As I recall this is nothing compared to the fallout from Euphoria way back when.

Can you believe that was, what. 3 years ago?

Only a few weeks short of four.

O:

I suppose I should address some of the comments in here

On the hype:
- it's my fault for sending betas/previews to all corners of the world, and with the length of time I had worked on this (on and off for 9 months, like making a baby O: ), there were many people that I ended up sending to (I actually forgot to credit a few in the credits, maybe I'll sneak in a version with that rectified)
- probably safe to say that people have expected a large-scale video from me at some point, so that's another cause... can't be helped, expected, but still overwhelmed

- i'm pleased wth the reaction so far, in the same way that the show itself has been viewed, love it or found it boring (aside from the obvious 'hey, let's hate this and undermine the effort, simply bc he's koop and is too popular for his own good blah blah blah)

On the video:
- from a technical standpoint, my best video, learned two new programs to make this after all... weird to think I'd never used photoshop till this video (fun fact: over 3000 psd files were made and used in this video)
- from a general viewpoint, i can't really say whether this is my best or not, its very closely tied into the anime for me. As a fan of the anime, I might be inclined to say this was my best, but of just amvs in general, maybe not so much.

I have gotten used to the criticism over the years, but it still irks me when effort is undermined. Its understandable if people don't like a video or just plain hate the 'popularity' surrounding my name or anyone elses, but not giving credit to effort is just ..well.. ah doesn't matter

Thanks for all the comments again O:

I'm going to undermine this post because it's already received too many positive reviews.

P.S. For the people who don't know anything about Jay, he's extremely humble and has no interest in being AMV famous. Stop blaming him for the fact that Euphoria became extremely popular. That wasn't his motivation for making it.

P.P.S. Damaged Rei Mix ftw.

I watched it last night and just now.
Everything is very depressing through all the scenes. I wish an amv could turn a mood around from middle to end.
Still one of the best I guess poppy pacing videos I have seen. I really like rainbows, and this one had plenty, but it could of had more at maybe the 3/4 mark where the pacing started to get really dull since it was always the same. For future videos you should have a 10 second area where you just overblow our eyes with the main theme.

Pacing was inherent from the song... but this will be remedied with the release of the full version of this video..

hint: rap solo by one of the characters... presented in well.. ull see

PS - the full version of this song is 5 minutes long (enough candy pop to kill anyone), so about another 1:20 of video will be added in the next few months.

OH OH OH OH OH OH

The final version's great! It definitely felt like a music video in every sense of the word.

Wow. Is it subliminal messages that now require me to eat skittles? Or just the awesomeness of this video.

Yeah, it's the messages.

licking Koop's ass has become an org past-time... I mean us noobs sort of start with trying to pick his brain... but I'm afraid he prefers it this way- too Koop 'ass' and 'brain' are synonymous. Get with the picture.
