Right around when the the song goes "no one's gonna take me alive." That's when it first hit me.

Hm... I expected smthing rather big after all comments.
There is not enough sync and its a bit long for me.
Nevertheless, you did a good scene selection. It is interesting to watch first 2-3 minutes, but then it becomes a little boring, coz i like more 'beat' sync for action vids.
3.5/5

All your comments are great. I appreciate to hear what people like to see in a video and "Beat Synchro" is definately something that I'll work on for my next project(s). I also appreciate everyone who took the time to watch the entire 6:30 minutes of the video, which is rather long, I know.

Vlad gave me the comment that he thought it would be a rough 6:30 to get through, but commended me on how I kept the flow of the video going so that it really didn't seem like it was that long. This is a comment that has been repeated to me several times by other viewers too. I've known I did a good job when Vlad personally congratulates me for my work, so I know I've done something right.

While I know it wasn't a perfect video (such things exist?) but I do want CONSTRUCTIVE comments so I am able t learn from what I've made, so I can improve on my editing style in the future.

It's not possible to make everyone happy out there, but it must've done something right with the Sakura-Con viewers. So I appreciate them and their feelings for my video. Thanks again and keep the comments coming!

That was kind of a necessary evil given the nature of the song, if you're commenting on the lyrical portions. I didn't really re-use any scenes and tried to keep everything unique between the similar verses.

Okay, took some the comments to heart, especially about the ending.

Thought about it and yeah, there really is no need for a 25 second outro after the music ends. So I shortened the ending so the video DOES end when the last note drifts to silence, and made it less dramatic and to the point.

Plus, redid some minor effects, but the basic layout of the video was not changed.

Please check it out if you can. Thanks!
