Great visual quality and some very interesting use of visual effects. Although the 3D room concept is a bit overused it looked fine here. The overlays were awesome. Not my cup of tea, but great video

4.25/5

Slick concept and very fitting towards Nyuu/Lucy. But yeah, the song was a tad long for me. It's a pretty solid horror video though!

Nice concept, nice editing but can't say I really enjoy it.
Good job anyway.

Yeah, but better than all the CDVV videos combined, sorry Ileia.

I was suprised that this video kept my attention throughout the entire video though, since I don't like the song. However I loved how you changed the effects along the video and always threw in something new while keeping the memory room the same always returning to the basic idea. This videos Concept might not be new but it's the best portation I've seen till now. The effects are mostly fresh and goodlooking no rip of most seem pretty unique and the action/editing sync is also ok although a but to much in the background in my opinion. The major weakspot of this video for me were the masks, since some seemed a bit static although sitll better than 90% in other videos and you even animated some of them I think. Anyway I'll keep that even if I dislike the song since the technical side of this video is very impressive and the creativitiy as well.

The problem I have with most effect-heavy videos is that the effects don't seem to be there for any reason more specific than the fact that they're pretty. However, I don't feel that way about this video. Yeah, you used the 3-D room, which is pretty common, but the important part was that you put Lucy in it. It gave the feeling that she was watching the memories flash by instead of just showing random scenes in a cubic room.

Furthermore, I like that there's a distinct difference between the two sides of her personality. The song's style made it very obvious, and the way your editing changed dynamically also made it very obvious. It makes you think strongly of two sides conflicting against each other, which I think is somewhat lost in many Elfen Lied videos that say they're trying to do that concept.

Probably the biggest thing is the very subtle effects you did. For example, the very first shot of the video. You show her body parts moving in a slightly 3-D way, and it's attention to details like that that make a piece look polished.

I'm not usually a fan of effects videos, for reasons I've already said, but I feel that probably every effect in this video only enhances it, instead of drawing away. I could take or leave the song, but it works very well for EL, so no complaints there.

Great job, and I think this one is gonna be a keeper for me.

Ohwow, That was pretty impressive and I enjoyed watching it a lot. Whenever I will get my Opiniation Ability back (if I ever get it back O.o), you will deifnitally get a detailed Opinion from me.

4.5/5

Crimson.... Memories...? :O

Nah, you know I love this. Definitely one of the best Elfen Lied videos out there. You really embraced the eerie, spine crawling aspect of the series and made it work to your advantage in the edits. I found parts of the song weren't nearly as engaging as others, but obviously very solid overall. : up :
