Been a while since someone did one of these. This is one of my favorites, and it is interesting from a historical perspective, I think.
MajinKenshin is better known for , but I think this is better. Toushi was amazing for its time, without a doubt, but if it were released today, it would probably not be as well-received. Part of this is due to changing editing styles, but it can also be attributed to the improvement of editing suites. Since I only started editing amv's within the past few years, I can't comment on how things were like in 2004. But I do know there was no Twitch back then
. Given this perspective, it's interesting to see an "old-school" editor make the jump to the modern era, as it were. MajinKenshin released Fukushu in 2010 and it rocks. The video has some instances of sickeningly awesome internal sync (see 1:24-1:25 & 2:41-2:51). In fact, the sync is almost peerless. There's a staggering amount of energy in Fukushu and I'll be damned if certain parts don't leave me breathless, even after watching it for the 100th time. While a lot of action editors today put their energy into creating killer effects, sometimes held frames and careful scene selection are all that it takes to make a fantastic action video. The theme isn't anything special (revenge in an action video? NO WAY!), but the video at least knows its limits and doesn't try to be anything other than what it is.
