Here's a link for ya.

Being that you are actually willing to upload, rather than just whine that you can't link to the Tube, I'm definitely gonna check this one out!

Edit: Not bad for a first video. You've got the scene selection down pretty good, except the repetition of the scene of Nana with the blood streaming down her face was kind of annoying. The lipsync could use some work, so practice more of that. Other than that, there's the matter of the video quality/compression, but that's for another day. Practice more editing first, then worry about that nitpicky stuff later.

OK, first of all, I have to say I'm new at this, but even a dumbass can see that this "movie" could not have, in any way possible, been any worse, not so friggin ever.
Even I can see that this thing is probably nominated for the worst "amv" in history, though it would suit better to say a irmv since you actually put a REAL picture in there, for some unknown reason...

Now to the more serious part. I'm gonna list up some of the bad "failures" in the "movie", or whatshamacallit..

1. Quality of the raw material: - Bad choise of format, I could almost see each
pixel moving on the screen. I've seen worse, but
this is definately on the bad side.
- I'ts a subbed formate, wich means english words
interferring with the song and the rest of the stuff.
- The pictureframes freezes multiple times, and it's
not my computer, I can assure you.

2. Song choise: - Good choise of song, but doesn't fit to the rest of the movie.

3. Syncronising: - I don't see any what so ever. Enough said.

4. Added effects: - No visable good ones. I really hope the freezing was not part
of the effects.

5. Summery: My dictionary with over 200.000 words can't describe the "movie" I've just seen. If I was as hard as a friend of mine at commenting, you would be begging for mercy about now. Now, what should we give this "movie"... I don't think a 1 would be sufficient, so I'll give it 0,000 001. Try picking up some tips from the more experienced creators here, since you've got a lot of work to do. And a big tip, get yourself a new videoedditing-software. I recomend Sony Vegas, wich is easy to get a hold of and learn. Also, get some DVD's so you don't have to use subbed versions of your favourite animes.
Hope you get some tips from this, and don't take it too serious if I'm beeing too serious about this movie, I know it's your first try, but it's better to be strict early with you than letting your mistakes go on.

Best of luck on the next project, hope you've gotten some usefull tips.

Strangely the technical shortcomings made it more enjoyable. The lip sync utilising different coloured freezeframes was sort of charming. The live footage was seamlessly integrated. It's only ~3mb.

I liked it, although the ending lacked punch (and left certain plot strands hanging)

I think the concept is kinda cute, but just poorly executed. I am also not sure why the same shots are repeated over and over - repetition can be a powerful tool if used correctly, but this is going a bit overboard... ^_^

I also would avoid using real life footages; if anything at least use clip art or cartoony-styled drawings in place of photos; it'll integrate better with the animated footages.
