You know, I´d love to see the movie and give you feedback on it, but it seems as though the movie isn´t available to germans yet ;)

Ah works like a charm now.
Now to the feedback part:

I really enjoy the music and the way the animations are tied in with it.
The concept of a Samurai DJ is a bit weird at first but seems to work out quite nicely.
A couple of things bugged me a little bit though, firstly the animation of the Samurai on his turntables at 0:23
look a little weak e.g very repetitive (loops might be too short).
Even though I understand what is happening there the watcher is kept in the dark about why this is happening.
This might be on purpose to spark interest but I feel like the really interesting part in the video (where he "spins back time") isn´t as clear/as interesting as it could be.
The fighting animations are spot on and really deliver a dynamic and fluid feeling of a fight, same goes for the great use of special effects.
The character is absolutely great, especially the samurai himself ;)

And to answer the question of the poll:
Please do another one ;)


just my 2 cents, hope I wasn´t too harsh
