AWA Pro 2013 Reviews
002 - Very pretty indeed. editing was clean and professional. but i didn't connect with the characters at all. however i'm left curious about the anime itself, and the cards...
005 - didn't watch this all the way thru. i got the point about half-way thru. seemed kinda haphazardly thrown together even tho the combo was rather interesting.
004 - i've seen a lot of toradora videos already so this one didn't stand out to me much. the constant zoom outs on almost every scene got a little monotonous, would have been more interesting if you changed it up more.
006 - didn't really "get" it. some of the effects felt unnecessary but that could just be artistic style.
007 - excellent quality, disney never looked so shiny! the editing and the storytelling however felt lazy to me. i think you were so intent on letting the animation do the work that a lot of the clips lost connection with the song (especially during the lip flap). in short, the video and audio didn't feel unified.
008 - what the heck was that? i don't know but i like it!
009 - haaahahaha that audio clip was funny, where'd that come from? oh yeah, well edited, nice job

010 - very intriguing. makes me wanna watch the anime even more. (i will eventually)
011 - lots of great animation and scene selection, but nothing really pulled me in.
012 - i like this one a lot. great job capturing the emotion and unifying song and anime.
013 - WOW those effects were crazy! i started to ignore some text after a while just cuz there was so much of it. i don't wanna work that hard watching an amv XD
014 - i was intrigued by the combo at first, but the subtitles were distracting along with the random japanese script. and then it was over...
015 - >_O that song was a lot longer than it needed to be.
016 - super scary freaky! loved it
017 - thaaaaat was pretty cute. only complaint is the text work could be improved.
018 - meh. that one kinda seemed to only have the shock factor going for it.
019 - i've never seen animation like that... very tim burton
020 - very sentimental and sweet. i didn't really understand the story tho so it was hard to follow along, any longer and i probably would have spaced out.
021 - that song's gonna be stuck in my head for the rest of the day now. good editing, clean transitions, good special fx use. the panning and zooming got a little out of hand tho.
022 - kinda hard for me to judge this one cuz i beta tested another vid to the same song that i adore. good song edit at the end.
030 - issues with aspect ratios. seen this kinda thing before so not really stunning.
033 - the feathered edge effects felt forced and unnecessary. other than that t'was ok.
039 - wait... what? was it a dream?
046 - daaaaamn... this needs to be the official trailer for whatever the hell it is. i was so intrigued i forgot i was judging something.
048 - ohhhh cuteness.
050 - this anime again. what the heck is it? audio quality seemed pretty low but i imagine finding much better would be near impossible.
051 - great idea and a lot of heart. a bit roughly edited and the linear story made it really predictable, also made the scene of hiccup and toothless first bonding seem out of place. a filter of some kind would have been good to differentiate it from the linear story.
068 - OMG how friggen adorable was that!
070 - a unique rendition of flcl for certain. i didn't really understand the point but it was cool to look at.
071 - this one seemed to have real sentimental value to the editor.
074 - first i need to say that these two sources have no business being put together (like fma and backstreet boys). that said, it was actually put together really well and i enjoyed it.
075 - really intense... i had a hard time understanding what was going on tho and i didn't get the point of some of the effects.
078 - i was really intrigued until about half-way through. then the story got a little muddled and i got lost. i didn't understand the significance of the robot at the end.
079 - not sure what to make of this one. anime promoter? opening parody?
080 - GAAAHHHHH I WISH IT WAS LONGER! i loved the mixing of manga, anime AND live action! but then again i love kimi ni todoke so it could just be my bias XD
089 - this anime again? it must be the new thing! this song is very intense and passionate. i didn't really get that from the characters.
090 - this is one of those series where if you haven't seen it you won't have a CLUE what's going on. makes amv making rather difficult unless you make up your own story for it.
095 - ....
097 - such an ironic combination, unfortunately it didn't really work.
098 - a loooootta quality issues in this one. footage was crummy, ratio issues, watermarks, blah blah blah. but there's heart in there, and potential.
101 - edited very well, not my kind of music.
102 - kind of a sudden stop. t'was loose and flowy in the beginning but then got really linear. that movie's hard enough to understand as it is. i would have made it a bit more flighty.
105 - great drama vid, great storytelling.
109 - it's a shame about the footage quality for how much effort went into this.
110 - epic potential for this combo but the proper footage for this monster isn't available yet...
113 - ok that's it i'm buying the song.
115 - nicely done but a lot of reading.
132 - k got a little teary on that one
134 - didn't really understand the story, but there's another entry with the same anime that i didn't really get either so maybe it's the series.
135 - DIVX LOGO!! WOO!
136 - oi ratio and quality issues big time.
138 - this is why i love this contest. where else can you download shit like this XD
140 - good storytelling. not sure how necessary some of the text was but i understand why it's in there.
156 - i hope when the earth ends we'll be accompanied by an unknown source supplying the wub wub wub wub
163 - solid editing, most bizarre combination of sources i've ever seen. song was a bit repetitive and started to drag towards the end. i checked the time a couple times.
167 - pretty, and simple.
