OK, this has been really tough but I have track assignments done. I've matched up things as best I could according to source, idea, and editor style.
One quick note, I'm not a natural leader, to have a bunch of people put their trust in me to make this happen and to see that their efforts are not wasted is not something I take lightly. Given this I was a bit nervous about the track assignments, both in terms of people getting a chance to be a part of this project and the final quality of the piece. Then I remembered something: When this project started out we had no grandiose plans for a groundbreaking plot-based MEV. We said, here is a song that deserves a video, and since none of us can do it individually, we will do it together. That is something to think about when you get too concerned about how this is all going to turn out.
Without further ado:

Bum – I know this was low down on your list of choices, probably because it’s so busy, but it also has some rare dynamic contrast and I think it will work with your subject matter.
Themaan – I know this is a large section and your mostly interested in the beginning. The organ section is tricky to work with (always reminds me of Hellsing personally.) If I can’t get someone else to help out here I could cut a piece out of the song.
Toji and Songbird – since this part is so different musically it can stand to be a bit actiony. You can split it up either way you want. The first half is sparse, the second half is more busy. I had Songbird on the second half because I know she is good at advanced synching. (Also Songbird, it would probably work better if you just choose one anime instead of having a bunch, Naruto seems well suited to the tone of that section because of it’s nice dark scenes. The others don’t seem like they would work as well.)
Jasper-Isis – You have a really solid idea, can’t wait to see it in action.
BMA – You have a crazy section and what sounds like a crazy anime, let’s see how you put them together. Don’t sweat the deadline (which we in fact do not yet have) I’ll give you plenty of time to do it.
Character profiles – I’ve decided to split this up into 3 or 4 (depending if you want to make the split at 6:50) very short sections that will be open to people who expressed interest in the project but didn’t get one of the main sections. (I’m thinking Cless, Greenjiro, Bakadeshi, AMV_400, godix, etc.) These are very loose and quick segments so they don’t require a lot of commitment.
I’m going to start talking to AD about getting a little more hosting space. If not we can probably fit it in the 100 Mb limit without sacrificing too much quality.
If you have any questions or concerns, bring them up right away so we can deal with them while the situation is still relatively malleable.
