This was definitely edited nicely, and I like all the scenes that you choose to showcase their relationship. But even so, the sequence of events jump back and forth so much that the scenes start to feel like stock footage. Although you did a good job at focusing on the characters, it feels like you jut placed your scenes for the purpose of them looking good and syncing well, and not actually for the purpose of telling the story. And so I would have liked to see the video be just a little more coherent and easy to follow. I absolutely love "Your Lie In April", but I'm not sure how much someone would be able to pick up from it if they hadn't already seen the show.

This shit is effin beautiful. Great Anime/Song combo. I really really loved Quiet and still think it should have won everything @VCA. This is a different yet equally beautiful followup. I liked your stuff for a while now but with this you're now one of my favorite editors. Keep it up, man! Keep reaching for the stars!

Absolutely love this vid. I can understand kireblue's opinion but I think the show itself is built on powerful imagery and expression (it speaks for itself) so mixing scenes up in this AMV to me worked better than trying to define a story.

Only real criticism is 2:04 - 2:06. That scene did not belong there because up until that point it seemed like you made a commitment not to focus on story telling but putting this scene there, even to me who has seen the series, makes me think it's there for plot reasons. Think that sort of relates to kireblue's point though I would rather it kept going with random scenes instead of trying to put more focus into the story late into the vid.

Look forward to your future vids and not just because we have similar music tastes :)
