Audio/Visual: Visually I found the quality to be excellent. Clean and crisp. Your choices of transitions and effects fit well as well. A nice variety of zooms, camera pans, twists, and exposure blurs. I did, however, think that the zoom at 1:09 was a bit too strong. The song had an excellent variety of slow and upbeat moments, and the lyrics went well with the anime source and theme you were going for.

Synchronization: I thought that the sync was pretty solid for the first two minutes. However, from 2:24 to 2:35 I felt some of the scenes were too long and could have been synced to the beat better. There’s a lot of different sound effects and the visuals didn’t really match them. Perhaps simply shorter scenes would have worked or match the cuts to the beat. I really liked the subtle sync work you did at 0:50 with the birds passing each other to match the lyrics “roads collide”.

Story/Theme: Overall, you did an excellent job fitting the visuals with the lyrics and conveying the theme of their two lives/worlds colliding with each other. Good scenes of them apart, together, and then seeking each other out.

Definitely enjoyed this more than your fight AMVs and I look forward to seeing more of your work!

Thank you so much for watching and writing an elaborate review.

I liked the parts where the song slowed down, but when the song picked up, it felt like the scenes were being left behind. I think that you could have capitalized on the sound effects and beats of the song a lot more. I also feel that there are times where the song has really big shifts in it, but you didn't have shifts in your scene selection to mirror that. I think that this guide does a really good job at explaining how to flow between different segments of your song https://youtu.be/J5Jjxb6Lw7s
