Wonderful World of KimiNozo

Wonderful World of KimiNozo has finally made to final release version despite all the hardware/software difficulties I've been experiencing (and still trouble-shooting):

I know, it is long (00:09:32). If your attention span can't stretch to a few minutes instead of just living in the very moment, this amv is not for you, and neither is the series this amv is based on. Also this video is not for the so called "audio/visual quality whores". Not fullHD, no filtering of source footage, no hands waving in the air to some trendy music at highest possible bitrate.

I know it's a big file (for some reason encoder started crashing at two-pass 2nd pass and I had to upload the two-pass 1st pass - a problem which wasn't present when I made the beta encode). It's 108 MB so while it is big, I hope it's still within reasonable limits for a video that is more than 9 minutes long. I also know it would be better (both for visual quality and compressibility) if I had pre-processed source files or post-processed the exported project.

Opinions are welcome, especially if they are about things I'm not aware of yet, including subjective point-of-view such as how good was the concept and how well did I implement it, what could have been edited better, etc.

EDIT:
Added a h.264 encode with AAC audio at slightly reduced bitrate. It's now only slightly bigger than 50.6 MiB and looks/sounds about equal in quality to previous XviD encode with MP3 audio.

Maybe I'll one day go through the trouble of creating AviSynth scripts for all the input footage and also do some processing on them. Or maybe I just need better source files. Either way I have to retime the clips in the project.
