This was originally just a quick project but it turned out to look decent. Please tell me what you think.

I liked the song. Could have used a bit more work, but I enjoyed it. 3/5 Good job.

I liked the fact that you tried to do something a little different with an anime that has almost no variety between the videos that use it. The video itself was just kinda meh to me, though. Too many hard cuts, for one (were there any crossfades at all?), and the song was a huge turn-off, so I won't be re-watching it much, if at all.

Still though, love the concept, and the song DID fit it pretty well (from the way it sounded, at least). 3/5, keep trying new stuff like this :up:

I was aiming to keep this video simple when I made this. No special effects, just simple hard cuts.

I think it was all of the hard cuts that kinda killed some of the momentum you had going. Crossfades can be your friends too. ;) I did like the music selection, and that you used more mecha in it than other vids with this anime. You made them work really well with the music.

It was all mood, but I didn't like the come and go of the scenes. Otherwise I was quite taken by it. The song and the anime worked so well together.
