Giving this mad props. That was some awesome use of transitions and effects

Only thing (And I hate to say it) is that I couldn't get a feel for it.

I approve Saycet for the outro

The number is the one at the end of your video "profile" link

Anyway great vid.
Seeing yours and many other mixing animes to create their own story, I have to admit AMVs has become real technical stuffs lately... not necesarily a good thing but whatever. One of the best vids I've seen in a while.

This vid is amazing piece of art. I love you style

Until BC is over, I'll leave my impressions later. Seems someone did justice to the crossover style again

[Centurione]

Purely amazing

I'm just a sucker for crossovers. In Terminis and your amv are definitely the two best releases this year that I've seen.
I would go in depth, but there really is no need, I'd be pointing out every single second of the amv and just talking about how good it is. Also, this the only good Ao no Exorcist amv ever made, honestly.
I applaud your hard work. (:

Already posted a huge reply to this on youtube, and AMVnews.
Not much to say, just amazing. I'm hoping this might win this year, 4 months of work you say? Looks longer than that. xD The outcome was worth it.
Best AMV I seen all year, outstanding job. I'm really looking froward to seeing you're future videos now.

I really liked it, good job, the use of the colours is really nice and most of your incrustation are awesome. Though of course some are a bit off. But yeah really cleaner than your previous work, so I'm watching it and I'm looking forward for your next creation! Good luck in the contest =)

I can't even begin to comprehend the amount of work that went into this. >__>

It's stunningly beautiful. The composition of each scene, from the mask to the background scene selection to the colouring then the additional glow and particle effects, just wow. It really brings out the story in the video, just gorgeous.

Also looking at your making of picture....did you animate 2 of the scenes in the AMV from scratch yourself? If so, you did an excellent job. When I first saw the AMV (without looking at the making of picture) I knew you did a lot of composing for the heads/bodies with the one I could recognize the most easily being the kimono from Kara no Kyoukai but after a while I was convinced some were from the show and was like "....since when did Ao no Exorcist have these scenes?!" Very impressive technical work indeed.

Only minor complaint I have, like others have already mentioned is the mood. Sometimes it's there but sometimes it isn't, so it kinda felt like it was flickering back and forward at a few points. But since it's not really a major issue I wouldn't take this to heart too much. XD Anyway the AMV was beautiful. I really enjoyed it.
