Whaa, no responses?
For shame peops.

On Escaflowne:
While I thought the pacing was pushing it a little at times - that is, outside of the action parts, the song was still running at a breakneck pace while the footage was often relatively static - you did make up for it with rather consistent and careful editing. Ultimately the quality of composition got me here, good delivery of characters, underlying conflicts and great action too of course. A sort of masculine, fantasy-genre take on Escaflowne that certainly has its place.
A few iffy effects, filters and transitions here and there that you could've done without, a few places of iffy timing, a few places where I thought the scene choice was goofy but nothing really glaring, and for me at least - definitely overshadowed by the good stuff. My only wish is that the editing was more rhythm-oriented, which would improve the pacing by a lot.
All in all, enjoyable.
The Birds are using humanity in order to throw something terrifying at this green pig. And then what happens to us all later, that’s simply not important to them…
