A video from a few months ago. I fooled around with transitions in this one and went a bit overboard with it at times. But I still like it.

I noticed quite early into the editing process that the combination of anime and song, while having a matching topic (school shooting), didn't actually work very well together. There were very few actual scenes of a gun being fired for example. I pulled through regardless, but you can tell that I had to fill up some parts.

This is really good.

I don't know how you did it but this is a terribly grim video that never feels like one. Nor does it really feel like a comedy video, although there's a lighthearted, tongue in cheek sort of feel that runs through the whole thing. I've seen plenty of editors try this and the ironic effect usually wears thin pretty quick. But I didn't have that experience here at all.

Great balance between the action scenes and everything else, the fighting scenes are spaced out really well, there's a lot of establishing scenes that define setting and character, song lyrics actually matter here (unlike most action AMVs in 2019) and I never got the sense that you were padding this out in any way. I've watched this three times and I'm just not seeing the weak links you're referring to.

I'm just not seeing the weak links you're referring to.

There's plenty of shots in there where you just see a character's eye. Some of those felt like fillers to me.
But thanks for the kind words, I too feel like I managed to establish a good tone and story here. The anime really works well for that.
