I was VERY happy to be a part of this! I was relatively new to the forum when I discovered this and after watching the first one I HAD TO BE IN THIS!!!

I think this one was more enjoyable than the first. I have sat through it now probably 3 times!!! My son loves the Pokemon part.

I look forward to another one or something like it. This inspired me to make an Italobrothers mix for my next studio MEP.

I really enjoyed this. Lemme do a quick rundown of what I thought of each track.

Track 1: Code did awesome with this. Some of the best editing I've seen from him. (Maybe cause I love the song and source was used well to me.)

Track 2: Epic Pokemon track! Quality was awesome, masking + effects went great with the music.

Track 3: The quality + stretched aspect ratio bothered me in this track. It was alright. If the quality was better I might have enjoyed it more, but it distracts when the aspect ratio is different from other tracks.

Track 4: Went pretty well with the music, cute lyric matching and good transitions.

Track 5: Love, love, love it. My kind of editing. This editing inspires me.

Track 6: I liked the transition into the track, but the quality was a little low for me. I liked the fixes Code made though, and overall it flowed well.

Track 7: Seemed a little slow compared to some of the tracks before. Quality was okay. It has good lyric matching. ;3

Track 8: And back up to speed again. This track hits every single beat, haha. Decently made, good with the music.

Track 9: Good lyric matching, pace was a little slow but decent.

Track 10: I love how we have Tsubasa after CCS :3 Good track, well made. Fight scene was a little long but no other complaints.

Track 11: Pretty good, kept up with the music.

Track 12: Cute track, good lyric matching.

Track 13: Overused source but the editing with it was so fresh that I really enjoyed it. Epic panning |:>

Track 14: I liked the blue overlays, that was smart to make the editing different since we've seen BRS so much. Good track.

Track 15: A little slow again with a fast paced tempo, but overall it was good. Needed more nighttime scenes because of the lyrics but I can see where that could've been difficult. :P

Track 16: Good track. It went with the music well.

Credits: Cool use of a template O:


Overall: There was a track with bad aspect ratio, some tracks had some lip flap, but the music mix was excellent. Tracks started and ended according to the music (you'd be surprised at how some people cut up MEPs) The mix flowed great, like I said, and a lot of the tracks were really enjoyable. I'm not sure about not having an intro title though. It would've been nice to see a big CascadaThon 2 at the beginning to open up the MEP. Then again, it doesn't really matter much.

Kudos guys <3

Mmmm wish I had more stuff to throw in...you know commenting on each track and stuff....short on time. Anyways, it was fair. There were like 4 or 5 tracks that stood out to me the most. And.....those were some pretty bitchin credits. :up:

I sense that this insult is unoriginal. *Looks In First CascadaThon Thread* Yep. Thought so. Heard it before.

The nanoha and kimi ni todoke tracks were awesome. Enjoyed bits and pieces everywhere else. Not sure If like the MEP as a whole or not but I can atleast say I enjoyed some of it.

Credits were awesome, cant help but think I've seen this template on motionvfx.com in the past, then again they all look pretty similar... Not going to point fingers though, they were awesome. Not like its a problem if you used a template anyway.
"The people cannot be [...] always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to [...] the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to public liberty. What country can preserve its liberties, if it's rulers are not warned [...] that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants."-Thomas Jefferson

I'm not sure of the process they used to make us the credits. You would have to take it up with them. I am glad you enjoyed the MEP though.

Uh oh....I guess you don't like my editing.....lol

It was supposed to be 848x480 and Sailor Moon is Full Frame. Is there a way around "Stretching"?

Cool Thanks.

I stretch almost everything and I want to make some older anime AMVs so that would be great :)
