I'm a fan of this series. I have watched this. And... there are problems.
I'm not one to immediately bash any container, but WMV usually signifies low quality, and that is precisely what we have here. Your compression rate is terrible, and therefore the video is pretty ugly. A shame, because I could tell the video was pretty well edited. I liked the flow, and I liked how it fit the song. Your zooming effects would have been nice if you hadn't been using such lossy footage that it made the result pretty difficult to watch. You also clearly did not use the R2s because you had the 日テレ watermark in the upper right hand corner, which really, really stood out when you did zooms or flashes. Your effects as far as text and boxes would have been pretty nice, but you had pretty bad frame blending going on.
All in all, this video would have been way more enjoyable if I was able to get past the technical aspects of the presentation. You needed to:
1) Work with DVD footage, or at least HDTV rips that are cleaner and have been de-watermarked, and edit with them LOSSLESSLY
2) Make sure frame blend is off on all clips
3) Make sure frame blend is off on all images and effects
4) Tone down some of the more extreme flashes, because they often hurt the eyes
5) Export LOSSLESSLY
6) Compress into XVID and place in AVI or compress into x264 and place in MP4.
If you can manage to do 5 and 6, and reupload, I will make this a definite keeper. If you are capable of doing anything else in the above list, it will really, really make this effort great.

Though honestly, it doesn't really matter much to me. I appreciate the corrections you made on the effects though cause I know they're kinda bad and I really needed some expert advice on that ^^'
