I was a little worried starting this up because of the sheer length of it, but this was pretty sweet. Good job.

Re: The Age Of Spiralism
I've held off on commenting until I've watched the hell out of it. This is a perfectly paced emotional rollercoaster that presents itself as an AMV. Watching it made me actually tap into the mish-mash of feelings and emotions this video conveys, and it was DEEP, in fact, it went A LOT deeper than I'm used to in AMVs. As already mentioned, this feels incredibly earnest and personal, rather than pretentious. If I were to judge it as an AMV, I would say that it was perfectly crafted: the cuts, the pacing, the use of text, the overall sync - it all shows that you were extremely meticulous with the technical side of things, which genuinely enhances the overall message you were conveying and makes me glue my eyes to the screen for absolutely every second of the video. But like Begi pointed out: this can not be judged as "just" an AMV, because it's more than that. It feels like it transcends the boundaries of an AMV and goes above and beyond it's archetypal framework, and the end result is something truly amazing. It really is your Magnum Opus, unless you manage to SOMEHOW top it off later down the line because I know you are an extremely ambitious son-of-a-gun (which is oddly reminiscent of TTGL's main motif).

Re: The Age Of Spiralism
Thanks everyone. It's funny how the comments range from ones like begi's and then one's like shin's haha, not many bad comments so far though, so I'm happy, thanks.

Re: The Age Of Spiralism
So many spoilers T_T I know, I'm stupid but I'm a fan of your videos and I didn't want to wait till I watch gurren lagann.
I loved it so much, text was perfectly put with the clips and didn't divert attention. I didn't even notice the ultra lenght too.
It gived me emotions so it was amazing, really good job gotegenks!

Re: The Age Of Spiralism
Interesting video overall, but it wasn't perfect. I appreciated the whole experience without watching from an AMV standpoint, but most of the texts were more of a distraction for me rather than enhancing the experience in this case. Although, on the positive note, I didn't feel it was long at all considering the length of this video and, as said it was interesting and original on it own way, but overall it wasn't my cup of tea in the end.

Re: The Age Of Spiralism
God... it was great despite your typos choice were bad and a bit too much intrusive but somehow... that is what makes the charm of your video.
I was completely taken in it, I loved it, and well... that is the kind of tribute Gurren Lagann deserves, as a fan myself, I'm just pleased to see such a video. Earlier this week, I said to my french fellas I can't watch vids longer than 2:30 anymore, you just made me lie dude.
Well done.
