I agree.Sephirothishere wrote:I've watched this for emotional impact, just like SJCorrectet refered, so i'm kindda satistied, however, the editing seemed kindda fast and rough at a bunch of parts, which cancels some of the extra impact it could have had for me.
Scene selection was overall pretty nice tho
I think the speed at which the clips changed was too fast.
Also, the constant use of crossfades kinda mushed everything together a little too much (if you know what I mean o_O) and it would be better off with hard cuts, which would add more impact and a better flow. Too much anime made for less emotional impact, but overall, I think the mood was set and was rather nice.
During the chorus was the best part. The clips were allowed more space, which was kinda weird. During the slower parts of the song, you had them going fast, and during the chorus, you had it down pat. Still a little too much crossfading during the chorus.
I think the main problem was all of the syncing to the beat and words being sung.
Here's some chunks of the video I went through:
(the beginning of the video)00:10 - 00:21 - too much beat sync. But the clip choice was really nice.
00:21 - 00:26 the sync was a little messy.
00:27 - 00:34 good good.
00:35 - 00:47 a little too much syncing to the words that are being sung.
00:47 - 00:56 good good. But that last clip of Naruto where it showed all of the people standing there was uneeded, and corrupted the nice sync you had going.
1:00 - 1:26 was the first chorus. Well done. This is what made me keep watching, because from here everything got much better.
2:24 - 2:36 was a section where it was done rather well though. And from 2:36 - 3:01, it was on and off, but when it got more upbeat, it got better.
3:01 - 3:40 was my favorite part of all. Just very well done. Nice atmosphere, great sync.
3:40 - End was decent. Still a little too much crossfading, and too many unneeded clip changes, but still decent.
The clip choice was real nice and kept a nice atmosphere. It seems you had a lot of good clips to work with and a lot you wanted in there, but in the end some have to be sacrificed to keep a good sync.
I love this version of the song as well
Overall, a really nice video.
Anyway, since you agree it didn't affect the atmosphere, i believe we're ok... heh. Glad you both liked it. 
And I think the editing is pretty nice, too, the crossfades didn't bother me
