Eh... I thought the scene correlation was ok but the constant fades to the vocals got old and the snapshot fade outs in the beginning didn't work well IMO. Guess I would have just liked to see a bit of diversity in sync, style, or something through this. The mood and flow matched well with the song IMO though. Think I only really enjoyed this cause of the mood it set to the lyrics, just sayin.

3/5
"The people cannot be [...] always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to [...] the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to public liberty. What country can preserve its liberties, if it's rulers are not warned [...] that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants."-Thomas Jefferson

It seems the general consensus so far is just "okay" and I feel about the same on this one. I felt more like I was watching a slide show than a video - not for lack of movement/action, but because it was a series of individual clips with no real cohesion.

Kenzichu - I mean this as constructively as possible and not as a put down, but I've been watching your videos for awhile now and lately I feel distracted while watching them, like I can never really focus. I think you try to use too many different animes in a single video for me to really get interested in a video as a whole. A lot of your earlier videos were single-anime, and I can see the correlation between you getting more used to using scripts/editing programs and the increase in number of anime you use in a video.

I get the impression that a chunk of your videos are just songs that you really like and then edit to them, which isn't a bad thing, they just don't keep my interest. I personally would like to see more focused videos from you, where I can tell you have a purpose, like Callie's Angel Day (which I loved and cried like a baby while watching). I don't know if any of these ramblings are helpful or not, but it's something that's been on my mind and I didn't have a good opportunity to share it with you.

Code and i got sick of the song after a while...
as for your notes. thank you so much for writing this down for me. I know i've been lacking focus, well. Yeah, even in life i am. I thought i wanted to quit making amvs a few days ago. Honestly, you may have just stopped me from doing so. I do enjoy using multiple anime because i love to lyrical sync. I have two videos that have been sitting on my hard drive, one with one anime, and one with multi. I just haven't been in the editing mood at all for..months now. although, i needed someone to pull me in and say " hey. you're work is starting to suck. Remember what you started editing for."
I feel a spark in me again. Like i wanna edit. This is amazing!
Thank you so much Angelyco. I will take your notes to heart and edit like i have a purpose!
