I was kind of digging it, until the 3D animation in the middle of the amv. :/

First off, kudos for using one of my favorite songs (Neon Golden is one of my all-time favorite albums in general). I liked the editing itself. Had an interesting flow and progression.

The whole muddy/paint texture thing you had going on didn't seem to serve any purpose. It just looked messy. The 3D in the TV, while done pretty well, also was waaay out of place, and the frame rate thing is definitely distracting. The design of it clashed insanely with the rest of the video. If it had been at the very very end I would have less to complain about, since it's just credits, but it was in the middle of it and it really broke me away from the flow of the video.

But either way, cool to see ya trying new shit.

Defiantly an interesting editing style. I loved the kiss scene at 2:10, the textures I was iffy about but for the most part didn't bug me too much. The 3D was very unfitting for the rest of the video. For your credits you should have stuck with the textures or something along that.
Overall this video sticks out, but I dont plan on watching it again anytime soon.

Well, yes, titles in the middle were a bad idea...but I like how they look on TV, to the same song possessed to a point. We had them styled with the general style of the clip, but I had no idea how to do it, and deadline comming. :(

Eriko Futami was my fave character in kimikiss but I felt the textures ruined this vid, I really wish you would upload an alt version with no textures over the footage coz I would have really liked this vid if then =\ the problem is because I feel that kimikiss's artstyle, especially the backdrop and the ep when Aihara and Futami meet at her apartment, that episode had exceptionally good animation and level of detail, already achieved what you wanted to do with the textures and so it feels 'overdone' to me. 3.5/5

but still cheers for doing a vid to this pair, been waiting for years for a vid of them =P

Well it disappointed me in some ways, you see the theme you used was too banal and the intro also was quite odd (in a bad way, it wasnt detailed and well if you havent mastered 3D modeling then you shouldnt have created something that requires master level of skills for people to like it), though in the middle where the credits were rolling 3D was quite well since it was just simple as it looked.
even though I say it was pretty damn good. coloring was quite amazing, and the transitions were fascinating, also i noticed that you have slowed down the video at least fuxing 3 times at some parts and I cant see a dead frames anywhere. But aside the technical part of the vid, I say that even though it had a banal theme you sure made it and created a vid with some atmosphere and beauty :wink:



P.S please get rid of that intro e_e
Simple.

Big x2

That fx was so distracting/annoying that it made it hard for me to enjoy it. Then came the 3D segment out of nowhere.

This could have easily been a great enjoyable no-fx vid.

3/5
"The people cannot be [...] always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to [...] the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to public liberty. What country can preserve its liberties, if it's rulers are not warned [...] that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants."-Thomas Jefferson

And I liked it, especially 3-D insert at the beginning and end abruptly turned. But the filter did not like spoiled the impression.
