There were a few in there. This vid was about the two characters and their battle to see who is the best. Though I'll keep this in mind the next time I think about making a fanservice video, the babes in this series are quite hot.

You should be happy to know that the laws of physics arn't disregarded as much in this video as there were in the original series. Speed Racer like stunts much?

Good to hear to closed the video about 5 seconds before it was actually over ^^()

I'm still trying to grasp this too long vibe. This is by far one of the shortest videos I've ever made (I usually make videos in the 5-7 min range) so a 3:33 video is really short. I went with something a little more in the credits at the end since this video was a tribute video for a friend, and that can be misleading, which is all my fault.

And thanks all of you who actually liked the video ^^

Modern Talking is one of the shittiest bands ever.

I loved this video since I love racing still. The scenes you used had alot of energy which makes the video fun to watch.

Oldschool. Very.

Highly enjoyed the way this was presented.

[edit] On the subject of too long, I personally didn't think so. It's not one of those videos that totally absorbed me, but the action was pretty good and it matched up. Could it be shorter? Yea. Could it work in some sort of a broader concept/story? Yea. But I didn't mind in this case.
Plus I'm a sucker for any sort of vehicular demonstration.

I thought that the editing was done well, but I have to agree with most, that the video dragged on.
The problem is that it's the same thing for the whole video, there isn't much to differentiate the parts of it. So it wouldn't matter if it were 3 or 7 minutes, after about 2 minutes it starts feeling boring. :\

again, I liked the pairing and the editing was good, I just would have enjoyed it alot more had is been shorter.

Hey, don't go knocking on Germany's finest musical export ever.

I enjoyed the video and nominated it for a few things. It kind of reminded me of Battle Athletes - To The Victory.

I voted this for best vid, it was in the nomination screw you guys who have to have every beat synced to everything. Good buildup in this, a very nice and rare thing in most vids.

*thumps up*

while this moved well and was a fun song, it kinda reminded me why I'm not a huge fan of car racing. O.o

Modern Talking O.o NO WAI... *gets*

EDIT: Yes wai *cough* I won´t get started with the music, it´s a childhood trauma *shudder* The editing was good, but not good enough for me to enjoy the AMV as a whole... It really seemed kinda repetive... perhaps it´s just because I´m no fan of car racings *shrug*
