Wow.  you weren't kidding. 

I really like how the lead character moves.  Some very cool design elements in there too.  thank you for posting this.

Seriously epic man. When the scorpion bot came out, I was saying..."OH MAN." That...dude...that was amazing.

Cardmaster

Wow, that was fantastic! I LOVE the character design as well! That blue flop of hair is just delightful.

Reminds me of Aeon Flux minus the art that only I seemed to like. Very cool.

I guess I've been on the internet too long but I was really expecting this to be a rick roll.
Glad it wasn't, really cool video. Fighting is awesome. I could have done without the heavy breathing, but I guess that's just a weird thing about me.
I apologize in advance for everything I say on here. I regret it immediately after clicking post.

You didn't like the breathing? I thought it was a great part of the character - sorta Darth Vader-esque.

Awesome show. Thanks for sharing!

Yeah, I found it really interesting. An atypical character for that sort of action. I liked it. Made me wonder what the story behind the guy was.

Well, looks like i'm the only one who didn't enjoy it...
okay it's pretty but...that's it. We got every clich? possible in 5 min of video (the fight with the guards...common, you're really gonna do the "i don't move while they circle around me then get them out at flash speed" trick?).
Worst: this is supposed to be a proof of concept for a movie trilogy. There's not even a plot, or a begining of characterisation for the hero.
The universe is pretty generic, the art too (meaning: the inspiration are clear; it well executed, but nothing we've never seen)

So yeah...blah. MIddly enjoyable in one viewing. Probably won't watch it again. And definitely not worthy of a movie, much les a trilogy.

If they're showcasing their skills in cgi, then let them have a job on a movie. The only thing I didn't like in that was the screen turns black and a white slash goes across. That's just anime laziness. But I agree, it would make a terrible movie or even video game.

Guess I'm not jaded enough. I liked the city and didn't find much too clich? ( One man's clich? is another's cool genre bit brought to life.) The only things i didn't like were the cheap screen dark white slashes and the guards geologic reflexes. I even ground the city an interesting design.

All in perspective I suppose.

That one is good. However, this clip is epic.

That was disturbing.  I now need to erase those images out of my mind and I have no idea what will do it.  I may have to break out the kids' "Miss Patty Cake" video.  Thanks a bunch.

In regard to the original clip, I have to join the ranks of those who didn't like it.  I didn't like the Power Rangeresque sword play that slices and dices like a Ginsu, nor the theatrical pauses for no good reason except a pose.  I didn't like the Dragonball hairdo.  And I especially did not like the fact that an automatic turret could possibly shoot at a falling target in a high arc, which target could not possibly evade the weapons fire, and still miss.  I'm sure it will have its' audience, but I won't be in it.

Thanoson wins.  ;)

I admit, if this is all the final product is, I'd probably be bored pretty quick.  As a self contained clip, it's kinda fun,partially due to the over-the-toppedness.  There's one clip where the protagonist either runs out of ammo or realizes the guns aren't doing squat, and suddenly darts away as the guns hang there in mid-air for a moment, and I have to laugh because there's something almost Looney Toons about the shot.
