It's been a long time, but I have finished another AMV! And just in time to submit to Anime Evolution too! (Yay hometown cons.)

I like the use of lip-sync in this, there's a couple instances where I think it could have been improved and I wish I could un-see those because they're the only thing about this that doesn't quite work for me.

This was a wonderfully-synced, upbeat and super-fun video. In general I'm usually not drawn to this kind of thing but this had such a joyful spirit to it that I was sort of hooked right from the start. Like, I don't know if these sources really have anything to do with each other at all but focusing on that really misses the whole point. The different genres and kind of scenes that you're using are arranged in a way that there's never any jarring transitions from one to another, you establish this anything-goes approach early on and by the time the first chorus comes in, oh man, this just really clicked with me and it's one of my favorite videos of the year so far.

I've been waiting for you to release something since Miyazaki At Night, which was one of the most underrated videos from 2014 and one of my favorites from that year. I'm not as taken with this video, simply because it seems like you could have done so much more with almost every aspect of it. The sync could have been tighter, there could have been more energy throughout, and oh man I wish those choruses hit harder. There's so much unrealized potential in this video. That said, I appreciate that you didn't use the usual scenes from the particular anime you chose -- these random multi-anime videos usually all use the exact same scenes arranged in a different order, but this all felt fresh to me so props for that. The mood was spot-on and there were some truly great moments in the video. I just can't help but want more, and not really in the good way, more in the frustrating way.

Ah well though, these were my impressions after my first watch, this one could be a grower. Nice job all the same, and I really hope to see more from you more frequently than once every two years :P
