As girly as this sounds, I actually do like this song very much. And I found that watching your vid was enjoyable to a degree, yet disappointing in another. It feels like this vid can be so much more, but unfortunately doesn't deliver the execution for me.
A lot of the vid is just composed of characters "just talking," and not really doing anything. The vid as a whole feels very static and seems lifeless.
In the future, when making vids that incorporate lip-synch, take advantage of character's expressions and movements. Ask yourself if you can possibly give it more life while editing.

2/5

Having never seen the series, I actually felt this video had a lot of power within itself, both emotionally and physically. The concept was easily enough interpreted, and I felt that the editor did a great job using the characters's emotions and lip sync. The scene that stood out in my mind was when the girl said "I hope he doesn't see right through me". Her expression showed the seriousness of that statement with her looking both concerned about her well being and the happiness within herself for being in the group. I've seen plenty of videos solely relying on lip sync, and this one had it about 50/50 in my opinion.

I dunno, that's just what I felt. Maybe I'm diving in too deep on this one. :O

That's all perspective and taste. Despite my love of disagreeing with everyone, this vid didn't convince me. Yeah I'm sorry, but that's how it is with me. I also thought giving some comments would help besides filling the topic with emoticons.

Thanks all, I really appreciate all of the comments.

Though I do understand that it's not everyone's cup of tea (whether it be how I edited it or the song choice), I really enjoy how it turned out. =]

This is the first exclusively Gurren Lagann AMV I have actually liked. Good Job.
