At first I was a little bit confused bcause he mentioned something about the song being in German, but I let that slide and kept reading... Then I reached that third paragraph... which is the same exact paragraph as the first... scrolling down I realized that he had just copied and pasted the same two paragraphs or so to make his opinion seem longer than it was...Remarkably this video uses effects as it should - enhancing the visual experience. While they are obvious, they don't draw attention to themselves or overpower the "narrative" as other videos do. Since you are using fansubs, I gather most of the reasons for using so much effects was to hide the low quality. Regardless, there are a lot of very creative techniques. As someone who just began learning about After Effects, it was very educational to pick out every effect and figure out how it was done - Blurs, Shatter, Masks, Film Grains, LightZoom, Earthquake, Lightning, Time Remapping, etc. - My absolute favorite part is the cross dissolves near the end and how they flowed seamlessly with the lyrics.
In editing all this together, you show a mastery of maintaining creative integrity without "using effects for the sake of using them." It could have been easy to get lost in all the mechanics of playing with the plug-ins, but watching how fluid everything syncs with the music, shows a great deal of focus. And speaking of the music, I found it quite catchy for a song spoken in German. Usually it is the music which carries the video, but when there are lyrics that most people won't understand...The video has to help to carry the "narrative". In this case, it does - brilliantly.
As action videos go, this is one of the best. Rarely have I seen such meticulous detail in restructuring an original concept from the existing story. As effects-laden as it is, the raw aggression complements the music well, and even for non-German speakers the pacing flows beautifully. Two things really stand out about it: The Effects and The Editing.

The best part is when I find out that this opinion was meant obviously for whisper of the beast later on..

So, my question is.. what the hell is wrong with these people |: ?
