It feels like the same old same old to me. I mean it isn't a bad video, but I feel as if I've seen it before on more then one occasion.

I actually liked the loose, lazy sync...it's less obtrusive than the anal, hyper-precise HIT EVERY BEAT FOR GREAT JUSTICE type seen elsewhere. The narrative aspect of the editing here is decent and held my interest for its brief running time. However, the stark lack of effects of any sort and the overused fade cut ultimately made it monotonous. The fades looked pretty awkward at the end when the cuts sped up but the fade transition time didn't.

It was all right. For me it felt like it was missing a certain intensity.
But what's important is that you made something :O

I can't believe that there are people complaining that the editing was slow in this. I could barely keep up with what was going on. More evidence for my theory that some people only watch AMVs after taking a few hits of speed. ;)
I'm not sure it should have been an award winner either, but it's certainly a nice MEP segment.

I have a bit of mixed feelings about the editing - on one hand I do love internal sync and I think for the most part that is pretty decent in this video.

On the other hand it did lack a certain energy... though frankly it may be the fact that the music isn't exactly of my taste. :P

Nice intro and pretty cool idea with the transitions using chapters.
But I thought too, that the action sync/editing was a bit too dull for the song overall. And since this video is quite short, it was hard for me to get into it.
However, I think you still did a fairly good job.

ROD + Judge = awesome in the first place. But the AMV itself just didn't quite feel right. I mean it is good, but nothing special. But still I'd say :up:.
Insert clever text/image here.
