Ok, watched it. Overall It was an alright MEP, but didn't really impress me. First of all, the quality sucked (I hope the mp4 version is gonna look much better) and I hated the transitions between the tracks. I dunno, putting the Track Info Into the Mep was kinda ugly :/ It also seperated the Tracks too much from each other.

Code: Select all

1. Bleeds No More - ZetZu - Tenjou Tenge
The Track was overall ok. It felt like it didn't have enough power though, especially most of the screaming parts didn't feel right.

2,8/5

Code: Select all

2. The Ides of March - DaCoolGohan - Karas 
It just seemed odd. Maybe Karas was the wrong anime Choice, but the editing didn't seem like anything special to me either (first Disapointment from DCG? uhoh...)

2/5

Code: Select all

3. Hear Me Out - Apple - Rozen Maiden 
I disliked the flashes, Blurrs and other effects used. Some of the Scenes also stayed for too long. It wasn't too bad though.

2,5/5

Code: Select all

4. Giving Up - OnyX DragoN - When they Cry
One of the Most enjoyable Tracks in this mep :D I lub the Synching, The fade outs and FX worked pretty. It felt a little "empty" in a few parts though.

4/5

Code: Select all

5. Defend You - Torankusu - Dragonball Z
There were a lot nitpicks that annoyed me, but I still like this Track overall.
I hate the way it starts off though, It felt very weird. Then the Part with the Borders comes in. I like the borders, but the white flashes in there were just annoying and threw it off :/ Then when That Part ends and the song starts to build up Power (in the mep from 3:48 - 3:53), there should have been something to fit this "going crazy" of the song..but no..Just plain scenes ~_~ Then the powerfull part was awesome (Scene Flashing at 4:02 would have looked awesome though, too bad you just have a plain scene there).

3/5

Code: Select all

6. If You Could See Into My Soul - Fuze - The Bleach Movie 
The Track was nicely edited, but Just kinda boring. Nothing special :(
And The Wrong Aspect ratio bugged me.

2,4/5

Code: Select all

7. My Heroine - Arashinome - FLCL 

It was ok, but the Blurrs were annoying. You overdid them pretty much (EYE SORE!)

2,5/5

Code: Select all

8. Red Light Pledge - ZeroLink - Animatrix
So This was definitally the best Track in the whole MEP. I love the Feeling this Track has. Perfect Expression of Mood and Feeling of the song. I don't really want to say more, because I don't have anything to nitpick on this one.

5/5

Code: Select all

9. Discovering the Waterfront - Dragon/Roy - Kenshin OVAs 
The Slow Part was ok, but nothing special either. The More powerful part of the song was choppy and boring. Pretty much Disliked this Track.

1,8/5

Code: Select all

10. Smashed Into Pieces - ShadowNOS - Full Metal Alchemist
I liked this Track a lot. I love the Transitions between the Scenes (especially liked the match cut in the beginning). Love the way it fits the lyrics and the synch was damn sweet. Also one of the few tracks that expressed the Screaming right.

4,8/5

Code: Select all

11. November - ExSphere - Elfen Lied 
Imo this is the worst Track in the mep. Lots of synching was off, unfitting FX and not the feeling of the song nor the emotions from the anime were there. Sorry bro, but it sucked.

1/5

Code: Select all

12. Smile In Your Sleep - Arashinome - Cowboy Bebop 
Sweet Track, I liked it. Ina few little parts some of the timing looked off though and I felt you could have varied your way of synching a bit more, but I enjoyed it.

3,7/5

Code: Select all

13. Last Days of Summer - K1ngDavid - Gundam 
Very sweet Track, only Things that bugged me were that some of the transitions between the scenes seemed odd and that..once again.. The Screaming wasn't expressed right, still very sweet and ejoyable.

3,9/5


<i>Overall: </i>3/5

This could have been a lot better if it wasn't for the quality. We rushed it and this is the result. Also, fix the aspect ratio on my track. -_- AND the transitions.

Oh, kewl, it's finally finished. I'm getting this... will comment later. 8-)

Edit: This was very kool. But I think the transitions between the songs/tracks could've been done better and the quality could've been better, too. Uhm, my fave tracks would be like the FMA, Animatrix and Cowboy Bebop one. So overall, this is a really nice MEP and I'd rate it a 3.5/5 ... good job guys. :up:

I find all their songs to be relatively boring. The MEP itself was pretty cool. Good job, guys.
