Really simple but pretty decently put together, first ~1:20 was clearly supperior to the rest of the video.
Nothing new or exciting though... Sorry, not my cup of tea.

Very pretty and sparkly. A definite "eye candy" AMV, or at least that was the vibe I was getting from it. As far as effects videos goes, it was pretty to look at and fun to watch through. Review-ability hurts a little though, since you can only watch pretty things so much before they become stale. [I'd say the same thing about Magic Pad, so don't feel too bad]

I also question the scenes where you chose not to color it blueish/purpleish/colorish, which kind of made it look odd with the rest of the pieces. Plus, the sparkle effects kind of kiltered out by the first minute mark. So consistency hurt a little too.

I absolutely hate comparing editors, but this does have a very strong association with Nostromo's work. Not exactly the same, but the strong visualizations with a very melodic song with not much concept behind it makes me think about it personally.

Overall, not bad and I'd say it was worth the watch, and that I'm really enjoying the variety of AMVs that you make. Although romance seems to be your strongest asset.

This basically. Though, as you know trance isn't something I can really listen to, so that was a huge factor. xD;
The editing and use of colour was awesome though.

Waaa, I loved it! It was beautiful and relaxing as well as perfectly color synced. There are no flaws I could point out.

Thanks for the comment, much appreciated. I have one thing to add and I knew this was going to happen. Recieved it tons of times So...if I edit to a trance song. Edit to anime openings...Does that consider me wanting to be like nostormo? Seems like now a days Nobody can't edit to an anime mix trance song and not get a comment "I WANNA BE NOSTORMO" It makes me laugh. Well then people who think like that can think like that. I know for myself. I do not. Want to be like nostormo. I am myself and try to add on my own styles. Thank you very much.
Yes I do agree with you that my drama/romance AMVS are my strong points. But I can't help it, I love trance and I love to edit to it. Is that wrong?

Had a good vibe to it but some parts to me felt like you may have just settled on some scene selections. It feels like if you spent some more time on it you could have lifted up another level (which based on what I've seen from you in the past, you definately have the skill to bump it up that notch and some more). It was still pretty good though.

I agree with the "I wanna be nostromo" type comments. It can get a little tiresome and really unavoidable. :/ Don't let it stop you from working with trance music though.

Just so we're clear, people don't say that because it's a mix-amv but because you used Nostromo's sources.
I can't help it but to compare this to Nostromo's work too, and that road isn't pretty.
Try going for something more original next time, not that you have to.
Overall, It was an alright viddie.

I haven't watched many trance AMVs or any Nostromo I can think of so I have a fresh perspective .

I was liking it at the beginning, well edited and good choice of clips, but after about a minute and a half it started to feel like it was dragging on. I think part of the problem is the song doesn't change up the pace enough, I wanted to get to a fast part but it never reached the speed I wanted.

The footage you picked goes together well, I hadn't realized you had used more than two or so animes until the random shot of Sakura, which totally threw me off, but then I saw how many you had in the credits.

More like because it's a mix video, using Nostromo's sources that has no point other than being pretty.

Congratulations! You have successfully found pretty footage, turned it blue and stuck it on the timeline with trance.
It looks like you also don't know how to work with fullscreen footage considering I saw some pretty fat and short characters in there....

Originality = win.
