Alright, I'll be considering things further right now. I may come up with an idea or two in the next little while, provided school and work don't kill me.
As far as my own schedule in relevance to the project...
Well, for the next... week, I think, the aforementioned two things are going to try and kill me. After that, I would like to try getting around to a solo AMV idea I wanted to do which, depending again on aforementioned factors may or may not take a week or two.
So I guess either way, I probably won't be able to get any actual editing on this done until about 3+ weeks later, unless something suddenly changes. That said, I'm still 100% dedicated to getting this done.
Anyone who has segment ideas, do share & discuss. Coordination seems to be key here.

I do like the intro idea, and option b) sounds like the way to go here.
As far as the transition... that could work. I'd have to see it visually. On the concept level, it sounds like it would work well. Visually... may be a different story.
In terms of transitions in general, I think another consideration is to try coordinating the beginnings and endings of segments with the nearby ones as much as possible. Even if that means just keeping in mind that another video with another theme was just before it, and the segment shouldn't start on some random mid-way action shot. However the transitions are actually done, I'd also suggest trying to have maybe a couple of seconds of overlap on segments at least.
