How is this video not getting more attention?

Really cool stuff overall, chambeyc. I wasn't into some of the effects you were using, but in general I liked the atmosphere they gave the video. Oh and you win for using this song. Nice work.

Digital masterpiece of art. Yet, the effects took away from the overall telling of the story, IMO. 4.25/5

I wasn't really into the effects mostly because it simply were fractal structures attached with blending modes, nothing too cool.
editing was rather okay, though not breathtaking...
pretty decent vid tho

6/10

Hmm...the only thing that really bothered me about this video was the circular shaped mask that you used for most of the video. It left me feeling like I was maybe missing out on the full parts of the video, which I would have enjoyed considering I've never seen this series before. So I felt that I had a very limited field of vision of most of this video. Which is fine if it was around certain objects or people of significance to the video, or at least more directly around them, but it wasn't. It was just a circular shape that didn't allow me to enjoy or make use of the rest of the screen. Other than that I would say this is decent overall.

3.75/5

ooo very interesting AMV and presentation, really enjoyed it, don't really like the effect used from about ~1:12 though but the rest felt refreshing and the first half was my fave of the video 8/10

Reigna showed me this video

Wow. This was unexpectedly awesome; the effects were really cool and really unique, and the video just had such a nice flow to it. Great storytelling too, and some of the best editing I've seen in recent memory. Awesome video, 5/5

Well, I guess i've used too much fractal there, and i first thought the same when checking the final version of the video for the first time ^^". Yet i thought back then that it contributes well to the mood of the video, so i eventually decided to keep them as-is.
But concerning the circular shaped mask, it indeed close a bit the vision field, and now i think too i should have put it in a different way.
