Not bad. While I can't say the editing was amazing, it was surprisingly competent for a first. Good atmosphere, rather well chosen scenes...
Here's a few things to work on though:
* It looks like you used about, what, three episodes for the entire video? Considering that the Ghost in the Shell SAC series contains 52 episodes and an OVA, you used a very small percentage of what you could have. More varied scenes would have made your video more exciting. That being said, you did a good job working with what you had.
* Using a song from the anime itself isn't exactly the height of originality.
* Sync is generally decent, but the overall pacing is a little slow for such a dynamic song. Pay more attention to your source song, and try to match the mood and rhythm better. For example, the chorus of Run Rabbit Junk is pretty intense, but I didn't notice too much change in pacing from 1:22-1:40 and then when the chorus kicks in right after that.
That's about it. Good job!

Re: GitS - Boom Boom
Thanks! Yes, looking back on this, I agree, my source wasn't well varied, and the song was a fairly unoriginal idea...
Will try to add more variation in the future, once I actually work to learn some effects and get some more DVDs
