I spent quite a bit of time on this and did a bit to employ a few cool editing tricks. I hope everyone will be enjoy.

Hehe, nice! 
Fun and quirky.
It may seem a little hypocritical of me to say this, but at times I felt that there was a bit too much lip synch that didn't really add to the video -- it felt like "well yes, this scene follows nicely from the one before, but oooh, there's lyrics going and there's people talking in this scene, so let's synch 'em". This was a bigger problem in the beginning than anywhere else, I think.
About halfway through the video, I thought I'd also end up complaining about cheesy transitions not adding anything either... but then you didn't really use them much at all in the rest of it. I'd say that, in general, your editing got better as the video progressed.
I thought the picture-in-picture was used pretty well, and I just loved the stuff you did with Il Palazzo's dating sim game.
And "I got hit by a giant truck, I was late to work and got fired" is greatness.

Thanks! But I forgot to ask... why the choice of title? I mean, yeah, it's cute, but the video itself doesn't seem to have anything to do with <i>Kill Bill</i>... I originally thought this was going to be a parody trailer. (Like NekoKuneko [sic] Productions' great video "<a href="http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members ... 2292">Kill Il</a>".

Ah, well, there's a couple of reasons.
Firstly, I wasn't aware of Kill Il, so I thought I was being entirely original.
Secondly, the video has a story that's similar to Kill Bill, except with the lighthearted style of Excel Saga. As in:
Excel's leader repeatedly attempts to assassinate her, so she must receive training and equipment from an old friend ("Nabeshin") to fight back and defeat him.
Basically, in both, you have a blonde exacting revenge on a mysterious and shadowy dictator. But, unlike the Bride, Excel is immortal and fanatically loyal... so her retribution is a bit different.
Thirdly, and probably most importantly, I liked the word play and figured it'd make my vid stand out a little more.
