Watch in HD/720; youtube loves butchering quality ~
All I can say is that.... I love Nezumi and Sion so much. -shot- ;A; They're both so awesome in their own ways. And I love this anime, definitely one of my all time favorites.
I was able to get Sony Vegas back last week and No. 6 was one of the first animes I re-downloaded then I came across this idea and worked like mad on this video... I really should do my summer homework, I'm dead.
So I wanted to focus on the cities No. 6 and the Western District. Along with the cities, I wanted to show Sion and Nezumi's life or rather, mainly the story of Sion's predicament that occurred at the start of the plot with Sion starting off as being a submissive citizen of the city No. 6 to him doubting the city's intentions. In my mind I always thought of Nezumi as representing the harsh Western District and Sion as the seemingly innocent No. 6. Therefore, near the end I shifted the focus to Nezumi, whom rages war against No. 6 but also cannot help not aiding Sion which therefore results in self-conflict. Being a writer myself, I couldn't help myself from exploiting the amazing plot this anime has to offer as well as the strong character development in the series. There are other elements put into the story of this video like why most of the scenes are black and white with only Sion and Nezumi colored. It was because No. 6 is a very black and white city, that inhabits people with no real opinion. And Sion being one of those kinds of people himself, is colorless at the beginning until he began to revolt, while Nezumi is always colored because of his rejection of No. 6. However, when they both got to the Western District, everything is colored because the Western District is a place where people think for themselves.
It's not really my usual style of editing, and it's not very good, but its the style I truly love. I'll probably be editing like this from now on.
Song: Watercolour by Pendulum
Anime: No. 6

This is a pretty good video . ^_^ Only thing is, if you were to add the car blowing up on the bridge, and Nezumi forcing Shion's head down as the car slams through the glass, it would have been more intense. Also, you fell off a little at the end. But overall, you did a nice job. I imagine it was hell to do all those flashes on time. XD

I can see what you're getting at, it was a bit hard to squeeze everything in considering the length of the song. ^^" So I cut those out. But I do agree with you it would have been more intense if I added those in, thank you for your advice. :3
Thank you. <33 Well the flashes weren't so bad, the masks were quite annoying (considering I still have some errors). If it was not for my love for Sion and Nezumi, I doubt I could have finished all the masking I did in this video. xD
