Really awesome. I always dug the silhouette/solid color style of art. This is the kind of video I've always wanted to make but just didn't have the patience to do all the masking. Props, yo.

I don't know if this was an artistic choice, but I felt a lot of the motions were jerky. I would've like to have seen more smoothing/easing on those keyframes.

Anyways, :up: :up:

wow May!!! very very nice effects!! I can see you worked a lot on this o.o I like the effects, but after some time I felt like there was too much text and not too much scenes from the anime >.< and also I think it could have had more dynamics, some parts felt kind of slow, but overall very nice work! congrats! :3

Could finally finish this video, after so long I guess you were glad to learn that he was finally ready, haha.
I must admit that I love this video, the colors, the typography and sync are very good. It is a very good video to pass the time and enjoy watching it, personally the song is not my favorite but ... I like the song together with this amazing video.
Great job Aimo! :up: :up: :up:

I really liked Good Times so I was looking forward to seeing another typography video from you. And while the sync in this one might be a little bit off at times you proved that typography is your forte and also that it is what makes you a unique editor. I'm looking forward to your next vid. :up:

I haven't modified the speed/velocity of any of the scenes so it's most likely something already present in the anime itself. I do see your point though because when I was creating the compositions, it felt like there were too few frames for some of the scenes I was masking. I also considered editing the whole thing in 29fps so the text motions would look nicer but I was too lazy to re-convert the source. XD Thank you for enjoying the video though!

Hahaha! I actually wanted less scenes from the anime and more text/effect wise but I kinda ran out of good ideas that fit. :( Thanks Heni!

Yeah I'm so glad I released it because now I can't go back and change stuff so I no longer need to feel bad about being lazy and not making some sections better. xD It's the same with me, Marina's songs didn't really stick first time but after some replaying.....it's stuck horribly. XD

It's probably my most time consuming project to date. >__< And the horrible part is I have an idea that will take even LONGER than this one. D: I'm happy you liked it though! ^^ Makes the time I spent working on this worthwhile.

Ooo Good Times was definitely one of my favourite edits so I'm really glad you liked that! And being someone who loves typography, I'm happy to hear that my typography work is one of my strong points. ;__; It really does make me very happy.

Wow that's a really good compliment from you! Especially since I didn't think you were the type to like or enjoy such heavy candy styled videos. XD Thanks Animated!

Good stuff. I liked it. I can't really say anything else that hasn't already been said already. Major points for fun technical and creative editing. Lipsync is blah blah blah, but its a minor point overall, cause the rest is totes fun.

Loved this. I usually hate kinds of videos like this because they are mostly done very poorly, but this was one of the rare instances of it being done very well and professional looking. It was my favorite in all of the AWA Pro videos.
