Been used to making FF vids, so I tried an anime this time. Only hope I do it justice....
It focuses on Kaname and Sousuke's relationship, please enjoy.

First: aspect ratios. Pay attention to them. With your entire video at 720 by 480, you managed to get all of them wrong. Mixing ARs is a messy business, to boot.

Second: A/V quality. Both are less than stellar here, particularly the video. Might I suggest using a modern codec?

Third: Cuts versus fades. You use a lot of fades, but you sprinkle hard cuts in seemingly at random. Why? I'm frequently not noticing anything musically significant about the cuts.

Fourth: Subs. Horrible. There's no excuse, especially with TSR coming out on DVD now.

Fifth: Timing. Watch it carefully. You've got your share of late cuts and late fades in there.

Overall: 2/5. Decent thematically, but crippled by poor execution.
