While I'm not as keen on it as everyone else seems to be, it's definately among the better Naruto vids I've seen. I felt like the first minute seemed to lack something comparatively to the rest of the vid, but once you got into the more emotionally intense parts of the first song it got loads better. I'm also a big fan of the work you did with the eyes, well done. Overall it's a keeper, and will be watched multiple times, keep up the good work.

4/5 stars.

I'm not a big effects but I figure where-ever they fit . They really fit well here so No complaints.

My biggest complaint though, stems from the fact that I don't think this is a video really geared towards people like myself. I don't know what it is about the video, but I just never found it emotionaly shaking enough to get me to feel anything besides a bit of awe for the effects.

Though I will add one thing, This is the only video I've seen that works with Naruto and doesn't mess up the color sceme.

Good work with the scenes you had, I hate to say that most Naruto videos clash so much with themselfs (Color wise). That I'm just glad you guys didn't spend all that time just to have a few scenes clash.

I loved the effects... they all blended together very well and seemed natural in the video. I love it when videos use blurry or smooth effects rather than boxy ones. And you made all the emotions come off very well.

I felt the video almost could've done without the parts after 4:17. Or at least the black sections that separated the different parts could've been much shorter. It would've been better if you'd blended right into the next sections, without a pause inbetween.

Overall, I thought it really good. It's my favourite of the Naruto vids I've seen. The editing was excellent.

I have a hunch that this video is going to get a very large opinion count very soon...

Any way you can have a direct link? My connection to the .org servers isn't that good right now...

^Go there, they got a link (third video on page) - I'm sure you can tell what link means what by the shortcut

Their connection seems a tad slow though, but at least there's a low-qual preview version

Linking to AKROSS isn`t a good idea - even a "full version" has low bitrate and quality if comparing it with AMVorg version... And its not a final build there, so downloading from AMVorg is the best variant if you want to see final version with good quality.

Eh, it's a suggestion for those who have trouble connecting with the .org - doesn't hurt to try

Granted, I gotta admit I haven't had much luck with getting contest videos at any faster that ~5kbps from there...

Anyway, if the .org doesn't cut it for you...

...you can probably always ask the guy who just said this,

Nice vid.

He's got that vid

It was pretty cool. I especially liked the bloody text on Naruto in the beggining and the stuff with the eyes at about 2:20. Nice maskings too. The thing with Naruto's 3rd eye must've taken ages to be placed properly. It needed more timing though and I don't think "Stan" fits the other 2 songs, but overally it was "harashov"

.

Ouh German song... I prayed that you actually synch something to the lyrics and gladfully you did

Not only that, you got the meaning of the song very well and connected the story with it. On top of that you created it in a way people who don't know German can understand it pretty well using not too much active lyricsynch (for example: "Du weisst nicht wohin du gehst" - not showing a scene of a character going somewhere but keeping the connection to the rest of the scenes

) So it was really really well done in this point.

Other than that, yep, what others said, great use of effects, one of the best videos this year
