4 minutes for someone to explain it. No one on the org lets me have any fun.

since I have never heard anything nice from you

Thank you, that's the nice compliment anyone has given me in a long time.

hmm... maybe that's wrong put. I guess you should define it more like this. You are pretty direct. I hope that you will understand that you don't make friends by writing something like that into your signature

Adding to that your sig kind of offended me... I don't know what you expect from someone, who just felt dissed by you. I don't think you expect a kiss, a flower or some kind of friendly comments...

I love godix

No, seriously. I think you really don't know what you're saying. Flowers aside, more importantly hell has been raised and will be raised over godix if there's issues related to him

But I digress.

Nice little activity you have going, hopefully productive as far as yet another mechanism-of-critique and way-of-getting-#AMV-to-actually-discuss-AMVs.

That said, I'm unfortunately allergic to the IRC format

You're in luck. The idea I had with posting it here is that you could download the vid, op it, then write your thoughts also in the thread to continue the discussion. You don't need to read the irc backlog to do so, so I encourage you too post. We do like it when people to come out on monday's to the actual session and participate live, but next best thing, here you come!

I might actually sneak in to observe and such.

I like the song, so almost no matter how many other flaws, it still gets a

from me.

I saw an attempt at lipsync, and story telling, but like Godix has said, I'm just not seeing it. For an anime like this, I would have just used him getting on the train and traveling not a distance but through time, from the good times till the lonely days, finally ending with how he got back. If the scenes don't support it, manufactor some, or perhaps just give text to the characters thoughts.

I think of the failings for those who want to do a story, yet don't have the scenes to tell their story, is that they just make due with what they have, hope the viewer gets the story and feeling they were going for (maybe, maybe they don't give a fuck and made the video to amuse them only.

) and don't embrace methods beyond just the available video. Anyone else agree with this thought, or do you think text overall would probably interfere with your enjoyment even more than a failed story?

I've been trying to sneak in and observe since the second round of this, hasn't worked yet.
