Aalthough I may be just biased as a Gode Geass fan, I thought the scene selection in this was very well done to keep my interest till the end without me trying :O

Although theres a few minor syncing issues, Good stuffs. :up:

And I dun think it needed any more effects at all, code geass has enough action in there to hold its own in this kind of song, Rather more effects might have killed it.

Awesome Video sir, this anime actually looked interesting for once.

How come Mecha fits so well with power metal?

EDIT - I really enjoyed it. Song wasn't as good as Kamelot's :wink: lol but still good.
Thanks! The song fit really well in my head. Didn't quite reach the level I imagined.

Loved it. Thumbs up

I need to make a full length Code Geass vid now. I just wish the R2's would hurry up and get here. Season two kicked ass.
Glad you liked it. Season two had its ups and downs for me, but I'm pretty happy with it overall.

D= No kidding, I only finished season 1....now I gotta watch season 2. XD
Haven't watched season 2? What have you been doing these past few months?

Great video but it seemed to need more effects to match the song's speed,especially during the first half.The second half,after the high school interval XD,seemed much fuller and much more fast paced.

Still,very good job.
4/5
The song is fast throughout, but the lyrics are slow at parts and that's what set the pace for my scene selection. I heard the same thing from alot of my friends, but it made sense to me. You would have hated earlier takes of it, this is the fast version, lol.

sexy
but the music is a bit stretched into boringness
3.7/5

Edit: forogt a "s" from "boringnesS" rofl
Thanks. The song is the longest I've worked with. It got boring for me, but I listened to it about 600 times while making this. Making AMVs always ruins songs for me ;_; At least for a while.

Unintended, but thank you.

My thoughts exactly about the effects. Cuts and fades do the job most of the time for me.

Thank you. Mecha and power metal belong to the same tier of awesome. Therefore, they naturally go well together. And the anime is interesting. Sit down and watch it sometime!

Sorry for the late replies, but thanks for the comments everyone.

Video started out slow and unimpressive. This and the fact that it is a bit random are the main drawbacks. Songs was the NUTS! Loved it! You've captured the flow of it pretty well and once the dynamic action started it kept me with my eyes pinned.

4/5

One sexy song :3
5/5 for the editing skills. But yeah, sometimes scenes feel a little random.

4.3/5 total I guess. Definietly a keeper thought.
