I suppose this would be my 2nd 'serious' attempt at a romance, I finally watched this anime I've been sleeping on. Quite good, much feels..
Feedback is appreciated ・ㅂ・

Coming from somebody who hasn't seen the Anime. This was a interesting character profile. Anime and Song certainly match. I just didn't get the story all the time if there even was one. This seemed more about just showing the characters in different moments. And for that it worked. In the middle it felt a bit undersynched. But i think i have a pretty good idea now of what this Anime is about.

This was a lot of fun to watch. There's some great movement and atmosphere in this, especially in the beginning--though I have to agree that the middle felt pretty slow in comparison (most of 1:55-2:28 was nice on it's own, but in comparison to the great motion and flow you had earlier on it was lackluster). I love the candle scene just before that though, hnnn.
One very minor nitpick was that I found it a little odd that you used a scene of the female MC with her hair short before you showed her hair being cut, especially since you used scenes with her short hair for the rest of the video after that. It was really enjoyable though; I've already watched it a few times already...

The moments they have during the journey was my focus, them and their unique relationship they aren't your classic lovers. I felt the lesser edited parts in the middle might be weird in comparison but I thought it was just me, makes sense. I'm still working on having consistency throughout my stuff :B

So glad you enjoyed it :o For the early short hair shots I guess you can call that foreshadowing lol

This was great. Super-solid editing -- some of the best I've seen from you up to this point -- and a really well-told story. Good song choice, good pacing, good everything. Keep up the nice work :up:
