You really did hit the nail on the head for the theme. This is one of the best, if not the best, non-traditional action AMVs I have ever seen! Congrats on your win!

[@MagicflierRawr]

Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed it! ;3

[@shorisquared]

You're welcome! I expect lots more good stuff from you in the future, hehe!

I always re-watch all the Saki series every month, because this anime is really fun! and this anime has very meaningful songs

[@onesnowyday28]

YESSSS SAKI

[@MagicflierRawr]

AWHHHYEEEEE

[@Cracotte06]

Trust me, I've seen a lot of Saki AMVs. Still, this one was exceptional, probably the best I've seen so far. Great job.

[@MagicflierRawr]

+Cracotte06 I would recommend giving this one a watch! kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2nCdaRsib2rkNU but thank you very much, I am glad you love it as a fellow Saki fan! :D

[@mcnuggers5380]

Intense. This game can get very serious.

[@caprisun1808]

Oh my god i wanna rewatch this anime again

[@melodysam6903]

I use to watch this amv over and over when I was younger; totally obsessed with it!!! It really brings back memories now that I’ve seen it again. But anyways this is an amazing amv!

[@MagicflierRawr]

I am glad to hear that

[@BlueCometACE]

Congratulations to this video!!! It was officially announced as the winner for Best Action AMV at this year's Animethon in Edmonton! Thank you so much for entering this, it was so unique for an Action AMV and i was blown away by it! Well done!! :D

[@MagicflierRawr]

AHHH! I'm proud as a canadian myself to hear that! I'm glad that you enjoyed it at the con's showing! Thank you! :3

[@animspirationist17]

Ok, so from the Gecko you have my endless support for ending the AMV using Nodoka's beautiful face, but from the beginning of 0:23 part, it already got crazy, I thought 'I am done, they essentially have described the whole vibe of the anime in a few seconds through that part"

[@ぐわんげ-c5h]

こんな神MADがあったとはあああ！！

[@MagicflierRawr]

ありがとうございます！

[@pathosprime8778]

If Kidd hadn't picked this as her AMV League Wild Card in Season 2, I probably would have. This is the video that got me into both Saki AND Riichi Mahjong. ^_^

[@MagicflierRawr]

Haha, I am glad to hear that :'D

[@mewpudding138]

I'm so happy this video exists. I don't see much love go to Saki at all so seeing this Anime Boston made me smile the minute I saw it on the finals list. Keep up the great work. :D

[@MagicflierRawr]

hamstar138 Thanks ya! I am glad you enjoyed it at AnimeBoston!!

[@mewpudding138]

^w^ Your welcome! Spread the Saki love!!

[@camichan19]

Congrats on your Kigacon win this weekend! I've loved this AMV for quite a while, and it really deserves the victory. ;D

[@MagicflierRawr]

***** Thanks ya!@ Glad the crowd enjoyed it! To add, congratulations for your own win! :D

[@AMVaddictionist]

MagicflierRawr Already at "embrace the Saki". I guess I should go to editing now

[@MaddhatterBreak]

Oh my goshhhh! I love this so much. Instant favourite

[@chikasole]

WOOOP IT'S UP

[@xGeminii]

Best Saki AMV EVERRR D8< Amazing job Bryannn!!!

[@MagicflierRawr]

ALL OUR ROUND 2 VIDEOS ARE NOW UP o:

[@creamice5716]

[@diariootaku807]

[@CreamyNality]

This need more viewers, this is amazing :O

[@rechanginghearts]

Amazing job I loved the timing and everything Good luck in the round 8DD

[@nizuki672]

Amazing ... Just Amazing ...

[@tagguten4940]

I love this video so much, you did great job.

[@xLiloScaries]

wow, Bryan, you matched the scenes so well to the song! very nice!

[@OumaeK]

AWESOME

[@Yogaji]

Voted for this at AX14. It's been a while since I saw an AMV that made me want to watch anime, play a game (Mahjong), and fire me up without showing much physical fighting in it. Good work!

[@MagicflierRawr]

Then missions successful! I was aiming to get more people interested into this anime enough to support it, haha. Thank you for the compliments and support for this edit at AX!

[@ZozoAnn_]

I tell you what dear, this is AMAZING like the way you matched up their actions so so sooooo well to the music it was as if this song was made for the game played in this anime. You made the anime looks SO EPIC as well, brilliant panning in bits and a great response to a non traditional action :) and 3 mins worth of editing in 5-6 days is IMPRESSIVE.

[@MagicflierRawr]

The pain was all worth it in the end XD I hope you'll come back again to check out the other two entries my teammates edited as they were also just as impressive; thank you zozo!

[@ZozoAnn_]

Oooo of course I will :D it's so great to be back and seeing everyone editing, just gotta wait until graduation now to get a new external, I WANNA EDIT TOO >.

[@MagicflierRawr]

xZozomon ...and now they are now finally all up 8| I honestly didn't expect you to come back to editing though after your last K-ON edit xDDD It would be great to see that lovely editing come back again though! Hope you go for it Zozo!

[@ZozoAnn_]

It's still taking a back seat for now but I am planning solo projects and doing a few meps, tbh its not the same as it used to be, i miss being in a studio and things, feeling like a have a family, but I think its something I will definitely be able to do to relax when I'm not teaching as of september but for now I'm hoping people will just support my singing whilst i can do that at home and just hang tight :3

[@allie-n]

woah, this is really really well-done!~^^ your timing's great! this song sounds waaay too hard to edit with uwu i have no idea how you did it; -aah i should really catch up to saki already-

[@arthmv]

I LOVE YOUR VIDEO!!! THANKS!!!

[@milkmandan]

brilliant saki amv

[@tukibankaiBBS]

MArevelous thanks to did ut, my best congratz I love the song and this anime and I really be so emoted, thanks you did it a great job ^^

[@EndlessTsubaki]

Wonderful~ Mahjong is such a fun game.

[@VoicelessMist]

omg this song and editing uahfauihrihew i must try the anime omggg

[@MelyoraMel]

Wait what? O_O How to make Mahjong look cool: watch this video. That was absolutely brilliant O_0 Your scenes synced really nice with the music, and you just made it amazing! - But sometimes I wonder how animes like this exist XD -

[@Dragonrider1227]

Saw this at Anime Boston. I've never seen this anime but I've played Mahjong. (Well, a Windows version of it anyway) A good game but "fast paced" and "action packed" is not how I'd describe it. Yet you managed to portray it as that in this AMV and I am immensely impressed by that feat. Very good video here :)

[@MagicflierRawr]

Dragonrider1227 haha thank you very much for the mahjong praise ! :D

[@Dragonrider1227]

MagicflierRawr You're welcome :) You made a really cool and unique video. Had you competed at Anime Boston before? This was my first time

[@MagicflierRawr]

I competed before but never made it to finalist; until this year came :3 I can hope that you keep trying as well

[@Dragonrider1227]

MagicflierRawr Great. Congrats on making it :) What else did you send to them? Yeah I was real surprised I was a finalist myself since it was my very first time. Were you there? What'd you think of mine?

[@MagicflierRawr]

I wasn't there but i did check out the other finalists when the results came out! So after checking back, you were the one who edited the AstroBoy edit... emotional-wise, it was a fresh air to see someone edit that really old anime, but i wasn't fond of the slow tempo; so it was half/half enjoyment for me xD these are my honest thoughts

[@Spirits4LifeDa3rd]

Awesome

[@こやのかずと]

すげ

[@Kasugano]

Saw this at AnimeExpo and I have to say this was amazing. It was a hard choice between this AMV and Control the Redline for best Action/Adventure

[@MagicflierRawr]

I'm glad that you enjoyed it there! I should've gone this year... :( Thank you for the compliments and support for this edit!

[@M3rtyville]

Maybe I should learn Mahjong

[@MaddhatterBreak]

BRYAAAAN!! That song

[@MagicflierRawr]

THANK YOU BOOOO LOL can't believe you actually commented before watching it, you need to know what to expect girl XD

[@LuluandAuron]

Brilliant. My daughter seen this at Animethon and told me to check it out :) Congrats

[@MagicflierRawr]

Thank you very much! I'm glad your family loved it! :D

[@pointlessman933]

[@Anon21486]

[@MagicflierRawr]

Me mata la duda de cuál fue el pasado de Saki

[@MagicflierRawr]

[@awneey]

Откуда тут некоторые незнакомые моменты? Я такого не видел в 3-х сезонах о_0

[@cardcaptorsakura4700]

WHAT IS THIS. I've never heard of this version of senbonzakura before.. OwO This song matches the video so much lol xD And that timing! AWESOME JOB BRYAN 8D

[@MagicflierRawr]

It's a rock version; i really adored this version when i first listened to it XD I only found out that it was originally a vocaloid song by Miku a bit later. *gives respect to this artist for their naturally awesome covers* ty judy =w=

This is so perfect, really fantastic job. If you're interested, I left a short opinion on the org.

[@MagicflierRawr]

I lurked around and read your first opinion on my TurningTheTables saki video not long ago a bit after Team Warfare started, and am glad to be of service XD Thank you again for leaving another opinion!
