Bleach- "The Poet and the Pendulum" AMV, Part 2

This is the second part of my "Poet and the Pendulum" AMV. The link to the first can be found here:

Overall, it took me a long time to get
everything to work out with the song, and had to deal with a data loss when I was at 9 minutes the first time(went back down to 4 minutes...). I am planning on entering this into an AMV contest for the next convention I go to, and wanted as much feedback as possible. I will probably add some more music matching flashes/transitions to the first half as I see fit, but maybe not. I you would like to comment, do it on the second half of the video.

As a theme, I would have to say that it was meant to be kind of a recap of the first major part of the Bleach plot, and as such it focuses mostly on the experiences of Ichigo Kurosaki and Rukia Kuchiki.

The Lyrics are as follows:

Second robber to the right of Christ
Cut in half - infanticide
The world will rejoice today
As the crows feast on the rotting poet

Everyone must bury their own
No pack to bury the heart of stone
Now he's home in Hell, serves him well
Slain by the bell, tolling for his farewell

The morning dawned upon this altar
Remains of the dark passion play
Performed by his friends without shame
Spitting on his grave as they came

Get away, run away, fly away
Lead me astray, to dreamer's hideaway
I cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more
I cannot die, I, the whore for the cold world
Forgive me, I have but two faces
One for the world,
One for God save me
I cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more
I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world
A whore for the cold world
A whore for the cold world

Today, in the year of our Lord, 2005
Tuomas was called from the cares of the world
He stopped crying at the end of each beautiful day
The music he wrote had too long been without silence
He was found naked and dead
With a smile in his face, a pen and 1000 pages of erased text

Save me!

Be still, my son
You're home
Oh when did you become so cold?
The blade will keep on descending
All you need is to feel my love

Search for beauty, find your shore
Try to save them all, bleed no more
You have such ocean's within
In the end
I will always love you

The beginning

If you could see me, id be applauding. Finally a well made bleach amv, of the few that ive seen and liked. Good job.

[ByakuyaTaichou]

Wewt! I'm glad that you liked my work.

[jlenard13]

Gah, the first part is already gone! T_T

[gpersefone]

I love your video, it's the greatest one amv I've ever seen, but please, be careful with Nightwish songs.

This site deleted one of my videos, with a Nightwish song, due to copyright. So I really hope that won't happen to you.

Are you kidding me? That part was awesome!

[LordZeranos]

its too bad u had to split the song in 2 parts

[Tryco2]

the there were parts of it i dont think matched up well with the pace of the music, others were perfect. the end part (time stamp 9:30 onward, video2 timestamp 2:30 on) i think was one of the best. i love this song. as already commented you could speed up battle scenes. just a thought: you could also use some of the newer footage to match better. they up the stakes with the 5th arc (the prewar rescue of inoe area)

[AdamusUmbra]

i hate that screaming part of the song, that really ruins it, but otherwise its good and this is a great amv.

[madaligia]

good job =D>

i know it's tough work to do such a long amv... but it's great ..congrats:)

5/5 too bad for youtube's 10 minute limit though

[sexyfatz]

yes, fabulous. my first ever anime, was getting a bit cheesed recently, with people criticising it for being boring and i found myself agreeing. this reminded me why i watched it up till now. i've been hoping content would match the early episodes.

only thing was a little unnecessary bits for someone very familiar with the content
