Re: Akame ga Kill! (AMV)
Welcome back 
The first 13 seconds of your song is fairly slow, and so the pace that you shuffled through scenes at that part wasn't a really good start for the video. And then, the text that you added was really unnecessary. I feel that the video starts to pick up a bit after 0:45 though. And the mood started to get good at that point. Just make sure to get rid of the lip flap in your scenes. Also, throwing dialogue into your video is rarely a good decision and only works during prolonged down times in your song (like parts that go a really long time without any major beats or lyrics). And if you're going to use text for subtitles, make sure to at least use a drop shadow or outline so that it doesn't blend into the footage. One last thing that I want to point out is that the moments when you speed up your footage felt a little awkward. Its good to speed up your clips when your characters have slow actions, but you need to make sure that it doesn't look unnatural.
Besides from that, the source combo felt really nice, and I like that you tried to focus a little bit on each of the characters and build a good mood for them.
