That was pretty cool. It was like one of my crossover videos with an actual budget. :P

Biggest problem was there should have been some kind of "victory" part after the big bad guy was defeated and you let the song keep playing way after you completely faded to black. I was actually thinking there was more of the video. :?

EDIT: Ok, I just read your description and it looked like you got tired of making this video for all those years. Guess I can't blame you much for really getting sick of a project.

Been waiting for this :D

/gets


EDIT: I really liked how you went about putting the characters together. The interaction between the characters was pretty well done. I like that you catered to fans and yourself in this by putting together interesting setups. Like others said, your crossover would be a lot more believable with some color correction. The quality was a bit low at parts. While I do enjoy the crossover bits and understand that most of the effort in making this video went towards that, I do think the video could've been more enjoyable it had the regular editing that you've put into your previous videos.

Still pretty well done. 7/10 - 4/5 for the star rating :up:

Although, I really liked the ideas and effort put into this video. it was fun.
So for that I give you a :up:

Good luck on future work.
I'd pretty much agree with this. Video has it's issues but even so it was enjoyable. I loved seeing somebody else use yu yu hakusho, that put a smile on my face =p

Hate the song tho.

I commend you for all the effort you put into this ( as it's pretty obvious you spent a while on this ) But I really could not get into this. Alot of the sources had more advanced animation than others making it really akward looking when you saw them mashed up together. And some of the masks felt like they need to be featherd on the edges, or some color correction added to them. For effort you get a 10/10
But general editing and overall it's a 3/5

Yeah. Nostalgia was part of what I was aiming for with some of the characters I used. I'm relieved to see someone got that feeling.

Coming from the creator of Naruto Ball Z & Dragon Bebop Z, that means a lot. Thanks.

It's a shame really. YYH has a lot of crossover potential. I'd love to see some more cross-overs that use it.

That's expected...not to mention understandable. Needless to say, I wasn't about to let contrasting differences in animation between the various sources stop me from doing certain combinations. It's one of those choices I was prepared to get called for the moment I decided to go through with it. Thanks for watching anyways.

Hopefully when I make my next cross over, I'll feel more motivated to add some of the finishing touches this amv obviously lacks.
*points to color correction comments*
Honestly, I ended up being way too burned out to worry about it. And because of that, it became another problem I was prepared to get called for prior to uploading this. :PShould I feel up to it, I might eventually upload a remastered version which attempts to fix some of the various visual details.

I dunno if you've seen my YYH/Memories crossover - The Haunted Ship. During the process of making it, I shared many of the feeling you had editing your video. But I finished it and even added some polishing touches (like the modified intro/outro) which I didn't need to do.

Sadly I may not have the time to do crossovers as much anymore, so it's time to leave things in your hands now sayde. :)

I'm not sure why this picture is making me laugh so much, but I am definitely enjoying it. Hopefully the video lives up to the picture.
