You had some decent sync. I think the concept was good, and that the song and the anime could be made to match. I don't think you quite made it.
Most of the effects were entirely unnecessary, and just flat out wrong for a drama vid. If you had been making a dance vid, I could have seen the use for some of them. Others were stock, obviously so, and are never acceptable outside of a middle school project (the page flip comes immediately to mind).
You also had interlacing and macroblocking out the wazoo. I can stand the latter, but the former was really annoying, especially as my media player couldn't handle every example of inter lacing in the vid. Mainly because...
Aspect Ratio! This is a 4:3 source and so all of the clips should be in 4:3. Some of the sequences are letterboxed as well, making adjusting through a media player all but impossible. 720x480 is NOT 4:3 or 16:9, the two average aspect ratios to be found in the AMV community (although there are a few valid others). You need all the footage in this video to correspond to 640x480 without letterboxing.
