Ugh, been so busy lately I've only just gotten around to watching this despite having downloaded it as soon as it came out. Anyway I've been looking forward to your next release and this one is no disappointment! :up:

The entire feel of the AMV is incredibly well done, the atmosphere is dark and moody and the dull colouring (sunset reds/browns/cold blues/black&white) of your scenes gives off a very sad and depressing air for the first part of the AMV. Then everything is so crisp and vivid afterwards when the music picks up which highlights the contrast in pacing between the two sections - very nice. Though what I liked the most was your overlaying. I think I mentioned before that I hate it when there's too much fading because I can't see the scenes clearly and everything looks messy but it was beautifully crafted this time and really adds to the abstract imagery in the video. As lolligerjoj mentioned before, it can make understanding a little bit more difficult but I actually like this type of AMV since you can leave interpretation up to the viewer (and I always like thinking a bit deeper :P). Text was also elegant and tastefully done and blends well with the mix of photographs and anime footage so props for that. :up:

My only gripe is the ending fade out but that's because I personally hate songs that fade out so it's just biased opinion on my part. xD

Anyway really well done video, good job! :mrgreen:

Simply amazing. Loved how you capture the mood just right, the blending scene selections everything felt just right. Really enjoyed the 2nd half. Not my cup of tea AMV to watch, but it's a great edit good job!
