I'll just say that it's good. Any more than that would require deep analysis of something that'll probably defy any deep analysis.

[JCD]

GREAT !

So great that I'm out of words now

Absolutely fucking awesome.

I havn't seen a video this original and this awesome in quite some time.

Bravo

[Otohiko]

Excellent and excellently creepy. Among the viable musical alternatives that I hoped and now do see fulfilled in AMV's. Some very good visual work, too (although I can't always tell what of it is yours, and what's is just the source itself since I haven't seen the anime).

The only thing that kinda irritated me is that quite a few parts sounded like my first [tape-based] computer

I've been keeping a close eye on the betas for this, and I am in agreement with Julian. Excellent video I wouldn't even say it's "trippy." It's not like it was made for the sole purpose of f'ing with your head. I dont' really know HOW I would describe it.

Different. How's that?

[Otohiko]

Yea, that's actually the part I liked quite a bit about this. For something that was made with such unlikely [un?]musical source, it really seems to take itself seriously and do a good job of keeping it coherent and artistically-unified.

I would describe it as very counter-intuitive but strangely good-looking.

interesting, but i downloaded the codec to make the video portion work, and i cant tell if it freezes since i get error messages and frozen shots for a few seconds, even after comparing to the local version.

I got no audio for some reason , trying to figured it now

Knowing Trythil, it's probably ogg vorbis.

What codec?

x264 is fairly unstable -- I made the x264 encode available as an experiment. It plays back with my copy of ffdshow (March 3, 2005 build); I know that recent builds of mplayer can handle it as well.

Frozen shots will more than likely happen. My Athlon64 stutters when playing back the x264 encode: AVC is very processor-intensive, and although there do exist relatively mature H.264 implementations, the open-source decoders and encoders aren't entirely optimized yet.

In short: the Matroska file is bleeding edge

If you're playing the local download and are using Windows Media Player, read the video notes. WMP has issues handling 256 kbps MP3 streams.

Thanks

Ryoji Ikeda puts out some really cool stuff. http://www.brainwashed.com/ryoji/ is his home page; check it out

Also, some of his samples come from machinery, so they may indeed sound similar According to AbsoluteDestiny, the startup sound for the Sinclair sampler is also in C2:: cacoepy.

Absolutely fucking awesome.

I havn't seen a video this original and this awesome in quite some time.

Thanks!

The visuals are spectacular.
Excellent. I have enjoyed this video very much. : )

It was very different and creative, both in visual and music integration.
The story-telling was needless to say, awe-inspiring.

Scene1- 世界 / The World
Scene2- 最初 / Opening
Scene3- 殿村望都 / Moto Tonomura
Scene4- 死前 / Last Day
Scene5- 最後 / Conclusion

Scene4 sounds iffy as 死前 is not a real word, like you stated.
最後の日　would translate last day, but I'm assuming you wanted to keep the scene titles within a word, and also with the take that 最後の日　would sound repetitive with the Scene5 title card, "最後.”
You may want to use alternate words for Scenes 2 and 5, and/or replace Scene 4 with something else.

Pairings for opening/conclusion that I would go with:
最初・最後
始まり・顛末
始まり・終わり
For scene 3 Last day:
死の前日　・ The day before death
最後の日　・ The last day

I would go with whatever pairings you feel comfortable with. Or something. |-:


Anyways, you have created a masterpiece that is top-notch art. : )
Brilliant work, trythil!

死の前日　・ The day before death

Thanks! I was trying to avoid particles: from what I saw of Boogiepop and general signage around Japan, particles weren't really in vogue, but I'll take what I can get. (Tell me if I'm wrong about this: I only saw mostly major cities and some of the countryside, and that's not a very good sample.)

I'll go with 死の前日 -- 最後 is, as you noted, used elsewhere, and I prefer the 最初 / 最後 pairing. :)

So weird and so awesome !

I love this concept especially with a such series

Congrats
