I like that it's hyper. I like that it's happy. I like the flow of movement. And I *REALLY* like that it has no yaoi like your last vid did...

I, generally, love AMV Mixes like this.

I was really happy to see you've gotten the knack for video quality [CHEERS!]. :D

Generally, the flow was kind of randomized. There were were spots that were really just SPOT On and just beautiful. Especially towards the end, it was really spot on. Bu then, somewhere around the middle and right at the beginning, the flow just didn't match with the beat/source. But the combination of cross fading and hard cuts was really well accomplished and nice to see. It was just.. It didn't draw me in. It had the GASM scenes from all the animes, but they were compiled in a way that didn't take advantage of the song's pacing.

So, on the overall, it was not my favorite work from you [you've done a lot better in terms of atmosphere], but still totally enjoyable if you're into anime mixes. But if you don't like the multi source mixes, then people aren't going to like it irregardless. XD

personally i love to watch fastpaced happy dance amvs. Whenever i use only one anime i find myself never really watching it again. Like it doesn't entertain me as much.
As for the quality, i can't take credit for it, godix encoded it for me and made a script to sharpen the quality for the mp4. the AVI version is all my scripting. This amv was for godix although not dedicated to him. I wanted to make an amv his wife and him would enjoy. so..i accomplished what i wanted to accomplish omg I'm gonna cry~

I thought this was alright. Some of the randomly sped up scenes that were fast at first but slowed down bugged me a little, bit, but otherwise it was really nice. =)
Great job!

You increase the anime count with your every vid...

In few years you'll get over Zarx, even.

I thought this trend was on its way out :(

It felt to me like a clone of every other multi-anime/techno-dance AMV ever made, except with no flow, sync, or conceptual uniformity to keep it all together. Sorry, but I didn't like it at all. Just because you're using all sorts of different scenes to a dance song doesn't mean you can just throw clips onto the track, make a cut here and there, and hope all the motion will miraculously sync up with the music. If you're going to make a video like this you have to pay attention to the visual relation between how one clip ends and the next one begins, so that transitions don't feel so jarring and disjointed.

1.5/5

don't flame crack the sky :p
i guess everyone will or will not see what i was going for but w/e
i spent a lot of time on sync and effects, and i think you may have missed the lyrical sync and the happiness and adrenaline the amv was supposed to invoke. To me its not a clone, because i made it. I love the song and i love the message it has. For me, editing seemed like it was a dream that would never come true. Making this, for me, is telling everyone that they can do anything to forget limitations and find ways around them. That's what i hoped everyone would see. ^_^;; althought most ppl haven't.
