I really enjoyed it. Slayers is such a good but damn underused series. Had a few nitpicks here and there, you kinda edited too hasty and oversynced the first half. And, please, no white flashes :P

Wow, there's quite a few responses now! I don't think I have the time to answer each of you individually, so I'll do my best to speak towards the topics I remember being brought up!

Song Choice: I realize not everyone is going to like the same music as I do, and I appreciate the efforts of everyone to address any concerns in this area towards the theme of the piece and the synergy between the music and the scene selection rather than just judging on personal preference. It's certainly much more helpful for me to hear when you think the two are no longer working (or when they work best) rather than whether or not you liked the song. So thank you there.

Slayers: Yes, it certainly needs more representation here! I'm glad many of you have enjoyed my addition to the selection!

White Flashes: Well I don't really use many, and only to highlight certain scene changes. I remember someone commenting that they were too much, though, so I'm wondering if anyone else feels that way. Maybe I should have tried a gold-flash XP

Thank you everyone for taking the time to watch and reply here!

I didn't find them annoying or that there were too much, but I have learn that additive dissolve (thats how its called in Vegas) works as good as a white flash and is not eye-killer :P (at least no one has going mad at me in my latest AMV with those XD).

Onto your AMV, I love Slayers, one of my first animes I watched when I was little (oh the memories), glad to have seen a good Slayers AMV, pretty tight and accurate synch I must say, the song worked well if you ask me (and in taste it was neutral for me :P). The quality was a little meh, but well Slayers is old but I still think you could have improved it a little more :D . The editing was pretty good and even without effects I liked it (fades ftw XD). Overall one of the best Slayers AMVs I have seen, a keeper :D . keep up the good work ^^

4.5/5

Actually, what I did with my white flashes was place a two frame long white image between the two clips and then additive cross dissolve into and out of it. It's a trick I learned from a friend and makes them less harsh. :D

Towards the rest of your comment; Slayers really is a blast from the past for me too, but I've always loved this series and in the end, that really gave me the inspiration to produce a video for it. ^_^ KMFDM isn't my usual fare, but I like working with different kinds of songs and this one just fit, you know? :) I cleaned the sources the most that I could without overdoing it and I think they were brought as close to today's standards as possible, ne? I wish I could have had better quality Slayers, but unless they completely redo the series I don't see it happening. Do the best with what you've got, ne?

Glad you enjoyed it.
