I must admit, I like the style. That said, some portions really annoyed me. The letterboxed sections in particular. It's already 16:9. Cropping to avoid subs looks really bad on a 4:3 screen.

This is an interesting The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya video. The sync was good and the presentation was very nice. I like how you used a different aspect ratio (letterboxed) in spots. The song fit with the footage, oddly enough. Or should I say, you fit the source well with the song.
Thanks! I was hoping some positive feedback from the fans.
Video worked for me without any hiccup at all. I was partly disappointed that though you used HD sources, the quaity wasn't really up there. I think perhaps a h.264 encode could have been better to maintain greater quality if file size was a concern of yours.
Some parts of the video have bad quality, for reasons I'm ashamed to explain. I know the problem, I could fix it, but I'd rather move on to something else. It won't happen again.
make that X2
but I'll sacrifice just this once :P
Feel free to watch the series first. It's awesome.
Downloading now...you'll probably get an op from me within the next day or two. ^^
Well sKy's gotta watch the series first, so you don't have to worry about the virginity :P
Haruhi is SO annoying
YES! Good thing this vid isn't really about her.
I thought the video had quite some chill, it was nice to watch :P It had some flaws here and there in terms of timing and especially masks though.
Thanks alot. Alot of the effects are done very unprofessionnally on purpose, so as to mimic the style of episode 1. In many ways, it's a vid fans of the series will appreciate more.

Well the letterboxing was, above all else, an artistic choice. But seeing as I edit on a widescreen iMac, I'd never thought about how 4:3 screens would show it. You've got a point there. I'll have to watch that.

Oh, and I forgot to mention : I'd like to thank the editors of a-m-v.org for inspiring me to go beyond the source, and create something I can call my own.

Holy shit. Anybody who's going to download the vid, do not. I just noticed the sync got messed up in the last minute. I will upload a new, H.264 version right away. I am so sorry, and very embarassed.

Tsk tsk Greg...there's a reason the .org makes you download and watch a test version of your video before everything is confirmed...

New H.264 version is up. The sync was messed up, and I urge you to get this version. Again, I am very, very sorry for the trouble.

That was pretty cool! Excellent combo, a couple of issue but well worth the watch.

You have won!
