This was my AWA Pro entry this year. I felt pretty honored that it got into the finalists in Best Romance, considering the buttload of romance entries there were, so a big thanks to everyone who voted for it, and grats to Koop on the win.

yay! :O

It has been fun watching your progression with each new vid. You already know my thoughts on it for the most part. I can't wait to see how your next vid will end up :O Keep up the good work.

I've seen a Video with exactly this combination before (but then again, this is probably no wonder when you think of how well the songs fits CC).

Can't tell wether I liked this more or less, but I enjoyed it.

Wow. That song/anime combo was brilliant. The only thing I was really confused about was Asmaria, because she really didn't seem to fit anywhere, except to provide literal sync. :O I also questioned the slow-mo scenes, because they kind of stood out as odd (then again, that might just be because I've seen the series).

It was a tad too slow for my personal taste, but it worked out well. :O

I enjoyed it. The pacing might have been a bit slow, but I found it to make a very pleasant video. Nice job

I thought the scene choices and editing very complimentary to the music.
I also felt the music and video flow was spot-on.

Nice work!

I enjoyed it as well. The song + anime was what shined out to me

I thought this was a real creative risk, actually, and I was kind of worried the flow might break up, especially with the faster-paced footage and what seemed to be a pretty tight, linear narrative getting set up. Seriously, the song is deceptively simple but I could tell from the start that unless it took off towards the end it'd be really hard to pull off - and it didn't take off, but pull it off you did. Some really neat, subtle editing moments towards the end and the flow really worked, especially in the second half of the video. The narrative worked well too.

So yea, take moar creative risks like this, I like
