Visual/Audio: Visually it was a very clean, crisp, and high-quality upload. It appears you chose to stick very close to original coloring of the source material and it seems you didn’t use any external effects. If you did, I didn’t notice any. I saw primarily hard cuts for transitions, not even cross-fades. An interesting choice.
I didn’t really like the song. Felt kind of monotone, but that’s just personal taste. I think the visuals did fit the audio well, but a more upbeat song would have had a better impact perhaps.
Synchronization: I think you did an excellent job finding scenes within the actual anime to sync with both the beat and lyrics of the song. I did feel like some scenes lingered too long, and I personally would have synced some scenes more tightly to the shifts in pace of the song. For example, at 0:34 there’s some fast drums for a second which I felt could have benefited from a series of fast cuts to match the beat. It’s not a big deal though, since your primary method of sync appeared to be lyrical.
Theme/Story: I haven’t watched this anime, but I didn’t feel to lost or confused watching this AMV. You did a good job introducing the characters, their relationships, conflicts, and humor. Nice job!

Re: Yuru Yuri - Holiday (Green Day)
There were a few moments where the tone of the scenes fit the tone of the song very well and I appreciated the clean and simple editing.
I'm having a hard time understanding the relationship between the anime and the music here. I realize these things don't always have to "match" but this is definitely a song about something and that something wasn't anywhere to be found in this video. I know I'm not supposed to think about it too hard.
Still enjoyable if only because it's so different from what most people seem to be making in 2017/2018.
