Epic. The seemingly natural 4chan memes really added some humor. True Madness, right here.
I especially loved the kitchen scene. No more than five seconds upon entering, there's a longcat fuck and agent shit just leaps out in every which direction. So chaotic - so beautiful.
If you ever make a sequel, I expect some shoopings.

The music was really powerful behind this. The fight scenes were not only well choreographed, but packed a powerful emotion atmosphere to them. The newer renditions of the Madness characters was ideal for this quasi-ending. You took a short amount of time to build up a strong background and unleashed it making a plot unnecessary. The ending was great with Jebus being crucified. Very symbolic.
I wish i could envision stuff like this and just belt it out the way you did.

Let me start this on a personal note. At first, the Xionico series seemed to be a load of bull. It reminded me of the average DBZ fanboy trying to utilize an overrated plot to appeal to the majority of NG (who consist of immature kids). The original animation was not my taste and the action was bland to a degree.
Even before I voted, I heard fellow NGers showing distaste for how this achieved such first place in the current ratings.
However, this episode changed it all. Despite the lack of character behind the dialogue and he cheesiness of the aforementioned, I loved this. This is a quality, original Madness movie. I say original, despite the fact it's very anime-ish, because you took Madness, added color, your own style, and non-Madness qualities, such as hi-tech futuristic weapons and science fiction-esque qualities.
The art is exceptionally amazing. How you are able to render all of these effects without lag is beyond me. Xero's new armor was very well done, as was the continually deteriorating/regenerting antagonist Omega fought. The lighting effects were incredible, as was the scene where everything was in semi-darkness (this also reduced lag). The movement of characters was swift and cleverly planned, which shows this was not your average tween rape. The helicopter scene was very tense. Camera cinematics really did it for the atmosphere.
The skitching fight between Omega and the XY project was a little lacking in sound, but the effects were dazzling. And I liked the idea of how Kari and Askad were sort of fused to replace his absence. Oh, and that bulletstop. Though it nearly lagged my computer the fuck out, it was a brilliantly designed effect.
I'm going against all my morals to vote high on this, but this deserves a good place in the ratings. Congrats, my friend.

I am quite fond of songs that start out slow and classical, serving as a sort of contrast to the quicker parts. The transition from something more orchestral to something very drum and bass styled was excellent. I could picture a very Madnessy scene that this song could be utilized in. You have a gift.
10/10

I'd say the lack of skill contrasts the awesome beat, but that would be untrue. I can't tell what makes it so funny. Guess it's the seriousness in itt all. Then again, it's barely serious. God, you are good.

The instruments give a real oceany mood to the song. I like the hi-hat bits in there. They're really what gives the wave break feel to it. I still feel that Prison Ship was better, but do as you wish.
