether Friend B actually kills people or the montages are just metaphors for how bad drugs/trips are is for the audience to decide).

That being said, I made two versions of the video. One with text, and one without. The text version has text basically navigating you through the story. Some dialogue but mostly narration. I tried to keep it as short and vague as possible so it could help anybody relate.

I added text mostly as my own foray into a video with text, since I always wanted to do one. I think Borders stands well enough on its own, however, so consider the text an ‘extra’ feature, if you’re so inclined to download that version.

The real story behind the border is I got pretty into this anime, but the only version I could get my hands on had watermarks and subtitles. The borders were created to cover that up.
