@kenshinorox

It was the only source footage that I had, and too bad I didn't crop the subs completely. I'll be working on it with my new, higher-quality source footage.

[kenshinorox]

@HAVOCprojects lol i didn't think it was a real bad thing it's just too bad this couldn't have it without them. can't wait to see that version :P

Back in my time, VH1 Music News stated that this song was terrible.

But, in Korea, my home country, this song was popular....according to one of my friends.

But in my opinion, this song...what is the appropriate word I am look for? Ah, it's dramatic!

[sagarasousske]

great video, respect from argentina and tanks

[Rivvil]

The original AMV is what got me into Evangelion, since this was my favourite song during my childhood, so it's nice to see a remastered version. Good job!

[mamori86]

I remember this amv from looooooooong ago! Excellent to find it here :3

[terry20401]

i just felt like crying watching this...so many memories when i was a child!

[MoonrayDrake]

Holy shit, this was the AMV that kick-started my descent into Anime-country <3 Gotta love this, and kudos to you for remastering it! I remember I randomly downloaded this on a Lan-Party back in 1999 or something. I found it awesome, but accidentally deleted it from my PC, which I've been regretting for so long. So awesome of you to do this.

[roguewrx]

Wow.

It's great to see all the effort you put in and to read all the praise you had for this video!

It took many, many hours to build this. My original video was compiled from VHS source in 1996/1997, partly domestic dubs (good video quality) and partly fansubs (lower video quality, and I had to work around the hard subs for scene choices). I also had to play with video speed in a few places to make clips fit.

@roguewrx

Whoa, the original maker, huh? It's an honor.

OK, like I said before, this video is actually a response for rei.andrea's remastered version of your AMV. Yeah, its visual quality was very good, but lacking the syncs from the original AMV. So, I had to remade it. And I believe my AMV's visual quality is a bit lower due to its footage (A2000A's fansub in 2 DVDs, and defects on the DVDs causes graphical screw-ups / video glitches like in EVA-01 scene going to shoot Leliel).

@roguewrx

Additionally, this AMV is not HD yet. I finally got a better quality RENEWAL footage, but they're all packed in (probably) QuickTime MP4 files with H264 video - they're all unreadable in my editing program. And it's quite a pain to reconvert them all. I'm also going to put Rebuild footage (1.0 & 2.0) into the HD ver, but I will NEVER post it here, or YT's gonna kill me.

This MV is the best Evangelion MV ever made. Period. It looks awesome in this Hard Worked On Re-Mastered Version. I read your description. I understood you cropped the video. I still think this attempt to preserve this video really kicksass!! You probably didn't want to crop the video too much due to, too much image loss. But, the subs that remain do take away from the feel. When they pop up you can't help but try to read it. Awesome diligence in trying to preserve a masterpiece. I liked it.Thx.

@meinotherside1

I don't speak this foreign language. Please translate it into English before posting.

[caegr]

@HAVOCprojects he's just telling you that the quality is great, spanish is not so hard to learn, try sometime ;-)

[giancarlomc]

@HAVOCprojects he just said: "Great, you fixed the quality compared to the original!...very well!!!"

[pandbgt01]

Not bad. One of my favs of course being from that generation......but I think it could have been better

[DanHerz2]

Es un video realmente increible, de lo mejor, es impresionante, lo recomiendo para todos aquellos amantes de Evangelion, veanlo, no se arrepentiran de ver tan exelente video...

[HAVOCprojects]

@DanHerz2

It's still not perfect. It's not HD yet, and still have some sync miss.

Todavía no es perfecto. No es HD todavía, y aún tienen algo de sincronización perder.

[Dunno if the translation is correct or not]

[MigueCo]

@HAVOCprojects @nyxmaroercheostrea Hey please tell me what would be the best box in the US in terms of quality and all... This uncut came in a box I know, but I ve heard still is a pretty bad quality and edited. Just here on youtube if you search in other languages it looks way better. Please tell me. hey also don't come up with the remake lol I want the original haha

[HAVOCprojects]

Read the description! It almost clearly states about why I'm doing this, in order to crop the subs! Coz my Director's Cut footage are ALL hard-subbed fansub. Got it?

Hey, EVANGELION: DEATH also cropped the TV Series scenes into widescreen. So what?

[tomrule123]

I apologise for what I said and you were right about Evangelion: Death. So I deleted what I said. That's just my bad opinion, ok? OK. Now, let's go back to our normal lives, shall we?

[surfingkoala35]

Wow. Always thought the original Final Countdown AMV was awesomeness personified, but it hasn`t aged at all well. Looked a bit and found your awesome re-mastered version. I love the internet. Kudos to you my friend.

[masterofrockets]

final another fabulously remastered video.

[RPSStudios]

That was awsome!!! 5/5
