From a technical perspective, it was well done.
From a more holistic perspective... you seem to have missed the boat. Given this song and this anime, you could have made a good Celestine profile or retold the story with an emphasis on the relationship between Belldandy and Celestine and the resulting clash. The female vocals for Bell, the male for Celetine, all done from Celestine's POV.
For that matter, you could have done the former while doing the latter.
You cut on very nearly every bass beat. While this works early on, once you start cutting between a very bright scene and a very dark one (about 0:28), it gets hard to follow. Since you seem to be going back and forth between two extended scenes with no regard for the lyrics that I saw, it became visually very hard to follow. You even missed some great chances for lyric synch - you could have matched the party scene to "drunken disguise changes all the rules".
You also way overdid the emboss flashes. After a while, it starts to wear on the eyes. You definately overdid the beat synch, and when you do that, you usually pay a price. Here, you paid by not having an easily discernable story. The only story I got out of this can be easily summarized: boom. I'm not even going to touch on the white flashes or the lip flap.
You didn't make any obvious technical mistakes, but it seems that most of what you have going for you here. Work on having a more coherent story, one that makes more sense with the lyrics, and pay more attention to the lyrics period.
