Too many people reupping the vid with bad quality. Go find a direct download for better sound quality. The FTV-subs' raw is much better, at least,

Though Touhou is a "trend" I'm not familiar with, the praise heaped upon this remarkable work of art is well deserved.

SON, I AM DELIGHT.

No points for guessing what the scouter says about this MAD's power level. ^_^

That's based on the Touhou wiki lyrics, which are both wrong and do not make much sense at all. Here are some proper subs:

I think they used Maya, there is a render module in it called Maya Vector that gives about the same results as in the video, also the cloth simulation looks like they used the nCloth module.
Then they post processed it to do the transitions and stuff.

I don't even care how sexy or cute they are, that video is just astounding.

Absolutely incredible.

Suprisingly some people think of the studio when I mention it probably because TOHO is the studio that makes the Godzilla films.

anyone heard how to get hold of the models used?

I don't know, I thought it all felt kind of plastic. The song was repetetive and reminded me of all other songs that sounds like that (girl singing + lots of generic sound), and the animations wasn't bad, but they didn't really feel alive either.

Probably the greatest music animation I have ever seen in my life. And yes. I came. Several times. All over the place. Now I have to clean it all up T_T

Simply Amazing. I was wondering what 3D software was used for this piece..

Right, I wasn't paying attention. Now that I saw the whole thing from start to finish, it's obvious they were animated 3D models. The broomstick flying looked so natural in the begining it clouded my viewing comprehension :\

But the transitions in particular along with some of the miscellaneous bits (like those smiles) were probably done using vectors. Like you say.

My guess is he used Twixtor Pro for either Premiere or Vegas. You can draw motion at only a few frames per second, and then have the program generate in-between frames using vector processing to smooth it out. After X number of passes you'll have zero duplicate frames within whatever FPS your project is in (so 60 unique frames of motion in a 60 FPS project). Similarly, you can convert NTSC (29.97 FPS) into Double-NTSC (59.94 FPS) to give footage that super smooth look. Only a guess though. - Here's a short clip I made that way myself using about 10 or 12 frames from 0.4 seconds of animation in Princess Resurrection. Notice what was once only a few frames could get extended to about 15 seconds and still feel somewhat natural. I'm not a pro like whoever did this gorgeous Bad Apple, but if you want to see another pro applying this concept, check out the God of video editing Nostromo_vx. That said, whoever did Bad Apple must have drawn all the lines themselves, so holy crap were they devoted (and clearly talented as well) O_O
