[OcularAMVs]

Hey guys! So I haven't posted any AMVs for a while now but I took some time and finished my second one!
I spent a lot of time on it and I am pretty happy on the way it turned out! I'd really like it if you guys could give me your thoughts, critiques, and check out my video! Thank you!

You need to get some sources without watermarks, like RAW episodes or bluray. As for the AMV itself, some of the scenes midway through got a bit draggy (like one whole same fight for the first chorus is a bit dull, even with flashes shoved in). Also some of the flashes were either off sync or not needed at all. Wasn't too bad for second AMV attempt though

The TV mark, in the top right corner, shows it's from HDTV source, as in copied straight from TV.

So it's not BD quality which A) doesn't have watermarks and B) usually has had questionable animation edited/fixed so it doesn't look rushed from when they did the weekly TV run

I like to be the sugar to Guthix's spice (what a ton of spice it is. More like mace actually)

Yeah the source is just Japanese audio at 720p but I didnt really care at all about the watermark. I keep searching everywhere for the very best source but when you have such limited choices, this is the best you will find on the internet.

Guilty Crown is a pretty easy anime to find in blu ray etc. Try places like Nyaatorrents

Salutations. It seems you need a bit of assistance from a technical perspective. Those were more than likely soft subtitles, meaning can turn the subs off. If the video is an mkv, that means that the subtitles have been saved as a stream separate from the video, in the form of an .srt or .ass file.
