Well you still have the Popotan clip in there, which I think needs to be removed. Cursing is one thing, but a younger girl touching herself is something we should almost definitely avoid in this context. It may be a running gag in anime, but not everyone in an audience for a parody would like it. I personally would keep it because it's a funny use of shock humor, I'm just saying it's a place to shave time considering it's more risky. Hehe, even if I don't really have any place to talk with the Chobits clip ^^
Still not particularly convinced on the Kids React ending, but all I can say at this point is 'let's see how it does.' But I would let Krvabo's clip finish playing. It gets cut off a bit prematurely even before China complains about it going away. You've still got about 18 completely unnecessary seconds on just a shot with your e-mail and a 'thanks for watching.' You can cut off that part easily at about 26:46 after the last person speaks and just combine your e-mail at the bottom of the AMVS1-4 page. You can put the 'thanks' on the Geico money at the end and it should work just fine.
The intro you chose was an interesting variant on what I said, and works a bit better than before. It's not the real clip though, it's changing the clip entirely, which I think kind of defeats the purpose of using it at all. There's still time to try out what I mentioned before about rendering the title in 3D and having god rays come through from the nuke and use the original "bombshell" song to keep the clip the same with just a title on the end. I think it'll get things straight to the point as well. I have some time to do this still.
Other than that, the clip arrangements are okay, but I think they could be worked around. There are some I can see that will cause potential laughter overlap with ones after them, so I think that should be addressed. This can't really be a final version, because we never even got to the clip organization stage, so we need another shot or two at this I think. If time is a factor, I can point out places where I think laughter will be a problem. We had more musical ones than I remembered, so that's a good thing, they can be used effectively to break things up. One issue I noticed near the end is there started to be a lot of skit clips followed by a lot of music clips all next to one another.
Anyway, looking better. Want me to move forward?
