- Offsite links are allowed, but you are required to have a catalog entry for that video as well. Threads announcing videos that do not contain a catalog entry will be moved to the Awaiting Catalog Entry sub-forum and will be deleted in 2 weeks if an entry is not created.
- When posting announcements, it is recommended that you include links to the catalog entries (using the video ID) in your post.

I would have to agree with this statement.Orwell wrote:Technically very impressive, but I'm sick of das omen. If you had carried a story through this video, instead of it being random within a general theme, this would have been one of/the best video I've seen this year.
Technically and visually the video is superb, a bit clumsy at times though, but it just lacks any real idea, concept or story. I've seen quite a lot of technically good videos and once you've seen one, you've pretty much seen them all. Maybe a few new little things can be brought up at times but it is nothing too innovating.
Only thing you're missing is the background cocept behind the visual aspect. A story, theme, message or anything. The outstandng visual quality can never stand alone when it comes to animemusicvideos.

That was pure sex for the eyes Respect for the massive amount of work you put in there. Too bad this song is used pretty often in other good videos... some more lyricsynch would've also been nice
Then again, considering it as pure eyecandy, this is awesome. Just the song doesn't do it for me, I thought from the start that E-Nomine sucks
@ others: Can't you just lay back and enjoy the eyecandy without searching for a meaning? It would've been lost anyway within all the effects, making the video actually worse

Of course Tono had an usually strong opinion of this animemusicvideo, but at least it wasn't along the usual lines you sometimes see here. He actually included a little bit of constructive criticism to go with his reply! One could though suspect, if he despises technical videos from the start, but that is only an assumption and off-topic.try years
and also seconded, stop being an asshat tono
If you ask me, this was just one guy who didn't like the video for it's fancy effects and decided to tell his ugly truth. A real asshat would have just flamed the video - end of post. So, are people here over-sensitive or taking the editing hobby so seriously that criticism of anykind is not allowed?
Posting to an already-replied thread only to call him an asshat because of a statement like that is a bit immature. In all honesty, I think it needs a lot more than just a "mean" ending sentence to come back and diss the guy.
If someone said that about my video, I would accept the fact that he didn't like a fully visual AMV and move on. Can't please everyone, now can we? Besides, in the end it is just one guy's opinion and saying something like that only applies to his own case.
Why am I defending the guy who went a bit overboard with his opinion... Actually I would only like to fight the issue, that criticizing a video is slowly becoming into a taboo here. Now that I think about it, maybe I am taking this too seriously on my part. Anyway, carry on. Don't take my posts too seriously folks.
