I see the changes of aspect ratio's been brought up, so, x3

Also, not sure I liked the pace of it. Seemed a bit static, at least in the beginning. you waited for the last beat all the time, made it a bit boring to watch. Some parts reminded me of Nostromo's Magic Pad, especially one of the first clips with the girl and the long camera movement towards the skies.
I feel that you should've done more with the clips instead of adding a slow glow with colors here and there and changing the colors.

6/10

I didn't like this at all, The Editing was nothing special, the changing AR's were annoying and the video was just..hollow.

Simply Boring.

Not too bad but in a lot of instances there was no real technical connection or flow between the sources, and instead each individual anime stood out as a separate entity in the AMV which isn't really good for this type of upbeat multi-anime AMV since you'd want everything to come together somehow, but the flow was there in some parts, the beginning was good with all the motion but it was killed by the subsequent use of ef with a different aspect ratio etc. I was reasonably entertain - 3/5

where the heck is kimikiss, I demand answers, must be one of those latter MAD hgame scans after shuffle since I didn't see footage from the anime at all during the 3 times I've watched this =P

Felt like a Magic Pad Clone....

I really didn't care about AR (because I really dont' usually care about technical crap), but the video quality could have been better.

Edited soundly, it just didn't "do it" for me.

3.50/5.00

I got the same feeling too, though the editing style is completely different so it's not really bad.

Aside from the issues people have already mentioned, I did enjoy this AMV. Yes, it was random, but it's not like I need a story for every AMV I watch.

3.5/5 pretty cool.

tbh i didnt see many similarities between this vid and magic pad despite the fact it used a similar dance song
-shrug-

I thought it was kinda cool. But like the others said, the change in AR was a little annoying. Another gripe i had was that the sources you used didnt blend together that well imo, especially the lucky star and haruhi dance. That part felt way out of place. Still, i thought it was cool.

3.5/5
