I like the new ending better, though the window bit's still kinda weird.

I was actually quite into it, the second dead leaves vid I like since rozards (although I still like that one much better)

very fitting editing with a fair amount of ghosting and sometimes quite creative flashes to the hard guitars and overall very relaxed and badass.
I just missed some balls in the editing, for instance at around 3.00, while this style worked otherwise. also, a little too much lip flap.
so yea, cool video, and good technical execution <:

7.1/10

the ending could have been more exciting if you edited the song.

I liked this one pretty much. Overall editing went so smoothly with the song's pace, that I for one haven't seen it executed that well for some time now. It really grabbed me right from the start and had to watch it to the end. You used the lyrics quite creatively, too.

My only nags include a few rather illogical continuity issues and of course the ending. At one point you had the two characters out of restraints and pretty much out on the run, then at one point rather quickly you show them back in the restraints, locked up again. The ending... I found it rather odd and unexpected. I felt like you had just thrown it at my face while I'm still expecting something from the vid.

8/10

Enjoyed this...tone of the song TOTALLY matched up with the video, which was nice. Also I've never seen this anime so I didn't understand much of what was going on, which actually for me made this a much more satisfying video to watch...just the insanity of what was being shown went hand in hand with the idea of the song.

I'd say a very solid video overall, 4.5/5
