good stuff. I actually didn't have a problem with that rectangle effect, but besides from that, everything that I feel about this AMV has already been said. Great Sync, cool concept and very enjoyable.

Oh wait, there is one thing that I would like to add. The scene at 2:28 was AWESOME :up: Overall, I give this a 4.5/5

Will we ever see an AMV from you without Guu in it? Only time will tell... :awesome:

Seriously though, great stuff, I liked the atmosphere even though Jigoku Shoujo strikes me as a bit cheesy.

@kireblue: Hey I'm glad someone liked that scene :D

@Kosmit: No Guu? Well I haven't gotten bored with it yet :P I did put some effort to sprinkle some cheese into it. The zombie crowd spinning away into the flames at the right sound effect in the song, yeah, that bit just screamed cheesy. I'd originally put it in there as a joke just playing around but it eventually grew on me >_<

I very much approve. Enjoyed it at acen and enjoyed it again here. You got a lot of good stuff out of this series (I'm a bit biased - I worked with it too and found it really frustrating to edit with due to really inconsistent and not-always-so-good animation >__>). Everything here's pretty tight and I rather like the atmosphere.
The Birds are using humanity in order to throw something terrifying at this green pig. And then what happens to us all later, that’s simply not important to them…

@Otohiko I pretty much had a solid concept for the chorus of the song, after that I was just winging it best I could. Also the first season had over 50 clips of just Eyeballs on the screen, I made use of those towards the end of the vid >_>

@Ikore: I didn't time up with the chopped vocals as I thought that would just get annoying. I did however time the extended tones with hellgirl scenes while the beats and synth were timed with the eyeballs, different beat synths got different kinds of eyeballs. Suppose it was a little too subtle to notice. Also, a lot of ppl don’t like my guu credits :P
