Thanks, glad I still got an up, even with the sucky song. xD

It would have been fine with another song, but you started off on matching your clips with the lyrics, so when the main focal point of the amv was changed, it kind of threw me off. This began around :32 and lasted until 2:01, which is pretty long. You got back on track though.
On the bright side, it had very nice simple editing and the hd was very nice (by my standards, which probably aren't the same as others.) It was cute, and I smiled most of the time. Probably not my favorite use of the song, if I were to be honest
(Kiarrens's D:), so it didn't really "stand out" for me. But it was by no means bad.
Oh, and I particularly liked 2:32-2:40. The clips were so very well chosen and fitting to the lyrics
Other than what I mentioned in the first paragraph, I really enjoyed it. Like I said, very cute :3

I'll have to work harder on the storytelling in the future, I guess my story didn't get across this time.

And yes, I knew I'd be competing with Ouran Day, it's just always been something I've wanted to edit with. Thanks for the compliments and thanks for the critique.

Anyway, you already know this, but I loved this AMV since the very first beta. I think that the AMV's best quality is its pace. You did a very nice job at maintaining the pace of the song and matching the anime's story to it. Also, I really like your editing style. In a way, I feel that its very similar to my own, but at the same time, its completely different. Paradoxical statements FTW

Since Howl's Moving Castle is licensed by Disney, this is actually your third Disney video to be released this week

. (The first two being your Durarara and Fruits Basket track)
Yes yes, after you saying you didn't get it, I decided to put that on the banner, as a means of hopefully getting across the concept without being too blatant.
And thanks for the compliments! Your feedback throughout its development was greatly appreciated and helped me make it into the great AMV it was.
And yeah, I actually do see a nice compliment between our styles, while at the same time being different. So I get what you mean. ;D

Newhho, I really liked it, just like your Betwixt and Between video it made me feel all warm and happy. Awesome job! ^^
Thanks!

However, enough of the bad. The quality is nice, the pacing was good, and the simple editing style really worked. Reminded me of pwolf for a second. Nice video, but still felt like a summary.
I suppose I need to work harder on my storytelling then. But thank you for the critique, and I will keep it in mind for my next work.
