The atmosphere of the show, the music and atmosphere being the spiritual successor of Deadrising incarnate, and some really excellent scene selection was fantastic, and added together created a really great AMV. Definitely has me going to check out this show IMMEDIATELY.
The only really critisism I could offer is the lip flap here and there, and a few scenes that were a tad too long. But hell, you can ignore those and still really dig this AMV.
Definitely think this is this year's "This is Halloween", and everybody needs to check this out. 5/5
Thank you so much Code. *cries tears of joy*

As for the AMV proper, the opening half seemed a little basic, with the cuts not cohering very well to the music - for instance, the bite of the teacher at the gate would have resonated on "smirk", which you missed by a few seconds. Once we get to chalk breaking on "murder machine", though, the video finds its rhythm and things trip along a lot more merrily (although I might have used the girl on the stairs being kicked by her friend before the blackout at 0:51). I would like to see a title card and credits in the opening seconds, or after the video has ended - it's always nice to know what we're watching in case we want to look it up ourselves, and there's nothing wrong with you putting your name to something that you've authored.
You are so right. The bite would have been perfect at "smirk". I actually edited the first 30 seconds of this AMV last, and since I rushed to release this video during the morning of Halloween, the beginning is a lot less coherent than the rest of the video. The first scene that I edited was actually the chalk scene, so I completely agree that the video doesn't get into its flow until then.
And lastly, I considered making credits, but decided not to. Lately, I've been releasing videos without credits because I can't think of ways to make them interesting. The classic black screen with text looks really plain, and I try my best to be at least a little original when I make AMVs.
