Wow, those effects are hot.

This video is technically great, but really hard for me to enjoy.

If the effects had more variety and if you relied on syncing action in the scenes rather than the effects (like turning the noise on and off and hexagons; you know what I mean), it would have held my attention better. The lack of extreme variety in the effects is also unfortunate. It's still a very well made video, however.

I actually like the "lack of variety" in effects because it gives the video a good sense of unity. Personally, I think that the differences in geometry and color schemes for each characters is enough.

Well, I don't mean change the style completely. Like the window things he had coming up on beat during Gaara's sequence, that seemed like something fresh but didn't take away from the style of the video.

It seemed more like a demo trailer for a video game than a music video. It's kind of hard to tell what exactly you were going for. If you were going for just a really techy, little-substance, effects show, than that's cool. If you were going for an actual music video, than.. eeeeeeeeeeeehh.....

I also agree on the lack of variety in the effects. A lot of the motion, shapes, etc. looked duplicated throughout the entire thing (not ALL of it mind you, just quite a few things)

very artistic but thats about it. i bet you put a lot of time into it but it's nothing spectacular to me. i thought the idea was rather original though.

Definately interesting, and geez, @_@ I can only imagine the patience that must have taken, it looks so tedious.

The only complaint from me would be that in some sections, (Neji's in particular) soooo much was going on, it was hard to follow and my eyes couldn't find a stable focus.

But still very snazzy

Cool video. It's obvious that you put a lot of effort into it, resulting in a nice display of effects while demonstrating unique character techniques. Sometimes it's hard to see the characters' actions amidst all of the overlays, however, and things get a little repetitive during the second half of the vid. Otherwise, I think the quality of your editing is pretty high, so keep up the good work.

It could have used more fx

I thought it was pretty cool, and the effects were very well done. Original Idea also. But like others said, the novelty will wear off, and the video will get old after a while, since there is little substance to it beyond those things.

Techncially though, awesome work.
