Well, I have to say that AMA and Crakt Smurf really stand out with their tracks so the other's don't look as good. But overall it's solid editing combined with good music altough some more reference-parts would have been nice. Also I have alot respect for the outro which looks better than most parts of the project itself, someone here know's how to handle his programs. Definietly one of the better MEPs I've seen so far. Gonna keep it of course.

P.S. Any possibility to get a h264 ?

Damn eye candy editors stealing the show from the old-style editors. All in all I enjoyed the MEP, working on and working with everyone. Everyone's tracks were pretty solid.

Only thing I didn't like was how pretty much none of the tracks (video wise and musically) melded together. But it's pretty easy to get past that.

And like I told AMA before, OVERKILL!!!!! lol. That outro is freaking amazing, i love it.

Not bad, some tracks were weaker than others but never enough to make me say "Ouch". I paticularly dug the Berserk, Appleseed, Akira, and YYH tracks. I kinda halfway dug everything else. As a whole I felt like the audio editting made the project feel somewhat disjointed (as in some tracks were just way too short, you couldn't absorb one song before you were hit with the next). However, in many cases the editors made up for it by picking sources that went well with their particular songs. The only one that didn't make much sense to be was Mezzo with The Mission, but w/e.

I enjoyed the effects to a point (I'd say about 3/5 of them), but at times they were WAY overboard (as in you couldn't even discern what was on the screen, how are we supposed to feel a 30STM scream if all that's on the screen is 3 layers of footage with 10 filters ;p ). This was particularly apparent in the Esca, X TV, and Armitage tracks. They were good for the most part, but sometimes it felt like you guys didn't really know what to put on screen, so you'd just slap on some serious fast framage when you should've picked a clear focal scene of some kind.

Overall, good project, not amazingly fantastical to me, but well done all.

P.S. First album > Second, I cite this project as evidence

This is amazing, I never even thought it would come out to be this good.

I have to disagree with some of the negative points that were mentioned here. I think that because of the difference in editing styles everything develops its own kind of flow from the more choppy style to the part at the end where even the audio transitions seem to merge better than before. The fact that its only 13minutes long also increases the reviewability a lot for me. The kind of visual sources that were chosen are also a big part of what makes this project stand out for me (no, not only the fact that I took part in it heh)

So great work everyone *thumbsup*
