Just a few technical notes first. You have black bars on each side, and flickering top/bottom parts of the video. These can be fixed with a crop function in Avisynth, and adds a bit of professionalism as well as an easier viewing time for the audience.

In terms of the video, I thought that the audio and video matched very nicely when you combined them, and it had a really good feel to it.

That being said, the scenes chosen lasted too long and needed more variety and a better "matching" with the flow of the music. I also felt like there was too many "stories" in the AMV. It seemed to start out as a romantic intrigue, but then moved to some sort of war, and then into some sort of self-reflection and then some sort of hodgepodge of several different ones. The AMV needed a more clear story, and it needed more focus.

But still, a really good attempt. Definitely unique.

I know about the black bars, I just thought it was a good compromise between cropping the video and changing the size, because the crop tool cuts even a part of the video,
the same problem can be solved using a different pixel size, anyway thanks for the tips, next time I'll have a try with Avisynth.

^^Romance, war and self-reflection my style exactly.

That was a little bit of a bother as I was watching.
Thought your pace was pretty good, maybe a little more scene difference, a few faster clips would have been a great difference : )
Because of that I sort of started to lose a little interest towards the end....

Never seen this anime before so super plus =D Got something new to add to my list, thanks!
Hope to see more videos : )
