hmmm.. This was interesting, How you used only footage from chi's books, it was just... idk, kinda boring. I mean. I realise thsi isn't a fast song, but it isn't THAT slow.

Blame it on lack of footage, Nerdy ;p Ya know, there are only 3 books...

Well the lack of footage isn't what made it to slow moving and kinda boring. I mean, I'm sure it attributed to it, but. 4 minutes of long ass book footage is just kinda boring XD. I mean, you could have added in at least a couple refrences to a story line within the real world of the anime and the book world, just here and there to liven things up, so to speak.

...I *really* liked this. I was utterly surprised, because I was not expecting this at all, but you did an excellent job. Song choice was absolutely perfect, scene selection just worked so well with the lyrics, and it never looked cheesy or strained. The story was clear and emotionally engaging...I gotta say, this really caught me off-guard o_O I personally wasn't ever bored with the video, because I was really into the story and I thought everything fit really well.

My one complaint is that the last third of the video could have used a bit more "oomph" when the song picked up pace, but honestly I wasn't really even that disappointed with that part of the video.

Oh, and you got it in the wrong AR.

But yeah man, this is definitely cool, and I don't doubt I'll be rewatching it a lot on the near future. You done Rokujinshou proud, good sir

4.5/5

hmm, perhaps I am just to used to seeing people getting punched in the face and effects everywhere lately that I can't appreciate this vid. Plus I was hyper when I watched it and didn't pay FULL attention.. I'll give it another look in a day or two and see what I can get out of it

You get major, unbelievable amounts of win for the originality of concept. Chobits is 95% sappy (and mostly crappy) romance videos, 4% are comedy, and then you get ones like... this. And I LOVE the idea for this one.

Okay, so it was mostly just simple beat and lyric sync, but the sync works so well in this case. It's one of those videos that you keep around just because it's good and so completely different from anything else using its source. I was very surprised to see that you were able to do this with such limited footage, and I'm glad you did.

Thanks for offering the community a Chobits video that nobody saw coming.

referencing the story line is just what I DIDN'T want to do. That's cuz Chobits (the rest of chobits) is all sap and cheap jokes. I didn't want to pull that emotion out of ppl. I wanted to... KILL them with depression

lol

I learned this from the rest of my (mostly) failed projects. DON'T try to make something into more than it already is.

lol (and not as an excuse cuz I TOTALLY understand 'THE' [not just you! everybody has this] complaint here) but one can only 'make' so many scenes here lol.

I understand your concern and reservations of actually liking the video but you just got this thing flying around the back of your head -_- you simply can't help it, your a dork o.0 (just like the rest of us lol I'm just playing around heh).

Thanks man ;p I actually had an argument with myself as to which studio I should put it in lol I'm glad I picked the right one (but oh crap I misspelled it didn't I?? damit well I can fix that 1 minute...).

Don't worry about it 8D I don't really take these things so seriously so... I hope you come to the proper conclusion in the future though! But, yeah, it probly takes a more laid back person like myself to fully enjoy (or not enjoy...) this.

Tell me about it, I feel like I'd been watching this video ever since I first thought of it, five years ago!! Now if only somebody ELSE went and made some of these videos for me I'd be able to end my torture, but...

until than, it's 1 video a month or so for me!! lol

Thanks for the replies everyone! I'm glad even I can't make burnt cookies all the time -_-.
