Pretty clean editing. Nya already said w/e needs to be said about quality. Another decent 5 cm, etc. AMV
Like everyone else said, the yellow border gets really annoying and the sync awkward at times. The scenes hidden behind the singing characters don't fit the lyrics at times. But still, I thought it was pretty cute.

Re: The Tiger and The Dragon's Duet + Shinkai's Serenade
I like how it started out for your Serenade video, but as it went on it just turned into any other
Shinkai video (even though it is a cute idea...just has been done so much though) The quality for Hoshi no Koe looked really bad, wrong AR too. Maybe you should look into down-scaling your project and fix the AR for it.
The ToraDora was interesting, I can't say I liked it though, The masking really needed to be cleaned up (however this issue may just be me because I get very nit-picky with masking) There was definitely something up with the quality of your footage. I wish there was more plot and editing rather than strict lip sync and lyric sync throughout the video.

Re: The Tiger and The Dragon's Duet + Shinkai's Serenade
I've had both of these sitting on my desktop, waiting for some free time to really "view them".
Shinkai: The sync around the :30 mark was kind of funky.. Effects were well intergrateed. "Drenched in vanilla twilight" was a missed opportunity for STARBURSTGASM and to put a nail in CrackTheSky's coffin. I know you used it later [and used WELL], but damn, I was really expecting it. XD But the anime were SO WELL INTERGRATED that I fell in love with it. I've seen over 100 Shinkai AMV's, and this is easily in my top 10 favorites. It really HONESTLY looked like it was just one big anime. Great concept, great execution, and great storytelling. 5/5 [Although I wish the video size had been been corrected on VOADS]
TD!: Had you done away with the masking and lip sync, and let the video speak for itself, I really think it could have been spectacular. AS is, I can't get behind the masks/lipsync and wasn't as much of an enjoyable experience. The yellow was also fairly distracting. Visually, I can't complain as much as Nya, but as long as it looks "acceptable", I usually don't complain, but I did [upon closer inspection] see that Nya was right on a few points. 3/5

Re: The Tiger and The Dragon's Duet + Shinkai's Serenade
I guess with ToraDora, it was more experimental...at least on my part esp since i rarely do lipsync-ing let alone masking lol
And I'm glad ppl seem to enjoy Shinkai's Serenade, aside from the quality lol which one day I will work on with future vids =P
