okay managed to get this. Easily MEP of the year 5/5 no questions asked however I will say that it didn't wow me as much as Reflections of Style 3 mainly because there were a couple of songs in it I found a bit too slow for my liking and most importantly, this REALLY doesn't seem like an AMV optimised for watching on a laptop, it really needs to be properly up there with a large screen and good sound equipment. Anyway good job everyone this AMV will be with me until I die.

I was quite disappointed, mostly by the competence of using effects (ayumix 1 looked cleaner and much more original by lots) and the fact that most tracks don't stand out at all and even worsen the general flow.
all in all, I appreciate the good, individual structure as well as the mix but editing-wise, this was partly just plain boring (like the sailor moon/pretear seg for instance).
tracks like nancy's (best track in it), krats or mamos will still make me rewatch this.

6.3/10

I have to agree with GfN in most cases here, some parts of the project were really just average compared to the first part of the project and the cheesy use of effects and choice of anime didn't make things any better. For me who doesn't watch much cheesy dance videos however it was fun to watch and I'll watch it a few more times I guess. Especially the parts of Kisanzi, Batto, Alex Daikou and Krat stood out to me because those where not just overlays (which makes me feel bad somehow because I love that) and shiny effects all over the place and had great flow. Thing is that most of the parts of thi project look very lot alike which gives the project a homogene feeling. This is however a two edged sword, on the one had it helps the project to have a unique feeling to it on the other hand in tends to get boring if you're not into it that much.

And another sidenote, afterall the video was a disappointement to an extend since the track I was looking to the most music wise was the most simple track (and as well the outro) of the whole project and somehow it saddens me that I didn't sign up for this track afterall, not having the time for it back then. I should actually edit some electro-mep again, watching this I really got some motivation to edit electric music again. It's so nice and easy

. All in all I'd give this video 7.2 of 10 I think.

OMFG FINALLY *GETS*

EDIT: *cough* Okay, I have to admit that I was expecting more

I loved the first Ayumix because it had such an intensive feel to it but this was a bit... boring... The editing was pretty average in most tracks, I missed the originality of the first one, especially with the effects... I didn´t like the mix that much too and -perhaps this is the fault of my pc cause it´s the case with all mp4-files I dl lately- the quality was really bad... There were a few tracks I liked i. e. the Fullmoon, Haruhi/Lucky Star and Sailor Moon/Pretea etc. ones...

I expected better. I was watching this up to 6 minutes and I got sad. All the tracks up to that moment were a big Dissapointment. The didn't flow well, the effects seemed unclean and some just looked very distracting and annoying. I even had to close my eyes for a few seconds, because it really hurt my eyes, the flow and synching were totally weird and made my head spin. Especially SacredArrow18's Track made my eyes hurt. But then suddenly..After getting through this sadness, Mamo!'s track came in and I got happy. It totally kicked me out of the "dissapointed Mood" and made me think it was worth going through this just for this Track. Then Kristyrat's track and Reigna's & Aerialesque's Tracks came in and I got even happier. Then..The happieness stopped at Chiikaboom's Part which dissapointed me again. Kisanzi's Track pulled it back up again (well, at least the first half of it, the second half was another dissapointment). The Sailormoon/other stuff track started off nice, but got boring (also felt like it might have worked better with ONLY Sailor moon as source and no multi anime). Alex Daikou's track had its nice moments, but some of the masking just looked extremly akward (especially the masked landscape/Bg stuff...).

Overall I expected lots more of this, you dissapointed me
