I really liked the intro and the first track, which made me hope for more that this could be a fun video.

Unfortunately I was dissapointed after that. I only liked the FMP and Tekkonkinkreet tracks, everything else looked like an average Naruto video with the editor trying to "sync everything" ... People, flashing a scene with a fadeout at each drum sound is goddamn annoying, uncreative and most of the time destroying the flow

/personal rant

Some of the audio transistions also seemed very strange. Personally I was hoping for this to be more fun-oriented, but that's just me.

Some tracks were a lot better then others, but overall it was pretty damn good. 4/5

I am with jcd here, altho I'd have to add that this is better than the other recent, very shitty band meps. no real jarring mistakes but no intense moments either.

5.6/10

P.S.: look up zeros chatlog if you want a rundown on all the tracks \:

I really enjoyed this. It is true that there is nothing spectacular about it, but the overall editing was very solid, and it made me rediscover this awesome album. => 4.25/5 Good job, guys!

PS. The first track was the awesomest.

Well, that was pretty decent. Most of the tracks individually were good (there were a few ones I didn't like, like the X one, but I won't get to analyzing shit now) but what this missed was a decent flow between the various tracks - meaning, many of the tracks just didn't seem connected with the whole thing and were too different from the rest music/editing/anime wise. I'm not saying the tracks shouldn't stand out (hell, the first one stood out and it was probably my favorite track in the mep) but they could have been connected better.. but I guess that's a main problem with making a band mep (take Reflections of Style 3 for an example of how the tracks can flow perfectly and connect with each other). Tha change of aspect ratios also added to that..

Oh fuck that, I'll talk about RrezZ's tracks because I hate him: the Karas one actually started out pretty well (I knew he had made the karas track in advance so I was surprised I actually liked it, bastard) but luckily it lost it after a while. The use of presets on the AC one bugged me (not because they were presets but because they were just meh - I mean "hay, let's just throw some thunderz in there lol") but it was okayish, I guess.

The ergo proxy - devil may cry connection actually seemed pretty damn weird too, and what was the "Devil May Cry" text doing there at some point?

Okay seriously now, I can't bother analyzing tracks today. Maybe later (the eternal doubtful promise I always like to give).

Well anyway, other than, as far as band meps go, I found it pretty enjoyable, especially compared to most of the meps coming out these days. At least not letting crappy tracks into the mep just to get it finished is something everyone should start doing, I mean jeez. Rating this correctly would be kind of complicated unless I want to randomise/generalise things so I'll just leave it with a "gj".

Yeah, I actually didn't think ergo proxy and DMC3 would mix very well, but i think it actually came out pretty decent. The Devil May Cry text i had to leave, as I wanted to use that clip pretty bad, and it was the only instance of it, couldn't get rid of the text.
