Does the order of tags even mean anything? I assumed Yue just put the winners in no set order. Maybe I'm wrong, haha.

Interesting that you would put it that way. I've never seen or read Death Note, though I understand the basic plot, and I'd consider the video to have the same level of non-understandability as you imply for other such series. I guess if most people have seen the series, though, it has a lower barrier to entry. 'That well known' doesn't make it 'easy to follow' so much as 'more likely to be easy to follow'?
I should probably put more effort into seeing how I'd view a lot of these videos if I wasn't familiar with their source animes, as well, to see how that affects the impact.

My opinion doesn't really matter since I don't get a say in voting and such, but as someone who hasn't really seen any of the sources used this round, yours made the most sense. Yes, it lacked in technical ability and the audio was indeed derpy (as Oto put it, I lol'd at that) but it had the most clear concept. This is probably due to the fact that Death Note is just that well known so it's easy to follow. I read some of the comments on the other videos where people who have seen the series say "Oh!

So yes, technical aspects are one of the things the judges look for. But a clear concept and/or story is another. So far a decent amount of videos are hurting because while they're technically impressive, you could basically replace the source with anything since it has no connection to the song. In this situation, it was the opposite.
Once more, my opinion doesn't really count, but that's kind of the trend I've been noticing.
