wait a sec :uhoh: I thought the girl was the last vampire? Didn't they explain that in the movie? It's been way too long since I've seen it.

I agree on the guitar solo part, it kinda dragged down, even if it showed more tension than the rest of the vid. I really liked how you ended the vid
4/5 good stuff as always :up:
...and I probably coulda made it crazier if there was more footage, so I settled for that camera movement thing... which I think produces a new feel in itself, and I might incorporate it more in other vids.
the ending took more time than I thought it would, but totally worth it :D

glad you liked it.

The editing was interesting as can always be expected from you, and I loved the intensity and fast cuts every which way. Nothing spectacular, but definitely a good Phan video :up:
4/5
hahaha, yeah 8-) I expected that. Yay for different editing styles ;P
Thanks.

They totally didn't explain anything in the movie :(
I think it was supposed to remain a mystery, and when I searched around, there were a lot of different opinions on it. Most people agree that Saya is the last <i>true</i> vampire... as for what that makes the other things... um... non-true vampires?? :uhoh: -------->

And so follows lots of bloodshed and violence with Saya gruesomely dispatching the fearsome creatures left, right and centre.

This is the very basic premise of this anime release from Manga Video. The anime is startlingly good, it has to be admitted, and the audio is vibrant and powerful. Sadly, though, it's ultimately all hot air. The story doesn't really involve the viewer and it seems rather more like an excerpt from a longer film as it runs for a relatively short 46 minutes. There is no explanation as to who Saya is, or where she originates from. The only clue given is that she is the 'last original', and from this we assume that she is vampiric herself.

The story itself doesn't dig deep enough into how this situation has arisen, with vampires roaming the earth that need destroying. It's a bizarre little film indeed that doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Some reviewers believe that the 'vampires' are little more than symbolic representations of the American presence in Japan. A strange view, but an interesting one nonetheless.

This is all high-velocity entertainment with very little substance, but it's an enjoyable ride even though one is left feeling a little dissatisfied at its conclusion.

Hated the song as well, but the editing made up for it. Only complaint was that it felt a little long and a bit repetitive. Definitely still good stuff overall. Nice work. :up:

Song kinda ruined it for me as well, but it was a good video overall.
I love to wear absurd and totally impractical garments. What's more, I derive great pleasure from spending time with women for no apparent reason.
