Hope you enjoy it.

P.S. I do notice that "Interrupted" is spelled wrong in the poster.

lol, you wrote "MP4 version (Recommended Version)" on both links, I guess the lower file size one is the mp4, right? ^^; I'll get this one now :p

This video was....interesting. I'm usually not a fan of videos with an orgy of effects like this, but I think it really refreshed the source...meaning even though I've seen TONS of Advent Children videos, this one still felt a bit different. So I'd almost say nice use of effects but the blinds or whatever theyre called in your software got a bit annoying after a while.

Another gripe...the song...I'm not really sure what language this was in because the song is very hard to make out, but I couldn't tell if you were following lyrical sync or not. What I'd suggest in the future (and this may take a bit more time, but I think it will be worth it) is to make the file an MKV and add softsubs. (Subtitles you can turn on and off). Most people like to understand what they're watching.

Moving onto the video quality itself. It was fine really except for the black bars on the top and bottom of the screen. It'd be best to crop that out in AVIsynth in a post processing script or something or other. And I didn't really see the need for a watermark. This isn't NooBTube, I don't think anyone here would steal your work.

I'd give this a 3 ordinarily, but theres something about this video I liked that I can't put my finger on, so I'll say its a:

3.5/5

(And for future reference, if you find an error in your poster...just don't take note of it, FIX it. It shows that you put effort into the video. If you say you noticed the error but didn't fix it, that doesn't say much for your video itself.)

Why not put the mp4 up on local?

Unintentional interlacing, or at least I really hope it was because instead of looking like a effect, it just looked like crap. Mostly in the beginning was where I noticed it. What's with the letterboxing and CF? It's not even doing anything and it distracts me, and if you insist on meaningless watermarking, either do it very subtly, or risk alienating the viewer.

Overall though I rather liked it, the editing was good, the effects, at some points felt kind of, effects for the sake of effects, but came together nicely at times as well. You even made FFAC not suckas much as usual.

As far as the poster, I didn't create the poster so I couldn't change it myself. The watermarking is more of a traditional thing now for me so I won't change that. Unless you have a poor attention span, I doubt it should bother you and this is only place that I get that complaint from. I will turn down the opacity next time though. As far as the song, since it's in another laguange I didn't know the lyrics but music is universal so you can feel the general theme in the video.

XD, you people are funny. You not downloading the video is your loss considering I think it's a good watch. The watermark isn't even inside the the video itself. The video was made for you to watch it and not the watermark in the corner. How do you guys watch TV?

This isn't TV, this is AMV's. The two can't compare and you shouldn't put a useless watermark on your video. Theres no point.

Well, I will make a watermarkless version next time I understand it's a annoyance for some people but I find it kinda retarded that someone wouldn't even WATCH the video over a simple watermark that's not in the video's way at all.
